El Gordo Peruvian Eatery - Jersey City

Appropriate prices, service with a warm smile and low-key vibe! Perfect neighborhood spot for when you want to eat comfort. El Gordo 's Rotisserie Chicken, right from the grill, tick all boxes. Ceviche mixto (I usually odrer picante version) is really delicious and fresh. Peruvian desserts (flam, fruit jelly etc.) with a cup of steaming hot coffee is certainly a game made in the sky. Oh, God!

The streets are Zabriskie and Hutton... used to experience their food in the pandemic. I LOVE THEIR SOUPS and their green sauce knew what they did when they began to bottle it. Her tasteful dishes for me are her seafood dishes.

Chicha Morada drink is delicious. It?s perfect. I loved the breaded chicken but I did not care for the green pesto sauce in the spaghetti dish. The Pescado Saltado is delish. I had the shredded chicken entree and that was pretty good too. I love their onion salad. Service was always friendly and welcoming.

Visited this spot because I saw it on a tiktok. I only had two simple dishes, caldo de gallina and anticuchos. Both in nice portions and very tasty. The service was great, Melvin was super nice and welcoming. The place was small but clean and organized. Definitely will come back.

I was in this restaurant several times, the food is delicious, the best chicken! Last time I tried the Seco Mixto. Very good court too! When I and my husband want good food, reasonable prices we go to El gordo!
