The ceviche here is insane. We ordered it "medium" and I expected it to be somewhat spicy but it was fierrrry-hot. The chilled, lime acidity really offset the spiciness quite well. I also ordered the garlic shrimp, which was really good...it was almost too saucey but still muy bueno. I also had 2 or 3 or 5 glasses of cheap-o sangria with canned fruit tossed in the mix. A bit pricey but whatever, it's good. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Stamford! I usually get the chicken milanese or the mixed seafood ceviche. The drinks are also awesome (red sangria or pisco punch are my favorites). I have never had a bad experience here. The inside of the restaurant is very nice as well and the staff is very friendly. read more

Definitely the BEST Peruvian food I've had in a very long time. Everything from the toasted bread with aji sauce they serve as a mini appetizer to the Chaufa con Pollo and Bistec a lo Pobre my boyfriend and I ordered was on point. However I give them only 4 instead of 5 stars because although our waitress was nice, she was just a little too slow for my taste. Don't pass this place up if you're looking for great and authentic South American cuisine!! read more

Can't compare to Mi Ranchito. $12 for lomo saltado where Mi Ranchito for $8 Way over priced for their food. Rice on the lomo saltado wasn't good. Beef was cold. Only the fries at the bottom was hot. Sauce was very light. Service was bad too. After knowing I'm using groupon. They don't even come check on us and not once ask if we need anything else. read more

Fiesta on Main - Peruvian Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Unfortunately, my friend got food poisoning from eating here last week, such a disappointmeant. I hope they clean up their act!!!!

The portions were huge, but didn't have much flavor. The lomo saltadao was more like lomo blandado. The only thing I could taste were the french fries, and the sirlion seemed overcooked. But then again, I'm just not a fan of tough meat. The bread they brought to the table was blatantly stale, and that dip that's so amazing tastes suspiciously like salad dressing. I'm onto you, Fiesta! read more

This place has forever been an anchor of Stamford. I'm So happy they opened up this new location. So much more space so much more hip the customer service is was superior ! The atmosphere makes you feel very welcomed which is a far better improvement from the past location. The food remains EXCELLENT, pollo saltado is to die for. Such a great combination of peppers onions rice fries and chicken. Have been coming here for years and will continue to do so ! read more

The service is always fast and friendly and the food is delicious! I always enjoy their Chaufa and Lomo Saltado. They have lovely patio dining under a huge awning and the live entertainment was truly enjoyable with Elaine Rojas and her band. It was an excellent evening and I highly recommend the food, the people and the ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

i came here twice and the first time i got crab and it smelled like ammonia. It was horrible. I paid 40 for the dish. The second time i went i orded shrimp and rice and the shrimp stunk. It smelled terrible and it was 20 bucks. The seafood they sold me already went bad, they really gotta check these things bc its unbelievable that theyve done it twice. read more

I cant say that the food or service was bad. I gave it two stars because there are only two Peruvian restaurants I have been too and the other one blows this one out of the water. Also this place is pretty expensive, an average entree would run $13 which may not be too much for some people but when not totally satisfied with my order $13 is too much. MY GF ordered the skirt steak which I tried and it was very bland. For drinks she had the homemade juice which she did like and I believe ordered twice. I will probably not be coming back. read more

While we love the food, we are at the point where we might just go elsewhere for peruvian food. Second time taking out food and our order was messed up! We order online too so it is not a phone issue. They forgot one of our dishes last time and this time they handed us someone else's order and charged us twice! My husband had to drive back and talk to a manager because when we tried to call and ask if someone took out order by mistake, THEY HUNG UP ON US. I have kids at home so take out is our thing. If they can't manage to pack up their food correctly and be civil, I just can't keep coming back. read more

In my quest to find Peruvian food that is even remotely close to being as good as Pio Pio (see review), I tried Fiesta. My quest continues. The pollo a la brasa was good, not great. The fries were crispy but tasteless. The plantains were the best thing on my plate. My boyfriend got the Lomo. Again, good not great. The sauce is overrated and doesn't hold a candle to the sauce at Pio Pio. The sangria was surprisingly good, although it wasn't served with ice. They graciously gave us a cup of ice when we asked however. If I didn't know better (Pio Pio) I would have given his place 4 stars, but once you've had the Matador, nothing compares. read more

