San Antonio’s Michelin-Starred and Bib Gourmand Restaurants, Mapped

"The dining room of this Michelin-recommended Southtown jewel is dominated by a peppy tiger mural — an apt backdrop for the brilliant ingredients at the ceviche bar. There’s even more magic in the sprawling backyard lit by floating fish-shaped lanterns. In addition to seafood, the kitchen also whips up rock-solid renditions of other Peruvian classics, such as a pork belly chaufa and rich lomo saltado." - Brandon Watson

The 22 Best San Antonio Restaurants

"This Peruvian restaurant in the Lone Star neighborhood has yet to reach its second anniversary but has already snuggled into San Antonio’s fold. The vibrant cebiche is the specialty, but the menu makes room for beefy lomo saltado, tender pulpo, and one hell of a pisco sour. The Nikkei offerings sing the loudest, especially the yellowfin tataki as lively as the tiger mural behind the bar. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Brandon Watson

Came to celebrate a birthday day and the restaurant truly made it feel like a special day. Nora our server was very kind, and knowledgeable about her recommendations on drinks and the food. The food came out slowly but it was perfect everytime. Every dish was refreshing with the perfect amount of spice. The indoor dining room was pretty loud but it was easy to ignore with everything going on. The michelin bib gourmand was well earned.

The wait staff was wonderful and accommodating. Inside is small so be cognizant of loud conversations. Food was outstanding. Everyone in my party loved their food selections. The dessert was on the tart side. Would definitely return. It was extremely busy for a week night. Great date place or night out with besties A wonderful restaurant to incorporate ethnically diverse foods.

We had an exceptional experience here. Every dish was bursting with flavor—from the freshest, most vibrant ceviche to the beautifully crafted entrées and desserts that were truly out of this world. The standout for me was the pie—honestly, the best I’ve ever had in my life. This charming, intimate spot is perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic evening with someone special. The Peruvian chefs bring incredible skill and soul to their cooking—you can truly taste their passion in every bite.

I’m in San Antonio for work this week, and stopped by Leche De Tigre for dinner tonight: the food was amazing, and the servers were top notch. Everyone was friendly and helpful, directed me to favorite menu items, and seemed to bring me everything I needed before I could even ask. Much love from Montana ❤️

Amazing meal in San Antonio. One of the best ceviches I’ve ever had! The criollo ceviche is a must. We also ordered the anticuchos, pulpo, and the lomo saltado. Then for dessert, we had the passion fruit cheesecake, the flan and the honeycomb ice cream. Very nice ambiance and beautiful outdoor area with greenery. Our server Emily was so kind and helpful.

Ridiculously good. We enjoyed the pisco sours and tried the Nikkei ceviche which was divine. The scallops were so tender and delicious and the flavor and quality of the steak in the lomo saltado was definitely elevated from anything we had in Peru. So good. We also had the yucca fries and the passion fruit cheesecake. We were happy with everything.

Been here too many times to count, but realized I have never left a review. Everything is always 10/10! You will not be disappointed! Flavors so good nobody judges you for slurping your plate. It’s that good. Staff and ambience are added bonuses!

The most delicious place for ceviche and drinks! I love all their different appetizers. This is truly my favorite place to go to when I am craving ceviche. The atmosphere is great! I recommend to reserve ahead of time because it is always busy. I reserved and still have to wait 10-15mins, but it’s worth it!

This is a cute little restaurant in Southtown. We originally made a reservation for the front patio but they veered us to their greenhouse in the back when we checked in because it was much nicer and it did not disappoint. The inside was nice but def take advantage of their outdoor space if possible. Food was phenomenal in taste and presentation (see photos). Recommend doing it family style. You cannot go wrong with any of your choices from their ceviches, tartare to their entrees. Each has their own flavor profile that just melds nicely together. I got the maracuya drink which is passion fruit based Pisco. Thoroughly enjoyed it and is refreshing on a hot night. They have a lot more options that I would like to try in the future. They offer a 5% discount on food for military

Cute restaurant in Southtown area with a really nice ambience. The patio was very aesthetic and comfortable despite us coming at peak heat times. The menu is extensive with a lot of options. My friends and I ordered a variety of food after getting plenty of recommendations from our server. The food was expensive, not really worth it for vegetarians but definitely great for meat dishes. The service however could use some improvement. My friends' food came out 30 minutes later even after we requested for the food multiple times. Similarity we asked for condiments multiple times before we were able to get them. Completely understand that restaurants can be understaffed however we came around 2 pm or so over the weekend and it was pretty empty. 3 stars mainly for the service - however this place is definitely perfect for a special celebration or date night! Definitely a unique restaurant in San Antonio

