The Llama Queen is a highly acclaimed Peruvian restaurant that has captivated both Peruvian and American diners. The menu features authentic Peruvian dishes like seco de costilla and lomo saltado, as well as the beloved chicha morada, all of which have been praised for their exceptional quality and flavor. The restaurant's commitment to staying true to Peruvian ingredients and culinary traditions has earned it a loyal following, making it a must-visit destination.
Customers describe the dining experience as fun and enjoyable, with a great atmosphere featuring colorful art, live music, and an attractive outdoor patio. The food is praised as delicious, including popular dishes like causa limena, arroz con Mariscos, Anticochus skewers, and the Suspiro de Limeña dessert. The refreshing pisco-based drinks, especially the Maracuya Sour, Chicha Sour, and Pisco Sour, are a highlight for many guests. The appetizers, such as sampler ceviches and quinoa salad with steak, are enjoyed for their flavor, though portions may be large and better suited for sharing. The steak is noted as especially delicious.
The restaurant is also appreciated for its friendly and attentive service, which adds to the overall positive experience. Visitors mention that it can be challenging for seniors without a chair with a back, but seating near the kitchen was a lovely option. As the only Peruvian restaurant in town, it provides a unique culinary experience, though some guests wish there were clearer menu pictures to help make decisions faster. Overall, Llama Queen remains a vibrant spot for authentic Peruvian cuisine.
