The food, service and ambiance were amazing and authentic. Can't wait to go again when we see up in Denver.

What a fun experience! Don't let the strip mall exterior prevent you from peeking inside. Vibrant colors, clean bright atmosphere and a fun selfie station with Peruvian garb. Pisco sour, Peru's national cocktail was a great way to start the meal with the complimentary cancha (crunchy Peruvian snack made of popped "in" corn kernels). The Pulpo Antichuchero was delicious. Service was excellent. The servers were helpful with the menu and friendly. read more

Really good food! The menu is online, which was very easy to use even though I prefer physical menus. My husband loves potatoes, so I got him the causa and he enjoyed it! It's considered a starter on the menu but my husband had it as his meal haha. Ceviche is my go to when it comes to Peruvian food, and the one here was great! Great portions as well, the spice level was perfect. We also got some chicha morada and that was delicious! I don't think I've been to a restaurant that put a little fruit in it, so having this restaurant do that was really nice and delightful! It was a bit pricey but worth it in my opinion for the amount and quality you get. The service was also great. Servers were very kind and we got our food fairly quickly despite how busy it was. Will definitely come back again multiple times in the future! read more

When we first tried this place it was definitely 5 stars but I tried it again today for lunch and the food quality has decreased. The pork meat tasted a bit off (not very fresh) not well seasoned at all and a little undercooked. The online menu that you scan with your qr code as well as the physical copy of the menu that I asked for did not have prices listed for any of the dishes so there was no way for you to know the price of the dish unless you ask your server. I found this to be odd and a bit of a deceptive move for your customers. I would say definitely go back to seasoning the dishes as when you first opened and list the prices on the menu again (why would they even remove prices? I have only seen this done at super high end places and this is definitely not it) read more

Tonight my daughter and I spontaneously ended up here on a whim while running errands. I tried this food before the owners opened this restaurant. I used to meet up with the owner to buy food from her when she was trying to introduce the Peruvian food to the community about 7-8 years ago. It was neat to know back then this was the ultimate dream and now to see the dream come true was quite neat. From the moment we walked in, the ambience was so welcoming and decorated with such beautiful details. The silverware, napkins, plates and cups were of high quality. The servers were knowledgeable and friendly. They change up their menu often and I can't remember the name of the dishes we ordered but they were both fantastic and full of flavor. My daughter was really looking forward to a pesto pasta dish that we used to get from the owner but it wasn't on the menu so she was a bit bummed when the waitress told us it's only on special occasions. That pesto dish is what got my daughter to love pesto to this day. But, when I started talking to the owner and told her my daughter loves the pasta dish, she had the pesto pasta dish made for my daughter. It was super unexpected and sweet. We were stuffed by then so we just took it home. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area and have never tried and would like to try Peruvian food. The portions are hefty and enough to take home extra. Enjoy! read more

The food was so good!! New small business that is a lovely addition to the Denver area! Authentic Peruvian food that would be hard to find otherwise! Great unique food with variety for everyone. From beef hearts that tasted like premium carne asada to egg fried rice that would please your inner child. Even the non adventurous can get some of the best steak fries and perfectly grilled chicken. Many with a variety of curated sauces for whatever spice level you like. Love it and looking forward to going back! read more

[NOTE: I did not intend to write a negative review, but since Denver has been highlighted to be a city with overpriced restaurants, I decided to give my comments and let other patrons decide.] I took my two adult children here per my son's desire to have Peruvian food. At first glance, no ambience and you have to use your phone to access the menu, which I found annoying. You can expect to pay $30 for an entree. We each ordered different dishes with either top loin steak or beef. My Lomo tasted OK, but the beef was tough and there was way too much pasta & sauce with not enough meat & vegetables. My son ordered a Pisco Sour ($16, pricey) while my daughter & I just had water. Poor service as we had to ask for water refills & for a credit card receipt at the end, which I also found annoying. Our bill included state, county, city & a 'special' tax that amounted to $8 (wow). So while the meal was just so-so, I wish I had overruled my son and gone to a place like Chipotle to get better food for half the price. Live and learn, one and done. read more