The food was truly incredible, one of a kind, at least for me. Every dish distinguished itself and was fantastic. Someone asked me what the lomo Saltado was called, I was hesitant to explain it's a pretty standard Peruvian dish but if you expect it to taste as good as this elsewhere it will not happen. The ceviches were all excellent as well as the drinks. The service was a bit hot and cold, it felt like they fell asleep for portions and was not particularly friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and indie.

A couple people mentioned this place to me recently as a good date spot, so I booked a table in something called The Greenhouse. Unfortunately it was overbooked so I didn't get to see what that was all about. Bet it was pretty cool... Beautiful food. Every flavor was intense. Every single option looked good. Every staff member was descriptive and positive. Saw these little sweet potato doughnuts going around but I guess they ran out by the time we got to dessert. A real bummer. I'm coming back for those little bastards

Oh my gosh... I'd wanted to come here forever and had the best experience when I finally did! From the second I walked up onto the front steps, the staff was so attentive from the host to the bar staff and our wonderful server. I was seated right away at the bar. The interior was so cute and perfectly decorated. I can't rave enough about how friendly and attentive service was throughout my entire experience. Our server gave wonderful recommendations. The food and cocktails were fantastic! Pro tip: order ALL of the happy hour items! Can't go wrong. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Moved from DC to San Antonio and was on a mission to find the best ceviche (comparable to our favorite spot in DC - Pisco y Nazca), and I think we found a winner. Also, I should preface they have a great restaurant week deal, but we couldn't steer clear of the ceviche menu. Ceviche - we had the Carretillero (spicy) and Chalaco (spiciest on the list). Both were incredible and hit home for us, so much that we ordered another round of the Chalaco Drinks - we ordered the No Me Olivides (Mezcal) & Please Enjoy (Gin) - both were yummy and would order again I loved the interior decor of the restaurant - very vibey. Seating is limited, but they do accept reservations and looked to have plenty of outdoor seating options. Our waiter was very attentive and offered a lot of great menu recommendations. I thought prices seemed high for SA (more expensive than our DC Peruvian fav), but we came to an agreement it was one of its kind in the area. We already can't wait to get back and try more on the menu, hoping for another great experience.

Dined here this past weekend and left incredibly satisfied and happy :) There's such a cozy and comfortable feeling inside this restaurant. Everything we tried was fantastic starting with the classic ceviche, short rib skewers, Nikkei tostada, pulpo and the fried rice. The drinks were quite good and they even had some interesting orange wines that you could order by the glass! Service was fantastic and friendly. Keep up the great work guys!!!

The food was amazing and the service was great. Our server did a wonderful job with explaining the menu and making reservations. The dining area was a little cramped but the experience was wonderful. I really enjoyed trying a variety of new dishes and sharing the experience with our party. Overall it was a wonderful experience for my first taste of Peruvian food.

Ok, we just got back from 4.5 months in Spain and this was our first place to go out to downtown after arriving back. Wow, WOW WOW! We ordered three apps and were magical! Explosion of flavors! Some may find it pricey, but we don't mind, when you depart the restaurant and walk to the car your mouth and taste buds are still "going on" Get this, service, spot on! You can tell they are proud of the food... When they explain the menu.

Leche De Tigre is easily one of my favorite restaurants in San Antonio. It is a ceviche restaurant with the cutest, vibey atmosphere with a pisco bar! My friends and I came on a weekend and made a reservation in advance so we didn't wait at all to get seated. The restaurant? All the vibes. The service? So helpful and attentive! We had lots of questions because it was most of our first times there and our server was super patient. As for the food, absolutely divine!! We got the bachiche, the nikkei, and lomo saltado. We all agreed that we liked the bachiche the most! Every bite of it was a flavor explosion. I will say that it was on the saltier side because of the capers. Nikkei was tangy but good! And the lomo saltado had tender pieces of beef and was served with a side of rice. The portion of rice that they give is rather small. That might just be the Asian in me talking though! We ordered an extra side of rice. We also ordered several cocktails to try. We tried the pisco sour, maracuya, and the please enjoy. All fantastic and recommended by our lovely server. Their prices are on the mid to higher end of the price range. That being said I can't wait to come back for their happy hour! They have an adorable greenhouse and patio area that I'd love to hang out in the next time I'm here.

