Amazing Food & Beautiful Atmosphere Had a great experience at Leche de Tigre! We came in without a reservation and were lucky enough to be seated in the greenhouse. Even though it was one of the hottest days in San Antonio, the split AC unit did its job, and the greenhouse was surprisingly comfortable. The space was beautiful and had such a relaxing vibe. The food was amazing, and the service was excellent. Noah was our server, and even though we were seated in the back, we never felt forgotten or overlooked. He did a great job checking on us throughout the meal. We started with the yuca frita, which came with a spicy sauce that we weren't aware of. When we mentioned that it was too spicy for us, the staff immediately took care of it and brought us another serving without the sauce. Great customer service! The dry corn was also really good (FYI, it does contain MSG). The lomo saltado was delicious, and the quality of the meat was definitely there. However, the menu describes it as a sharing plate, and personally, I would disagree. The rice portion that comes with it is pretty small, especially if you're sharing. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but you can tell they're using quality meat and ingredients. I also would have loved to see the yuca served with a cilantro-based sauce as an option. Overall, a really great Peruvian restaurant with excellent food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere. San Antonio doesn't have a ton of Peruvian restaurants, so I'm glad we found this place. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy Peruvian food! read more

Wow. A little taste of Lima in Southtown. Leche de Tigre lives up to the James Beard and Michelin buzz. We sat at the cebiche bar under the mural and worked our way through the menu. The ceviche was bright, citrusy, and topped with crispy sweet potato threads... exactly the zippy, punchy flavor Peruvian food is known for. The grilled fish crowned with caviar in a rich aji amarillo butter was the sleeper hit. It was silky, luxurious, unforgettable. The lomo saltado brought the umami---tender beef tenderloin, crispy potatoes, and charred scallions in a bold sauce. Don't skip the Inca corn to snack on or the pisco cocktails. The pisco sour was perfectly frothy and balanced. We closed with the cheesecake topped with fresh berries, a bright finish to a bold meal. Buzzing atmosphere, warm service, and food that punches way above what you'd expect. A gem. read more

Best restaurant in San Antonio we've been to! We were blown away by the food and service at Leche De Tigre. Our server Nia was so nice and attentive and gave great food and drink recommendations. We were there celebrating our anniversary and were given complimentary champagne as we arrived. Everything we got was delicious: the oysters, nikkei, pulpo skewer, fennel salad, lomo saltado. The restaurant is beautiful with indoor and outdoor seating. It was hot outside but the fans helped. We highly recommend this restaurant and hope to be back next time we visit San Antonio. read more

Every bite was absolutely delicious. Wagyu bavettes were nicely charred with a slight crisp on the surface but flavor entirely embedded throughout the meat. Causa: wagyu tartare was super tender, on very creamy puree. Tataki and the criollo ceviches were both delightfully light and citrusy. Especially loved how many types of seafood were in the criollo. 100% get the criollo. Was hoping for Nikkei and the grilled octopus too but they were out when we were there. Looooooved the arroz con marisco...best version of this dish I've ever had and chock full of really tender seafood (esp loved the fried calamari and scallops). Just be aware that prices are high for the portion size. So maybe don't go in super hungry. Definitely worth it tho. read more

Third time that we've had the pleasure of dining here. Each time we've dined here has been just absolutely amazing. If you're wanting a more lively atmosphere definitely book for the later evening (which we today, decided we preferred). Much more calm atmosphere in the day time. Staff is always so sweet and ready to answer any questions. I think my favorite part about this place is that you can arrive in completely casual attire or all dolled up and you'll still fit right in. The flavors are definitely chefs kiss. read more

Wow wow wow I had had such a great experience here. From the service to the food everything was a 10/10 I sat alone at the ceviche bar Saturday afternoon before the rush came in. I had no reservation but I would definitely recommend booking a reservation to secure a spot Parking is very limited, but there is street parking available To start I got the Texas oysters which comes with their seasonal leche de tigre drizzled in olive oil. It was so good I got two orders. Chef Santi was amazing at explaining the ingredients that go into the dish and also went into detail about how they source their oysters For another app I order the skewer de pulpo (octopus), I was blown away! Legitimately the most tender octopus I've ever had in my life. Chef Santi did an amazing job explaining to me how they prep and cook their octopus. I kid you not, very tender 10/10 I was recommended the Tataki Ceviche by one of the chefs. And wow, the way all the flavors blended so well together surprised me. The peanuts really elevated the dish, and execution was beautiful! I sipped up the bowl after I finished. You can tell they really take their time with each dish. For dessert I ordered Terremoto. Very rich with cacao, I don't think I've ever had such a rich chocolate dish before. If you do not like dark chocolate, this dessert is not for you. The ice cream that came with it was so delectable. You can tell by tasting this dish they really really really put their all when it comes to ingredients and execution. I was very impressed with my experience here. If you are ever in San Antonio area and love fresh seafood. Highly, and I mean HIGHLY recommend checking this spot out. They have bar seating, indoor seating, as well as patio seating. Reservations highly encouraged read more

