Our ceviche bar where guests are able to have a much more personable experience with the chefs and the food. A Pisco bar full of talented bartenders curating amazing cocktails. Our dining room, exciting, busy, warm, and full of life. We also offer shaded front patio with a busy street and a covered back patio experience with beautiful trees surrounding us.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: The only San Antonio restaurant to earn a spot on Texas Monthly’s Best New Restaurants list in 2024, this lively Lone Star spot is where you go for vibrant dishes that celebrate chef Emil Oliva’s Peruvian heritage. Grab a seat at the bar framed by a massive tiger mural to watch Oliva whip up punchy cebiches and bold plates like arroz con mariscos with butternut squash and ají amarillo paired with one of the restaurant’s many pisco-based cocktails.

Great dishes, what we expected. The bar and kitchen were still slow, 15+ minutes for a drink and one of our dishes took nearly 30 minutes. It throws off the dining experience when you have lulls with no food or drinks on the table. But, this is what we experienced last summer so it must be their norm.

I made a reservation and gave myself 2 hours to eat dinner before my concert that was right around the corner. We had to wait for our table, the drinks took 45 minutes to reach our table and were wrong, and the staff was inattentive. The restaurant was busy but not every table was taken, they had more staff that seemed necessary to run a smooth service but everything was incredible slow. The food was ok, some dishes were better then others (don’t get the pulpo, do get the yucca) but over all is was a disappointing experience

Lily was a wonderful server, pleasant, helpful and present at the right time. Cebiche, cocktails and flan were so good. The flavors were unique and well-balanced. Everything served at the perfect temperature, which I think so many places go wrong. Lovely place to spend an evening.

My husband and I are visiting San Antonio with 2 more couples. We are all Peruvian and live in different parts of the country. We like scouting for restaurants that serve our delicious cuisine luckily landed in Leche de Tigre. We were greeted by Stefanía who was warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all the dishes on the menu, making recommendations. The food was delicious and the place very tastefully decorated . We were very pleased
