About us

Nosotros

A Peruvian rotisserie and restaurant in Kearny, New Jersey.

Charcoal rotisserie chicken

Our pollo a la brasa is why we're called El Hornero, "the oven": a charcoal oven, a good marinade and patience. Order it whole, half or quarter, with fries, salad and ají.

Seafood & ceviches

Seafood is our specialty: ceviches, tiraditos, jalea, seafood stews, chowders and parihuela. Peruvian coastal cooking, made to order.

Peruvian Creole cooking

Home-style classics: lomo saltado, bistec a lo pobre, anticuchos, pesto and huancaína noodles, plus soups like criolla and minuta.

Chifa

The Peruvian-Chinese food everyone craves: chaufa fried rice, aeropuerto, chijaukay and tipakay chicken, and wonton soup.
