First time here and the food was good. Had the marine boat which was decent. The Arroz De Marisco was our favorite out of the three. Orders the mango margarita and it was good but a lot of mango and not as much margarita flavor. Overall recommend

Fantastic tacos! Almost like eating street tacos in Mexico
Heard about this place and decided to make a reservation for lunch. My wife and I went and we were seated quickly.
We ordered drinks. Although they were out of the first 2 beers I asked for,the one she recommended was very good, even for a seltzer. Was not impressed by the food though. Decent portions but the prices are high for what the food actually tastes like. Too smokey and somewhat burnt wet the major flavors in the filet mignon dish I ordered. My wife couldn't eat it so I tried with little success. Service was good but if you go I recommend only getting appetizers and drinks.

The food is delicious. However, the waitress made my friends and I feel as if we didn't belong there. We received our appetizers and we were being asked if we were ready to order our meal. My order was wrong when I received it. When we received our meals , five minutes later we were asked if we needed boxes for our meals. Very unwelcoming.

Ordered take out. It was ready in 45 on a Monday night. Absolutely delicious everything we received. So refreshing to have such good food! I highly recommend the beef empanada. Definitely stop by. My husband said the octopus was immaculately tender he didn’t even need a knife.

Food was absolutely fantastic. Had a Filet mignon dish that was out of this world. Octopus appetizer also was delicious. We had a large party of 9 with children and everyone enjoyed their food. Long Island Iced Tea hit the spot too. There was a few hiccups with our orders but Stephanie the manager did her best to rectify the problem. The waitress had only been there a couple of weeks and she had a very pleasant personality so I will not give any demerits for the couple of issues with our order. If ever in Bristol I highly recommend a visit. A very diverse menu with plenty of options that should please all in your party. I definitely will be back.

I have never had such amazing food in my life! My Fiancée and I went here on a whim and it is now our favorite restaurant. The pisco sour was fantastic, the ceviche classico was outstanding, the lomo saltado and bistec a lo pobre was out of this world. Best beef I have ever had and my Fiancée said it was the best beef she has had in America. I am writing this review 3 hours after eating there and my mouth is still watering. The music selection was outstanding too!!!

I had the Salmon AL Pisco- very good. And loved their margarita special that night!! It might seem expensive, but everything was of high quality. It was my favorite meal in Bristol. Would go again and try the Mexican food.

Pisco & Tequila is an absolute gem! Incredibly delicious food, fun atmosphere, friendly staff. It’s a real find.
The menu has both Peruvian and Mexican dishes. All of the dishes we’ve tried from both have been fantastic. The Peruvian dishes are especially delectable, as good if not better than any on the west coast. Beef Anticuchos appetizer can serve as a light meal. Marinated and seared beef chunks served with blue potatoes and Peruvian corn. Pollado are two chicken thighs, marinated in an exotic mixture of herbs and spices. It’s fabulous, you’ll never look at chicken thighs the same way again! Loma Soltado is deliciously marinated and herbed beef chunks, similar to the Anticuchos appetizer. For side dishes consider the Chaufa Rice, stir fried with green onions and a dizzying mix of ginger and garlic, not at all greasy, just perfectly done.
On the Mexican side the enchiladas are top quality, rich, flavorful, with a side of red rice and excellent quality beans (not the usual paste stuff). On a recent visit a friend from Arizona, home of plenty of great renowned Mexican food, pronounced the Fajitas as the best she’s ever had.
New owners recently took over the restaurant and the menu has grown substantially. There are many new items on it we can’t wait to try!
The drink menu is equally fun and impressive. A long list of mixed drinks, cocktails, margaritas, as well as draft and bottled beers and wines. On a recent visit there were several Peruvian artisanal beers available. The two hard-core beer geeks at the table found them genuinely delicious. A ‘Scottish Export Ale’ tasted like an incredibly smooth, rich, malty lager, without a hint of bitterness or aftertaste.
The atmosphere is fun, colorful murals on the walls, also with some outside seating overlooking the water.
Overall Pisco & Tequila is a treasure. It’s hard to find Peruvian food anywhere in New England, let alone superb quality like this. It also happens to have the best Mexican food outside of the major cities. It’s a surprising find in little out-of-the-way Bristol RI. If this restaurant was in Boston it would be mobbed every night.

The food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend the arroz con pollo, empanadas, and tres leches. Some of the best food in the east bay that we’ve tried so far! Looking forward to coming back to try more.
