When you are the only one in town who serves a particular product , you take that product very seriously .

This is the case of Tasty Peru , which is one of Somerset ’ s newest dining experiences , located in Tradewind Center just a few doors down from Rose ’ s Discount Store .

“ It ’ s a very special flavor ,” said Jeferson Camarena , son of Tasty

Peru owners Richard Galarza and Cynthia De La Cruz .

Tasty Peru specializes in Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken flavored with their unique and original blend of herbs and spices .

This very special flavor isn ’ t from this neck of the woods , either .

In fact , it made its journey of over three thousand miles when Cynthia ’ s extended family brought it from Peru three decades ago .

Jeferson said his family calls that very special flavor The Secret of the Family Yallico .

“ Every Peruvian always has food in their heart ,” said Richard .

The Yallico family is Cynthia ’ s extended family , and they ’ ve initiated and operated successful Peruvian restaurants in various parts of the U . S . over the last few decades , including in areas of New York and New Jersey , especially in Queens , New

York .

These popular eateries include four Pollo Inka restaurants and twenty Pio Pio restaurants .

Richard said members of his wife ’ s extended family who were experienced and involved in the development of the successful restaurants in New York came to Somerset and spent a few weeks helping his family get Tasty Peru started up and on the right track .

“ We appreciate their help
