OMG. Pisco and Tequila provides the Peruvian cuisine experience you've been looking for, and it can be found in Bristol, RI. At first glance, it looks like a typical restaurant, but once you walk inside you see it's a little oasis. The decor is unmatched---colorful and vibrant. Every detail is thought out and tasteful. It is a very inviting space that you will want to come back to. Alberto and Sebastian were the perfect dynamic duo of server and bartender. They were so friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed our time with them. They were personable, cared about our experience, and were proud of the restaurant. We were so thankful to have them to take care of us. The beverages were stunning, and tasted amazing. We loved them all! The cute glasses and flowers were quite the added touch! Our apps and food were all delicious! The desserts blew us away as well. This was a great restaurant, and we can't wait to get back to try more :) read more

Service was awful for our party of 4. First, we sat there for 15 min with no service. Apps came out with no drinks 45 minutes later. We were almost done with our apps when drinks came out. Waitress said the ticket got lost... the worst part was tables which were seated after us kept getting drinks and food before us. The only positive was the food was tasty. Also the music was too loud. We will not be back. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. The appetizer, Pulpo Al Grill, was perfectly cooked and the seasoning gave it a robust flavor .our dishes, Arroz con Marisco and Salmon Al Pisco, both were as good. The salmon was so tender and the sauce was so delicious. The server, Estuardo gave very attentive and engaging service. Even giving suggestions, which turned out perfect. We,ve dined in the Newport area for 4 years, we've also had the pleasure of traveling to Italy, Belgium, France and Greece. My wife said this one of the the most memorable dining experiences she's ever had. read more

Always amazing! Nice bar tender and the salmon was delicious! That's why we keep coming back!

I've heard nothing but amazing things about Pisco and Tequila and finally made it in with a friend and wow, it absolutely lived up to the hype. The vibe and décor are gorgeous and Alberto and Sebastian truly tied the whole experience together with their welcoming energy. We tried three delicious cocktails served in the most fun glasses and the chef himself offered personalized recommendations for appetizers. Every dish was incredible. We loved it all and even left with leftovers because the portions were so generous. I can't wait to come back and explore more of this delicious Peruvian goodness! read more

Food was OUTSTANDING! The ambiance was lively, great music, and the staff friendly and attentive. The Mock Mule was delicious, and the Filet Minon Limo was cooked to perfection and couldn't have asked for better flavor, and at a great price. I'm coming back again, can't wait! read more

I've been here twice now and both times were perfect. The service is incredible and the food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend going outside of your comfort zone and trying some of the Peruvian dishes. We went with everything the waiter recommended and it was all delicious. Our friends got the 'classic' Mexican food (I.e., fajitas), which was very good as well, but the Peruvian dishes were a bit more unique to this area and equally as delicious. read more

Got this place through ubereats and now it's making me intrigued to go in person! Would definitely recommend the beef dish, but wish there was more of the orange sauce!!! Chimichurri was great but that sauce?? Need more!!! The fried fish is great, but you definitely need some sauce or more of the onions to really get some taste. The kids pollo dish is like having some healthy Chick-fil-A nuggets and the fries are delicious. Overall, food is decent but a bit overpriced. I'm ready to go in person to give them another try! read more

Have the quinoa salad with shrimp! Healthy, yet substantial and so very packed with flavor. The quinoa has that same addictive lime sauce that you find in cerviche with a perfect crunch. The grilled shrimp had a unique blend of spices that gave them a punch but without heat. The lime margarita rounded things out for a lovely late afternoon with Bristol Harbor in the background. Looking forward to hanging here in the summer! read more

Recently visited for apps and drinks. The margs were lovely and came in cute cups and were generous pours. The guac was good but the chips were a bit oily. It wasn't very busy but it still took a while to get food and drinks. Miguel and Sebastian, our servers, were very kind! read more

Best ceviche & salmon I've had in 2025 this food was shockingly fantastic despite how much my family and friends already told me about how great it was! read more

We tried this restaurant based on a recommendation from a friend, and we were impressed. It is a nicely appointed space with ample space and a decent-sized bar. Our server promptly sat us and spent much time explaining their menu. We started with some drinks (margaritas) and they were great. I had two which was not a good idea because they were strong but not overpowering. They were super flavorful. We had the guacamole and chips to start. The guacamole was freshly made and excellent, as were the chips served with it. The portion is small, so we ordered two for four people. Most people went with enchiladas for dinner, but I ventured out and tried a steak dish with a sunny side egg, french fries, and rice. It had a fabulous sauce as well. I can't say enough about the food, drinks, and service. I usually add photos, but I was too busy enjoying the food. Give this place a try for sure read more

Really good food, ambience, service. Kind of loud. Margaritas a little pricey. Overall a great find!