1st timers at leche de Tigre & they sat my party of 2 without a reservation. Food was delicious and flavorful. Tried 4 different plates & each one of them were so good. We also had 2 drinks. Service was on point. The food was pricy but it was definitely worth it ! Would definitely come back to try something different.

If you are open to trying new flavors this restaurant is for you! Layers of Peruvian flavor. It's a cute spot with a Parking lot on the street. It did take 30 minutes for drinks but the food made it worth it! What I had: CARRETILLERO CEVICHE ( next time I'm ordering two bowls because it had multiple layers of flavor & textures very yummy) YUCCA FRIES

My husband and I love this place. Their cebiches and service are incredible. Only thing is the wine list really needs to be updated. This is our 3rd time here and every time we've come across the same issue, not having a wine we wanted by the bottle or glass. That's all, other than that keep up the good work!

Absolute delight to experience this restaurant. I highly encourage you to review the menu prior to going because it can be a little overwhelming for a first timer. The food was delicious! Amazing food that packed a burst of flavor when you took your first bite! The drinks were amazing as well. Limited menu which is perfect because you don't spend a lot of time looking at the drink menu that you take too long to look at the food menu. There was ONLY one petty complaint that I have and only because I am such a foodie that I tend want great service at higher end restaurants. Not that there was anything wrong with the service, but it just wasn't what I expected for that type of restaurant. Petty, I know but it is what it is. Otherwise, a must try!

If you're looking for a new date night spot, this is the place. The aesthetic, the drinks, the food and music. Everything was perfect for our date night here. It is Peruvian based so the food is different. The taste of the food is very unique. I loved it so much the Yuka Frita was the best I've had and I've had a few from different restaurants. Everything was so good. We are definitely coming back for another date tonight. We had such an amazing server. He did everything so well even explaining the menu to us and the history of the restaurant, also just surprising us with our meals. This place is five stars all around. Also, you can ask to eat in the greenhouse they have very intimate and very romantic.

Leche de Tigre offers flavors of Peru on shareable plates. We enjoyed the fresh air of the patio, but there is indoor seating as well. Our server helped explain the menu, starting with the cebiches. She also helped us identify which were sharing-size plates (piqueos) and which were entreé-sized (fuertes). The Nikkei cebiche is full of contrasting flavors and textures, from the tender fish and avocado to the crunchy sweet potatoes and cucumbers. The fried seafood of the jalea plate comes in a variety of shapes: tubes and tentacles of calamari, squares of fish, and circles of shrimp. They all tasted great in the tangy tarter sauce. Lomo saltado is a twist on meat and potatoes. The beef cubes are seared outside. The Andean potatoes have crisp coatings and tender interiors. Tomatoes, red onions, and scallions add freshness. The patio has a lively atmosphere with flowing conversation, and is great for groups.

I was browsing for locations to eat Peruvian food and came across this restaurant on Yelp, but I wasn't sure. I got there and was greeted the moment I stepped in! The service was excellent, and the staff was attentive to your needs. I'm Peruvian, and I know my own food. All the flavors hit me and made me feel at home. The atmosphere was inviting. I will return and thank you Santi for the amazing experience.

Absolutely amazing! I visited Leche De Tigre after hearing many, MANY great things. It is an absolute stunner! The restaurant has a very fresh vibe that makes you forget you are in San Antonio. The food is extremely tasty, and the drinks are refreshing. The service is very attentive and friendly. They can help answer any questions you may have and guide you into picking the perfect meal for you. I 100% guarantee you make the drive to Southtown and try this place out. You won't regret it!

Super delicious and tasty. I've never had Peruvian food in my life and I'm happy that I tried it for the first time here. The managers make you feel very welcomed and overall the perfect dining experience.

