ABOUT US
The Owners
When owners Edgar and Maria Ayala’s moved to Red Lion, PA from their home country of Peru their dream was to own a Peruvian and Mexican restaurant. They wanted to share these delicious cuisines with their local community. Their goal was to honor the customer by providing the freshest, most delicious, and authentic meal experience possible.
Peruvian Specialties
That dream became a reality on June 17th, 2019 with the help of close family members. They choose the name “Rocoto” because it is the name of a popular chili pepper used in many Peruvian dishes. Rocoto Restaurant offers some of Peru's most classic and favorite dishes including fresh baked empanadas and pollo a la brasa. They encourage patrons to try them all!
A Second Location
In July of 2023, Rocoto proudly opened a second location in the Leader Heights area of York, PA. This location focuses on the delicious flavors of Peru. Stop by and savor Peruvian empanadas, rotisserie chicken, and bowls of other Peruvian favorites.
