    start with a few skewers. as a main, the tenderloin is delicious and is really perfect for sharing. a glass of pechuga to drink, with ice on the side.

    My highlight was the wonderfully balanced and exquisite caviche; however the staff and ever other dish we had was exquisite. Highly recommend the duck sausage as well. Try a dessert if you have room

    Antichuco. Amazing starters (all 4). Quinoa is a MUST. I vote the beef tenderloin (pictured) when deciding between the chicken and the tenderloin. It's not as heavy as it looks and is so so good!

    Peruvian food from an EMP chef with a vibe perfect for dates. "Llama del Ray" is a great sangria riff. Lamb belly, fluke ceviche with plantains, and quinoa that tastes like a BLT.

    Incredible!! Every dish was so flavorful (scallop, beef heart, and sweetbread skewers and lamb belly entree were amazing). Super friendly staff but can take a while to get a drink (only 3 bartenders)

    Beautifully presented Peruvian food. Loved the beets, seafood, and short rib. Lots of seating options including a rooftop and chef's counter.

    The cocktails are good - Llama del Rey has a silly name but is the right kind of sweet cocktail. The ceviche is very tasty and the chicken is superbly portioned and comes with 3 different sauces.

    Awesome, trendy, and delicious. Excellent cocktails, super service, and best Peruvian food I’ve had. Don’t miss the branzini 🐟 (ceviche, scallop skewer, quinoa, broccoli, also memorable)

    Dishes like rock shrimp with rice, fluke tiradito, and beets with goat cheese are small, but packed with flavor.

    Wayyyy better than an 8.2. This is my favorite Daniel Humm establishment by far. Beef stir fry, quinoa, tiradito and the on-tap punch (Llama Del Rey) all crowd pleasers. Will be back

    That place you noticed and said you'll come some day and when you do you wish you came earlier! Drinks were a treat and food with a lil' twist. Get the beef tenderloin plate and pork belly! BK's best!

    The Llama Del Ray is a dope house sangria! Can't go wrong with the ceviche and the duck sausage was amazing- but not a huge plate. Just order a bunch of plates to share and you'll be solid

    Think you don't like quinoa? Then try the quinoa salad with buttermilk and bacon, it will change your mind and Rock your world! Cocktail, the matador swizzle pairs well with the cerviche.

    I loved: smoking apples cocktail, fluke ceviche, pork belly anticucho, beef tenderloin stir fry. Service was not great, but the vibe is fun.

    Came by for brunch. Good way to sample the best dinner dishes (steak with fries, quinoa) on the cheap. Rice pudding was excellent...like a dessert cereal

    Deliscious contemporary Peruvian inspired dishes. Definitely a fusion happening here. Not on the light sight of things. Rich flavors and sauces. Great ambiance and staff. Nice for dates.

    Great cocktail program by the talented Lynette Marrero, delicious Corvino tiradito, and interesting meat dishes like goat neck with potato, turnip, cilantro, chic ha de Jora and red quinoa.

    Excellent spot in Williamsburg! Food (to share) and drink are delicious. Ceviche and Marisco rice are amazing! Pisco drink :)

    Williamsburg's new Peruvian spot begins brunch service. If you're looking for the ultimate brunch dish, try the Beef Tenderloin Stir-Fry topped with fried eggs, bananas, french fries and rocoto cream. Read more

    Tried all the skewers my first time: “Around the world cuchos” was a great way to get acquainted with this spot. Will try beef tenderloin stir fry at brunch next time

    The beef heart skewers and octopus skewers are fantastic. The waiter suggested we order 5 plates for 2 people but 4 plates and dessert would have been fine. Everything was exquisite.

    Portions are small and on pricey side, but always delicious. The ceviche was great and so were the Pisco sour. They removed the kebabs from the menu, which was one of their signature dishes.

    SO DELICIOUS. Ceviche melts in your mouth. Baby gem salad may be the best salad I've ever enjoyed. Pass on the quinoa.

    Everything is delicious, if you don't eat pork, make sure you ask about it in every dish, though. I wish I was eating their quinoa right now.

    Order every anticucho to start, then share some larger plates. The quinoa has a lot of texture and goat neck is incredibly tender and moist. Service is a little overbearing; desserts just okay.

    Portions are a little too small to share with a large group. Went with 7 people and shared plates were too small. Recommend going with a party of 2-3 to split plates

    The ceviche and tiradito are outstanding. Rather than just eat the fish drink the juice. It's the best part.

    Get the large expensive steak plate. It's amazing! Also the drinks are delicious and unique.

    The lomo saltado is possibly life-changing. Ask for an off-menu drink based on what you like; the bartenders will similarly not disappoint.

    Unique, flavourful dishes. Awesome cocktails. The merengue lime pie was delicious and you should 100% order it (twice!)

    Pisco Sour and Llama del Rey were great, as were the omelette and beef tenderloin stir fry. Wait seemed unnecessarily long.

    Recommend the bok choy salad (so good), beets, and cachanga! Salmon ceviche was on the acidic side and the chocolate cake a little dry

    Excellent for dinner, only okay for brunch. Unique decor, delicious cocktails. Try all 4 "anticucho" (skewers).

    Trendy Peruvian spot. I’d recommend the pork belly skewers, ceviche, and beef cheek. Cocktails were excellent.
