Carne Asada Very big portion and great flavor

Great service, good happy hour, big portion on food. Server recommendations were great and loved everything we ordered

Stir fried chicken with salad
Willie W.

We decided to try lunch at this Peruvian restaurant. Food was pretty good. My wife had the chicken stir fried dish and I had the Milanese chicken dish. We also tried the chicken empanadas which were very good. Shocked they didn't have any diet drinks and the empanadas were good but not worth the steep price for only one? Come on. The good thing is they have buy 10 for $17.50 now that's a good deal. Bathroom was clean and the restaurant is pretty spacious. There's street parking in the front of the restaurant. Customer service was great. They didn't have yuca fries but they substituted my dish with plantains. Yes we recommend you try it and we'll come back.

I wanted to love this place sooooo bad. But also, to be fair we only had tapas and drinks. So lets start off with I didn't order any of the entrees because we wanted jalea and they dont have it on their menu. I wanted chicha but didnt see it on their menu and didn't bother asking. We walked in for happy hour after a visit to the aquarium down the block. It had just opened so it was empty but it filled up by the time we left. The drinks were strong and amazing, they tasted fresh & the bartender was so sweet and checked in with us multiple times. I think I only had two drinks and FELT them. I got the passion fruit Mojito and our friend got a pisco sour. Everything was great and fresh. The tapas were well portioned and flavorful. My biggest disappointment was the ceviche. I've had Peruvian ceviche before and this was underwhelming. The ceviche sauce tasted like a combo of Tostitos salsa with fresh onions & tomatoes. The empanadas were great and reminded me of puerto rican pastelios. The cool touch was the branding with the flavor of them, we got chorizo, beef & chicken they were all good but my fave was the chicken. We also got the arepas which I didn't care too much for. The chicharron de pollo was my favorite part. The chicken was juicy and crispy. The decor inside is really colorful and unique. Overall, I felt like it was an elevated Peruvian fusion restaurant that lacks a certain authenticity but has amazing drinks, service & ambience.

I'll be honest, when we decided to Peruvian food with a group of 13, 5 of which are children, we had a certain type of restaurant and price point in mind. With not a lot of time to choose, we called Ayahuasca in Norwalk. They had space for us so we went. We were pleasantly greeted and sat. The decor is modern, sophisticated, with ethnic touches. So here's when the honesty comes in, it isn't cheap! It was definitely Downtown Norwalk, nice restaurant pricing. We normally have no problem with this and enjoy finer meals, but with the group we were with, I wish we checked the menu first...$$. There is a very limited kids menu so some of the children ordered off the adult menu. With all of that said, the food and service were AMAZING! It was well worth the price point. Drinks were on point, appetizers were creative, authentic and tastes so good- a favorite being the mussels and the yucca fries! Trust me! My paella appeared smaller than I've seen but with the amount of apps were ordered, it was just right. The tiger shrimp on top were soft and sweet. Absolutely incredible! I can't wait to go back... with my husband (leaving my kids at home). It is a lovely place for a date night! The owners were personable and chatted with us a bit and made sure everyone was happy. They have another location in New Canaan! Check out my Instagram foodie account @datenightcraves

Discovered this gem after a visit to the nearby Maritime Aquarium. What a great find! The restaurant is fairly small and has a small bar, but it is nicely decorated (see the pics!) and the ambiance is casual and friendly. We started out with beef empanadas which were lightly dressed with an onion and vinegar dressing. Both were delicious. We then moved on to our main dish of Lomo Saltado. I had never had this before but understand it is a Peruvian favorite. That too was delicious! It was served nice and hot one bite convinced me that this was somewhere I was going to come back to! Enjoy the pics!

