Reviews for Tambo Peruvian Restaurant in Oakland, CA

Good food! A good sampler of Peruvian cuisine..

Great civiche options. Fast, friendly service.

The food is excellent! The people who run the business are very nice. Warm environment.

Had a very nice experience with them. Very tasty food, and good service.

Came on time for a 7 pm reservation, waited for an hour for water and over an hour for appetizers. I don't eat beef, and we were... not warned that the chicken had been swapped out for beef empanadas. Somehow, despite the hour and a half wait, the paella cameto us cold. No compensation offered and 20% gratuity added on automatically. The waitress was kind, clearly doing her best in anunderstaffed situation, and did give us a round of drinks, after being asked, after the meal. The manager was on vacation andapparently no adjustments could be made. With the drinks we had while waiting for our food, it became quite expensive. To top itoff, we were there for a special occasion for a friend. Embarrassed to have suggested it. Food is well described in otherreviews, but beware coming with others, saw a few first dates nearby go sour from the long hungry wait! Read more
