Cj Peruvian Bar Restaurant (pollos A La Brasa Cj)

It's nice that we tried here. my fiancée enjoyed his suppe and was surprised to find half a crab in it! it was my first time to try ceviche, and I loved it! try the passion fruit juice we couldn't get enough of it.

Peruvian restaurant, or an attempt to be a Peruvian restaurant? Whatever it is, it is not a good experience. The food was non-descripted, very bland, perhaps due to low quality of the ingredients. The fried squid was dried, no flavor. The best thing about that dish is the salad with pickled red onion. We waited a long time for the fried chicken (about 40 minutes); and it was a disappointment. Chicken was dried and flavorless. French fries were the frozen type, thrown in the hot oil at the last minute. Our side dish was fried plantain came closest to deliver the flavor of the region. Service was terrible. The wait for food was too long, for the food that was not worth waiting for. Instead of going to CJ, you would be better off going down the road to BJs and get its rotisserie chicken. It is a lot cheaper, tastes better, and without a long wait.

I really want this restaurant to succeed and I have given them many chances in my 5 or 6 visits here in the past 6 years. However I cannot justify going back anymore even though the staff is friendly. The food has been OK maybe twice but the high prices and low portions never justify the expense. I have also tried dining in but waited 15 minutes just for them to get my drink order and after another 15 minutes waiting for the drinks and to order my food I just left. I really hope they improve as I work nearby and generally love Peruvian food.

Worse place ever!!!! So….. I order one roasted chicken, they said that I can only order half of a chicken for $18, they don’t want to sell a whole chicken bc they spend to much water and used too many plates, so, only whole chicken to go, half to eat in, this people became extremely expensive, they are not humble anymore, after the city help them with my/our money tax payers to expand, than they became greedy!!!!! This people are bad!!! They became discriminated!, they don’t want more than 8 people in one table, I do NOT recommend this place! So this people answer back, calling me liar, and talking about legal action, some people don’t like when others speak the truth about services! I’ll keep writing my reviews with the truth as I always have

I've never had Peruvian food, but I'll be back! the food was fresh, well tasted and good enough to go back the next day. the seafood crush was amazing!