We're in town for a work conference and saw this place was highly recommended. I've never had Peruvian food before, so I was excited to try everything there. Food was delicious. Every single dish was a hit. Fish tasted super fresh. So many flavors but somehow it all worked so well together. Service was great. I love that it felt home-y but also upscale at the same time. I can't wait to go back!! read more

Peruvian Pisco & Cebichería Some meals are memorable. Some meals are educational. And then there are meals that quietly recalibrate your entire understanding of what a restaurant can be. Leche de Tigre is the latter. From the moment we walked up, we were greeted by two incredibly warm and gracious young women who made us feel immediately welcome and thoughtfully guided us to the perfect spot. That tone, care, intention, and genuine hospitality, never wavered for the rest of the evening. Our server, Alexa, was exceptional. Knowledgeable without being rehearsed, attentive without hovering, and clearly proud of what she was serving. Behind the pisco bar, Sous Chef Santi took the experience even further, sharing the history of Leche de Tigre and the philosophy behind the food. This isn't just cooking, it's storytelling. Sustainability, respect for ingredients, and a deep desire to introduce Peruvian cuisine to people who may be experiencing it for the very first time... and falling in love immediately. We began with the traditional Peruvian corn nuts, which deserve their own warning label: dangerously addictive. For drinks, we ordered a pisco sour--perfectly balanced--and a glass of white wine recommended by Alexa, which paired beautifully with everything that followed. Then came something truly special: pine oysters. Available only briefly each year, these oysters feed on pine-rich algae, which gives them a stunning green hue and an elegant, vegetal depth. They were reminiscent of the famed French fines de claire vertes, briny, mineral, and utterly refined. Rare, intentional, and unforgettable. Next was the ceviche, and I don't use this word lightly: insane. Bright ahi, creamy avocado, and layers of citrus and heat that danced rather than overwhelmed. Every bite was perfectly balanced, fresh, vibrant, and alive. We followed with two skewers: one (name forthcoming) and the Wagyu, which nearly stopped conversation at the table. The marinade, whatever alchemy it came from, was divine. The dipping sauce was excellent, but honestly? I wanted to bathe in whatever the Wagyu had already absorbed. It was that good. Normally, I don't order dessert. But this experience demanded a proper finale, and the cheesecake delivered. Light, elegant, and refreshingly tart, not cloying or overly sweet, ending the meal on a note of restraint and precision. This was not just dinner. It was art, culture, hospitality, and passion, all moving in harmony. Leche de Tigre is a James Beard finalist, featured in the Michelin Guide, and after this experience, I can say without hesitation: It is the best restaurant in Texas. Hands down. read more

We almost didn't come. We made a reservation but it was a tad too far from the riverwalk but we decided to honor the commitment and we went. Half of our group Ubered and the other half did the 40 minute walk. I've never had Peruvian food before but this was INCREDIBLE. The four or five ceviche dishes have forever ruined what I think ceviche should be. They were all so good - very acidic and flavorful, with the accompanying spices and herbs and leaves. The service was so-so. It was a really busy night and I think they were understaffed. The corn nibblers they give everyone at the start of the meal are addicting. I can't wait for my next trip to San Antonio! read more

We went here for our anniversary and I was throughly impressed. They pulled out all the stops in making our night special. They gave us free champagne, shots, dessert, and even took a cute Polaroid picture of us! Incredible service. The food was even better. For appetizers we ordered Choclo frito (pork belly) and Wagyu-x bavette (wagyu skewer). For my main dish I ordered the Lomo Saltado. The meats were all so tender and juicy. The plates and presentation were immaculate. All my dishes were amazing. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with tigers and art. There is an open kitchen where you can watch the food being made. All in all, a superb experience that made us feel great! Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I 100% recommend this place. I'm definitely going back. At first I thought it was going to be one of those spots that social media hypes up, and then when you get there it's nothing like people made it seem. But this one definitely exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing. We got the scallops and some kind of noodle or chicken dish, I can't remember. The scallops came on the shell, and I thought it was a tostada at first, so I ended up trying to eat the shell. That was pretty funny. The drinks were really good, not super strong but solid. The décor and seating arrangements were nice, and to top it off the staff was friendly. read more

Leche De Tigre - Peruvian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Made a last minute decision to come here for dinner and I'm glad I did! The inside of Leche De Tigre has tropical boho vibes. Very fun. I ordered the Amazonico ceviche, fennel salad, wagyu skewer, and Crema Volteada for dessert. All of the dishes were great but the ceviche really stole the show! Fresh fish and it paired nicely with the crispy chifle. Overall, the food is a little bit on the pricier side given the portions but a great spot for special occasions or date night! read more

