We ordered 4 dishes through doordash. They were all extremely extremely salty. I can’t taste anything else. The meat is either low quality or not fresh. This is probably the worst takeout we ever had…

I can’t say enough good things about Auténtico! The service is always friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The drinks are fantastic, especially the Pisco Sour. Every dish is phenomenal, and the ceviche is outstanding. If you’re looking for amazing Peruvian cuisine with great drinks and excellent service, Auténtico is the place to go!

Definitely the best! Thi is the only peruvian restaurant that serves authentic Peruvian food. have tried peruvian restaurants throughout the US(Florida, NJ, NY, MD and all VA) and none of those restaurants have the flavor Autentico has to offer.
However this is for the owner to consider, the alfajores are terrible and so is the chocoflan. I wont try more of the desserts because it is apparent they are not consistent with the restaurant’s excellence. To summarize food is excellent however their pastry provider needs to be replaced immediately.
The chicha morada has a lot of room for improvement as well. The real chicha morada one is at P&N ( used abbreviations just for the owner to decipher).
I come very often and refer this restaurant to many friends and i always say it is the best. I will keep recommending this restaurant as the only real deal for peruvian food and great atmosphere.
