Great selection of food. Steak, chicken, fish, shrimp. Very tasty. Love their sauces.
My family and I have been going to El Rocoto since their opening more than 20 years ago and we have nothing to say but that this... place is amazing. Truly authentic at its best! Sure there are times where they?ve hit a bump on the road but this last timethat we were there (Sunday 08/14), we had an excellent experience. We started off with Papa Rellena and Anticuchos de Corazón.The Papa Rellena was so soft and flavorful. The salsa criolla that accompanied had all the right ingredients and really added tothe dish. The Anticuchos were well cooked and the sauce was made just right. For our main plates we had Saltado de Mariscos andLomo Saltado. Both excellent plates that had tender pieces of meat and good ratio of meat to fries. For dessert, we hadPicarones which were also drool worthy. They were crispy, sweet, and soft. Read more
It was July 28th, Peruvian ???????? Independence day, and my family wanted to take me out to El Rocoto Peruvian restaurant to... experience the unique South American flavors. Fair warning. You won't find any kind of tortillas or refried beans on thesedishes, nor tomato based sauces, etc. That's more Central American. Since my family were raised in Lima, I tried a seafood dishI shared with my family called Ceviche. Basically, cured fish, sweet potato and Leche de Tigre. (Look it up). Then I ordered aseafood plate called Pescado (fish) Macho. It was a generous piece of fried fish with an assortment of seafood stew underneath.Mussels, shrimps, octopus, calamari and scallops mixed with a creamy sauce. It included side dishes like rice ????, papafritas???? (fries), and a salad ????. I washed it down with Cusquena golden lager ????. It was a lot of yummy food. Guess whyit's called, Macho. Didn't wait long , food came out hot and fresh. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable on the menu.Atmosphere had modern architecture with Latin music ????. We would return again. Recommend to everyone not looking for Tacos orburritos. Read more
