About Leche de Tigre

A cozy outdoor dining area under a transparent, tunnel-like canopy. The space has wooden tables, wicker chairs, hanging rattan lamps, and green plants. Soft natural light fills the area, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Leche de Tigre is one of the hottest new restaurants in DowntownSan Antonio. The three brothers who own and operate the establishment specialize in the Peruvian cuisine of their heritage.

Goals

A person is holding a spoon, ready to scoop a colorful dish with avocado, tomato, and greens on a wooden table. Surrounding the plate are various drinks and dishes, including a cocktail and a bowl of food.

The LDT team knew that press and media coverage would be essential to make sure their opening was featured in prominent news outlets that would then lead to reservations and ensuring the restaurant was a hot ticket.

The Eat it Up team composed the opening strategy for the restaurant such as curating invite lists for media and tastemakers, social media teasers, and public outreach.

This hit the team’s key goals of: social media coverage, building restaurant buzz, encouraging an audience of dedicated fans, and securing press mentions with the ultimate goal being to earn notoriety and acclaim for their executive chef.

Execution

Press Mentions

Eat it Up’s opening strategy ultimately had the desired effect and led to multiple write-up’s in local news outlets and regional outlets.

The Benefits

Consistent content is key to increasing a brand’s digital footprint. After a year of management, Leche de Tigre is now one of the top results when the phrase is Googled, despite the phrase’s popularity.

“Leche de tigre” is the phrase that refers to the citrus-based marinade that cures the seafood in ceviche. In Peruvian culture the elixir is often served alongside ceviche in a small glass and believed to be both a hangover cure as well as an aphrodisiac.

The fact that a San Antonio restaurant can now be found amongst the top searches despite the terms historied past is a true testament to content creation!
