Delicious, homemade Peruvian food is the draw at Llama Lips. The $15 lunch special (I chose chicken…read moresoup and arroz con pollo) was just great. The chicken soup is hearty, it might be thickened with potatos, I'm not sure. Perfect for a chilly, rainy day. And a cilantro/jalapeno/garlic green salsa comes with your meal-- yummm. Arroz con pollo was stewed chicken breast with potatoes and a side of rice cooked in a gently garlicky sauce that was fantastic. I think there were raisins in it too. Only home cooking here, everything from scratch. Finally, tamarind juice with salted tamarind on the rim of the glass. SO good. A great, reasonably priced meal! Worth a stop if you're driving from NY to Boston. Service was smiley and fast.

The place wasn't busy at all--we were actually the only customers at the time, which made for a quiet and relaxed evening. We chose to sit outside since the weather was perfect, and it added a nice touch to the experience. The food was fantastic! The portions were generous, and everything we ordered was full of flavor. The lomo saltado was really good, and both the fried rice and the rotisserie chicken were absolutely delicious--tender, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. If you're into Peruvian food, this is definitely a place to check out. We'll absolutely be coming back again!

The sampler has a variety of Shrimp and Fish Ceviche and all were really good. The Sampler is actually good for 4-5 people as the quantity is pretty generous. Talking about generosity, when our main dishes arrived, there was no way each dish is for one person. The portions are simply huge! We ordered the Lomo and Pollo Saltado and just to mix it in we also ordered the Chicken Chaufa. If I was to pick one dish from them all I would certainly go with the Chaufa as the taste and the way the spices are mixed in with the rice and chicken, it was very tasty. I do need to mention how good their Aji is. Spicy and perfect to go with the bread and the rice.

I want to start with the fact that our food was delicious. We weren't planning on coming here…read moretonight, but walking by, someone sitting in the window had a huge plate of calamari that looked delicious, so we decided to go in, sit at the bar and get some calamari. We walked in and sat at the bar. Andres was very attentive and friendly. we ordered a Pisco Sour and pisco punch and calamari. All good. then my husband decided he wanted ceviche and I ordered chaufa de pollo, and then Tallarines Verdes(to bring home). Our drinks were very good. It took a long time for our food to come because our food was given to someone else. They were apologetic and said they'd give us some special drink pricing. But it was interesting to hear them tell the people next to us that they didn't have to pay for the food that they were accidentally given, even though they sat there and ate the entire thing, while we were the ones waiting and it wasn't even their food! The calamari(although MUCH smaller portion that what we saw at other tables and other people at the bar) and ceviche. the chaufa de pollo were very good. We ate. bit of all and took a lot home. Except my husband ate all of the ceviche... The owner came over and apologized about the wait/error. We got the bill, it was the wrong bill, I told him and he gave us the right one, but no discount or drink special on it... we paid and left. Again food was good, but service from the kitchen was spotty.

Planned for breakfast. They did let us in and we got breakfast. Main doors were locked, got in through a side door on the patio. Only people in the restaurant.

What we did order was pretty good..wasn't what I planned ordering. Really had hoped to get what I actually wanted. I guess I'm too nice, worth the try.

I spat something out and it was a tiny hard rock. Before I went to wash my mouth I felt sand. As I was looking at my empanada after, I found the other half of the rock I bit into. I then saw my tooth was chipped. I couldn't sleep that night from thinking how disgusting this situation was. I called Noches de Columbia when that happened and they only offered one empanada but my trust for them was lost. The second time I called they said how it was just a rock, basically implying that it was not a big deal. They didn't see why I was upset and didn't apologize. The owner got mad at me for being upset about this situation. Both times I've called they weren't professional and instead rude.

The staff were very friendly and they checked in pretty frequently. The food was incredible, very authentic; so much so that the beans made me emotional because they tasted exactly like my grandfather use to make them before he passed away. I would gladly make the 2.5 hour trip to come back and eat again. The prices were very fair for the quality and quantity of food that you get. The steak was clearly fresh and flavorful. Genuinely a 10/10 find. This place is the perfect reason not to judge a book by its cover.

Cinco De Mayo is a small, family-operated restaurant that offers authentic Mexican cuisine. My…read morecoworker recommended this location, mentioning that the Chorizo Tacos were her favorite, so I decided to visit. The establishment is located at the corner of the street, and parking may be limited due to its placement on a one-way street. Fortunately, I was able to find parking nearby. Since this is in Stamford's downtown area, please be prepared for potential parking challenges. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted and asked whether I preferred to dine in or take out. I chose to dine in to experience the ambiance fully. I was informed that I could sit anywhere, and I placed my order: chorizo, Birria, steak, Al Pastor with pineapple, and pork carnitas tacos. My order was served in approximately fifteen minutes. The Chorizo taco was very flavorful and enjoyable, and I agree with my coworker that it was excellent. The Al Pastor taco with pineapple was good, though I found the pineapple flavor could be a bit more pronounced, and I personally would prefer less fat on the meat. The steak taco was tasty but a little dry; the meat was well-cooked and flavorful, but it lacked moisture. The Birria taco was acceptable, with each establishment offering its own unique take; this one used a soft tortilla, whereas I typically enjoy mine with a crunch and served with consommé broth. It was satisfactory but slightly on the dry side. The pork carnitas taco was flavorful and satisfying. Overall, if I return, I would especially recommend the Chorizo tacos, as they stood out to me. The customer service was courteous and attentive, and I appreciate supporting small, family-operated businesses. I would be happy to visit again.
