Peruvian Plates in a Bronx Room with 40 Seats
Eat Lomo Saltado and golden shrimp at a compact Peruvian corner restaurant on East 149th Street.
🍽️ Small Room, Full Plates
Los Nisperos puts Peruvian comfort food into a compact Bronx corner. At 500 E 149th St, rotisserie chicken, fresh seafood and family combos give you several ways to build a meal. The room holds about 40 people at most, making its small scale part of the plan before you gather a group.
Start with Lomo Saltado, where strips of meat, red onion and tomato sit over fries beside a mound of white rice. Glossy sauce gathers around the edges of the square plate, with plenty of onion tucked between the pieces. The kitchen makes green sauce too, a different companion for those seasoned plates.
Seafood takes a different turn with golden breaded shrimp, lettuce and a dipping sauce on the side. It is a straightforward table setting, white plates, a dark tabletop and paper napkins. The appeal stays with the food and the close quarters, a neighborhood meal with Peruvian classics at its center.
