Serving the Best Pollo a la Brasa Since 1996 El Gordo Restaurant is more than a unique dining experience; it’s a family
experience. After 15 years in business, the Armero family stands strong as a pioneer
in bringing authentic Peruvian cuisine to the tables of multi-cultural families across
the Paterson/Passaic area.
The spices, ingredients and love put into our food makes everything on our menu
authentic. Don’t believe us, just try some of our customer favorites like Pollo a la
Brasa or Lomo Saltado (and don’t forget to have the green sauce on the side,
we’re notorious for it).
