About 5 Esquinas

5 Esquinas brings the flavors of Lima's historic 5 Esquinas neighborhood to Alton Road in South Beach, serving classic Peruvian dishes alongside a sushi menu. Owner Henry Vera built the restaurant as a tribute to his hometown, and the kitchen turns out ceviche mixto, lomo saltado, jalea mixta, and arroz con mariscos in generous portions at casual-dining prices in the $20-70 range.

The dining room has a trendy, casual atmosphere with a full bar serving pisco sours and cocktails, plus outdoor seating and occasional live music. Families are welcome with a kids' menu and high chairs, and the space is wheelchair accessible with free parking out front, a rarity in this part of Miami Beach.

Guests frequently mention the leche de tigre shot, chocolate cake, and the warmth of the servers who walk newcomers through an unfamiliar menu. Whether stopping in for a quick lunch or settling in for a full dinner with friends, it's a dependable spot for Peruvian comfort food just blocks from the beach.
