Quechua Nostra — Restaurant in New York

Very disappointing customer service. I have been going here for years and my order never strayed far from the pollo a la brass. However I decided to splurge and order ají de gallina, chancho, maduros, arroz chaufa, lomo saltado y pollo a la brasa. None of the food was up to par! I think the people who are finding the food good have never had the actual dishes. Similarly it was not even whether it was authentic, the food was mainly under seasoned except for the aji de gallina which was over salted but that was crazy over charged because it's a chicken based dish but over 90% of the plate was potatoes with the smallest bit of chicken on top. When we called to express our frustration after spend 100$ on take out we were told that this is how we do it, if you dont like it go elsewhere, no apologies, no offer to fix any of the dishes. Just gotta be happy with wasting 100$ and that's it. Ultimately only 10$ of the 100$ was edible. The people who run this place are not even peruvian. Beware the fake authenticity and more than anything the rude customer service. I would only get the pollo a la brass from here if I go back but even that is a gamble because some times it's under seasoned and sometimes its dry. Very hit and miss. Would...

We usually don’t go here because of the ridiculous small portions but their food was decent in terms of flavor and we weren’t that hungry, so portion was ok for today. We ordered two lomo saltados. First the food as usual small portions, but this time worse. The skirt steak if that what it was, was cut in small one inch squares, 2 to 3 pieces of tomatoes, a few pieces of onions, and about 5 to 6 pieces of fries…no flavor. Let’s not forget the 2/3 cup of white rice in each order. My 19 year old son makes better white rice than this spot. We felt like we got take out in an unknown spot. To think we paid $18 for each, tip and a freakin service fee for using our credit card. What a rip off! We could go across town and get same meal and both my husband and I eat with one order and it taste better. Sad!!!!! We like to support our community restaurants but both my husband and I will never go there again!!!! Tasteless, small portioned, over priced Peruvian food. Never again...

Our new favorite Peruvian restaurant. If you like cozy & unpretentious plus such good food combined with pleasant & attentive service, this is your place. Tonight my hubs & I shared Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken, avocado salad, & Papa rellena (riced potato ball stuffed with delicately seasoned ground meat & greaselessly déep fried so it has a thin, crisp coat). We took an extra "papa rellena" home as well as a good portion of the entire dinner. The food is just so good, nothing too fancy to make you feel like you have to sit up straight or button your coat-- just really satisfying, perfectly seasoned, good food! The coffee we loitered over with a caramel- filled buttery shortbread cookie were just right too. Five-plus stars! We...
