It wasn't busy and this is a good sized restaurant with plenty of dine in and counter seating and very clean inside this location. They have been open for a month. Menu is very similar to other locations throughout CT. I definitely recommend stopping in to have a bite to eat lunch or dinner.

Lives up to its name-- we ordered here for una fiesta and the food did not disappoint! Our…read morefavorites included the fresh ceviche (even for takeout!), and the tangy-and-mildly-spicy aji sauce, and the papas a la huancaína to round out the meal. Although the meat in the lomo saltado was a bit dry and it could have done without the soggy fries under the bed of rice, nothing that a little aji couldn't solve. Nonetheless, for takeout, it's hard to expect much better. We ordered four dishes for five people and the portions were more than enough; we couldn't finish everything! Just as with their food, the takeout service was superb. The restaurant worked with us to schedule an 11am pickup--right at opening time--so we could get the food in time for our event. Overall, we were impressed by the quality of the food, even as we played the role of food critics. Most notably, the authenticity and richness of the food struck us as a quality to remember. We (hopefully) will be back, maybe for next year's fiesta!

Hidden gem serving Latin American cuisine in Stamford. I've been here for lunch and dinner; the…read moremenus differ slightly, but there are dishes to love in both. The meal always starts out with yummy plantain chips and pico de gallo salsa on the house. They have a variety of delicious-sounding cocktails; I typically get their refreshing red sangria. From their appetizers (in both the lunch and dinner menus), their empanadas are a stand out. The dish comes with three empanada flavors: beef, chicken, and pork. They're cut in half and served with a creamy guajillo pepper sauce. So full of flavor. Another delicious appetizer (only available in the dinner menu) is the "pinchos de churrasco", three grilled skirt steak skewers with chimichurri sauce. In terms of entrees, the "bistec a caballo" (from the lunch menu) is a must-try! It's a skirt steak that comes with caramelized onions and peppers, rice, black beans, sweet plantains, and a fried egg. The "churrasco gaucho" (from the dinner menu) is my other go-to. It consists of a 12 oz grass fed prime NY strip steak served with roasted asparagus, baby gold potatoes, and chimichurri sauce. These entrees are huge; I definitely recommend sharing. For dessert, I've tried their crepes filled with dulce de leche and the tres leches cake, which is topped with guava sorbet. My preference for tres leches cake is for the cake to be very moist, so I found this cake to be on the drier side. The sorbet is quite sweet and tropical, so I wish the tres leches cake came with a different flavor of sorbet, or with the sorbet on the side. The desserts aren't the most impressive part of the meal, but they're still worth trying. Service is fast and I love their interior decoration! The parking lot is quite small, but they have valet parking.

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.

As many times as I've been here I never thought to write a review. Well that changes today!…read more Decor Clean, dim, fairly small/intimate. It's not so small that you can't move around but during peak hours you may be shoulder to shoulder with another party. BUT if you get there at a decent time you should be good with space. Service Everyone is friendly, attentive, and very accommodating. No complaints here. Food No exaggeration, but I can't remember a time when I had a bad order or something that I wouldn't order again. Here are some of my favorite items: Chaufa - fried rice with your choice of protein. Anything from chicken, pork, fish, and steak. They have it all...and it's all good! Fish Chunks - lightly fried, crispy, seasoned perfectly! Lomos - if you're looking for a hearty meal that will either put you to bed (IMMEDIATELY!) or provide you with a leftover meal for the next day...this is it. I highly recommend upgrading to the Cadillac Lomo which uses filet cuts of steak *chefs kiss* Half or Whole Chicken - if you're looking for something simple. Perfectly seasoned, crispy where it needs to be, and not a dry piece to be found! I'll get that with a side of veggies (which are banging) and I'm straight. Pisco Sour - let me say that the sangrias are good but the Pisco Sour is my 100% go to. I can't even really describe it but trust me...it's good! That's all for my recommendations but honestly I don't think you can make a bad pick even if you don't choose something I detailed above. Also, if you decide to dine in they bring you the warm toasted bread with that Aji Sauce that might as well be liquid gold! Misc. Acuario is consistent with great service and an Aji sauce that will change your life. Until next time...

It was not spicy at all, which I believe caters more to the area where they are, it did have a decent flavor. But it was a little dry and like I mentioned above, it needed more seasoning. I did have this delivered through grub hub, in the evening time so maybe that's why. It did come fast, within 30 minutes. Also, even though I ordered through grub hub the price wasn't bad at $17.00 for a large. It was also advertised with plantains, but I didn't get them, not sure if that was an error on GrubHub though, since I didn't physically go in to the restaurant. I would give them another chance. Especially if they could add more seasoning and some type of sauce for extra flavor and to compensate for the dryness.

**UPDATE: 10/12/2024**…read more I am mainly writing this update as I did not get to fully finish this review when I was first writing this, but in hindsight it was probably a good thing I did write an update to begin with. I now have a much clearer understanding what this place should get. But do note that everything I had said in my original review still stands. As ate I more of the Jerk Pork that I had ordered, it was clear to me which food item was keeping this afloat. Thankfully, this was the pork itself, the main part of the course. The vegetables I found you could have gone with or without, and the rice still wasn't really good at all. In fact, when the jerk seasoning from the pork seeped onto the rice, it kind of ruined the rice to be honest. As for the plantains, I can't complain about them, but I also do not have any high praise for them either. in conclusion, the pork was actually pretty tender and is the reason it doesn't get any lower of a rating. In fact, the pork alone almost brought this up to a 3, and this would be a 2 and a half if half-stars were a thing. However, it's not enough to look past the lack of display of business hours, the way the menu is displayed, and even though I did not catch the worst the customer service stories got, I still felt uneasiness from being served in here. It won't be my choice to go out of my way to come here again, but I am thankful to have visited this place once.
