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!

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...

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.

Whether you eat in, pick up, or have delivery, the quality is consistent and the food is hot and delicious. The food isn't expensive, yet the portions are more than enough for one person (in fact, I usually save half of my meal for the next day and I have a huge appetite). Recommendations include the Lomo Saltado, Carne Asada, Pupusas, and any of the tallarines. To be honest, anything and everything here is good. I've never tried anything from Mi Ranchito that I wouldn't have been happy having for an entire meal. Oh, and don't miss the house chips, rice, and beans. DELICIOUS.

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!

My plate, which was combo #4, had fried rice, chicken, and plantains; it was enough food for two meals, and it only cost $8! Also a big fan of the cheese empanada and the beef empanada ($2.50 each). The tamale ($3.50) was fine; I wasn't as big a fan of it compared to the other food. I wish I had gotten more empanadas instead! When I ordered the delivery, it was early in the morning, so the rotisserie chicken was not ready yet. A woman called me after I placed my order through UberEats and clarified that the rotisserie chicken was not ready yet. However, she said she would separately make some chicken for me in the oven. The chicken was delicious, and I thought it was really thoughtful of her to make chicken especially for me, when she could have easily canceled my order. I am going to order more food from there now. I came to leave this review because I was surprised this place had such little love on Yelp. Definitely get some food from here!
