ABOUT US

At Taipá, we believe that cuisine is not just food: it is memory, identity, and culture to be shared.

We were born with the dream of bringing to Ecuador the heart of Peru—diverse, mestizo, and vibrant—where every dish holds a story and every recipe is a legacy passed down through generations.

We are a space where tradition finds new forms, where technique embraces emotion, and where every detail—from the fire to the table—honors the spirit of a nation that cooks with its soul.

OUR GASTRONOMY

Our culinary proposal is a journey to the heart of Peru, a meeting between traditional Peruvian cuisine and the subtle elegance of Nikkei cuisine— the perfect fusion of Andean heritage and Japanese sensitivity.

Each dish is born from a deep reverence for its origin: fresh ceviches that celebrate the sea, ajíes that tell the story of our lands, broths that smell like home, and Nikkei techniques that refine the experience with precision and harmony.

At Taipá, we cook to evoke emotion. We cook so that every bite awakens memories, so that the table becomes a bridge to Peru, and so that each experience leaves a lasting impression.

OUR CHEF & CEO

Chef Moisés Velásquez Quezada Behind every detail, every dish, and every Taipá experience is the vision and sensitivity of Moisés, a chef by profession, a creator by vocation, and a passionate guardian of Peru's culinary heritage.

Moisés is a perfectionist when it comes to flavor: he observes, refines, balances, searches, and searches again, until each dish says exactly what it should say. His cuisine is not improvised: it is felt, thought out, and breathed.

As General Manager, he guides Taipá's growth with the same dedication with which he cares for his cuisine: with respect for culture, love for detail, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

His essence is in every corner of the restaurant, in every dish that arrives at the table, and in every sensation that the diner takes away with them.