My wife always finds the hidden gems, the best places to eat. Leche de Tigre is amazing, the food, the service, and the ambiance all help create such a unique and delicious experience. The Peruvian menu offers such an elegant taste and beautiful artistry of the owner who I discovered has a Peruvian and Mexican heritage. The place itself was an old home turned into a modern and peaceful restaurant. My wife ordered the ceviche which came with various seafood and sweet potatoes which mixed wonderfully. I ordered the chicken thighs and noodles which is a lovely combination and pays homage to the Chinese influence in Peru. Both dishes were so delicious and left us so satisfied. Our waiter Sean was very knowledgeable in both the menu and the culture, he made our conversation and experience very enjoyable. I would hope everyone that lives in San Antonio tries this place because it's a must. read more

Leche de Tigre completely blew us away! We sat at the bar, which turned out to be the best seat in the house, watching the chefs plate everything right in front of us was an experience all on its own. We started with the Cebiche Criollo, a perfectly balanced with fresh fish, shrimp, octopus, and crispy calamari... every bite had that citrusy kick you want from good ceviche. The Tiraditos Tataki was light and bright, with yellowfin that melted in your mouth, but it does have a spicy kick. Then came the anticucheria skewers... the Wagyu-X bavette was insanely tender with the chimichurri and huancaína sauce, and the scallops were just as incredible, topped with a touch of parmesan and chalaca that tied everything together. Dessert didn't disappoint either. The Crema Volteada with cherimoya and berries was silky and not too sweet, way better than flan, and the Pie de Maracuyá might just be one of my new favorites... tart, creamy, citrus/passion fruit flavors, and perfectly finished with a berry compote. Almost like a key lime pie! Everything was unbelievably fresh, portioned just right for sharing, and priced fairly for the quality and experience. The ambiance is low lighting and definitely more adult friendly. Didn't see any children. Perfect for a romantic date night or girls dinner. The manager (possibly the owner) even stopped by to check on us, which says a lot about the care they put into this place. We already booked another reservation.... that's how good it was. read more

was super excited to try this place! although it's a small restaurant, it was quite lively with loud music. I sat at the ceviche bar and got to see them prepare and plate the dishes! service was also incredibly attentive and personable. nikkei: 4/5 amazing flavors, the sauce was a bit intense and overpowering though. I do wish that they gave something to eat it with because it was a bit salty. bachiche: 5/5 definitely my favorite dish of the night. the scallops were super fresh and the savory parmesan sauce was delicious. the capers were delicious and added crunch. tallarín: 4/5 hearty fried chicken and noodle dish. the chicken was nicely battered but not crispy. the bucatini was good, but the sauce was quite salty. crema volteada: 3/5 it was a bit dense and not as creamy as I expected. the flavor was good and not too sweet. I was really excited for the cherimoya cream but couldn't really taste it! read more

If I could give Leche De Tigre 10 stars, I would! This amazing restaurant is one of my favorite in the city. I've been coming here since they opened two years ago, and the quality in food and amazing service just keeps getting better. Even though they've just been open for 2 years, they've already gained a lot of recognition in the culinary scene. They were James Beared semifinalists in 2025 and are on the Texas Michelin Guide of recommended restaurants, just to name a few. Due to the very well-deserved recognition they are very popular and I would encourage you to make a reservation at least a couple of days in advance. They do have an early happy hour during their weekday from 4-6pm which includes some of their drinks and piqueos (small dishes). If you are not sure where to start, I would just recommend ordering multiple small dishes and sharing them with someone else. Here are some of my recommendations for small dishes: - Anticuchos which are short rib topped with chimichurri and huacatay crema. - Cebiche nikkei which is yellowfin with tamarind ponzu, aji limo, cucumber, sweet potato and avocado. - Tataki is a tiradito with yellowfin tuna, citrus leche de tigre, pickled daikon and carrots, crushed peanuts, sesame oil and scallions. Last but not least, if you are looking for a different kind of vibe, I would recommend booking a table at their greenhouse. The space is really pretty and they keep the temperature at a comfortable level during winter and summer. read more

After much anticipation we decide to try this place out on my birthday and my visit here was truly memorable! From the atmosphere to the food. Everything was truly amazing. We tried the Lomo Saltado which I had an incredible flavor. The meat, onions, potatoes and tomatoes were all cooked to perfection. The potatoes that were included in the dish definitely added some nice texture to it also. I also tried the wagyu skewer which was exceptionally good. The flavor was savory and spicy and just oh so good, I highly recommend you order it. I orderd the Maracuya cocktail which was perfectly balanced and full of flavor. I also had the maracuya limeaide which was extremely tarte, but enjoyable. Our server was attentive, personable and would frequently visit our table to check in and refill our glasses, Which made our visit even more enjoyable. I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu. Now I understand how they were able to get on the Michelin guide. read more