Went here as a party of three on a Sunday lunch. Service was prompt and the food was great. I am not overly familiar with Peruvian food, but I will say that there is no chicken offered here that is the "peruvian chicken" that some peruvian restaurants specialize in. The one dish we really liked was the "Cebiche especial" which was a huge platter of cold, raw seafood. It was well seasoned and fresh, would definitely get it again! I ordered "1/2 pollo a la brasa" thinking it was the peruvian chicken mentioned above but was sorely disappointed when it came out. Also, the portion sizes are gigantic so sharing is definitely an option! read more

For my first time eating Lomo was great. Nice atmosphere and service. Had a really good time with family. read more

Fiesta on Main - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

I eat here 1-2 times per week, have been coming to fiesta since its original location on Atlantic street... I must say the only thing I've ever had is the half chicken with rice and salad but it is a great choice (at least for the last 4 years) I would try it out if your in the neighborhood read more

I used to have lunch here every other week while i was in stamford...You get a nice free bread with the sauce before the order is taken.I tried chicken Saltado,which was excellent...Chicken friend rice, fried fish, rotiserrie chicken. Never had issues with food but the service is erratic at lunch times. Parking is an issue, as the street is full of restaurants... read more

Their aji sauce is the BEST. They give you a basket of bread and a bowl of aji sauce to start. We ended up asking for five more bowls of the sauce. I had the lomo saltado. It's a very large portion and none of us were able to finish the whole plate. I didn't think it was that great but everyone else I was with loved it. A friend got the pollo saltado and the portion is almost double the lomo saltado with a lot more vegetables. Tip: throw a bowl of aji sauce into the lomo saltado read more

Best Pollo Saltado ever. Amazing sauce with bread. A hassle with paying since they dont split orders more than 3 people.

Love that they moved location and have had such a great turn around from their past location. This restaurant is definitely one of the best in Stamford, the food, the drinks and the service..outstanding! read more

3+ Very friendly and attentive staff. Everything we tried was great too. They give very large portions here and they drinks are pretty good too. Some of the food could have used a bit more seasoning but overall we had an authentic Peruvian experience right in Stamford. read more

Can't complain!!!! The taste and quality of the food was incredible. Big portions at a reasonable price, can't beat it!!! :) read more

The calamari platter is so great.It was a crispy,light batter.The onion salad was very good.The salad didn't make calamari soggy.The combination was filling and refreshing.First time eating,will go back to dine in!! read more

My husband and I are in Stamford visiting friends and we happened upon this restaurant. OMGoodness!!! The food was amazing, the staff was super friendly, and the ambiance was comfortable. We had salchipapa for our appetizer. It came out quick and was tasty. Hubs has Lomo Saltado and I had Arroz con Mariscos. Both dishes were amazing! Hubs loves Lomo and he said this was the best he ever had. My dish was packed with calamari, shrimp and mussels; it tasted like I was at the beach because the seafood was so fresh. My on disappointment was that we didn't have a microwave in our hotel room to heat it up for later. Overall great experience and when we visit Stamford again, we will be back. read more

I was at this spot for 30 min and NO ONE OFFERED ME SERVICE. I took the initiative to ask someone for service but waited to point where I just got up and left. If there was such thing as an invisible man this place can make you feel like it. read more

Great prices and great sauce. For takeout: some dishes (e.g. chuleta) are inconsistent, and when it's good, its really good, when it's bad it's really bad. Lomo saltado and half chicken tend to be consistently good. read more

Ceviche mixto was perfect! As a person who travels to Peru several times a year, this place is an Authentic Peruvian food experience in the North East. (Rare in my opinion) Prices are fair for very large portions. Try the Ceviche's with a bottle of Cristal (Peruvian Beer) You will not be dissapointed. Service was warm and smiling with a full house. All of the other poor reviews are not justified by my experience. read more

This is my favorite Peruvian restaurant in Connecticut! I highly recommend their lomo saltado, chaufa, and ceviche. Everything is delicious and great ambiance. Highly recommend!!! read more

had the lomo saltado in the past . personally not a fan of the dish regardless it's too much on one plate and i hate soggy fries BUT i ordered the chimachurri steak with yellow rice & side of beans and it was absolutely DELICIOUS omgosh they gave an ample amount so it was well worth it to me!! This will be my GO TO meal .. my boyfriend loves the lomo saltado so don't let my review discourage you if you want to eat that :) read more

