Im looking for something that has some good menu selection, im not opposed to the idea of buffet style either. Not too chi-chi, somewhere you feel comfortable having that extra cup of coffee while the kids are slurping down some chocolate milk!! Any place like that in Queens?? Heck include some of Long Island in that if you wish.. Thanks for any input.

Everyone thats been there seems to really like it!! You said there are some Peruvian places, any good chicken in those places? I went to the big food fair in Montreal(a must if you are ever in Quebec in the summer)and i tried Peruvian chicken for the first time, It was THE most delicious thing i had ever tasted as far as chicken goes, but i havent been able to find any places around here. Tanks again for the tip!! Thu Apr 04 15:05:42 -0800 2002 1260326 0 Genevieve 3 1260329 There are at least 4 peruvian restaurants in port chester. I've been to one, but only had seafood. In my 3/6 post about port chester, I think some others chimed in about Peruvian. Please report back on your experience (to Tri-state board).

Their rotisserie chicken is wonderful spiced, devilishly greasy, and so tender it falls off the bones. And their beans are great too- a little bland, but great when mixed with their house-made hot sauce. AND, it's wicked cheap.

I like their beans too. :) They also have one somewhere on Northern blvd. :) Thu Apr 04 21:44:35 -0800 2002 1260328 0 Jayask 3 1260348 If you make the trip to Portchester the best Peruvian chicken is at Misti at 100 North Main Street (914-939-9437). My husband's been to Peru many times and says this is authentic. Just 2 blocks away on the other side of the train station from Crossroads. Enjoy. Fri Apr 05 06:50:32 -0800 2002 1260328 0 Lisa M.R.
