"Llama Inn works for all sorts of different situations, and it’s not impossible to get into—so we find ourselves recommending it to people all the time. The very good Peruvian food, which you eat in a relaxed dining room full of plants and natural light, ranges from ceviche to beef tenderloin covered in french fries. And if you need another reason to plan your next double date or group dinner here, know that there’s an excellent rooftop patio situation as well." - team infatuation

New Restaurant Papa San Opens in NYC With Peruvian Japanese Food Near Hudson Yards | Eater NY

"A modern Peruvian restaurant in Williamsburg whose team is opening another spot this month; the restaurant is the origin point for the group’s exploration of Peruvian Nikkei flavors referenced in the new Hudson Yards izakaya." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Upbeat, modern and cool, Llama Inn pays respect to all styles of Peruvian cooking but with the technical flair of Chef Erik Ramirez who has trained in New York’s top restaurants. The result is always fresh, fun and spontaneous cuisine that elevates Peruvian food. Begin your meal with one of the variations of ceviche, ranging from seafood to vegetarian styles. The asparagus is punctuated with a bracing potato leek leche de tigre. Next up is the crispy and cheesy jalapeño tequenos. The pork collar escabeche rounds out the meal or if you're eating with a crowd go for the decadant lomo saltado. Finish with a slice of their key lime pie." - Michelin Inspector
