Food was ok very crowded. We were pushed to get up and leave. One of the waitress I could hear her talking loud or pretending she didn’t know we couldn’t hear her saying. There are people waiting for our table. She was rude doing that. Be aware about tip charges when the waiter brings the bill they don’t comunícate that to you. Don’t tip more than your already been charged with tips included it.

The drinks were good, the lomo saltado was on point. I didn’t like the ceviche it was either not made with fresh lemon or it was old. I did like the attention, and aji verde was pretty good. Also prices are affordable except that they charge a fee for paying with debit card.

This place definitely gets a four star for great ambiance, service and desserts! The churrasco and fish meals were phenomenal. The one thing lacking was flavor for their side of beans but other than that this place was a great find in an area is often overlooked.

I went to el ajicito with my family to celebrate my brother’s birthday. The service is great, friendly staff, and made you feel at home. I ordered the weekend special “arroz con pato”, it was deliscious, big serving, was very happy with it. I also the the maracuya drink which was great. I will come back again as it is also a happy atmosphere. Thank you!

Best Peruvian cuisine on Long Island… great prices, large portions and excellent bar cocktails.. Food is on point and delicious, nice atmosphere INSIDE. Lol. My wife is Peruvian and she approves of this message.

Nice, quaint establishment with a small parking lot in the back. It was okay. Food was on the pricier end for the quality. Plantains were good. Portions were decent. However, lots of fruit flies in the establishment made it distracting.

Review update: used to be my go-to place for Peruvian but hasn’t been up to my standards lately. Went this past weekend and my husband had a piece of metal string (from dishwasher brillo) in his soup. The waitress tried to tell us that it was the string used to tie the chicken, but we both have food-handling experience and know what that piece of metal was from. The fact that it was denied to be brillo made us both feel like this place was losing their touch. Will be in search of a new Peruvian place for sure. (If I don’t find another, la candela in Hicksville is the place to go!)
