The Corcoran GroupNovember 14, 2011One of the only, and the best, Cubano Chino restaurants in NYC. Start with the Sangria and then dive into some Peruvian Chicken with Roast Pork Fried Rice. Beware of the crowds!
my #1 spot in NY!! gr8 pricing, Food is totally AWESOME..Nutcrackers on Point! My fav is the Red Sauce shrimp it's just spectacular !!!! The Lomo chicken & beef my friends just had was also AMAZING!
Favorite Peruvian roast chicken place. It's way better than Pio Pio! The squid ink fried rice and green pastas are ridiculously awesome too.
Andrew CarlsonJune 29, 2019Green rice pot w/ chicken + sweet plantains + beans is — and I mean this with zero exaggeration — my favorite lunch meal in the world right now. Get a pitcher of the red sangria
Alex AlbertFebruary 13, 2020Must get the lunch special!!! Best deal I’ve ever had in nyc and the most food! Pork chop and pepper steak with plantains are to die for. So glad I found this place!
dawn.in.newyorkJanuary 26, 2015The place where you can enjoy the pio pio style south american roasted chicken and some Lomein or other delish Chinese dishes at the same time. Also have great lunch specials.
Tirome MackMay 10, 2015I usually start with a nutcracker, get a lobster tail in deviled sauce with white or yellow rice and tostones and finish off with ANOTHER NUTCRACKER..perfect date spot
LiRen ZhuJune 2, 2013If you understand English, Spanish and Chinese, the menu can get a little overwhelming - just stick with one language.
Gal AmirMarch 21, 2015Awesome place. Great value for money! Take the Sangria, lomo saltado and the 1/2 chicken with rice. Just great.
Half chicken with house special fried rice will never go wrong. Try the salt and pepper squid. Mmmm.
Ricky SherrillMay 3, 2016You will not be disappointed with this choice. A unique menu that us full of surprises. Listen closely to the specials & grab some drinks.
PhilipJanuary 31, 2020Reasonably priced Peruvian and Chinese food. We took the kids and tried the Peruvian. They are picky eaters but liked their aguadito and arroz verde com pollo.
- Red Sauce Shrimp with Avocado Salad and a Nutcracker are to die for !!!!
Alex TsuMay 25, 2017The Green Pepper Steak lunch special is everything I dreamed it would be and more.
djnessnycSeptember 6, 2011The "Lomo Saltado" is their signature dish... But on fri & sat, they serve the legendary "chupe de camarón" which is a signature semi spicy soup to DIE for... Their "nutcrackers" are legendary as well
One of my go to delivery restaurants on the UWS. Love pork fried rice, ribs, & 1/2 chicken.- Christian CruzSeptember 14, 2010This place is usually the first stop I make when I visit NYC. The Super nutcrackers are the best, and the food is awesome. You can pick a random item from the menu, and I guarantee it'll be good!
Kate GriggsJanuary 5, 2013The waiters are so caring and awesome. Ask for recommendations!! Also, the Nutcracker is a stellar drink, worth the NYC price
Mish and RobJune 10, 2015Go at lunchtime when it isn't packed! Peruvian chicken with sweet plantains is incredible; ditto lomo saltado.
Stephanie DeDeckerJune 23, 2018Chinese and Peruvian combination menu at its finest! Takeout and delivery are always on time or early
Serious EatsAugust 30, 2013Flor De Mayo isn't a fusion restaurant — rather, both cuisines coexist harmoniously on a menu that may seem like a cut and paste job at first glance.
Long CaoMarch 31, 2013The Lomo Saltado and Pollo a la Brasa fulfills the rare trinity of food in Manhattan: cheap, good, and filling.
Deep BJune 6, 2014Awesome food. Tried the spaghetti and a fish appetizer (cant remember name sorry) Was just too good
Best Peruvian and/or Chinese in NYC. No contest, period, end of story. The fish ceviche has no comparison.
order: the steak or chicken lomo w/egg fried rice+ your choice in the rice. and dont 4get a nut cracker or a super nutcracker if your up to it.
The Lomo Saltado was delish! Make sure you come hungry when you go to this place. You will get full fast.
Tim UsmanJanuary 26, 2016Food is good. Order half roasted chicken with rice👌 the only problem is everything is too salty, if you sensitive like that, - order white rice instead
Cheapeats IncSeptember 24, 2011Chino cooking. Eat like a pig for cheap. Arroz con Pollo, Boliche Mechado, Ropa Vieja, Escabeche. Wash it down with an Inca Cola. Delicioso!!!!
Ceviche mixto, chicken with plantains, lomo saltado is the way to go
New York HabitatNovember 23, 2011Get a pitcher of sangria and the pollo a la brasa or lomo saltado. Yup, it's gonna be a good night.- You must try the Peruvian chicken and squid ink fried rice. Amazing.
- Roberto ThaisOctober 30, 2014Drink the nutcracker. For some background:
BettyMarch 26, 2014Mix it up with a whole Pollo a la Brasa (Peruvian Chicken) and Squid Fried Rice. Best of both worlds.
Sean DalyMarch 13, 2015Food was great. Atmosphere was ok. Kind of place you go every now and then and enjoy it
Jasmine HamlorMay 1, 2014The fried boneless chicken is amazing!!? But our waiter was a complete asshole.- Half chicken w/ fried rice is a tasty, good value that's served quickly. A triple threat
Ron CNovember 13, 2011Order the Lomo Saltado. On the Peruvian page (last page of menu). Its spectacular.
Hope RuthDecember 3, 2011First time here!! Amazed by the food!! I had chupe de camarón & roasted half chicken.... I'm happy