I'm normally a Yelp creeper, not one to write many reviews, but this place always blows the roof off of my expectations so hard that I had to do something about it. My wife and I have been to Leche de Tigre at least half a dozen times and have enjoyed every bite we've had so far. Last night was no exception! When we arrived, the hostess kindly offered us a solo table since one had opened up since making our reso. We love a conscious queen! Our server, Miguel, made some great recs and suggested a FANTASTIC tuna tostada app to pair with our cebiche starter and lomo saltado main. I'm a mezcal deviant and enjoyed a Hola Oaxaca cocktail to start, while my wife went for a Please Enjoy--both were delectably complex and well-balanced, quite a feat given how lively the place was and how busy the bar must have been. The Carretillero cebiche was spicy, saucy, and SEXY if I do say so myself. Building bites of the divided ingredients was a little work but a lot of fun as we traded between bass, shrimp, calamari or a blend of a few. Miguel noticed our approval and suggested finishing off the sauce by drinking straight from the bowl--little did he know we were a few steps ahead of him... The lomo saltado was...absolutely out of this world! The potatoes were airy and crunchy, beef was somehow perfectly roasted on the outside and yet rare, and the sauce, again, did its best to steal the show. I'm just now remembering that we ended up taking some home and am not-so-secretly hoping my wife hasn't already finished it off... Huge props to the Leche de Tigre team--thank yall for bringing such fun and delicious cuisine to the horizons of San Antonio's culinary culture. Until next time!

I hace been wanting to take my husband here but it's very hard to get a reservation. Luckily yesterday that wasn't an issue and we booked a table. I've been here several times and always get the Niekki ceviche, it's delicious and my favorite menu item. Another hit is the lomo saltado which I ordered for him and he woke up the next day saying he wants more, safe to say he really enjoyed it. This night I tried a new menu item the Jalea, very yummy and a great appetizer to share. Always make a reservation, free parking can be tricky but there is a pay lot next door.

Top tier restaurant, and a beautiful way to represent Peruvian food in San Antonio. I know the area is lacking when it comes to representing cultures from further away! Leche de Tigre does an amazing job with introducing new fare that you're probably not used to. They use the sweet and sour palette so well! It's especially prominent in one of their drinks (I'm forgetting the name) and the cebiche offerings. They also have quite a bit of seafood on the menu, which I adore so much. Try their pulpo, or octopus! Personally felt like it was the best dish at the restaurant and something you need to get in order to get the full experience. Place is beautiful, make reservations for date night here, you will love it!

Leche de Tigre is an experience - from the beautiful tiger murals, upbeat music to the incredible drinks, food and attentive service. It was such a memorable time and easily THE BEST meal I had during my visit to San Antonio. The happy hour options are a bit hidden in the libation menu but when we found out, we ordered all the happy hour appetizers including the tequeños, yucca frita, ceviche and the jalea. We ordered another spicier ceviche as well. We shared the lomo saltado and the tallarín mains among the 4 of us. Both were incredible, especially the crispy potatoes in the lomo dish. If you like a sharp and tangy dessert, the maracuya cheesecake pie will be a great choice. Drinks wise, we loved the maracuya and the pisco punch the best but you can't go wrong no matter what you choose here. Simply amazing!

I feel that Leche de Tigre is a MUST visit in San Antonio! They create mouthwatering flavorful Peruvian dishes that draw inspiration from Japanese cuisine! They are located in Southtown and have a great indoor and outdoor dining experience! The indoor seating is intimate and limited but there is a huge outdoor space! For parking, there is a small lot next to the restaurant or street parking. They have a variety of cebiches (which are ceviche dishes) and other dishes. We heard the pulpo anticuchero (grilled octopus) was a must try and it was really good! You can taste the umami flavor in their dishes! We got their non alcoholic drinks which were yummy and the service was nice and the waiter answered all of questions perfectly. Definitely try it out if you're looking for something unique in SA

This was a first for us and we loved it. God bless my husband for going outside his comfort zone but he loved it and we plan on going back. Would definitely recommend reservations if you go. The food was amazing and definitely worth trying a little bit of everything. Loved the atmosphere and can't wait to see what it's like in cooler weather.

Overall experience 4/5 stars. My boyfriend and I came for a Friday date night. He had to schedule reservations two weeks in advance to get indoor seating. We got there 10 minutes early for our 7:45 reservation and didn't get seated until 8:20. We were able to get drinks ordered but they took so long that we didn't actually get them until we were seated. Once seated though, everything was excellent. The vibe inside is wonderful, you get to see the pisco bar and ceviche bar in full swing! Our waitress was super helpful in explaining the menu and the smaller plate size style of food. We started off with the yucca fries and choclo. Both delicious and both my boyfriends and I favorite dish of the night was the choclo. Choclo is a Peruvian style corn but this dish was served in a super creamy and flavorful sauce, highly recommend! Next up we got the anticuchos, the short rib was super tender and melted in your mouth! We then got served the carretillero ceviche, which was unique and unlike any ceviche I had tried before with the fried calamari, but wonderful taste. All the ceviches on the menu looked great. We then split the chaufa between the two. At this point we were super full but wanted to try the dessert so ordered the tres leches to go and enjoyed it at home. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back to try more on the menu, but hopefully we do not have to wait as long next time! If you are planning on going on a weekend, also highly recommend making a reservation as we saw a lot of people walk in and get estimated a 1 hour wait.

