Peruvian Cuisine Uncle Paulie's

South American food is slowly but surely becoming a mainstay in American diet. With it comes a variety of truly delicious dishes from the Southern Hemisphere. I recently ate at a great Peruvian restaurant Uncle Paulie's near me. Their food was amazing and I will definitely go back.

This small restuarant located in Maywood New Jersey, (14 miles directly west of New York City more or less) has one signature dish -pollo de brasa - rotisserie chicken. Diners can order it whole, halved or quartered and with a special sauce. However it is just amazing plain, succulent and flavorful. It was really cooked to perfection , which is unusual for rotisserie chicken served in restaurants. There is also bifsteak and fish too, spiced to reflect the Peruvian diet.

Another good dish are the fried plantanos or plantains. These were perfection as well. The bananalike veggies were fried to a lovely crisp which seemed to caramelize them. Another plus is that Uncle Paulie's doesn't stint on servings. There were enough for three or four people (however they were so tasty I practically finished up one basket). The restaurant also has traditional rice and beans along with fries as other sides too along with salads.

Uncle Paulie's is a great place to go to and to be introduced to Peruvian food. The dishes are wonderful and addictive.It's a restuarant that will surely get a following.
