History

La Ñusta Latin Peruvian Bistro was first established as Pachamama’s Peruvian Creole Cuisine in a small food trailer in east Austin. It was successful as a food trailer and quickly established a following and great reviews.

Victor then decided to buy a historic home in Taylor, Texas to renovate and the opportunity to rent a historic building in Taylor’s downtown came-​up. Victor jumped for the opportunity to open a small bistro and La Nusta was born!

Victor, a native of el Callao, culinary palette started developing at the early age of eight when he would help his grandma cook for the family and learned the principals of traditional Creole food. Victor would accompany his grandma to «la paradita» (empty lots in the city where local merchants would sell their fresh produce and proteins); where he learned to pick the freshest products and barter. Throughout his life his passion for cooking grew and in addition to cooking traditional Peruvian food has also added his own signature dishes.
