Populairste Peruaanse restaurants in Theater District

Our experience at Frida was fantastic. The reservation process was simple on OpenTable, and we spent no time waiting to be seated. Although we had to wait a little for anyone to come visit our table, the hostess picked up on it and took care of us right away. She checked in repeatedly to make sure we had everything we needed. Even sitting next to the bar and front door, we never felt overwhelmed with noise or a crowd. The drinks were outstanding. The Rivera was a smoky cloud of yum, the Empress fit for a queen, and the Aji Amarillo Mezcalita went down warm and smooth. Bottles of Jarrito’s pineapple for the non-drinkers rounded off our drink order. The food truly amazing. The esquites were creamy and spicy, the guac chunky and so easy to devour. If you enjoy ramen, their Birria ramen cannot be missed. I cannot skip fish tacos if they are on the menu, and they were among the best ever. My wife and daughter devoured their birria tacos, and my picky teenager proudly exclaimed as he scraped the bottom of his Lomo Saltado, “and I even ate the vegetables!” Alas, we were too full for dessert, that’s for our next visit!

Excellent service. Very good food, but not exceptional. Restaurant looks nice—attractive interior design, noice level a bit high. Prices are on the high end.

Nothing fancy abut authentic Peruvian/Mexican food, and very friendly weight staff. Awesome margaritas. I love the atmosphere. Definitely gonna return when I’m back in NYC. 

Good portion for the price. can use some extra cleaning in the back on the way to the restrooms.
