Peruvian food in NYC

118 Peruvian restaurants in New York City, listed by borough.

Start with ceviche, raw fish cured in lime with ají and red onion, served with sweet potato and big-kernel corn. Then lomo saltado, a beef and onion stir-fry over fries and rice that shows off Peru's Chinese influence, or ají de gallina, shredded chicken in a creamy yellow-pepper sauce. Pollo a la brasa, the rotisserie chicken with green sauce, is the everyday order.

Queens has more than half the city's Peruvian restaurants, spread through Jackson Heights, Corona, Elmhurst and down Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill and Woodhaven. Caleta 111 there holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Manhattan and Brooklyn have smaller clusters, and many of the chicken spots are small chains with several branches.
