    PROs: Loved the innovative combination of ingredients. The dishes were well-prepared and presented, and the service was attentive. CONs: While tasty, the two mains we ordered (lombo saltado and arroz con mariscos) were over-salted for our tastebuds (and I love salty food).

    The problem for me is that I set my expectations way too high. The yuka fries did not come out hot, but the dipping sauce was exceptionally good. I ordered two entrées, the pork shoulder, and the beef dish. The pork shoulder was OK, but nothing special. The beef dish was so overly salted. I should’ve sent it back, but I took it home instead of figuring I could resurrect it. I just feel for the price that I paid that it was overpriced and under delivered.

    Watched the episode on Check, Please, and was very excited to try this place. Got there 5 minutes before our reservation. The place was maybe 60% full both inside and out—about 5 empty tables--it's a small place. We stood in front of the counter for several minutes before the person who was there acknowledged that we were there...the attitude was that we were a nuisance to this server rather than a customer. Once he found us in the reservation system...was very emphatic -in a stern way- that we had to wait five minutes. It was a bit off-putting...but I told my partner we are 5 minutes early and he seems a bit stressed. We waited right outside the door for them to seat us. 5 minutes passed, 10 minutes passed about 15 minutes into waiting (with open tables) when who I think is the chef walk by very fast and said --"your table is coming up" A party of four or five people show up-my guess is they had a reservation--they were seated immediately right in front of us. No acknowledging that we had been waiting...we walked away and went to Marcia down the block, which was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long while.

    Love these guys and what they're doing. The chef is very hands-on, even doing the shopping at numerous places every week, including his local farmer's market. Sit at the bar if you can (only four stools, sadly) and watch the kitchen in action. And when it comes to the small but well-curated wine list, put yourself in the hands of the staff, who are passionate about the pairings. Our waiter is a former chef who now works front of house - we think it's because he had too much personality to keep him in the back of house!

    This was our second time at Pucquio. We tried different dishes because everything was so good the first visit. We started with plantains and Tiradito cebiche. My husband ordered the pork shoulder while I ordered the tacu tacu, a delicious seafood medley with rice and beans. For dessert, we got the rice pudding brulee. We recommend letting them choose the wine for each dish. They also make excellent cocktails.

    It’s a great Peruvian restaurant located off Broadway in Oakland nicer area. Carlos and Kevin are super hospitable, warm and efficient. The gourmet food is super tasty. The lomo saltado is amazing!!! The sangria was delicious. I will comeback soon! For your birthday they give you sparkling wine. Amazing experience! Mariano Valdivia
