We went here for the first time yesterday. The atmosphere is great and the restaurant is clean. We tried the empanadas - both regular and gluten free. They were excellent, especially accompanied with the delicious sauces. We enjoyed them so much we left with five boxes of frozen empanadas and three bottles of sauce. I can’t wait to introduce more people to this great restaurant.

Phenomenal empanadas! Much larger and more hearty than La Masa's. Service was great (even double checked with kitchen staff regarding my tree nut allergy). They sell frozen packs for home too!

The drinks and food were amazing. I had never had huancaina sauce before and it was delicious: spicy, creamy, and the perfect complement to my steak and veggies. My pisco sour was also excellent.We were seated at high tops with backless stools that were rather uncomfortable. I would probably order take out often if we lived closer!

While I've only been to Bogota, Colombia, if you want South American ambiance, the quality of the food, drinks, and service at Triciclo make it well worth the price. Great value!Don't get caught up in it being labeled brandy... Prisco is awesome!

This place is amazing. The food was phenomenal, the service was friendly, the atmosphere was cheerful and pleasant. I'd highly recommend giving them a visit if you're in the area. It was just a great overall experience and I hope to be able to go back soon.

All of the food was full of taste and hot which you would think is a given but so often is. Service was great and server was very knowledgeable of the menu. Will try again highly recommend for a Peruvian experience.

Absolutely delicious food and wonderful, prompt service.

While prices might seem expensive, the quality of the drinks and food are extraordinary. Truly worth the expense. Be ready for a treat! We have 2 Jalea Mixta and a Pisco Soar and Mojito Pisco, all perfect! Alfajores are to die for! Service was fantastic.

Flavor is slightly modified comparing to traditional Peruvian food, but still good!(Tartar, chimichurri, spicy sauce are tasteful)The place is cozy. Servers are very attentive also. Not a problem to find park on the street, (I believe they have parking space behind the restaurant.)Kids friendly. I would go back to try their famous empanadas and more.

Damn! This is a steal of a spot for Milwaukee. Having lived in South America for some time and tried different versions of empanadas, this. Is. The. BEST.You have to stop.And if the food ain’t it, we’ll the drinks are pretty good too. They do a staple pisco sour right. Plus they have a bunch of great spin offs.Only thing is that the menu is a bit pricey. But you’re paying for quality.
Had Pisco for the first time, Pisco punch, smooth drink that was fruity and refreshing. Chicken Empanada, with greens. The Empanada was baked and delicious-the greens had a lemony very light dressing. Very filling, but I didn’t stop there-had to try an entree, ordered from the big plate section, ordered Lomo Saltada. Very filling with Chunks of steak, fresh veggies and fettuccine-succulent and delicious.The decor of the restaurant was authentic and very creative. I didn’t get the history of the building, but you can tell it was an older restored building. The front appears to be a renovated garage door, the inside has remnants of old pipes throughout the seating area, and the ceiling reminds me of an old ballroom hall ceiling. Of course, Peru colors are tastefully added to the decor.The service was excellent and the waiter was very helpful with ordering. Will be back-oh, that area of Vliet is being updated-the street is being resurfaced-nice drive to the location.
Vegetarian options: Vegan options are available and listed on menu.
Parking: On street parking on Vliet.

Everything about this place is so fresh and amazing. You can tell that their food is cooked from scratch and with care. Delicious food and incredible service. I asked about allergens for my take home leftovers (my husband is allergic to bell peppers) and our server/the owner was super confident in his response, you could tell everyone knows exactly what goes in to each dish.

A cozy restaurant packed with atmosphere and flavor. The selection of empanadas is impressive and the sauces complement them exceedingly well. Our server was helpful explaining the different dishes and the multitude of juice based alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The Cusqueña Peruvian Lager was delicious. The highlight was the Leche de Tigre with fried shrimp and calamari and fresh tilapia a wonderful ceviche dish.

We really liked the empanadas here. They have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. The ambience is great. We liked the decorations and cleanliness of the place. The staff are very friendly. We had a great chat with the owner. They also sell their empanadas frozen, so you can buy it and bake it at home. We will for sure come back here.
