If you want great Greek food you go to Astoria, and if you want amazing Peruvian cuisine swing by El Anzuelo Fino.
El Anzuelo Fino, meaning The Fine Fishhook, originally opened in 1982 in Lima, Peru and has consistently provided its clientele with the finest Peruvian Cuisine from the most seasoned chefs. In 1998, the restaurant relocated to Woodhaven, Queens, opening a second branch in Jackson Heights in 2008.
This venue packed hearty portions-so come prepared to share! The food is fresh, perfectly seasoned, and authentic. “We strive to offer the finest culinary experience and freshest seafood you will ever taste while continuing our warm and friendly, attentive service. We make you feel like family,” says Boris Torres, son of the couple who operated the initial restaurant in Lima, Maria and Amilcar Torres.” We opened our restaurant in Jackson Heights because we love the rich Latin culture here.”
In turn, El Anzuelo Fino’s many customers love the Peruvian cuisine, as do a number of local food critics who continue to praise the unusual tastes as something new and exciting for the NYC palate. “Our mission is to showcase the flavors and ingredients from the different regions of Peru,” says Boris. “We bring you a perfect combination of authentic flavors and use of cooking techniques and our ingredients set us apart –for example the “Aji Amarillo, a traditional spicy yellow pepper from Peruthat has a floral taste and along with Aji Panca is grown by my grandmother, she sundries and ships directly to us.”
