This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.
The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. The most common schedule is 11 am–10 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

Paterson is in New Jersey, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Paterson is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New Jersey's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Honestly I have been coming here for 13-15 years. Almost all my life, recently I have started coming again and the chicken smells foul. Along with the other food. As much as I love this restaurant the food has become worse. So sad to see what has happened

I decided to revisit Panchitos, and wow—what an experience… just not in a good way. Let’s start with the **chicken**, which arrived undercooked. Not “a little pink,” but “did anyone introduce this to heat?” levels of undercooked. After sending it back, it returned impressively dry, as if they took it as a personal challenge to remove every last drop of moisture *and* flavor. The **fries**? Imagine wet cardboard with a hint of freezer burn. I’ve had better texture from leftovers that sat out overnight. The **ají**—once the highlight—was so bland I genuinely wondered if they forgot what it’s supposed to taste like. No spice, no kick, just disappointment in sauce form. Service was equally memorable. The waitress made it very clear that asking for something as outrageous as a takeout container was a personal inconvenience. Customer service here seems to be more of a suggestion than a standard. And the **bathroom**? Absolutely disgusting. No soap, questionable cleanliness—basically a great way to lose your appetite entirely. No straws, no flavor, no reason to come back. This place used to be a solid Peruvian spot, but at this point it feels like it’s running on reputation alone.

Food : very good and fresh Peruvian food! I got the pollo la brasa And the chicken was very juicy and flavorful . My boyfriend got lomo And it was a very big portion size and was very tasty as well. Service : very nice and welcoming people Atmosphere : I was a little hot while eating. They don’t have the best AC. I took a star away because I feel like the restaurant itself can be a little more updated and also I kept seeing ants on the floor (anyone seen the same thing?) Other than that, the food is top-tier and very much worth the visit.

This place brought me back to my childhood. Food and customer service was a 10/10. I didn’t know if they had tartar sauce so I asked my server. At first they didn’t know what it was but just a couple minutes later they brought tartar sauce I was about to cry since there are no many Peruvian restaurants that offer this sauce. 100% recommend and I will come back