Being Peruvian I always look for Peruvian restaurant. Found this place and aside from it not serving alcohol the food was delicious. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Delicious pork sliders

Located in SONO this was a fun find. Very authentic menu and feel to the restaurant. They mean business with their cocktails! I had a caipirinha drink first and had to trade with my dining partner and take his Ayahuasca cocktail because it was so strong. I also had their version of sangria and it was also very strong and really felt like a ton of red wine with oranges mixed in (no complaints here!). I loved that the bartender came over and asked us how we liked the drinks. For a starter, I went with the Chicharron sliders which had a nice kick of spice. The menu isn't huge but everything sounded so good - it was hard to decide! For our main dishes, we tried the arroz chaufa which was huge (so much rice!) and very nice with the fried egg on top. I could have gone with a bit more spice here. The other dish we tried was arroz con mariscos and this was also a huge portion with an array of seafood flavors going on. The rice in this dish had more flavor than the chicken dish. Both were super filling and delicious. Price-wise, not bad at all for the area, quality of food and portions. I was surprised at how quiet the restaurant was on a busy Friday night in the area- people are definitely missing out by not giving it a try!

We chose to celebrate our 39th anniversary here. Ordered the paella and rotisserie chicken. Absolutely delicious. Sangria too! Service timely and friendly. Love the ambiance. We will return!

We had to ask for a bigger table and was led towards the end. Very interesting menu, we had the pu'er tea, which is not very commonly offered in the Chinese restaurants in the area. Love the teapot presentation and overall the branding effort. We tried to order the soup dumpling but was told something wasn't working properly and it's going to take over an hour so next time. Got wontons in chili oil, love the flavor. The mushu pork, a little bit too sweet for me. And the beef chow fun, just can't go wrong with that, and the szichuan pot with cumin lamp. I think this more authentic Chinese but my husband felt the lamb was too oily. I requested to get the little cute cat cup for my daughter's lemonade order and they said yes, so it was a very cute touch. Very happy with the visit definitely a lot of potential we will be back.

Overall, loved my experience and can't wait to go back to try more menu items.

I was surprised by the Spanish stuffed peppers; It was better than I expected, filled with rich, slow-braised oxtail short rib ragu that was incredibly tender, savory, and full of deep flavor. The slight smoky sweetness from the peppers balanced the hearty meat perfectly. Such a unique memorable tapa. Perfect spot for drinks, sharing plates, and a fun night out.

Popular menu items include birria tacos, octopus, shrimp ceviche, and steak chimichurri. My daughter and I visited here for her birthday, and we both love Latin cuisine. As we walked in, we were greeted warmly and shown to our seats immediately. It was a chilly day, and the restaurant felt cold inside as well. The staff tried to warm things up with space heaters, but they didn't quite do the trick. We ordered empanadas, birria tacos, hanger steak, and sweet plantains with crema and queso fresco. When the dishes arrived, they were lukewarm--a bit disappointing, considering how cold it was outside. The birria tacos were delicious, though again, they could have been hotter. The meat was tender and well-seasoned, but I would have liked it a bit crisper. The hanger steak was tender, and the Pico de Gallo was bursting with flavor, pairing perfectly with the steak. It was nicely seasoned and had a good-sized portion. The empanadas were tasty, with flavorful and plentiful meat. The plantains were extremely delicious. The crema and queso fresco helped bring the whole dish together beautifully. The customer service was friendly, but the food could have been hotter; still, the flavors and seasonings were spot-on.

The chicken was the highlight, crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and really well seasoned. You can tell it was freshly made. The cornbread was also really good, soft, warm, slightly sweet, and even better with the sorghum honey butter. The mac & cheese was great. it was rich, creamy, and felt homemade in the best way. I'm not usually a fan of cole slaw, and this one was a bit watery, I should have asked if I could swap it out. The desserts were a highlight too, the peach empanada was nice and warm, buttery, paired perfectly with the ice cream and icing, and the banana pudding was smooth, classic, and comforting with the nilla wafer crumble and fresh banana. Even my starter arugula lemon vinaigrette salad was delicious. Service was excellent and attentive, and the ambiance is definitely upscale and stylish. Overall, it's on the pricier side, but that feels expected for the quality and setting.
