Llama Queen

"Incredible east side vibes without feeling over-crowded. Service was spectacular: warm, knowledge, engaging. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars for the ambiance and service (both excellent) but the food needs work. It is bland and borderline flavorless, though presentation is lovely. We ordered the ceviche sampler and one was good (the Nikkei) but the other two were highly forgettable and tasted the same. Yucca fries were fried well, but flavorless. The beet salad was ridiculously priced ($16) for what it was: flavorless kale and 4 thin beet slices. The Causa Limeña we ordered was also flavorless and had a long hair in it. The Chicha Morada was good… Maracuya was not. On top of all this, the prices are quite high. I would come back for a cocktail MAYBE, but only for the vibes. The food needs work if they want to survive in Austin."

"Llama Queen, a Peruvian culinary gem, presents an exquisite array of flavors, artfully combining tradition with a modern twist. The star dishes, Aji de Gallina and Lomo served with fettuccini, are a testament to the kitchen's mastery, offering a symphony of taste that is both rich and satisfying. Accompanying these delights, the Yucas con Huancaina are a revelation, their crispiness perfectly complemented by a harmonious sauce, creating a memorable taste experience. While the wine selection may not astonish, it serves as a sharp, refreshing backdrop to the meal. However, it's the Llamarita that truly captivates, with its sweet yet potent character, proving to be an excellent companion to the meal's vibrant flavors."

"I just had my first time at llama queen. I was super impressed by the service. I got to meet Caroline (she was my server) super nice and welcoming, great vibes. Then had the chance to meet Diego, the manager. Really friendly and welcoming as well ! Towards the end of my amazing meal (which by the way was delicious ) Chef Eduardo comes out to say hi and sends me an amazing dessert. The overall experience was fantastic. Needless to say. Peruvian food is on of the best in the world so you guys gotta go and try it by yourselves !! Highly recommend!!"

"This used to be Llama Kid but they recently did some rebranding but the food is still excellent the meat in any dish is always so tender and takes no effort to cut through. Also the ceviche is a must all of them are the perfect balance of acidity and fresh seafood"
