VERY DISAPPOINTING!! As a native Peruvian I have ventured into many Peruvian restaurants in the Bay Area; and Piqueo’s has made it to the bottom of my list. To start it was over priced for the amount of food you get – we ordered 3 appetizers, 7 entrées, and a pitcher of chicha morada (filled only 4 glasses) – the bill was $260 if you include the tip the total was $300. Way too much for a casual dinner out. I wouldn’t mind paying that much if the food justified the prices, the appetizers were a JOKE; the “Chifles” were just potato (they gave us plain potatoes even thou the menu said purple potato), yucca, and sweet potato chips served with guacamole and a tamarind sauce…the chips were not fresh, especially the yucca was stale and no longer crisp. The “Yuquitas Fritas” were tasty and the sauce it came with was yummy, but you only got 5 gumball size stuffed yuccas for $10 – I felt robbed! To make the long bad experience short: the steak was over cooked, the salmon did not have a quinoa crust (as described in the menu), what seemed to be “Lomo Saltado” was nothing more than tasteless tough pieces of meat in a red sauce. The rest of our plates were average. I read the reviews before going to Piqueo’s especially the bad ones, and still decided to try it out…bad, bad idea. Every one of my friends was disappointed that night and swears never to go back again.
Pros: Easy parquing
Cons: Small, loud, and expensive
