Amazing. Just amazing. We ordered the ceviche de pescado, chicharrón, pulpo a la parilla, and the lomo saltado and I recommend every single one of them. The white sangria (had peaches and maracuya) tasted great. The place only had one waiter though. You have to be really patient but at the end the food was just so good, it was impossible to feel frustrated by the wait times.
I reserved a table here weeks ago for Valentines day. They call me the night before that there won't be a regular menu and the only option is an $150 per-person five course meal. Nowhere on their website or on OpenTable did they mention this. I cannot afford that, so thanks for ruining our Valentines dinner plans.
We did the Valentines Day multi-course special. Excellent food. Excellent service.
I can't wait to go there again. This place is intimate, lively, and flavorful. Each dish that met our table was above and beyond, the star being the Lomo Saltado. The plantains, Adobo de Chancho, and Aji de Gallina we lovely additions. The staff was kind, doting, and hard working. I'm looking forward to trying the whole menu! Parking: Street parking is available. Depending on the time of day it's free or paid.
Share a few plates of Pucquio's reliably delicious spin on Peruvian street food. I've been there 7 or 8 times and it's easily the best dinner in Oakland for me. Easy parking on College Ave. Boisterous atmosphere fit for families or dates. Cozy and served by a quite charming and knowledgeable staff including the owner and head server who remember me every time. Without a doubt, go!
A cozy place with delicious Peruvian food. The presentation was great and the service lovely. I would love to come back and try other dishes on the menu.
