    I've been wanting to try the original Pisco restaurant for some time. We were nearby to the Pisco Express and decided to give it a shot for lunch. They offer lunch specials for $15.99, which comes with an appetizer, entree and a soft drink. We ordered one of those with the ceviche to start and the fried fish with yucca. I have to say the portion sizes on both of these were really disappointing. The dishes were pretty mediocre too. The ceviche only had shaved onions on it with a little sprinkle of inca corn and a tiny slice of sweet potato. The fried fish was basically fish sticks, with two small yucca strips. We also ordered the empanadas for $12, with lomo saltado with cheese. It was okay but nothing that impressive either. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place for Peruvian. It's overpriced and portions are soooo small.

    Had this place for lunch with a friend and immediately had to go check out pisco. Everything is super fresh, service is welcoming, and the decor feels very authentic.

    Octopus and other wiggly sea things. Delicious! @ Pisco Express. Lake Nona, FL

    This is a great hidden gem! Cool place to try if you're looking for something new and exciting. Unfortunately, I cannot comment as to the authenticity but it all seemed very Peruvian legit to the untrained palate. Pisco drinks are great! They also have a couple Peruvian beers to try. The menu is diverse with many exciting things. Our food was excellent! Staff is friendly and very fast. Music is lively and energetic. Plenty of parking. Overall recommended. We will return.

    What a great place! The service, decor, music, and of course the food. All the staff were so friendly and everyone is bilingual which was a plus. We tried a nice variety of things: Piscotenos - crispy dough stuffed with lomo and mozzarella cheese - they taste like cheesesteak egg rolls. Arroz con Mariscos - highly recommend! Lomo Saltado Seco Tacu Tacu lomo saltado Ceviche Drinks we got: Pisco sour Chicha sour Cusquena - Peruvian beer Inka Kola No problem parking. Will definitely be back.

    Needles to say this place open with great expectations. And did not disappoint!!! Pisco Express is located in the lake Nona area. Such a hidden gem in very competitive food and beverage town! The plates were made quickly and the service is impeccable. We were quickly seated and welcomed. We were even offer a stand to hold our belongings. Such a. Vibe. The ambiance is chic and cozy. Nothing like a quick service experience. The place was pretty busy and the smell really caught our attention directly to the kitchen. We promptly ordered our food and the rest is history. Washed it all down with some Peruvian beer. Pilsen. And purple corn juice. Is a classic Peruvian drink! Tried various dishes Causa triple Ceviche de pescado Tallarín saltado de pollo Lomo saltado con fettuccine a la huancaína Anticuchos Pulpo anticuchero Choros a la chalaca Dessert not pictured Passion fruit cheesecake Alfajores All dishes were well made and it was scrumptious meal. We will surely plan a visit again!! Jan C

    Why did it take me this long to try this place? Finally stopped by yesterday and had the most amazing experience. We have been to Pisco before and enjoyed that experience but we actually was surprised that we love it here more!! It is more casual and the food and drinks are just amazing! First our waiter Diego was the best!!! One of the best waiters we have ever had! So attentive and efficient, just an overall amazing person! He suggested us things to try that we would have never ordered. Drinks we had the pisco sour passion fruit To start we got the trilogia de causas: lomo saltado, ceviche, and shrimp. Wow what a way to start! Each sit ontop of what is similar to mash potato. Entree we got the pulpo La brasa and arroz con mariscos, both were absolutely delicious. Octopus was cooked perfectly, the seafood rice dish was so flavorful, it's like a risotto, absolutely delicious. We were full but took home two desserts, the chocolate torte and the flan. The chocolate was the winner!! Overall we had the most amazing time, delicious food and Diego!!!! What more could you want!

Unfortunately, it may be priced out of my frequent favorites, but it would be a great special occasion location.

My daughter ordered her favorite, Lomo Saltado, which she said was delicious with perfectly seasoned beef, rice, and fries.

With that said I hate to say that this place is not the one I would pick to go and "enjoy" some Peruvian food. I ordered the sampler and the Causa the sampler was nice it did not wow me but it was nice. The shrimp is for certain frozen and not made fresh. Now the Causa is something that I was very disappointed in. To me this is a dish that always brought me back to Peru. Unfortunately this Causa did not do it justice. I would give anything chance unless it's just always blant. When it came to service I see people love the service and this is something I looked forward to but I would like to say the waitress was having a bad day. She was rushed and not the friendliest. I love tipping and I pride my self on making people feel good but the obligated 22% was crazy. To sum it up I have a 3 because the sampler made it ok and it was a friends birthday. I am not sure if I'll be back and if I am I'll be very cautious. Can't fully recommend but I would say try it for yourself and hopefully you have a better experience m.

The Lomo Saltado was disappointing. The beef was very chewy, the dish lacked the flavorful sauce I've experienced at other Peruvian restaurants, and overall it was quite dry. I was especially disappointed because I was introducing my mother to Peruvian cuisine for the first time. The service was extremely friendly, but I was surprised that table water wasn't provided and we had to purchase bottled water. The restaurant also has a noticeable smell of frying oil when you walk in, which I personally did not find pleasant. That said, I still encourage people to support this small business and give it a try. That's why I chose to leave 5 stars despite my experience being closer to a 3.

    **Peruvian find -- small on reviews, big on flavor**…read more Only 5 reviews on this place, all 5 stars, but the newest was a year old -- that gap made us hesitant. It was right next to where we were already headed though, so we gave it a shot. Good call, mostly. My wife's Ceviche Clasico was excellent -- fresh fish, bright citrus, and standout sides: sweet corn kernels and sliced sweet potato with an earthy, cinnamon-like seasoning. That dish alone is worth the visit. My jalea (fish, calamari, shrimp, just 4 pieces of yucca) was decent but unremarkable -- I should've ordered a side to go with it. Minor gripe: my sparkling water arrived as just the bottle, no glass or ice. Ambiance was a plus -- clean, spacious, empty at 2pm. We were facing two TVs: one showing a live Peruvian music concert, the other a travel documentary about Peru. Ended up listening to the concert while reading the documentary's subtitles -- an unexpectedly fun combo. Bottom line: get the ceviche. Hoping this place gets the traffic (and reviews) it deserves.
