"Peruvian food is hard to come by in San Antonio, but Leche de Tigre aces both the food and a cool aura for dates and friend nights out. Choclo, a corn with comically large kernels typical for the cuisine, is woven throughout the menu. It’s also served cooked in ceviches—the light, limey classico and the nikkei with tangy ponzu are our favorites—and shows up again fried alongside crackly pork belly. The bachiche is one of the most beautiful dishes on the menu: sashimi scallops in a lake of salty, parmesan-infused leche de tigre contrasts sharp and silky flavors. For more comfort-seeking palates, the wagyu short rib in rich gravy with potatoes and, you guessed it, chaclo, is decadent." - Kris Seavers
