Jaimitos - Clifton

Fantastic Peruvian and Chinese cuisine with generous portions. The staff is incredibly friendly, and you can bring your own beverages.

Pricey BUT worth it for the portion size. Colorful and freshly made. Food was ready once I got there. Seemly friendly staff!

BRAVO!!!! I found me a new Peruvian spot and literally 10 minutes away from where I live. I read reviews and saw pictures and figured I give it a “Go”. I am truly happy I did. I ordered the Pollo con Chaufa the first time and the same the second go round with plantains. FYI: Very limited parking, order your food for pickup to avoid having to wait and bring cash if you don’t want a $3.99 transaction fee on your card.

I can't believe I never knew this place was here! I grew up in the area enjoying homemade Peruvian food, but somehow I never visited a chifa restaurant. The portions are gigantic! Their chaufa is incredible, and the pollo is tender, flavorful, and definitely not dry. The aji verde was tasty too. The lomo is a bit different from what I'm used to, but I still liked it, and my friend loves it. I noticed the salsa criolla didn't have much vinegar, which was unusual for me, but it was still enjoyable. The alfajores were spot on. The staff were all very friendly. My friend mentioned that the owners are a Peruvian-Chinese couple, and their son also helps run the restaurant. There isn’t a lot of seating, so if you have a big group, takeout would be a good option. I’m definitely planning to try the wantan frito and seco de res next time (they were sold out when I visited). Support this local family business and give them a try!

The food here is absolutely delicious! My favorites are Lomo Saltado, Chaufa, Papa a la Huancaina, and the fried wontons. You definitely won't be disappointed! Plus, the aji hot sauce is incredibly good!
