Tambo 22

Thanks to fellow helpers, we decided to have a late dinner.This is a small place with tables outside for dining al fresco. Off street parking is the only option. We were fortunate to find a spot close by.Upon entering, we were quickly attended. You can make reservations, but this was spur of the moment and we were fortunate to get a table. Menus were left and we had time to review and decide. Our waitress took our drink orders and meal orders too.We ordered the Chicha morada pisco sour and boy was it good! Pisco packs a punch so I only had one. You could taste the hint of cinnamon in it, mmm. I had the filet mignon Lomo Saltado. On the sides were the rice and French fries. I usually use hangar meat when I make Lomo. So I can tell you this elevates the dish. It was SO good. My husband had the Pollo a la Brasa which he enjoyed. And the servings looked pretty in their dish. The waitress was warm, friendly and on point. We had a delightful evening.Prices were high. However, we expected that. And the portions were enough to finish, not family style. We expected this, since we are a couple looking for an intimate place with finer cuisine not expecting to bring home a doggy bag. They Delivered! So in our book, they are a 5. Excellent food

Yelp reviews did not disappoint, this is a true gem! Amazing cocktails (pisco sour chicha morada) and phenomenal food. I had the ceviche, of which I could have happily had another portion. The fish, octopus, and shrimp were shreds and delicious. The lomo salado (steak) was recommended and it was melt in your mouth delicious. Can't wait until I'm back in town to eat here ago . Truly a phenomenal find and wonderful food.

OH LET ME COUNT THE WAYS I LOVE THEE! IF you are an earth-loving and food inspired person, you will fall in love with this little gem (It IS little). Chef Duarte is committed to sustainability and to provide a better life for indiginous Peruvian habitats, providing a way to cultivate the land and engage in regional entrepreneurialship. Their products go from their loving hands to the table and around the world. AMAZING. It's hard not to fall in love with the towering Chef with a soft manner, a smile and talent. Just amazing.But now, the food. @https://www.tastingcollective.com/ partnered with the chef to create a memorable multiple course meal that was a trip through Peruvian cuisine, considered the highest gastronomy of Latin America (but don't tell my puertorrican brethren "yo soy boriqua pa que tu lo sepas in your face patriotic" who can't understand why Puerto Rico isn't the belly button of gastronomy (albeit how delicious the food of my country is!). One word is the most famous ambassadorial dish for Peru - CEVICHE. And the Chef delivered a delicately sliced, aji amarillo kissed, cool and sweet scallop that made me cry. FOR MORE! It was simply SPECTACULAR!Peruvian "street food" followed with the most delicate "pincho" (skewer) piece of melt-in-your-mouth steak. One bite (ok, he gave us two) and you were hooked. AHHHHH but the killer was the Halibut "Sudado" (a mildly spicy broth for the gods!) with yucca and vegetables. The fish was so tender, moist and flavorful. Toes curled, people gasped - a true "When Sally met Harry" moment... Of course, no self respecting latino could get away without rice and the crispy dish consisting of a rice and bean "crunchy and fluffy" cake-ish thing topped with the king of flesh PORK BELLY with CRISPY chicharron... yeah, he went there. Rice was a TAD undersalted, but he's forgiven. For every dish we inhaled, the outstanding loving care from the staff and his stories of passion for the land, his culture, people, flavors... yeah, he can get away with anything.Alfojares for dessert.Drawback? Yes. Its in Chelsea. Not bad if you live in Boston. Terrible if you come in from the burbs. And street parking. Yuck. But as I said, he had us at scallop tiradito (THE FIEND!), and the bar served THE BEST Pisco Sour I have had since MIO in DC closed and Chino served my last one - BUMMER.It's an ambassadorial destination. If #granniehudsoneatsout defied traffic, knarly roads, masshole unpleasantries to get here and tells you its good. Grannieyelpie knows what she's talking about. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO!

Trout dish was piping hot and could use a bit more flavor. Risotto was incredibly flavorful and the highlight of all our meals. Chicken rice was tasty. Old fashioned decent. Large portions and quick service. Parking can be a bit tricky.

Food was great! Service even better. Went there for a private lunch, so got to try a little of everything they brought out. Family style.

Food 5/5 Service 2/5 Price 4/5Food: This is my second time visiting Tambo 22. Once again the food and drinks were fantastic. Lots of flavor, super authentic and the best pisco sour around! Service: Booked a table ahead of tome, although it didn't look like you needed too. Then when I showed up the hostess, very nice girl, was about to seat us. Then, who I'm assuming is the manager, came running over and said we couldn't sit at that table.... There was almost no one there... said it was reserved. I would expect that someone would show up shortly after. No... not until I received the check did anyone show up for that table. He then went over and greeted them, showing clear favoritism, as though they are friends. I really don't like that kind of behavior. The waitress was nothing special, and I didn't order another drink because she never asked me. I sat my entire dinner with out a drink. Price: is what I would expect for the quality of the food and presentation.

My first time eating Peruvian food. Didn't really know what to try, so went full recommendations from bartender. Great food and even better service. Will definitely be back!

My wife and went last night with a couple of our good friends. The food was top notch! We all thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers and the dishes we ordered. It is a hidden gem that I would highly recommend. Both the food and atmosphere were well worth it and I'm already looking forward to going back.

This is a gem!! Forget about the North End and skip the touristy others. Outstanding service, first class cocktails, and genuine cuisine. Finding the Tambo 22's is why we all use Yelp! Ceviche, lamb and Chilean Sav blanc all exceptional. Don't miss it!
