Pepe's BBQ - Peruvian Rotisserie

Pepe's BBQ is a beloved Peruvian rotisserie and flame-grilled restaurant located at 977 Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange, New Jersey. Since opening its doors in 2010, this family-owned establishment has been serving authentic Peruvian cuisine with a commitment to traditional cooking methods and bold flavors. What sets Pepe's apart is their famous house-made aji verde – a handcrafted Peruvian green sauce blended from jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro using a secret recipe that has remained unchanged since the restaurant's founding. The kitchen exclusively cooks in beef tallow rather than seed or vegetable oils, honoring the way previous generations prepared food. Their menu features perfectly rotisserie-cooked chicken, flame-grilled beef ribs, picanha, bone-in ribeye, and T-bone steaks, all cooked to order over live fire. Customers can also enjoy classic Peruvian sides like yuca, chicharrón, plantains, empanadas, lomo saltado, and arroz chaufa. The restaurant offers quick pickup in approximately 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy families and professionals. A free bottle of aji verde comes with every rotisserie chicken order, and bottles are available for $8 for home use. With over 15 years in West Orange and thousands of satisfied customers through DoorDash and Uber Eats, Pepe's BBQ continues to be a cornerstone of Peruvian cuisine in Essex County. Catering services are available for events of any size.
