This is a place i’ve been to many many times. I was with my family having a few drinks and the manager cancelled our drink order and told us to leave because there were people waiting. we were kicked out. i’ve recommended this place to many people and friends but this experience was horrific. never come here, you never know when the manager will kick you out for being there too long… They seem to serve caucasian customers with priority. we spent over $400 in less than 2 hours and they treat you like garbage

Best Peruvian Resturant in Stamford. There are many different ones to choose from but this one will not disappoint. Typically we’re there at least once a week. Food is amazing!! Staff from the time you walk in makes you feel like family.
I have been debating on wether to leave a review becuause Ive never had to write one but after very much consideratuin I thought it was a good timing, Acurio has such great food but the vibe of its employees is very disertaining! I've been their quit a few times and have always left uncomfertable. everytime i walk in the waitress and or hostess has an attitude and dosent even introduce themselves and or say Hi not only that but today when i went with a freind to go pick up their takeout order the lady helping us quit literally forgot we were their infront of us and one of the chefs in the sign had to giver her a signal to make our prescence known... the main message here is to basically teah your employes some type of proper ediquate! the first thing people see when theu walk into a resturant is the way they are approached. If you dont fix this you will lose customers!!
I have had this place bookmarked for quite some time and we finally stopped in to give them a try. The restaurant has a rather large bar area with plenty of stools. I saw them advertise a happy hour but I did not get any information about it. They have what seemed like two other areas to dine at, we were seated at a table overlooking the window in the front. Drinks and our order were taken quickly. We started off with the Chicharron de Pescado. Unfortunately, it was a little bit underwhelming. Whenever you say Chicharron you expect the sun to be crunchy and this was not. It was ok but definitely not crunchy at all. For our entrees we had the Ceviche Acuario, Churrasco a la Parrilla and a Pargo Entero Frito ( Fried Red Snapper). The Ceviche was really good. The serving size was enormous, I could not finish it all. It was very acidic and spicy which was just like I like it. My son had the Churrasco which he found to be good. It was served with rice and tostones ( plantains with a very garlicky spicy sauce). My girlfriend had the fried red snapper and she said it was delicious. For dessert we had the tiramisù, it was just ok, not a fan. This place has an extensive menu and we will definitely be back to try some other items.
Acuario used to be good. Actually, it used to be great until Eduardo took over. This family business restaurant was better administered in the past years. It seems Eduardo (owner) has a clear agenda to discriminate against Spanish speaking customers and takes priority for the caucasian customers. Closing off certain sections of the restaurant to appease customers of the non Spanish speaking kind. If you mention the issue to a manager at the restaurant, she will only say, “speak to the owner” but the owner either isn’t there or when reached, doesn’t want to speak. This restaurant needs a change in policy and management.
Very bad service, many waiters, who do not strive to provide good service, is it because the service is included in the payment of your account? and the wait is very long for the food dishes, they made us feel very uncomfortable because they wanted us to finish quickly to leave, the regular food, the grilled chicken is not very good.
I ordered the vegetables chaufas. The food was really good. The rice was cooked well. Veggies were fresh. I applied the green sauce on the rice to give it some spice. Thank me later. I like it.Food took about 15 mins and came nice and warm.Service was good until it was time to get the check. Took quite sometime but other than that. The food is really good. I like it.
Food is delicious, I plan on coming back few more times to check out the other menu items. Also, their hot sauce is must try (To take home too).
Excellent Peruvian spot in Stamford. The fish and/or shrimp and fish ceviche was out of this world! But watch the Spivey meter - because they bring some legit heat to their dishes. The bread and typical sauce was fantastic as well.
