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!

First time trying Peruvian and wow!! So delicious…read more I got the classic and well loved Pollo Saltado and I honestly had no notes. Huge portions also Cons: The restaurant was super loud and the service didn't go beyond just getting the job done. Overall great spot and I'd definitely go again.

Great Peruvian joint, right here in Downtown Stamford. The vibe is great and the food is delicious…read more This was my second visit to the restaurant and we ordered the Ceviche Sampler to start with. 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.

I walked upstairs to pick up the catering tray we ordered and although I was 2 hours late, It was not ready for us. If I hadn't been waiting 15 minutes for the potatoes, I probably wouldn't have noticed how dirty and hot it was in the restaurant. The bartender handed me two trays and then said there was a third. We were not expecting that much. She did help to bring it to my car though. The papas a la Huancaina were not great and most of them were thrown out. Next time I'll be sure he's calling the right location!

PS: Most of these poorer reviews are related to service. Food is worth it. I have been coming here for years and make sure to visit any time I'm back in Stamford. Without hesitation, Old House is far better than Fiesta. An incredible fusion between Peruvian and Guatemalan cuisine. Whether it's a desayuno tradicional or a lomo/pollo saltado, I highly recommend a bite without the aji amarillo sauce, and then a bite with the sauce. Two different bites, both great!! It's worth asking what sizes you can order for dishes. For example, the lomo and pollo saltado come in two sizes. The smaller is perfect for one person. As it relates to service....yes, a little on the slower as it relates to wait time for food. However, the staff is always friendly, and they make sure to attend you appropriately. Personally, I would be suspicious if the food came out too soon. I look forward to my next visit! Cheers!

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!
