    I've been wanting to try the original Pisco restaurant for some time. We were nearby to the Pisco Express and decided to give it a shot for lunch. They offer lunch specials for $15.99, which comes with an appetizer, entree and a soft drink. We ordered one of those with the ceviche to start and the fried fish with yucca. I have to say the portion sizes on both of these were really disappointing. The dishes were pretty mediocre too. The ceviche only had shaved onions on it with a little sprinkle of inca corn and a tiny slice of sweet potato. The fried fish was basically fish sticks, with two small yucca strips. We also ordered the empanadas for $12, with lomo saltado with cheese. It was okay but nothing that impressive either. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place for Peruvian. It's overpriced and portions are soooo small.

    Had this place for lunch with a friend and immediately had to go check out pisco. Everything is super fresh, service is welcoming, and the decor feels very authentic.

    Yum!! I honestly was impressed small place , cosy, great service and great food. Didn't expect to have a great variety of plates . Definitely worth it. Try the pisco yum

    This is a great hidden gem! Cool place to try if you're looking for something new and exciting. Unfortunately, I cannot comment as to the authenticity but it all seemed very Peruvian legit to the untrained palate. Pisco drinks are great! They also have a couple Peruvian beers to try. The menu is diverse with many exciting things. Our food was excellent! Staff is friendly and very fast. Music is lively and energetic. Plenty of parking. Overall recommended. We will return.

    Picked up 8 Lunch Specials today for the whole office and every single one of my coworkers was blown away by how delicious everything was. In an area of overpriced regular food, this restaurant truly raises above with low prices, great portions, amazing presentation and unbeatable taste. All that with the great service and beautiful ambiance! 10/10 recommend. I would recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food or someone looking for lunch under $15 that includes an appetizer AND entree.

    What a great place! The service, decor, music, and of course the food. All the staff were so friendly and everyone is bilingual which was a plus. We tried a nice variety of things: Piscotenos - crispy dough stuffed with lomo and mozzarella cheese - they taste like cheesesteak egg rolls. Arroz con Mariscos - highly recommend! Lomo Saltado Seco Tacu Tacu lomo saltado Ceviche Drinks we got: Pisco sour Chicha sour Cusquena - Peruvian beer Inka Kola No problem parking. Will definitely be back.

    Pulpo a la braza.

    Friendly service and great food. Will be back next time I'm in town. We are so glad we found this, my parents have lived in Florida for the past 16 years and this might be the first place we go to that they plan on going back to. Piscos need a little balance, good if you are looking to get drunk, but not so much to enjoy with your meal. Nonetheless they have plenty other options I would love to try next time.

    Food was outstanding, service was excellent and ambiance was mellow and low key. I highly recommend this spot, the portions are more than enough and the taste is pricesly what you can anticipate from this cuisine.

    Why did it take me this long to try this place? Finally stopped by yesterday and had the most amazing experience. We have been to Pisco before and enjoyed that experience but we actually was surprised that we love it here more!! It is more casual and the food and drinks are just amazing! First our waiter Diego was the best!!! One of the best waiters we have ever had! So attentive and efficient, just an overall amazing person! He suggested us things to try that we would have never ordered. Drinks we had the pisco sour passion fruit To start we got the trilogia de causas: lomo saltado, ceviche, and shrimp. Wow what a way to start! Each sit ontop of what is similar to mash potato. Entree we got the pulpo La brasa and arroz con mariscos, both were absolutely delicious. Octopus was cooked perfectly, the seafood rice dish was so flavorful, it's like a risotto, absolutely delicious. We were full but took home two desserts, the chocolate torte and the flan. The chocolate was the winner!! Overall we had the most amazing time, delicious food and Diego!!!! What more could you want!

    Needles to say this place open with great expectations. And did not disappoint!!! Pisco Express is located in the lake Nona area. Such a hidden gem in very competitive food and beverage town! The plates were made quickly and the service is impeccable. We were quickly seated and welcomed. We were even offer a stand to hold our belongings. Such a. Vibe. The ambiance is chic and cozy. Nothing like a quick service experience. The place was pretty busy and the smell really caught our attention directly to the kitchen. We promptly ordered our food and the rest is history. Washed it all down with some Peruvian beer. Pilsen. And purple corn juice. Is a classic Peruvian drink! Tried various dishes Causa triple Ceviche de pescado Tallarín saltado de pollo Lomo saltado con fettuccine a la huancaína Anticuchos Pulpo anticuchero Choros a la chalaca Dessert not pictured Passion fruit cheesecake Alfajores All dishes were well made and it was scrumptious meal. We will surely plan a visit again!! Jan C

    The environment is very nice, but music was too loins for lunch time. Our waitress Rosnell was very friendly and help us with everything doubt we had. The corn snack they serve is very additive, salty and crunchy. I have never eaten leche de Tigre, so I cannot say if this is the right amount of salt, the ceviche was good, but the leche de Tigre was extremely salty and sour. My chicken with salad and rice was good and tasty. The lomo saltado tasted ok, the complain is just for the amount of protein for the price. A mix combination with 2 small pieces of meat, 2 of chicken and maybe 3 shrimps. A lot of onions and potatoes for $21. The base of the alfajor was a little burnt, dulce de leche inside was good.

    This restaurant is such a hidden gem. From the moment you walk in you're greeted with smiles and seated immediately. The ambiance was wonderful and the decor was pretty cool. The food and service was amazing. We had the best waitress who answered all of our questions about the menu. The food was tasty and flavorful. Huge portion for my partner and I. We will definitely be back again!

We started off with the appetizer that brought crab Rangoon, spring rolls, and dumplings. So good and even better with all the sauces to pair them with. Then we had the C10 platter which is this steak platter with vegetables and rice and we also had the Pad Thai. The dishes were so flavorful and the portions are very generous.

Conclusion,The restaurant change a little bit outside.Look the same inside but the taste and the warm enjoyment atmosphere doesn't there anymore. P/s:We live 20 miles away from the restaurant.We don't come here too often because of the distance.But I always bring traveling friends here whenever they visit town for try "REAL VIETNAMESE DISHES".Have family dinners(6-8 people).And host at least 2 big dinner parties per year with foodie friends(15-20 people) every year.

Tiny hole in the wall but once you're inside there is a very nice amount of seating, both tables and a barstool area to sit at. I placed an order and proceeded to sit at the bar area and wait for my food. Once it came out (super fast despite how many people were there), I understood why the sandwiches here are a little on the pricier side.

The lime mayo was outstanding! It was about $16 and we'll worth every penny. The staff was super friendly and got everything cooked and sent out to each table very quickly. I will say if you come here during peak times, be ready to take the order to eat in your car or somewhere else because the tables filled up insanely fast while I was here!

The sandwiches are really creative and actually taste good which says a lot - I feel like most places with this style over-do it. Kind of reminds me of New York City bodega subs but with a twist.

I do wish their patio had more coverage though, great little outside seating area but often the sun is beating down on you and that sucks.