I really enjoyed this place! The location is prime, but still has plenty of parking. That already is worth its weight in gold. The service was super friendly, and they were even excited to know that we had had Peruvian food before. We had the chaufa and the papas relenas, along with some tacos. Everything was super fresh and delicious. The bar is beautiful, and I would definitely recommend coming out for some drinks. Bathroom was super clean. The wall art is gorgeous. read more

What a little gem. Food was excellent. Great ambience and decor .cant wait to go back !

Plus- Empanada was delicious. Drink was spectacular and greatly presented. Guacamole was phenomenal. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Could use a little help- not a great fan of the beans, chicken can use some Mexican seasoning Overall great experience, bartender and server were great. Music at a great pleasant volume and cleanliness of the place and bathroom top notch. Would give another shot for sure. read more

Our whole experience was so much fun. The bar drinks are awesome. My peach margarita in a piñata cup was one of the best I ever had. We ordered two different boats and had so much variety of food for five of us to try. We loved it all. If I had to pick a favorite, for me, it was probably the paella. A group was in there for a birthday and the servers made it so much fun. They also were very attentive to the toddler that was in our group. I would highly recommend the experience here. We were on a weeknight I would expect it gets pretty crowded. The servers were amazing. I don't know if they take reservations, but if they do, I would make one. read more

New Peruvian spot in Bristol! I'm glad this place opened up. Love the ambiance. We got the filet mignon limeno and the salmon pisco. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and was easily one of the best steaks I've had in a while. The chimichurri and plantains were delicious. The salmon was also quite good and paired well with the sauce. I got a side of chaufa rice, which was ok, but the fried yucca was very good. Bit pricey, but the portion sizes were big. I loved my pisco sour. It was a great experience overall. The service was good. read more

Four of us came in for something to eat after having attended a gallery opening on the same street, not knowing quite what to expect. The restaurant has a hybrid Peruvian-Mexican menu. The place was quite empty as it was later in the evening. The staff was very welcoming and informative about the food which we knew only the Mexican dishes. Next time we will be more adventurous. We decided on few dishes: guacamole con nachos, flautas, steak burrito, a steak quesadilla and enchiladas verdes. All were tasty. We did not order drinks as we were driving off to other places. Our server, Jackeline, was very pleasant and helpful and attentive. The place is somewhat spare (the 'wooden look') but reasonably comfortable. Some of the artwork - a mural - evoked Latin mythology. The check came to around $20 per head which was reasonable. The dishes were generous helpings and we even took some of it home. I would recommend this place to friends and will return the next time we are in town. read more

Dear Pisco & Tequila Team, I wanted to share my experience from our visit to your restaurant on Thursday night. While the atmosphere and the food are usually wonderful, unfortunately, this visit was less than satisfactory, and I feel it's important to let you know so that improvements can be made. When we arrived, the restaurant was only semi-packed, yet it seemed that only two staff members were running the entire show, including covering the bar and the front door. This situation clearly stretched the staff thin, and unfortunately, it affected the quality of service. Our appetizers took nearly 40 minutes to arrive, which felt like an excessive delay for a restaurant with a relatively small crowd. Additionally, the soup we ordered was so salty that it was inedible. While I appreciate that our waitress was very sweet and took it off the bill, it was disappointing to have such a negative experience with the meal. It seemed that the staff was doing their best, but managing the bar, door, and all tables with just two people was completely unfair to both them and the customers. I genuinely feel for the staff members as they were clearly overwhelmed. Given the circumstances, I'm unsure if I'll be returning. I hope this feedback can help the team better manage staffing levels in the future so that the quality of the experience can match the great potential of your restaurant. read more

Pisco & Tequila is an absolute gem! Incredibly delicious food, fun atmosphere, friendly staff. It's a real find. The menu has both Peruvian and Mexican dishes. All of the dishes we've tried from both have been fantastic. The Peruvian dishes are especially delectable, as good if not better than any on the west coast. Beef Anticuchos appetizer can serve as a light meal. Marinated and seared beef chunks served with blue potatoes and Peruvian corn. Pollado are two chicken thighs, marinated in an exotic mixture of herbs and spices. It's fabulous, you'll never look at chicken thighs the same way again! Loma Soltado is deliciously marinated and herbed beef chunks, similar to the Anticuchos appetizer. For side dishes consider the Chaufa Rice, stir fried with green onions and a dizzying mix of ginger and garlic, not at all greasy, just perfectly done. The entree portions are huge. Bring an appetite! On the Mexican side the enchiladas are top quality, rich, flavorful, with a side of red rice and excellent quality beans (not the usual paste stuff). On a recent visit a friend from Arizona, home of plenty of great renowned Mexican food, pronounced the Fajitas as the best she's ever had. New owners recently took over the restaurant and the menu has grown substantially. There are many new items on it we can't wait to try! The drink menu is equally fun and impressive. A long list of mixed drinks, cocktails, margaritas, as well as draft and bottled beers and wines. On a recent visit there were several Peruvian artisanal beers available. The two hard-core beer geeks at the table found them genuinely delicious. A 'Scottish Export Ale' tasted like an incredibly smooth, rich, malty lager, without a hint of bitterness or aftertaste. The atmosphere is fun, colorful murals on the walls, also with some outside seating overlooking the water. Overall Pisco & Tequila is a treasure. It's hard to find Peruvian food anywhere in New England, let alone superb quality like this. It also happens to have the best Mexican food outside of the major cities. It's a surprising find in little out-of-the-way Bristol RI. If this restaurant was in Boston it would be mobbed every night. read more

