"From the same team as the now-closed Llama Kid—and in the same space—Llama Queen is a Peruvian restaurant on East Cesar Chavez in a mostly-outdoor space. On the menu, expect to find the same ceviches and Peruvian classics, plus cocktails, beer, and wine." - Nicolai McCrary

Everything was amazing. The pisco drinks were all amazing but the Piscojito was the best. The papas bravas were pillows soft and crunchy outside. The second de Costilla was so tender and had the best gravy. The Lomo a la huancaina was equally as amazing. That sauce would make anything taste amazing. Definitely will be back. Ambiance was 10 out of 10. Kitchen was super fast getting dishes out and service was friendly and efficient.

Love the Atmosphere here. Even though it’s right on a busy street they have created a Peruvian Oasis. Music makes you wish there was a dance floor. Outdoor bar with drinks shaking. The service is amazing. Staff is super accommodating and interested In knowing your thoughts. The Micro Ceviche was Amazing! 😻 the drinks were on point. We had the Passionfruit Pisco Sour and others. Well balanced and served at great temps. The lomo saltado left more to be desired. While the beef was cooked to perfection there was more rice than anything on the plate. More tomatoes would have been nice. There’s was one cherry tomato on the plate. Portion was small and pricey. We will be back to try other things for sure. Would love to have a party in this space.

We loved coming here for lunch! The patio is nice and shaded with lots of fans, blocking off the view of Caesar Chavez with beautiful Peruvian flags and textiles. We got the causa anticuchera, ceviche classico and pescado a macho. All were so good!! Pisco sour was delicious as well. The service was prompt and welcoming. Pricing was a more high than I expected but we will definitely be coming back.

Llama Queen is such a gem! The food was amazing, and our server Grace made the experience even better. She was super friendly and attentive. If you go, definitely ask to be seated at one of her tables—you won't regret it!

Super friendly service, food came out SO fast, and they even gave a few free samples of their most popular drinks. Ceviche Mixto was fantastic and you have to try the chicha morada drink -it’s made w corn but is sweet and purple

We had a fantastic evening at Llama Queen, enjoying the nice, warm ambiance on the patio, which was not only cozy but also dog-friendly! The service was incredibly attentive, making sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. I ordered the Lomo Saltado, which featured tender filet mignon in a delicious base of soy sauce, cilantro, onions, tomatoes, Andean potatoes, and jasmine rice. My husband opted for the same dish but with chicken instead of filet mignon, and he loved it. For drinks, the Lady Llama cocktail was a perfect choice—refreshing and unique, with a blend of pisco, pomegranate syrup, lime juice, and sparkling rosé. Overall, a great spot for Peruvian cuisine with excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

This amazing restaurant deserves every possible star imagineable! The atmosphere is perfect for a semi-casual summer night date as the music plays and the warm lights dances off the tables. To say the food is delectably spectacular is an understatement to say the least! The Lomo dish is a favorite for good reason and please save room for the suspiro a la limeña as you will not be disappointed with this traditional dessert. I will definitely be back!

I got the risotto de mariscos and it was delicious with large portions though wished it had more of the mussels & clams. The yuca fritas were also so good but the portion was tiny and way too pricy for the amount they serve. Although the portions for the papa bravas were plentiful and tasty. The atmosphere here is really nice with beautiful decors and nice outdoor seating. The staff are sweet and friendly but our server was really slow, tended to other people way more than our table and kept forgetting things that we would ask for. Overall the food here is really good and a bit expensive but worth the $. I will be back to get the risotto again!
