Crab Causa!!
Gerry L.

Peruvian restaurants have really became more mainstream in the last ten years in the 305. It also very competitive and recently we decided to try a new joint called Taipa located off 57 ave and Bird Road. The exterior has a nice earthy and modern feel and the menu contains all the classic Peruvian dishes. For starters we ordered their crab causa topped with sliced avocados. The causa was really good and unique because they blow torch the sides which gave it a smokey taste. For the main entree we ordered their grilled seafood platter with a side of Yuca and their huancaina sauce. The seafood consist of large octopus tentacles, calamari rings, and mussels all very fresh and flavorful. The yuca was lightly fried and crunchy. For dessert we order their picarones (fried Peruvian donuts), which was delicious and crispy. We really enjoyed our meal and looking forward to dine there again.

Tigre Nikkei Roll
Tricia K.

My friend choose this place because her Peruvian coworker said it was the best Peruvian restaurant in Miami. I started with a lemonade and my friend had a pisco sour. We shared a Ceviche Clasico with corvina. The fish was a little fishy but my friend liked it. I ordered the Tigre Nikkei sushi roll as my meal. I could only eat half. It was delicious! My friend had the Sudado de Pescado, which she enjoyed. Overall the food and the service were great! Will be back to try other dishes.

Lomo Saltado
Salvador G.

So far this is one of the better better Peruvian restaurants. Good portion and nice place with good service. I judge by the most common dish lomo saltado and it was tasty.

Very nice dining room

Wow nice , and brand new. I just got here for the first time and I am very impressed with the service the food and the prices. A much needed change to the pizza and sushi here , the desserts are unbelievable and so is their food. And you can actually hear each other talking because the music is not blasting like in most restaurants in Miami , I will definitely be coming back.

Awesome local spot with amazing Peruvian food! Everything we tried here was great - I got anticuchos and the lomo saltado with pasta to share. Meat was juicy and make sure to ask for the rocoto sauce for extra spice. Get the sangria as well!

This new Peruvian restaurant is a delight. The vibe is welcoming, bright and open. There's a bar if you'd like to sit and eat, but they only serve beer and wine. No hard liquor. The service here is great, which is surprising for a restaurant that hasn't even been open for 2 months. There weren't many people in the restaurant but the time we arrived was weird and it is a Peruvian restaurant in a Cuban neighborhood. The bathrooms are worth mentioning. Cute decor, cute pics, light and bright. I just had to put this in here. We started with Pilsen Beer as they brought out the plantain chips & traditional crunchy corn to our table. We ordered a mix of different items to taste and share. We ordered a Tuna Tartar. Excellent, although not a traditional tartar. This tartar is made with acevichado sauce, a white sauce that tasted like leche de Tigre from ceviche. Different and delicous. Yuca a la Huancaina - love this dish! Although this dish is made from smashed yucca paste and not a traditional piece of sliced yuca, it was very yummy. The star of the dish though is the Huancaina sauce, it's scrumptious! Causa de Pulpo Anticuchero. Octopus marinated in panca spices and chalaca sauce. Served cold. Very tasty. Vuelve a la Vida. Chopped fish, we chose Corvina, with cilantro, onions & Ceviche juice served in a beautiful glass. This dish is a star!!! So flavorful, so smooth and so very fresh! Conchitas a la parmesana. Baked scallops served in the shell topped with butter and melted parmesan cheese, making this dish mouthwatering. Rocoto Ceviche de Pescado - Corvina. Fresh fish marinated with a blend of creamy red pepper and lime juice, coriander and onions. served with Cancha, glazed sweet potato and Peruvian corn. Absolutely scrumptious. Picarones Desert donuts similar to Cuban buñuelos made with almivar and fried like donuts. A sweet, crunchy and very flavorful desert, probably the best desert on the menu. I'm looking forward to coming back here. There are so many items on the menu I still want to try. I definitely recommend this wonderful Peruvian restaurant and encourage you to try them and do the same.

Smoked salmon tiradito.

Smoked salmon tiradito--excellent, with a delicious sauce. The contrast between the smoked salmon and the tangy flavors creates a refreshing taste. The service is excellent; the best part is that the owner serves you personally, just like any other employee , something you don't see in Miami.

Causa

When I first got to the restaurant around 6:15pm it was quiet, just one other table. By the time I left it was packed. I ordered the following. Juice- Chicha Morada, a burst of flavor. 5/5 Appetizer- Chicken Causa, I missed the cue that this was a cold app, but it was fine, just not for me. 4/5 Entree- Mariscos Saltado, this was really good, it came a variety of seafood, I did wish it came with more shrimp. 4/5

Tallarin Verde with Lomo Saltado. Perfect, and we ordered two at our table.

My wife, son (11), and I just had an excellent New Years Eve dinner at this place, which I had tagged in Yelp in recent months. My wife is Peruvian from Arequipa and in the 12 years we've been married she's been a great guide into Peruvian food. We've eaten in Peruvian restaurants in the New York tristate area, in Canada, and now that we live in Florida, lots of places here. I don't know how we didn't try Taipa earlier but we are happy and impressed with the staff, management, decor, and food. My son loves tallarines verdes but usually has a protein side so he chose the lomo saltado accompaniment that also comes with two roasted potatoes. This sounded good when I ordered so I ordered the same. My wife ordered the fried fish, choosing corvina, that comes with leche de tigre, tartar sauce, and fried yucca. We started with papa Huacaina. All of us raved and carried on how delicious the appetizer and meals were. We've been to C.viche 105 often think this is on par or perhaps better. The pesto is very creamy, making it rich and different, and the lomo saltado is flavorful, has top-grade tomatoes and red onions, and was just stellar. The beef was tender, as is proper. From this, and my wife's comments on the leche de tigre and homemade tartar sauce, and the smoothie huacaina sauce on the potato appetizer, it is clear Taipa knows their sauces. Our desserts of lucuma mousse with a crispy chocolate center and my maracuyá mouse on top of sponge cake with a maracuyá gel on top, were perfect. In all, Taipa and their team are amazing. We are coming back.

