    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

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    We had a lovely time here. The menu is different, so you have to be prepared to try new things. It's also a good spot to go if you are comfortable sharing the dishes. So go with people you like! We had an array of food, cocktails and more! The bluefin tostada and fennel salad were both INCREDIBLE. Our waitress was so nice and helpful and the vibes of the restaurant were great!

    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.

    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!

    Wow, what a great experience! Had a lovely dinner for 4 on a Tuesday evening. I don't remember what we ordered but I do know everything was absolutely delicious! Each dish was made with fresh ingredients and all the flavors went well together. From fresh ceviche to wagyu beef and all the various seafoods, each dish was amazing. The restaurant was super cute and had a lovely ambiance. Very nice for date night! Service was also top notch. The entire evening was spectacular and memorable. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique experience. Be sure to make a reservation!

    Amazing cebiches. All the ingredients are fresh and when assembled into the respective dishes they are mindblowing. Not only is the food so dang delicious each plate is a beautiful work of art. Everything I've tried has been a happy experience. They have indoor and outdoor seating options. My favorite place to sit is at the cebiche bar so I can watch the chefs at work. They service is always attentive and friendly. Leche de Tigre is a Michelin Guide restaurant, recognized as a "Recommended" restaurant in the first-ever Texas Michelin Guide.

    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.

The venue is very pleasant. We were the only ones speaking English during our visit. The Spanish I was hearing was not a local dialect. I feel like the other patrons were probably from Peru, although one man sounded Columbian. Anyway... we knew we were in for a treat. We ended up having a four course meal. The first course was a delicious (and huge) tamal wrapped in banana leaves. The masa was thick, very moist, and tasted like it was made with a very delicious broth. That was followed by anticuchos which are grilled slices of beef heart. They came with some slices of roasted potato. I thought they were seasoned really well, but my son thought they were too salty. For our main course, we both had cau cau (Peruvian beef tripe stew) served with a small bowl of white rice. It was very delicious. The trip was cooked perfectly- not chewy, but not gelatinous. For dessert, we each had an alfador (Peruvian short bread cookies filled with a layer of Dulce de Leche and topped with powdered sugar). They were sheer perfection! The shortbread was as soft and flaky as my Mother's. We each drank a Chicha Morado. It was a sweet purple drink with cinnamon in it. I loved it. We only came in contact with two of the staff. They were both super helpful and very pleasant.