Cheap prices, great location and nice ambiance are the pros for this place. Unfortunately what really matters, the food, was subpar. The lomo Saltado was Eh with raw onions. And their take on fried rice, chicken chaufas, was also extremely mediocre. read more

Delicious food and drinks. Great customer service. Ordered the Pollo Saltado which was perfectly seasoned. Also got the Pisco Sour which was a different/amazing take on a whiskey sour. Came to Connecticut to visit family and we happened upon this place unexpectedly and glad we did. read more

Big servings for a good price Chilly weather! I was having a bad day. My boss fired me and my tinder date didn't show up. But overall, the food was great despite my day-te! PS. I LOVE MY PUMPKIN PIE #ConnecticutLoveLife #ItSucksCozIHaveToGoBack Hoyt street CT read more

Horrible service, i been eating here for years and today the service was terrible despite it being empty, the server Christian R. Was not enthusiastic at all, we had to ask him for bread, he did not bring us waters at all, and then once the food runner brought the food , he did not check on us the whole time meanwhile standing by the front door the whole time where our table was located. He came by and asked if we were good once we realized we were way past done eating our food. Ridiculous . Do better. read more

Very good food, big portions and friendly service for reasonable prices. The lomo and chicken saltados are delicious. The bistec a lo pobre is also very tasty. We also like to order a side of beans. The menu could have more variety of fish options. read more

This place is hands down my favorite restaurant in Stamford. If you think otherwise, you must be on drugs and I don't mean their sauce (85% sure there is crack in it). You can't beat the Pollo Saltado for 11 bucks you get a huge portion of a great dish. Also food is always fresh, and the staff is always smiling, especially John he's the best. read more

Was in Stamford for work and stopped in for lunch. I really enjoyed the meal I had!! My coworker had been here before and suggested we do not get appetizers because the dishes are big. The start you off with bread and and yellow sauce for dipping. The sauce was amazing!!! Had to get more bread just to dip. I then had the Bistec A Lo Pobre. This is a Peruvian pepper steak over white rice with 2 sunny side up eggs on top, fries, sweet plantains and salad. My colleague was correct as it was a large amount of food. Great flavors through out and loved the perfectly cooked egg on top. I even used the sauce to dip my fries. Overall, I left satsisfied and did not bother having dinner as I was still filled. Amazing value as the entree was $15!!! read more

The food is amazing here. I ordered a Lomo saltado which was well done. I am Peruvian and I enjoyed it very much and will return again and will recommend to friends and family. The prices are reasonable for the amount of the portion you get as well. read more

Fiesta on Main - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

See all

Totally recommend. Was here for lunch (for the first time) with co-workers and service was good, food came fast and it was delicious. Really large portions. I had the pork chops (amazing) with rice and beans and co-works had the steak (Lomo Saltado) and the flavors meshed together wonderfully. I think this place has not received a fair shake with these reviews. It's cheap/reasonable with large portions and flavorful food, what more can you ask for??!! read more

Ever since I was younger my family and I have come to eat here very often. The last 3 visits the food hasn't been the same. Usually when we come to this place the food takes long to cook but this time the food was made in no longer than 10 minutes. The last time I came here I had a lomo saltado, which is usually exquisite but it wasn't warm. It felt as if it wasn't freshly cooked. My father ordered a pollo saltado, his was not warm as well. He also stated that the fries were soggy and not crispy. He told the waiter and they sent it back to the kitchen. In no longer that 5 minutes they came back with new fries and the same chicken on top without any juice. This recent experience was very disappointing and I will not be back here ever again. If you are ever thinking of coming here...DON'T!!!! Instead go to Viva which is also a peruvian restaurant that has the same food but is much better. read more

Some great Peruvian food, but the service is slow. Asked if the beans had meat, the server told me no. And when they came out my vegetarian girlfriend had meat alllllll up in her beans.. read more

A little pricy and the service was alright. The atmosphere was eh since not many people were there and the music could use some workcthe food however was still great. read more
