New restaurant Llama Kid invites guests to enjoy Peruvian cuisine in a beautifully decorated, relaxed environment.
For a restaurant that started as a virtual brand in a ghost kitchen in September 2021, Llama Kid has had quite the glow-up, opening as a beautifully appointed brick-and-mortar on East Cesar Chavez just three months later. Situated on the site of a former Austin Daily Press sandwich stand, Austin's newest Peruvian restaurant is a chill oasis on the Eastside.
The"Healthy Inca" portion of the menu is home to two very delicious salads, beet and quinoa. The beet salad features those earthy gems tucked into a heap of massaged kale and dressed with a light aji amarillo vinaigrette topped with queso serrano and cancha corn. It manages to be both hearty and light, with a pleasant textural interplay of crunchy, chewy, and tender.
The desserts at Llama Kid lean more savory than sweet. The picarones, fried dumplings swimming in a syrup made from maple syrup, star anise, cinnamon, and other deep fall flavors, remind me of gulab jamun, only heavier and far less sweet. Perhaps the triple-digit temperatures affected my enjoyment, but I didn't love this dessert. I would have loved to see some alfajores, arroz con leche, or crema volteada on offer; dessert is definitely an opportunity for growth on the Llama Kid menu.
