“ Being from out of town and I was looking for authentic Spanish restaurant. This place is really cute. The decor and atmosphere makes you feel really comfortable. The food was sooo good we left very content. The kids loved the chicharron de pollo. We had shrimp ajillo & sea foods paella - simply amazing! Will definitely be coming back once we’re in town again. ”
“ Went for dinner with my daughter. We both enjoyed it. We even tried marinated beef heart which turned out to be pretty good. Desert was different but again very good. Place is small but service was good. Try it if you want something different ”
“ For the price of a coffee shop you can get delicious and unique meal. Very friendly. Who knew how delicious Peruvian food is? ”
“ We only had the Lomo Saltado. Loved it! The aji sauce is really good, too. My son's only complaint was that he needed a bigger portion. I thought the portion was good - I didn't finish mine. We took the food to go service was nice. The atmosphere seemed nice - I can't say 100% because we didn't eat there. ”
“ The food at El rocoto is a solid 10! So delicious with fresh ingredients. The only negative was the pisco sour I had because it was too small and the flavor was average. On the other hand the pisco sour doesn’t let me take away any stars from this place because next time I’ll just get wine instead. This place was definitely a pleasant surprise!

“ My bff has been telling me about this place, so I decided to try it for lunch. There are plenty of dishes to choose from. There is a lunch menu and a happy hour menu. I decided to do a glass of red wine and the shrimp saltado off the lunch menu. The wine was a great choice of cabernet. The saltado had a nice kick to it, it was fresh and pretty darn good. Service was cool. I will def return when in need of a Peruvian dish. ”
“ Good food at a great price! The bistec a lo pobre was cooked well and full of flavor. El Rocoto is definetely a good choice for good Peruvian food. ”
“ Small Peruvian Gem hidden away in Fairfield CT. The place is very inconspicuous. Blink twice and you might miss it. Nestle between Mo’s Wine and Spirits and Maritime Chevrolet, you will find this two story building with apartments on the second floor and a sports bar next door. Don’t be fooled by the looks, the place is great! Not much space tp park and with about 12 tables, you will considered small. They make up in flavor and service. Jaime, our server was very attentive and courteous. He made sure our needs were met. Because it was summer, we sat on the patio on the back and we ordered Peruvian Beer (Crystal Lager) and the red Sangria. Both were delicious. My wife ordered the Beef Milanesa and my son and I ordered the Biftec Encebollado (Steak with Onions). For appetizers we got the Anticuchos (Beef Hearts). Absolutely perfect. We are planning to come back many, many times as we wanted to try other things on the menu. My wife tried to order the 12 roasted chicken (a Peruvian staple) but they were out. It turns out they go fast on Saturdays when we went. New Favorite place, could not recommend it more. ”