The food and beverages here were wonderful. I'll definitely be back. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful, but the app ordering seems to create some confusion. The restaurant is fairly new, so I a sure those kinks will be worked out. It was evident the staff was trying and the food was worth sitting through any confusion. The atmosphere is quite lovely, too. read more

It was soooo delicious! A new favorite for us! We loved all the food and drinks we ordered. We had the Lomo Saltado with a side of fried rice, Ceviche, and Passion Fruit Juice. read more

Good stuff. I really liked this restaurant and the staff.i liked the Pollo a la brasa.

This place is an absolute must to dine at. We came here for our wedding anniversary and the two dishes we had were incredible. We had the Tallarin A La Huancaina and the Lomo Saltido with Top Loin. The flavors were so different but so good! In addition Izzy was an amazing server! Highly recommended. read more

Great neighborhood spot with a wide verity of Peruvian dishes. Feels like home and A must try

It was cute with decor and the food was decent but nothing to write home about. Service was decent. I would just date this place as okay. Nothing great but not terrible. read more

Amazing food, exceptional service, fun atmosphere! I would definitely recommend the red llama for a great dinner!

Great food and fine drinks. Very friendly service and good atmosphere! We will be back.

I decided to give this restaurant a shot for my mother's birthday, we were seated almost immediately(we had a reservation). Our waitress Kali was very kind and accommodating(it was our first time ever having Peruvian food so we didn't know where to start). The little popcorns already offered on the table were nice and tasty, they also give you water for free. For drinks we had a Peruvian beer, a cocktail, passion fruit juice(which was extremely good), and chica morada which was also great. For appetizers we had the Salchipapa and the Tamal, both of which were great. For entrees I personally had the ceviche and it was very good. The birthday girl had the Tallarin a la Huancancia and it was amazing. The rest had the Lomo Saltado dish and it was also very good. We had all of the deserts(we're fatasses I know) and they were AMAZING. The cheesecake was the best I've ever had, it had a passion fruit glaze which was perfect. We also had the Lucuma ice cream, lucuma is supposedly a Peruvian fruit, it is very good and it kinda tastes like maple syrup. The churro was given for free due to the birthday, and it tastes great. By far the best churro I've ever had. The cookie was only okay though in my opinion. The owner of the restaurant was very cool, he told multiple interesting stories after he; and multiple of the other staff sung happy birthday(he also played an interesting Peruvian drum during the happy birthday song). There were only a few issues and they were very small, the restaurant is a bit on the smaller side, and with meh parking. The restaurant was also a little loud, but that was it! Everything else about it was amazing! I seriously recommend it! read more

First time trying The Red Llama and we could not be more impressed! The food was amazing, perfect flavor in each bite, and an abundance of different sauces. There was multiple servers checking on us every few minutes and they went above and beyond to give recommendations and anything we needed. Our appetizer was accidentally taken from the table before we were done, so we mentioned this to the first server who started helping us and she promptly let her manager know. Not only did they offer to let us take ANYTHING on the menu home in return for the error, they also took the original appetizer off our ticket. The only reason we mentioned the error was because the appetizer was so DELICIOUS. The service was absolutely impeccable and we could not be more pleased with our visit. Will definitely be back again soon!! read more

Wanted to try this new place, so we stopped by for lunch. This was one of the most flavorful meals we have had in a very long time! We tried the beef heart dish, please don't let this one scare you, it was amazing!!! We also had the mixed ceviche, also the best we have ever had!!! The employees were so incredibly kind, and provided a lot of information about Peruvian food. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and very clean! We will definitely come back for dinner to try some of their cocktails! read more

What an amazing experience! We had never tried Peruvian food and now I think it is our favorite! Service and food were out of this world!