Made reservations for outside on a Saturday night with a group of friends. We were promptly seated and service was wonderful! They provided excellent recommendations and helped with whatever questions we had. The food was delicious and the tataki was my favorite! The pisco drinks were also wonderful. I'd love to come back and sit at the ceviche bar or pisco bar.

Would definitely take a date. Very cozy space. The service was great. The food was interesting. I would say it is very sauce forward. If you want to taste the original flavors of the oysters, fish etc then this might be a miss for you. However their sauces they are served in are delicious. A little loud for conversation but not terrible.

Loved the interior and decor, but wish the AC was working when I went because it was quite stuffy (even with the potable AC unit they had running). The mural of the tigers is definitely the centerpiece and really pops when you walk inside. Overall, the food was good but not amazing. I was only really impressed by the ceviche (Chalaco)--super fresh and refreshing with huge flavors. The Lomo Saltado was on the saltier side, with the accompanying rice also over seasoned and a bit mushy. The Pulpo Anticuchero was cooked well, but there wasn't much of the octopus in the dish. I would probably come back for happy hour and get the ceviche along with something else. Otherwise, while it is a fantastic restaurant in SA, I wouldn't return to Leche de Tigre for dinner because I do think it is overpriced for the quality (& quantity) of food you get.

One of the best HH in Southtown and a great ambiance to go with it! The modern yet simple design was comforting and classy. The food was delicious, fresh, and made in front of you. You could tell the owners have put their love into making this place an authentic piece of home. Contrary to some reviews, we think the concept of small plates is very common and something we enjoy because you can try a bit of everything. We got 5 dishes and 2 alcoholic drinks for under $60 -- totally worth it. The ceviche was fresh and flavorful, the yucca was cooked perfectly tender, and the jalea was delicious with the side sauce. We also got the tequenos, which were great with the salsa verde sauce. Overall, great experience. The service was great, they were all super helpful and knowledgeable. Check them out!

Came during restaurant week and made a reservation online. We got the testing menu with zero proof wine and cocktails. I love that they had so many zero proof drink options! And I also really loved the octopus item for the appetizer. Unfortunately I found both entrees incredibly salty, to the point where I couldn't finish it. The dessert for the tasting menu was no longer available so they substituted a cake that I really liked

I've been wanting to come here for a while, some ladies from Peru said this restaurant felt like home for them, so I had to try it! This restaurant is located in South town and it is a very cute restaurant, make sure you have a reservation before you visit them. Our server was very nice and she made sure to explain the menu to us since it was her first time, we had to try one of their famous Ceviches , ceviche Nikkei and it was very fresh. I really liked it, we also got the anticuchos and the yucca fries, very very tasty, oh and the mango tres leches cake absolutely amazing! I do have to say that it's a small place but the food it's absolutely amazing and the service is great, definitely a restaurant you must try!

It is a busy place, with high volume music: you can't talk. The poor waitress needed to shout when talking with us. Expensive. The food was not tasty. I has better Peruvian food before. The Yuca was soggy and very spicy. Poor Lomo Saltado.

Danielle K.

Yelp
Amazing food, amazing service. Every single dish we tried was absolutely delicious. Between the two of us we shared a total of 5 dishes: carretillero ceviche, oysters, yucca fries, lomo saltado and pulpo anticuchero. We both really enjoyed the ceviche--I liked that the carretillero included both fish and shrimp with calamari. The portions were the perfect size for the two of us to share. If I had one critique, I just wish they had aji verde for the lomo saltado, but otherwise it truly was a delicious dining experience. They have a small parking lot next to the restaurant, otherwise there's street parking or public parking lots just down the block. We sat indoors, but they also have seating at the ceviche and pisco bars, as well as outdoors--definitely recommend making a reservation to get your preferred seating. Can't wait to come back and try more of their food!

