CJ Peruvian Bar & Restaurant - (Pollos a la Brasa CJ)

"I tried to leave a review but it wouldn't let me. The reviews were really good but as an american italian I thought the food was very boring. No salt or pepper were served. There were no condiments available except hot sauces. I guess you have to be familiar with this type of food t oenjoy it. I wouldhope i thefuture some types of other condiments could accompany the food served here. I told the waitress, whom was very kind, but she wasnt willing to compromise or offer dessert or something to maybe, at least, anticipate a return with my peruvian friend. We won't be coming back."

"Food was the bomb! I went there for my birthday (September 24th and I am libra by the way lol) 5' 5" There was only one waitress for like 10 tables. Food took forever to come. There were so many takeout orders so that was a good sign that this peruvian business is consistent!!! So they must be doing good financially. Ceviche was ok Waitress Lady was so frantic I feel bad for her (I I used to be a waiter before so I empathize) Seafood was AWESOME!!"

"So glad we tried this place. My fiance really enjoyed his soup and was surprised to find half a crab in it! It was my first time trying ceviche and I loved it! Definitely 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."

"My family LOVES this restaurant!! We were visiting New London to visit the Coast Guard Academy. We wanted to eat at a local restaurant and found Pollos A La Brasa on Google as a highly recommended restaurant. We were amazed by the food! First of all we all got huge portion sizes. The food tasted so delicious and this is the consensus of a family that has very different tastes. Customer service was excellent and the ambience is great. You will be happy with this restaurant! Oh! It is safe for people with nut allergies."