The Red Llama - Lucuma ice cream !! - Peruvian Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

On the fence as to whether or not we will ever go back. Leaning towards no. Immediately turned off by the fact that there are no prices for any items on their menus. Had to ask the server who then had to check each item that we were interested in to provide us with the pricing. Learned appetizer was $21 and our entree was $27. Ordered the appetizer and chose to share the entree. Told the entree was similar to fajitas. It was, but with virtually no steak in it; just lots of potatoes similar to steak fries, vegetables and spices. Both the appetizer and entrees were good. Just overpriced for a small casual style restaurant in a strip shopping center which is probably why they don't list any of their prices. read more

It's a shame to write this review because this restaurant has potential. The food quality was very good and for that I could have given 5 stars but read on. The service was smothering. It's hard to imagine your server being at your table too much but they did it. And now having experienced it, it's just as bad as the absent server. Then this capped it. We ordered three churos but the server said they were out. So we had coffee and paid our check. Then just before we got up to leave, next table over, three churros show up. It's clear, because we paid our check we weren't offered the churros. Normally I let stuff like this slide but it was so blatant I had to include in the review. read more

I came to this restaurant after visiting their kiosk at Sabor. The place is clean and has a nice decor. All the service staff was very nice. There is no happy hour. I tried the cause acevichada and it was fine. Prices are Ok. Only complaint I have is that they charge for the sauces. read more

Finally a great Peruvian restaurant in Denver! Amazing food, amazing service! Beautiful decoration

We had an excellent dinner here. Food was delicious and fresh. Drinks were perfectly done as well. Great variety. Our server Daniella was phenomenal. She explained everything they offered and her service was top notch. Great experience here. read more

The food, service, and ambiance are all incredible! It was a really neat experience to eat here and I will definitely go back.

i would honestly give this place a negative. Food was not worth the price. service was alright , however i believe the female owner was being uptight and very loud/unfriendly which is beyond unprofessional which made the ambiance feel very unpleasant. I felt weird and unwanted. The restroom had a very awful smell not sure if it was unsanitary or someone . walking towards it there was a lot of stuff stacked up which made it look messy . Sorry but do not recommend! read more

Food & Ambience were simply amazing.....our server was ok and probably needs further development but the owners were highly engaged and made experience amazing!!!! read more

Wow! This restaurant is amazing! The food is delicious and great portions! The ambiance is fun and colorful and music playing (which makes dining so much better in my opinion). The staff were super friendly and attentive! They were excited about the dishes they were serving and checked in on us to make sure we enjoyed our meal! We came to celebrate a birthday and they made the celebration so special with complimentary desert and sung a birthday song account the chef/owner playing a drum! This has honestly been the best service we have experienced at any restaurant paired with amazing authentic food! read more

The food drinks and service were amazing. We had a great time. We're very happy to find this place. If you're looking for authentic gourmet Peruvian cuisine, there is no better place that we found. It's a bit of a drive from Colorado Springs but totally worth it. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to try Peruvian cuisine for the first time or if you're from Peru and missing a bit of home. read more

Tried this place for the first time tonight and it was over the top. Service, ambience. Selection on the menu and quality of food is highly recommended. I definitely will be going back to enjoy other options on the menu. read more

We ate at The Red Llama yesterday and had one of our best meal experiences to date! We tried most of the menu since we had a large party and we all enjoyed every single item! All the food was cooked to perfection, so flavorful, and great serving sizes. The owners take such pride in the food they prepare and you're treated like family while you're there. The decor is also so great. You can tell that a lot of thought and love has gone into creating a special ambiance. This is our new favorite restaurant! We can't wait to eat there again very soon! Totally recommend! read more

We were first impressed with the ambiance and then Caley explained the menu and her recommendations which were wonderful! We shared the ceviche appetizer which was delicious as were our three entrees, my personal favorite the chicken and pasta in an amazing rich and flavorful sauce. Overall, great dining experience! Highly recommend! read more
