How much does Peru love ceviche? Enough to give it a national holiday. 🇵🇪🍋 Yes, really — an entire day on the calendar dedicated to one dish.
Every June 28th, Peru celebrates Día Nacional del Cebiche — a whole country coming together to honor its most iconic plate. Think about that kind of pride. Fresh fish "cooked" in nothing but lime, brightened with onion, chili, and toasted corn, served the same proud way it's been made along the coast for generations. It's not just food to us. It's identity, celebration, and heritage on a single plate. ✨
That's the kind of love that goes into every ceviche we make. When a nation reveres a dish enough to build a holiday around it, you know each bowl carries something bigger than a recipe. It carries a country's whole heart — and we're honored to serve it to you exactly the way it deserves.
So share the pride in the comments 👇 — did you know ceviche had its own national holiday? Tag a fellow ceviche lover who'd celebrate it every single day. 🇵🇪

That deep purple drink on Peruvian tables? 🍷🇵🇪 It's not wine, it's not grape juice — it's chicha morada, and its story goes back centuries before Columbus.
Here's the fascinating part: chicha morada is made from maíz morado, a deep-purple Andean corn that Peruvians have grown for well over a thousand years. It's simmered with pineapple, cinnamon, and cloves, then cooled and served sweet and refreshing — non-alcoholic, and beloved by kids and grandparents alike. That vivid color isn't just beautiful; purple corn is rich in the same antioxidants found in blueberries. A drink that's ancient, healthy, and delicious all at once. 💜
Learning a culture through what's in the glass is just as rich as what's on the plate. Every sip of chicha morada connects straight back to the Andes. Had you ever heard of purple corn before today? Tell us in the comments 👇 — we love sharing these little pieces of Peru.

From one restaurant on Main Street in 1995 to four locations and two generations. ❤️

Fiesta began with a simple mission: share the traditional, authentic flavors of Peru with our community. More than 30 years later, we’re still a family business—and that mission means more to us than ever.

We love this business. We love the food we serve. We love the customers who walk through our doors. And we’re incredibly proud of our role as an ambassador for Peruvian cuisine and the culture and traditions behind it.

To everyone who has supported Fiesta over the years—some of you for decades—thank you. You are part of our story.

And if you’ve never tried Peruvian food before, consider this your invitation. Come hungry. Bring someone you love. We’d be honored to introduce you to Peru, one plate at a time. 🇵🇪

Ask a Peruvian from the coast what dish makes them proud, and watch their eyes light up. 🌊🇵🇪 Parihuela — the roaring red seafood stew that tastes like home and heritage in one bowl.

This is coastal Peru's crown jewel: clams, mussels, shrimp, squid, and crab simmered in a deep, homemade stock that fishermen have sworn by for generations — some even swear it can cure whatever ails you. It's bold, it's generous, and it carries the whole Pacific in every spoonful. No shortcuts, no timid flavors — just the pride of a coastline in a bowl. 🦀

We make this one with real care because it means something. It's the plate that says "this is where we come from." Peruvian friends, drop a 🇵🇪 in the comments if parihuela makes you proud of home — and come let us serve you a bowl that tastes like the coast. 👇

If you want to understand Peruvian food, you have to understand one pepper. 🌶️🇵🇪 Meet aji amarillo — the soul of the entire cuisine.

Despite its name (amarillo means yellow), it ripens to a brilliant orange, and it's in almost everything we cook: the golden sauce over papa a la huancaina, the cream in aji de gallina, the marinades, the ceviches. Here's the surprise — it looks fiery but it's more fruity and bright than blazing hot, with a flavor so distinct that Peruvian chefs consider it irreplaceable. It's been cultivated in Peru since long before the Spanish arrived, a true native ingredient. 🌎

Learning a culture through its ingredients is one of the best ways in, because every one carries a history. This little pepper connects modern kitchens straight back to ancient Andean cooking. What ingredient defines the food you grew up with? Tell us in the comments 👇 — we love these conversations.

Birthday, anniversary, graduation, baby shower, or just a full house that needs feeding — we do catering-size platters of the dishes people actually get excited about. Golden pollo a la brasa, big trays of chaufa, skewers of anticuchos, a bowl of ceviche that disappears in minutes. You set the table; we make it unforgettable. And yes — bring your own cake, blow out the candles, we're happy to host the celebration too. 🎂

The best part? You get to actually enjoy your own party instead of sweating in the kitchen all night. That's the whole point. Planning something soon? Drop the occasion in the comments 👇 or message us, and let's build a spread that makes you the hottest hostess in town. 🙌

A sauce so good it turned a humble potato into a national treasure. 💛

Papa a la huancaina blends aji amarillo, fresh cheese, and a little milk into a silky golden sauce, then pours it over tender boiled potato with a wedge of egg and a black olive on the side. Legend ties it to the vendors who fed travelers along Peru's central railway, and one taste tells you why it stuck around. 🇵🇪

You will find it at all of our Norwalk and Stamford restaurants, listed below. Is a great starter the thing that decides a restaurant for you, or is it all about the main plate?

Fiesta Westside is next to ShopRite at 1990 West Main Street on the border of Greenwich
Fiesta on Main is downtown at 249 Main Street in Stamford
Viva Restaurant is in Shippan and Cove Area at 323 Shippan Ave in Stamford
Fiesta Limeña is in the Best Buy Shopping Center at 330 Connecticut Ave in Norwalk

Before Peru ever fried a potato, it turned one into a work of art. 🥔✨

Papa a la huancaina is our golden starter, tender rounds of boiled potato under a silky sauce built from aji amarillo, fresh cheese, and a splash of milk, blended until it glows. It comes crowned with a wedge of egg and a black olive, and the story goes that it was born beside the old central railway, sold to hungry travelers crossing the Andes. 🇵🇪

At Fiesta on Main it has welcomed guests for over thirty years, served at 249 Main Street in downtown Stamford with easy parking right on Bell Street. Some call this the best first bite in all of Peruvian food. Where would you start your meal?
