    CAMARONES CON CHAMPINONES
    Audrey A.

    New Peruvian spot in Tapestry Park near III Forks and right diagonal to Indigo Blue Hotel. GPS will take you around the building and the signage is hard to see. Restaurant is spacious with booths, tables and bar seating. Ceviche was so refreshing. The chicken moist and the shrimp champignon was a nice flavorful surprise.

    Lula's Bistro is a new restaurant tucked away in peaceful Tapestry Park. This was the first restaurant that I have tried Peruvian food at and it was delicious. I had been craving ceviche and this hit the spot. The CEVICHE DE POTA which is a Squid ceviche mix with jumbo corn kernel,corn nut and sweet potato was my favorite out of the three in the trio. Loved the crunch from the corn nuts and the sauce was delicious. Had to try some lomo saltado so I had the taco and the meat was cooked perfectly. Loved that they put a few fries on it so you get a full taste of the entree version. My husband raved about the octopus dish saying I don't think I can find this anywhere else that is on this level. The Caipirinha - favorite- and Pisco Sour were tasty as were the toasty hot & fresh churros. Very nice restaurant. I would make sure I wasn't in a rush to eat here at least if it was busy because they do make everything fresh. Would make a very nice date spot and I also hope to catch some of their lunch specials.

    Lomo Saltado Taco - a Peruvian classic meets Mexico! Yum!

    Just lovely!!! Peru is known for its cuisine - and this little gem is a foodie great find. The menu is authentic, and even includes upscale Mexican dishes. The food and drink presentation also made the food look as good as it tasted! Every dish we ate is worth coming back for.

    The great menu is on a tablet

    Best flavors I have encountered in a long time!! Papa A La Huancaina - amazing but, be careful has a kick! Inka ceviche with shrimp- I wish we had ordered 2 portions. Lomo Salteado - a little tough but the flavor made up for it. Definitely worth a try!

    Loved this place. Food was cooked perfect and you could clearly tell high quality ingredients. I had one mar y tierra taco and fajitas. Clean, friendly staff, great food. What more can you ask for?

    We are ceviche lovers and this is the best ceviche we've had in town by far! So, so delicious! Cocktails were pretty and tasty too - can't wait to return

    Octopus- sauce has some heat, recommend dipping a small bit before pouring it all over.

    The food was delicious! The bluefin tartar and the grilled octopus was so good! Maya was our server and she was just a delight! She was patient, offered recommendations and was so friendly yet professional. The place was clean and pretty!! They have an outdoor space that'll be nice to try!

    Best ceviche in Jax. Fresh. Clean restaurant. Hugeeee servings. Definitely try them out. Good cocktails too!!

    Ceviche with tostone

    Ceviche en tostada was tasty but not alot of fish just a lot of filler with diced onions. At time it taste as you were eating onion with tostada. Anticuchos were very thin and not a lot of meat. Not your typical anticuchos that thick and on a skewer. It has a great taste so would recommend. Lomo saltado was basic. Nothing out of this world. But if you are looking for a simple meal definitely check it out. The only dish I would recommend is the pescado lo macho. The cream sauce and fish sauce as to die for.

    The main bar

    Having spent time visiting through out Peru, I'm always encouraged when a new Peruvian restaurant opens in Jacksonville. This was our first visit and my overall impression of the ambience was quaint, very clean, we had as our server, Tony, who was incredibly attentive. I tried one of their signature cocktails made from pisco and it was quite good, we had the house Peruvian ceviche, and it also was quite good. My wife had the fish with calamari on top and she enjoyed it. I have the Peruvian steak with, rice and sweet plantains, and my steak was overdone, but it had been a long day and I was in no fuss to have it done again. The bathrooms were spotless and modern, and we had no problem finding parking on a Friday night. The combination of both Mexican and Peruvian dishes was somewhat disheartening, in that they should focus on one or the other.

Service at the bar was great. Food arrived faster than expected, but I had also got there as their night was winding down. My friends and I were originally going to eat here for Cinco de Mayo, but when I got there at 6:45, I was told it would be a 3.5 hour wait. They had a DJ outside pumping out fast and upbeat music for the party and an outside margarita stand for grab and go drinks. When I arrived back just after 9, I had told them to take us off the list. She informed me that they tried calling me. Nothing came through on my phone, but she did show her call log and sure enough, it showed they called me around 8:20. My friends and I probably would have stayed to eat here originally had we been given a more realistic wait time guesstimate. An hour and a half wait vs 3.5 hours is much more feasible. Oh well. I'm sure I'll be back in the future. I've always enjoyed Anejo.

Greeted and sat right away- 5 of us. Hostess nice, server nice. Right away had two large bowls of chips and two types of salsa brought to us. Chips were good, just added salt. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. And we were patient, super patient. It was a Friday, but it was not overly crowded, like I said - seated immediately around 7:40. Drinks, took over 30 minutes for a pineapple one and three skinny- we joked the food would arrive first, but we were very wrong. Then, the waitress waited for us to try- I think it was a newer person at the bar. We tried to like it, but somehow it tasted like flat sprite.our server took them away and made us them herself. Now, those were great. Small side of guac was brought after that- meant to go with the meal, but we were so hungry we just ate with the chips. It was very good- fresh tasting. Then we waited. And waited some more. Asked about the food, then waited some more. Finally, we cut our losses and asked for the check minus the food that never came. The band was starting next door and we wanted to celebrate the bday girl. Pic 1, text just after 8pm- shows me joking that I was going to eat my friends food since she was headed over from next door and taking a bit and we had ordered 10 minutes prior. Pic 2, text shows us giving up- 9pm. So over an hour wait on food that never arrived - even if busy that would be a deal breaker. We were excited to try it too- disappointed.

So overall, the food was decent but a bit salty, and the flavor didn't really stand out. To me it had more of a chain restaurant feel, kind of like something you'd get at Chili's rather than a more authentic Mexican spot. Drinks were mixed for us. My wife had margaritas and enjoyed them, honestly I don't think she's ever met a margarita she didn't like. I tried the Old Fashioned, which just wasn't my style. It tasted more like Fireball on the rocks than a traditional Old Fashioned. One thing they definitely did right was the service. Even though the restaurant was crowded, the wait staff was friendly, attentive, and stayed on top of everything the whole time. Overall, it's a cool spot with a fun vibe and good staff. If you're looking for a lively place and want to see some flaming food presentations, it's worth checking out.

Since I'm from Southern California, I was expecting some type of hot sauce like all of our taco shops offer, but sadly there was none. I would have loved a little spice, but the tacos were very good with the onions. I was pleasantly surprised they were out of cilantro, which for me makes me happy since I'm not a fan of the stuff. Overall it was a good meal and for Florida, they were pretty decent birria tacos.
