El Rocoto Fairfield Exit 22 — Restaurant in Fairfield

Small Peruvian Gem hidden away in Fairfield CT. The place is very inconspicuous. Blink twice and you might miss it. Nestle between Mo’s Wine and Spirits and Maritime Chevrolet, you will find this two story building with apartments on the second floor and a sports bar next door.

Don’t be fooled by the looks, the place is great!

Not much space tp park and with about 12 tables, you will considered small. They make up in flavor and service.

Jaime, our server was very attentive and courteous. He made sure our needs were met.

Because it was summer, we sat on the patio on the back and we ordered Peruvian Beer (Crystal Lager) and the red Sangria. Both were delicious.

My wife ordered the Beef Milanesa and my son and I ordered the Biftec Encebollado (Steak with Onions). For appetizers we got the Anticuchos (Beef Hearts). Absolutely perfect. We are planning to come back many, many times as we wanted to try other things on the menu. My wife tried to order the ½ roasted chicken (a Peruvian staple) but they were out. It turns out they go fast on Saturdays when we went. New Favorite place, could not...

Sorry but won't be coming back. It's unbelievable that itll take this people the same exact amount of time to make a cup of coffe as it'll take them to prepare a bowl of beef soup.

Finally after another 8 minutes had passed he shows up with a cup of coffe and two minutes later the soup comes out. So here I am looking like a shmuak! With a full cup of coffe I'm trying to drink and a bowl of sup that's getting cold .

Ps don't bother asking for splenda, they...

Good place a little difficult to find but we made it. This location has a warm homey feel to it, it was like walking into a place I've been in before. Granted it was my first time here. it was your typical tasting Peruvian food. I gave it three stars because when I finally ate it it felt like I've had this before. My food was prepared well and came out quick but the flavors to me were, how can i say this, basic. Once again it was a good plate of food it just didn't wow me. Yes i would recommend this place to any who is trying Peruvian food for the first time and to everyone who have already tried Peruvian and are scared to try...