We arrived at 2pm on Saturday to Leche de Tigre for a late lunch and drinks. We opted to sit inside. The inside was full and the seating was not the most comfortable (seats had no padding). The server was very nice but quite slow. There were also several food and beverage items we asked for that were out of stock. It was quite disappointing and surprising as it was mid service on a Saturday. We were unable to enjoy the yucca chips, the tuna tostadas, the branzino and a variation of tequila on the menu. What we had was solid and fresh, sometimes a bit salty and desperately needed a crispy accompaniment (shame on the chips). The lomo salado was our favorite dish- potatoes were cooked perfectly (I wish there were twice as many of them) and the sauce was very good. The pisco sour was not my drink of choice- very strong, however the passion fruit version was much more palatable. Overall, I was disappointed by our experience and wished we picked another spot to eat. read more

Leche de Tigre stands proud, bold, and humble amongst incredible culinary experiences in SATX, as it should! Not only can you taste the quality of the food but you can also feel the culinary love poured into each dish and drink created at Leche de Tigre. As a food lover who is appreciative of mastering a craft, LDT did not disappoint at all. To further heighten the experience, the beautiful aesthetic, artwork, and horticulture are unmatched! I'm grateful I finally had the opportunity to experience it. Our waiter Sean made it such a pleasant dining experience as well. We ordered the criollo cebiche which consisted of seasonal fish, shrimp, octopus, crispy calamari, & ají amarillo with the Peruvian corn that looks like hominy. The sauce was to die for!! My mouth is watering just reminiscing! All of the flavors and textures including the sweet potato slices make it such an exquisite dish. We also ordered the tallarin criollo which is a chicken dish with thick noodles, veggies, and a tangy sauce. An Asian flare which made perfect sense given the history of the huge Chinese and Japanese influence in Peru. I was in culinary heaven trying both dishes!! I also couldn't pass up trying the chicha morada drink. It made me reminisce of my trip to Peru and it also reminded me of a similar drink my family makes in Mexico called "Ponche". Overall, a top tier experience. I am looking forward to visiting again and tasting everything on the menu. Gracias, LDT! read more

The place is beautiful, the service is good, the ambiance is nice, but the food was okay. The food quality and quantity did not match the price. I spend about $170 for two people and I left hungry. I started off with clasico limeno and it was alright but I definitely had better. The portions are way too small. The plate is big but the food but have been 3 tablenspoons. Then i had the nikkei, I did realy like that ceviche. For the portion and the taste just didn't make sense. None of them came with chip plantains or crackers. I also had the tuna tostada which was amazing, I will definitely order that again! Then I had some kinda meat on a stick it was okay. For the main dishes I had the Lomo Saltado. It was good but you only get 5 small pieces and a whole bunch of potatoes. Not worth it for the price. Then I had the Tataki which was really good but again the portions doesn't match the price. For desert I had the pie de maracuya and it was so tangy I had to return it because I couldn't eat it. So lastly had the ice cream it said it came with biscoff but mines did not have it. All in all I would give it another try and order something different but I would not recommend this place because the food quality/portions doesn't match the price. I have attached pictures. My excited face was before I got my food. I gave it 3 stars for good service, ambiance and nice restaurant. read more

What a great restaurant with a cool vibe and a dining room full of diverse patrons. We were referred to LDT by a local bartender. We were so glad he did. We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to fit us in the bar area at a high top table. We started with a glass of sparkling rose. Our server brought a small ramekin of concha's (dried Peruvian corn kernels that taste like corn nuts). Great nibbles while you're figuring out your order. LDT is a Peruvian tapas restaurant. We order 5 different plates. I loved all of them. My wife loved 4 out of 5. Dishes tried: Tostada de atun Nikkei (ceviche) Amazonico (ceviche) Wagyu-x bavette (grilled skewer) LDT was a great choice for dinner and a good reminder of how much we like well prepared Peruvian food.

Highlight of our San Antonio trip. If there is one restaurant you go to in San Antonio, make sure it is Leche de Tigre. Service alone is so warm, welcoming and kind. Our server, Ramone, was beyond. We came for lunch and sat in the greenhouse. Only word of warning is there are flies - if you can get indoor, highly recommend doing so. We ordered the pisco sour and the spiritless sanagria. Both were delicious. We split the Criollo Ceviche, with seasonal fish, shrimp, octopus, and fried calamari - it was pretty perfect. We also got the Arroz con Mariscos - and the sauces were just the perfect combination of light, fresh and unbelievably tasty. We also split a chicken skewer; I am not quite sure how they made a chicken skewer so tasty, but the unique combination of flavors, topped with purple potato chips likely contributed. We didn't have room for dessert, but will most certainly be back. Thank you for being the highlight of our time in San Antonio, and making for a special family memory. read more
