Peruvian Restaurants in San Antonio, TX

“I have been wanting to try this place for some time now after excellent reviews from friends. It exceeded expectations from the well-balanced and delicious cocktails to both cold and hot dishes. For cocktails I tried the Maracuya (welll-balanced, fruit forward but not too sweet) and Club Esmeralda (balanced with fresh herbaceous essence). My husband had the Saltao’ Sour (balanced Mezcal cocktail but not too Smokey with egg white for a nice finish) and Hola Oaxaca (Smokey cocktail balanced with the Orgeat). I recommend trying them all! For food we started with the Nikkei Cebiche which was the highlight of our meal. The fresh Yellow Fin tuna layered with flavors instantly had us ready for a second visit. On to the Piqueos section of the menu where we enjoyed the Yucca Frita, Conchitas a la Parmesana and Anticuchos. Each a warm dish with continued fresh flavors. For our main course we shared the Chaufa (fried rice with pork belly, sausage, egg etc) again layers of flavors and a hearty portion to share. We completed our food journey each with a glass of wine, he a Sauv Blanc from Chile and myself an Albariño. Please come enjoy this lovely gem in Southtown. It’s a unique, one of a kind restaurant in San Antonio. Thank you to the Chef and team for an amazing Sunday lunch experience. We will be back for more.“

“I have to say, the food was excellent. This is what I call great comfort food. It’s wasn’t all flashy, just right for my hunger. The flavors are very earthy, and the sauce was on the gravy side which was really good. The only thing is that I would recommend is order extra meat on your dish because in my opinion, it’s not enough especially for someone like me who loves to have more protein. Either way I love the food. We will definitely be bringing family to try it out. Note: for those with a salty palate, it would ask for some on the side because it’s more earthy than salty.“

“Great food but it was so loud in there with the owner talking to customers at the top of the lungs and 3 to 4 kids screaming with the parents just ignoring them. The food is worth it just bring ear plugs.“

“Excellent buffet. Great hospitality by Chef Waldo. Very kind hearted man. You will enjoy your visit to El Ceviche De Waldito.“