Yesterday, I made reservations to try @lechedetigretx for dinner tonight. I picked the cebiche bar area. Unfortunately, we were on the far end and didn't see the cebiche being made. Dad had the Maracuya (passionfruit) Limeade, I had the Pisco Sour, and my husband had the Pisco Punch. Most of the dishes were shareable. The Chaufa Aeropuerto had Chinese sausage, pork belly, and fried rice. It reminded me of the dish Kiampeng I grew up with in the Philippines. We had the Pulpo Anticuchero, which was grilled octopus. Sadly, the chef was very heavy-handed with the salt on these 2 dishes. 3 stars at best. We had the Nikkei Cebiche and Oysters a la Chalaca. 4 stars. Ramon, our server, steered us correctly recommending the Pie de Maracuya. That was the best of all topped with blueberries. 5 stars. It's located where the former Tutti's A Place for Foodies was.

Bad experience at this place, my partner and I entered the place on a Sunday at noon, we were the only people at the restaurant at that time, we ordered the mixed cebiche and the rice with seafood, simple dishes to make, we wanted the cebiche first, a cebiche takes no more than 5 minutes to make but we waited there for 40 minutes and nothing came out, a table of 8 people arrived 20 minutes after us and they started getting their cebiches 15 minutes later, this is an open kitchen and we were siting right in front of the cooks, they had no respect for us, we just couldn't wait no more so we decided to leave, not recommended

Another great meal for 5 at Leche de Tigre! First, shout out to our server Jade. She made everything flow perfectly! We did it all today with Classic and Nikkei Ceviches, Lomo Saltado, Chufa and Tallarin de Pollo Frito. All were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed everything. Love this restaurant!

This is my new favorite restaurant in town. It also helps that its close by so I can make it to their amazing happy hour. Everything here tastes absolutely fresh and delicious. From the cocktails to the seafood, you cannot go wrong here. Everything I have tried has had me wanting to come back for more. Even their maracuya pie is wonderfully tart and one of the best desserts I've ever had. I have been here a few times already and always receive great service. They are always playing some good music that other places typically don't play and they have really curated a unique dining experience here in SA. I feel like I'm on a vacation far away when I go here. Things i recommend: pisco punch, mezcal margarita, tequeños, any ceviche. Great happy hour specials as well. Make sure to stop by!

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I tried 3 different kinds of meat, chicken, fish and beef and they were all hard to chew and swallow, no flavor, overrated place, horrible parking and expensive for the quality of food, I will never go back.

Great service, reservation was easy enough to get online on a Saturday evening. Tried the nikkei ceviche which was recommended and appeared to be very popular. I love ceviche and it's usually my go-to. This one in particular was slightly salty (in my opinion) but still good and fresh. Pulpo anticuchero was also recommended but I also found the octopus to be over in salt. The potatoes were perfectly crispy. I had high hopes for this restaurant as I love peruvian food but the food did not blow me away. This looks like a family operated business and I will return to support and give it another shot.

A very eclectic dining experience, from the libations to the piqueos to the fuertes (how they name their apps and entrees). I ordered the Please Enjoy and it was a delightful and refreshing cocktail and strong on the gin and mixed well with the raspberry flavors and mint. The piqueo I ordered was the anticucho, which is their short rib and it was the best, flavorful short rib that I have had in a long time! It was the best thing I ate all night. The loma saltado was my fuerte and while it was tasty as well, if I went back I'd ordered two of the short ribs for the same price as both came with tiny potatoes.

Wow, this is one of my new favorite restaurants in San Antonio. I came with my fiancé and we had an amazing experience. Our waiter Jade was so nice and on top of things. She gave me some good recommendations and even brought me a special sauce which I had asked about, but isn't not on the menu. We started with the yuca and I can tell it's fresh not frozen. The put a yellow sauce and purple onions on top which complimented it very nicely. We then got the the Carretillero ceviche and the first bite I took I said "wow". It is so sour and flavorful, finally some food Peruvian ceviche in San Antonio! Our last dish was the Tallarin Saltado, which we also enjoyed. It's extremely flavorful and comes with some fried chicken pieces and noodles. It kind of rates like a Chinese /Peru fusion meal. Don't skip the drinks they were also delicious, I got the Maracuya Chilcano and it was very refreshing. The music they had playing inside was really fun, I found myself dancing and signing while enjoying my meal. This is a great place to come with friends or go on a date like I did.