Maracuyá cake very delicious
Ana V.

Had lunch for the first time at Taipa. We started out sharing the Pulpo a la Parrilla which was so tasty served with potatoes and Peruvian corn. For my main course I had the maracuyá ceviche with corvina and shrimp and lastly we shared a maracuyá cake which was rich tasting but light. I would definitely come again and try other dishes. Our server Alejandro went out of his way to answer all of our questions and gave us great service. The restaurant is spacious and tastefully decorated. There is parking in the lot but it does get pretty full.

It was tart with a slight heat from the chili, with cilantro, thinly sliced red onion, sweet potato, and giant corn - nicely salty. The fish was fresh, and was nicely marinated. The Causa Ganadora was very good - cold mashed potato with Peruvian red pepper, oil, and lime, serviced with panko shrimp with a maracuya sauce. The panko shirmp was lightly crisp. The Lomo Saltado was good, too. The meat was tender, the fries were good, onions, and tomatoes with a side of rice. The Parihuela Acevichada was very tasty, served hot, with corvina, shrimp, squid, and musssels. To drink, I tried the Chicha Morada, with purple corn, pineapple, clove, and cinnamon was good. My server was friendly. It's a small place, with a small bar.

The presentations were all so beautiful. Along with the presentation, the flavors were wonderful - ingredients tasted very fresh and the combination of flavors felt very well thought out. The service was very attentive and they truly take the time to explain some of the history and culture behind their dishes, which is an appreciated touch. I'd highly recommend this spot for an elevated dinner, especially if you are a fan of Peruvian food. This place does a lovely job of honoring it!

I rolled the dice and chose MAYU, a Peruvian restaurant located on the outskirts of Brickell. As soon as we walked into the restaurant the host was super welcoming. We got sat and immediately got greeted by our server ALEXANDER who happened to be a key element in our food experience. Many might overlook his presence as people are trying to look at the menu and figure out what they want to eat, but if you pay close attention the server, he will guide you to the best food experience you will ever encounter. Food we had in order: 1. Ceviche Classico 100/100 ( my husbands rating) 2. Ceviche del barrio 10/10 3. Acevichado roll 10/10 4. Hotate Parma without cream cheese 10/10 5. Pulpo anticuchero 10/10 (the octopus was so tender and delicious 6. Lomo saltado 10/10 ( amazing tender meat) must have !! Just as we were getting ready to leave we met Santiago, the manager and I asked him, "Why don't you have a Michelin star?!?!?" My mind was blown by how delicious and beautiful this food was. I wish them the best. This is truly a place to come and enjoy amazing Peruvian food. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. If you're a local here, DO NOT WALK PAST THIS ESTABLISHMENT. A special thanks to Alexander who made our experience amazing by explaining every dish and making us feel as if we were dining at his home. Would love a MAYU in LA.

Amazing Happy Hour menu and strong tasty drinks. Sushi tasted fresh and the sliders were amazing…read more The staff were also very attentive and knowledgeable.

I usually approach fusion restaurants with a healthy amount of skepticism. Too often, they feel…read morelike culinary speed dating, two cuisines forced together in the hope that chemistry magically appears. More often than not, one side dominates, the other disappears, and everybody loses. At Amazonia, a Japanese-Peruvian restaurant in Miami, that fear evaporates somewhere around the first bite. The opening argument came in the form of Gyoza Huancaína, pan-fried dumplings stuffed with lomo saltado and served with a vivid yellow huancaína sauce. It is the kind of dish that sounds gimmicky when described aloud. Then you eat it. The dumplings delivered deep savory notes from the beef, while the creamy sauce added brightness, spice, and richness. It felt less like a fusion experiment and more like a dish that had always existed. Four dumplings arrived on the plate. Four was not enough. My entrée, the Midori Risotto, continued the conversation between Japan and Peru. A strikingly green risotto made with kale and edamame arrived topped with grilled shrimp, microgreens, and dots of black garlic aioli. The rice was cooked properly, retaining a slight bite, while the edamame added texture and sweetness. The shrimp brought balance to the richness, and the black garlic aioli quietly tied everything together. It was a dish that managed to be both comforting and elegant. To drink, I ordered the Nikkei Lemonade, a blend of yuzu, Peruvian ginger, and huacatay. Bright, citrusy, and refreshing, it reset the palate after each bite and served as a reminder that the fusion extends beyond the food. My wife chose the braised short rib, a dish for diners who may not be ready to take the full leap into the restaurant's more adventurous offerings. Braised for 72 hours and served over mashed potatoes, it collapsed under the gentlest pressure from a fork. The beef was intensely flavorful, and the braising liquid was rich enough to make you consider asking for a spoon. Dessert brought one final East-meets-West moment. The Flan Nikkei paired a silky custard with miso caramel, whipped cream, and fresh strawberry. The miso added just enough savory depth to keep the sweetness from becoming predictable. It was a thoughtful ending to a meal built on thoughtful combinations. Amazonia succeeds because it understands something many fusion restaurants do not. Combining cuisines is not about piling flavors on top of one another. It is about finding where they naturally intersect. Here, Japanese precision and Peruvian boldness meet in the middle, and both emerge better for it. Fusion rarely wins me over, but Amazonia makes a compelling case for keeping an open mind.
