Tumi Peruvian Restaurant

What a terrible experience I had at this place today. I really hate to leave not so positive reviews and I normally don’t but I feel like I need to say something about my experience today. To put things in perspective, I have been coming to this place for 2 years. I drive from NYC to get here and it normally takes me over an hour. I never really enjoyed the service too much but I certainly enjoyed the food. Today I was craving ceviche so we drove to Tumi. We were greeted, pointed to a table, and we ordered our food: Fried calamari, ceviche and half a chicken. Something was very different about the food. The fish in the ceviche needed to marinate more in lemon, and it was so salty. The calamari was good and the chicken was ok. My fiancé only ate the drumstick of the half chicken. I didn’t f

First time ever having Peruvian food and I wasn’t excited until I smelled all the yummy food when I got inside. I split the Tumi Chicken special that had a whole chicken, fries and a salad. The Aji verde sauce is out of this world. Absolutely delicious food can’t wait to come back. Bought some of the aji verde to take home it was that good.

The food is good, but it’s sad that I had this experience with them. The food prices were different when we were charged than what was shown on the menu. They also forced a 15% tip and never informed us about it beforehand. I had to take back the cash tip I had left on the table before leaving. This business needs to inform customers in advance if they are going to charge credit card fees, add a mandatory 15% gratuity, or change the prices from what is shown on the menu. Restaurants can do whatever they want, but they must inform customers beforehand so we can decide before buying anything. I am disgusted with my experience eating here.

The atmosphere was nice and the food was great. We ordered lomo saltado de carne, arroz chaufa mixto, pollo a la brasa con papas fritas & salchipapas. The lomo, arroz chauffa and salchipapas were great! Everything was tasty and juicy. The pollo a la brasa was ok. They also have desserts but we didn't have any, we were too full. They have a parking lot too, but it's not too big. We will definitely go back in the near future.

I must say I expected it to be different inside since the outside of the restaurant is really nice. Today was our first time here and I would probably come back but only for a to go order. We saw a waitress with blue gloves picking up garbage from the floor then she’s bringing utensils and plates to the table which was really gross. My husband said something to her (nicely) and she didn’t take it so well. After that was said, no one came back to check on us. They didn’t even bother to come back to the table. The food was good, we love Peruvian food and if the experience would have been different, this place could have been one of our most visited restaurants. Sadly today we had a bad experience.
