Passaic's Favorite Latin Kitchen

Every Plate Tells a Story Your Grandmother Would Recognize

At Los Pericos, we don't chase trends — we honor tradition. Bold spices passed down through generations, ingredients sourced with intention, and a dining room that feels like coming home.

Our Story

Rooted in Tradition,
Served with Pride

Los Pericos was born from a simple conviction: that the most memorable meals come from real ingredients, genuine technique, and the kind of warmth that only a family-owned kitchen can deliver.

Located on Broadway in the heart of Passaic, we draw from the rich culinary traditions of Latin America — from the smoky魂 of Caribbean stews to the bright citrus notes of coastal ceviches — and present them with a respect that honors their origins.

Every dish on our menu has a reason for existing. If it doesn't satisfy both the palate and the conscience, it doesn't make the cut.

Why Los Pericos

What Makes Us Different

Heritage Recipes

Every dish traces back to a real kitchen — not a test lab. We cook the way our families taught us, with patience and respect for the originals.

Warm, Unpretentious Vibe

No reservations stress, no stiff service. Walk in and you'll be treated like a regular — because that's exactly what we want you to be.

Fresh, Intentional Ingredients

We source locally when we can and import the rest with purpose. No shortcuts, no frozen shortcuts — just real food that tastes like it should.

Community-First

Los Pericos has been a Passaic staple for over a decade. We sponsor local events, hire from the neighborhood, and give back to the community that raised us.

Catering & Events

From birthday gatherings to corporate lunches — we bring the flavor to you. Custom menus, reliable service, and food that gets compliments for days.

Right in the Heart of Passaic

On Broadway, easy to find, easy to park. A short walk from the train station — we're your destination, not a detour.
