Rinconcito Peruano — Restaurant in Hartford

Here is my experience at this restaurant server name Mayelli “ Maye” before I forget 20% Tip included ; it’s nice inside has a nice little corner view, when we arrived there was nobody at all not even to welcome us, we sat down the server came and asked us for drinks and wasn’t welcoming at all, to be honest it was very ratchet her treatment, she jumped from one person to another while still ordering drinks with one, they didn’t have Chicha morada really? No Diet Coke no Coke Zero, honestly I felt like leaving but I had my mother and father were there so I didn’t want to be rude, then she asked if “if we wanted cancha “ this is a standard in every Peruvian restaurant she came with two plates of cancha and a green cream But no little plates to for us serve the cancha, No spoons I was still trying to give it a chance with the food, when the food arrive it looked Okay not bad looking But the taste was a good 6/10 not even average beef I ordered medium it was over burned, for my tallarín verde and anticucho, I wanted to order lomo and something else but I was to scare to order at the beginning i am Peruvian flight attendant I fly around the world and try many Peruvians around the world every week; I tried Cora Cora restaurant in Hartford before but has gotten worse and worst over the years but to be honest this one restaurant was worse than Cora Cora Unfortunately there is no more good restaurants here in this part of Connecticut this was my first time and last unfortunately they lost all my business and wouldn’t recommend to anyone to come if it’s your first ti e because i wouldn’t like to have a bad experience about my Peruvian food.

Aquí está mi experiencia en este restaurante, es agradable por dentro, tiene una linda vista de esquina, cuando llegamos no había nadie ni siquiera para darnos la bienvenida, nos sentamos, el servidor vino y nos pidió bebidas y no fue nada acogedor. , para ser sincera fue muy trinquete su trato, saltaba de una persona a otra mientras seguía ordenando tragos con uno, en serio no tenían Chicha morada? No Diet Coke no Coke Zero, sinceramente, tenía ganas de irme, pero mi madre y mi padre estaban allí, así que no quería ser grosero, luego preguntó si "si queríamos cancha", este es un estándar en todos los restaurantes peruanos que ella vino con dos platos de cancha y una crema verde Pero no había platitos para servir la cancha, No había cucharas Todavía estaba tratando de darle una oportunidad con la comida, cuando llegó la comida se veía Bien, no estaba mal Pero el sabor era un buen 6/10 ni siquiera la carne de res promedio pedí mediana estaba demasiado quemada, para mi tallarín verde y anticucho, quería pedir lomo y algo más, pero me asustó ordenar al principio soy azafata peruana vuelo alrededor el mundo y probar a muchos peruanos alrededor del mundo cada semana; Probé el restaurante Cora Cora en Hartford antes, pero ha empeorado cada vez más con los años, pero para ser honesto, este restaurante era peor que Cora Cora Desafortunadamente, no hay más buenos restaurantes aquí en esta parte de Connecticut, esta fue mi primera vez y lamentablemente la última Perdieron todo mi negocio y no le recomendaría a nadie que venga si es su primera vez porque no me gustaría tener una mala experiencia con mi...

We had dinner with my family and they were quick to serve us the menu and get our drink order. But then we saw that it kept taking longer to get our food and two other tables with only two people had their food first. Personally I would serve the table that has more since I always give a 20% tip. But we ended up waiting over an hour for our food and one platter they had forgotten and didn’t give a valid excuse for it. The bigger the party the worse your experience. And it seemed like they knew some people there and were more catering. This was our first and last time we will be here. I’ve been to a lot of Peruvian restaurants with my wife who is Peruvian and she says and I agree with her there are other better Peruvian restaurants with better food and service. I do think they are short staff. Also, slow service very slow. And half the time they would say be right back but it would be ten...

What a beautiful restaurant- such beautiful decor and tables beautifully set with red roses and linens and Peruvian music playing. During Covid times, we ordered our meals in person to take out. How dearly I wanted to enjoy our meals in such a lovely setting. Staff were gracious and kind. We ordered the ceviche and one beef dish and a linguine with mussels and octopus. Oh my goodness! The food was exquisite. The portions were enormous. We probably could have split a plate as it was a lunch order- but in today’s times we feel it’s better to support businesses as fully as we can, when we can. I’ve never enjoyed Peruvian food before- and it was such a beautiful taste sensation, I’m so happy to have tried something new to us. I look forward to returning and experiencing this lovely restaurant at a proper table hopefully not to far...
