Peruvian Restaurants in Stamford, CT

“All the times I’ve been to Llama Lips, the food has been delicious. Being raised in a Peruvian family and having stayed in Peru several times for vacation months, there are times when one craves the “real” Peruvian flavor. Not that other restaurants are not “good”, it’s just that they don’t “hit the spot” for someone that knows what authentic Peruvian flavor tastes like. Yes the cost to eat here is higher than other fusion restaurants, but it is 100% reasonable when you take into account that they are literally working hard to bring to your table what they would offer you in Peru. Details like, the “cancha salada”the minute you sit down, the specific yellow potato that is used in the Caldo de Gallina, the real “yellow sauce” that’s robust and not watered down by mayonnaise, the “yuyo” (Peruvian seaweed) that dresses the ceviche, and many more things that gives you the real authentic Peruvian flavor. Every time I eat there it’s like I have been transported back to Peru. The fact that they now offer a lunch menu is a total gift. I highly recommend giving at least the lunch menu a try. My only reason for not rating the service a perfect 5 stars is that the wait time for your food to get out during the lunch menu hours (from the menu of the day), can be a little longer than expected. For someone going there to eat lunch during their lunch break, you may be rushed to eat due to the time or have to take it to go. Other than that, the servers are clean, friendly, informative and polite. The space is spotless and the ambiance is great to eat in peace.“

“Great Peruvian restaurant“

“Not many people actually dine-in, rather they do take-out. The food is amazing, and the chefs most certainly know what they're doing. The service is nothing special; they get the job done. The atmosphere in the restaurant itself is rather inadequate. There are not many tables (only about 3-4 parties' worth of tables) and the tables are sometimes flimsy/floppy. But if we're going to talk about the food itself, again, it's amazing.“

“I tried Bistek A Lo Pobre for the first time at this restaurant, and I must say I’m impressed! A hearty meal, perfectly cooked steak with sides that complement the flavors. Plus, they served me bread with a creamy dip as soon as I arrived, which was a nice touch. I’ll definitely stop by again next time I’m in Stamford!“

“Muy buena atención recomendado“

“Great food , excellent service 100% recommended yummy 😋“

“If you really want to taste a good O chicken a la plancha o chicken breast on the grill or in Spanish, Pechuga a la plancha, you must try this place. The frijoles or beans are mad delicious. They have a certain flavor that is rich and delicious. The chicken, also mad delicious with its juice. The salad was great. I highly recommend this place if you happen to be in Stamford, CT. Not too far from downtown.“
