  This place is an undiscovered treasure disguised as a barely open taker-out restaurant next to a gas station. They only do take-out and barely speak English, but their food speaks its own language. My wife got the friend fish over rice and I got the mixed seafood with fish and they were both delicious. El Miami rewards adventuresome diners.

  This "WAS" a great Peruvian place some months back . I would look forward to stopping here as the portions and quality was the best bang for the buck around Westchester NY . I've been to almost every Peruvian restaurants in the area and was happy to find one sorta local to me . I found out that the owner has recently left and the quality and quantity shows . I ordered 3 times with 3 bad experiences which gave me the urge to give this review . I was in the resturant business for over 20 years so I understand certain situation that can occur .
  
  The new person in charge here is giving a lot less and quality is poor .  The ceviche portion has shrunk along with it tasting very bitter having a ammonia smell  which is a result of not being fresh . The next dish was a shrimp only ceviche and not having the shrimp they gave me a mixed one . I got home to the surprise of it and when I called them to let them know they gave me the wrong order they told me they ran out of shrimp and there isn't anything they can do .  My last meal was a lomo Saltado large portion as I gave up on the fish and it was full of French fries .. let me guess ran out of meat on a Friday and substituted it with rice and fries ..
  
  Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere . The service is bad , the atmosphere isn't great and now the food is bad ..

  This restaurant is located in an old diner. Decent Peruvian food but nothing special. White Plains has a large Peruvian population and best indicators of quality food is to follow the natives. There are other better places around town. Till they fix their quality, presentation and service, Don't waist your time here. Sad because they mean well but it's the hard reality.

  Just came back from a fun dinner at El Miski.  It's a little diner that has been outfitted with a bank of rotisseries.  Not many tables.  The staff were very nice and helpful with the menu.  I don't know how they can stay in business with the prices that they charge.  We shared a really generous order of delicious shrimp ceviche.  The chicken was cooked perfectly and the green sauce added a lot of zip.  My wife loved her rice.  The French fries were unremarkable and I'm sorry that I didn't order them well done.  My wife liked the salad better than I did, but it was fine.   We were too full for dessert, but there was some good looking flan sitting on the counter.
  
  Very good, authentic Peruvian restaurant.  We're looking forward to working our way through the menu.

  My father in law had a medical procedure in the area to be done and received an hour break to eat a meal. (He had not eaten for over 16 hours). We placed our order and patiently waited over 25 mins. Given that we were pressed for time I went up to the counter and asked politely ( I work in the service industry as well) how long the food had left to go because of the medical procedure we were pressed for time could the gentleman please check. He rudely told me the food takes 15 mins I don't care sit and wait. I was shocked. I manage a business locally and will let everyone know not to eat there. It is a shame given that the food is good but service is always most important. We walked out and even though I live in the area I will never return there again and will make everyone I know aware of the poor service. The world has changed competition climate is huge just in the area there are 4 more Peruvian restaurants. I hope you guys learn that poor service will ruin your business !
  
  Mi suegro tenía un procedimiento médico en la zona a hacer y recibió una hora de descanso para comer una comida. (Él no había comido por más de 16 horas). Colocamos nuestra orden y pacientemente esperamos más de 25 minutos. Teniendo en cuenta que estábamos presionados por el tiempo me fui hasta el mostrador y me preguntó cortésmente (yo trabajo en la industria de servicios también) cuánto tiempo la comida había dejado para ir debido al procedimiento médico nos presionaron por el tiempo podría el caballero por favor comprobar. Él groseramente me dijo que la comida toma 15 minutos no me importa Siéntate y espera. Me quedé sorprendido. Yo manejo un negocio localmente y le permitirá a todo el mundo saber no comer allí. Es una pena teniendo en cuenta que la comida es buena, pero el servicio es siempre lo más importante. Salimos y aunque vivo en la zona nunca volveré allí y hará que todo el mundo sé consciente del mal servicio. El mundo ha cambiado la competencia clima es enorme sólo en la zona hay 4 más restaurantes peruanos. ¡ Espero que ustedes aprendan que el pobre servicio arruinará su negocio!
