Perhaps I was expecting too much after reading all the TripAdvisor reviews and seeing the #1 rating. Don't get me wrong, I had a very pleasant experience and good service, nice setting and atmosphere. But when I see a food menu that goes for pages and pages with lots and lots of items, then a beverage menu and wine list... More

We researched where to eat in Hartford, and Cora Cora Restaurant was top of the list. After driving by this restaurant many times, my wife and I decided to give it a try. When stepping into the restaurant, you can feel the richness of the Peruvian culture. The ambiance is nice, everything is pristine, and it's always a good sign... More

Two drinks, appetizers, entrees, two desserts all for $72. Very authentic meals. Food was excellent, restaurant is comfortable and spacious, rest rooms were clean, staff couldn't have been more attentive. Menu is enormous. We will be back often.

Authentic and tasty cuisine, served by knowledgeable and extremely friendly staff. We went with a party of 7 and though they'd misplaced our reservation, they accommodated us immediately without complaint. Not a dud among the many dishes ordered. Plentiful servings, so go easy on the appetizers. Some will not like the ex-McDonald's setting, but it works fine. You'll know the... More

We followed much of the advice from TA and this is a wonderful restaurant. We will definitely return. Let me first talk about the positives. The place is well located and large with mostly Hispanic patrons presumably from South America. This added much to the ambiance. It was crowded but no one needed to wait for tables. The servers were... More

I've been putting off writing this review for quite a while. Why? Because I was embarrassed that I ordered the fried rice here and it tasted terrible. One of Jose Garces' restaurants in Philly serves Peruvian/Cantonese food and the fried rice there is good, so I thought I would see what a supposedly authentic Peruvian joint would serve. Bad idea.... More

What a great menu, all authentic, all great testing. They are not located in the best part of town and the "former" McDonalds may fool you, but inside is a nice Peruvian decor, friendly waiters and delicious food. Highly recommended.

Don't let the fast food (McDonalds) appearence fool, you, go inside to a warm comfortable environment where they have put in regular tables and chairs, with bright festive tablecloths and wall decorations. I ordered off the prix fixe lunch menu and had the Ocopa, sliced boiled potatoes with a peanut butter/mint sauce, very tasty and heavy on neither the peanut... More

We found Cora Cora because another restaurant we were searching for was out of business. In an old fast food place cleverly decorated inside with lots of Peruvian items. The staff is very Peruvian. Ceviche great, paella quite good, lots of very interesting (but not intimidating) other items. Small but quite decent wine list. Good desserts. If we lived anywhere... More
