4 /5 Lina DLC: We discovered Amar while making impromptu plans for a trip to El Paso, TX. We’re passionate about Peruvian food, and in Dallas, there aren’t many options available.
Reservations are made through OpenTable. Upon arrival, our wait time was less than five minutes. The hostess greeted us warmly and showed us to our table near the bar area. Our server approached us promptly and took our beverage order.
For dinner, we chose the Amar mixed ceviche and the Lomo Saltado. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing. The ceviche is well balanced, with flavors from octopus, fish, squid, mussels, shrimp, corn, and sweet potato blending beautifully.
We ordered the Lomo Saltado medium-rare. I’ll admit that a medium cook might bring out a bit more of the beef’s flavor, but even so, it was very tasty and tender.
Overall, I give this visit a 7.5 out of 10. It’s a solid choice for a casual outing while still elevating the concept of date night with Peruvian cuisine.
