I ordered from Al Toque through GrubHub tonight. I was in the mood for a fried red snapper and this didn't disappoint. I was worried that it wouldn't be crisp coming by delivery, but to my surprise nothing was lost. The fish was flavorful and tender on the inside. The rice was a little dry but the fried yucca was cooked well.
Customer service is probably the best I've received ordering from a restaurant. Their food has always been incredibly delicious, and what takes things a touch above is the care they take regarding their customers. Best Peruvian food in Somerset county !!
Wow! Ordered for the first time. Tallerines verde with rotisserie chicken. It's on the menu with steak instead of chicken but I asked nicely and they came through. Nothing short of amazing. The sauce isn't as bland as the other times I have tried it elsewhere. Not spicy hot but it seemed like it had some dill and other mild spices. The rotisserie chicken was the co-star of this disk. Moist, flavorful and well cooked. It was a large portion and I barely finished it. The staff were attentive and nice. The place was quite clean. I'll be back.
Al Toque is the best and may be my favorite restaurant ever. I get their Chaufa Mixto (Chicken & Beef Fried Rice) with extra Aji Verde (Green Hot Sauce) and it is so flavorful and delicious. I also get cancha (corn nut) on the side for extra crunch. The staff are so friendly and the food is always ready on time, if not only a few minutes after. I have mostly gotten take-out but have eaten in the restaurant a couple of times and it is a nice, small but cozy environment with a decent amount of tables. They are really the best!!!
Al Toque is a small place in a busyish area. It's a Peruvian restaurant and my go to is the chaufa. I ordered online and when I arrived my order was ready. Inside, the place is small with a few seatings but it looked clean. As for the chaufa, it's was delicious. It comes with chicken, steak, and shrimp which blended beautifully together. The aji Verde sauce tasted great. A bit more liquid than the other ones I had just still really good. The rice was nice and tender and cooked well. The food is a bit pricey but they give a hefty amount. The single order I had was enough to feed me twice. Wish they had a chaufa option that was enough for one serving. But otherwise still very good.
Friendly faces and delicious food. We called to order tale out 20 min before closing (we didn't know). We were informed that they were closing in 20 min but if we could make it within that time they would be happy to feed us. We live in the neighborhood so that was no problem. Everything was tasty, fresh and hot (after ordering we did fear that we might get old food but that was not the case). The shrimp chaufa was one of the best as per my husband. The roasted chicken was well seasoned and moist, even the white meat. Salad and french fried that come with the chicken were nothing special but everything else makes up for it.