A friend and I tried this place for the first time about one week ago as we were driving around looking for a place for dinner. I live fairly close so I should be ashamed to admit this, but I thought it was a new place. When I asked our server how long the restaurant had been open, she said, "About two years". I really need to get out more. I am giving four stars rather than five because the food was FANTASTIC but I do find quite a few menu items overpriced (chaufa/fried rice for $25-33???) We ordered from the Peruvian side of the menu; my friend ordered the salmon al pisco and I ordered the quinoa salad (shared) and shrimp soup/Chupe de Camarones. We both thought the food was stellar- who thought a quinoa salad could be that special! I will mention that they have chicha morada on the beverage menu which I was SO excited to see/have, but the server said they did not have any (I settled for passion fruit juice with a shot of my fav. alcohol- poor me). I will echo other reviewer's comments- ambiance is great (great wall art/mural) and server was great as well. Would I go back... probably. The food really is great, but the prices make it a "special" dinner place, at least in my categorization, so not someplace I would go when I am just craving a dinner out (which apparently I don't do often enough). read more

We were dying to try this place per a few recommendations and we were definitely not let down. The vibe was so friendly and chill and the food was absolutely delicious. Our server Stephanie was so friendly and helpful with menu questions. We had the calamari pisco for an appetizer along with the Pisco sour tinto and peachy margarita drinks, all which were amazing! Our entrees were seasoned to perfection and cooked perfectly! I am so glad we tried this place and will definitely be going back to try another new dish. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and they brought out his dessert while playing Happy Birthday and a sombrero, so fun! read more

Estefanie was our waitress. Great suggestions. The meal was delicious. The margaritas was delicious but dangerous.

So glad to see this new restaurant in Bristol. It offers Peruvian and Mexican food which I love. The interior is very welcoming and the service is excellent.

The food was very good. I ordered a Pisco sour to drink. Very enjoyable. The bar staff was very attentive. For appetizer, we had ceviche traditional which had nice vinegar and saltiness components that accompanied the fresh seafood. Entree was a nicely cooked steak, seasoned Peruvian style. They offered a pirri pirri sauce that added a good flavor and heat without changing everything. Overall, it was a good experience and food was good. For the price of everything, if I came back, it would be for a special occasion or something along that line. read more

Excellent empanadas and shrimp fajitas. Very good service from Sebastian on a very busy night. Over all excellent and unexpected find in Bristol RiI. We will definitely come back. read more

First time at Pisco & Tequila. Very cosy and nice atmosphere inside. Beautiful mural on the wall which was from the previous Mexican restaurant that was here apparently. First of all, as others have said the service is very attentive and warm. Thank you Jackie and Stephanie. We started with the grilled octopus and the fish ceviche. Both were very tasty. The octopus had an incredible chimichuri and spicy aioli sauce. The ceviche was nice and tangy with huge Peruvian corn. Very tasty. We shared an entree of filet mignon chunks with a fettuccine that had a nice creamy sauce. This was also very good with caramelized onions. The sauce in the fettuccine was absolutely silky. We will definitely be back. read more

Went to lunch here with my husband and mother in law and it was phenomenal! I had the filet and it was cooked to perfection and delicious. My husband had the pescado a lo macho and I will definitely order that next time, very yummy, we will definitely be back! read more

Went to Pisco and Tequila with my family that was visiting from Peru, for lunch. The waitress was very nice and accommodating to dietary requests. The food was delicious and with true Peruvian flavors. It tasted home cooked and with care. At the end of the meal, the chef came out and we all clapped, thanked him and congratulated him for the excellent meals he had prepared. The ambiance is elegant and located on the waterfront dining area of Bristol. We were impressed. The dining experience exceeded our expectations. We wish Pisco and Tequila much success!! read more

There were three of us so we decided to get the "Boat"... it was NO WHERE CLOSE TO worth $50. We also ordered a side of fries and plantains. Those did not arrive. We had to ASK AGAIN for the fries. They asked..."oh you wanted those?" The "boat" was supposed to come with quac and pico de gallo. It did not. We had to ask for those again as well. The drinks were also exceptionally OVERPRICED. I will absolutely never return. read more
