The food was absolutely outstanding--the Ceviche was incredibly fresh with the perfect citrus zing, and the Lomo Saltado was tender, smoky, and seasoned to perfection.

The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly without being intrusive. They offered great recommendations on the menu made sure every detail of our meal was perfect.

I am all in on Lima 32 Peruvian restaurant. Back in January, I noticed the Lima 32 sign in the old…read moreTacos mi Nachos space in Meriden. Something about the sign aesthetic made me think it would be a good place. I Yelp-Searched it, and Lima 32 damn near had a perfect rating based on less than 50 reviews. I'm a Food Blogger. So I try to explore new places and avoid repeating spots I know. I've eaten at Lima 32 three times since January. Lima 32 is a small casual Peruvian spot located in a very small plaza in Meriden. Parking is tough, but they've done a nice job with the aesthetics inside. Lima 32 is also available on DoorDash within a certain area. I've now had the Lomo Saltado, the Arroz Con Marisco and the Chaufa de Pollo. Best Lomo Saltado I've ever had, and I've had a really expensive one at a famous CT spot. It's basically a beef and veggie stir fry. You can see the chef making it with fire in the pan if you have the right seat. The soy and oyster sauce based glaze is good salty. So flavorful and everything is perfectly cooked. Best Arroz Con Marisco I've ever had. It's a saucy Peruvian paella. The sauce (Aji Amarillo) has a well rounded creamy pepper flavor. The seafood, like crab, mussels and shrimp really stand out. I suspect the seafood varies depending on what's available. The Chaufa de Pollo, a Chinese fried rice style dish, was very good too. Huge pieces of chicken. Eat it with the delicious Aji Verde sauce. Is Lima 32 hidden? I don't know. But it sure the hell is a gem. It's must visit. 5 Stars

I love peruvian, particularly Saltado but I don't eat beef anymore so I went with the pollo saltado and let me say it was better than 95 percent of saltados I have had including the lomos. I didn't miss the beef! The chicken was juicy and tender the fries were deliciously soaked in the most amazing sauce. It was drinkable that sauce. The creamy green sauce was a great addition to the dish but it was so good on its own. The portion size was enormous! Easily had three meals out of it. My spouse had the pollo chaufa and we both thought it was one of the best chicken fried rice type dishes ever. The fried nuts (seeds?) they provide complimentary were sooo addictive. It was hard not to keep eating them. Finally the service was really excellent. The woman who waited on us could not have been kinder and more friendly. 10/10 all around great food and service.

The empanadas were large and underwhelming. There is a lot of variety in empanadas across Latin America, but these were just middling at best and completely lacking in flavor. The ground beef had a good amount of underwhelming filling. However, the two with chicken in them were more dough than anything else and pretty insipid.

We actually didn't know anything about and what they served. Inside was beautifully decorated and we were seated quickly. We looked at the menu and saw they served Peruvian food. We never had it. We started with the trio empanadas and each one was delicious. If I had to choose one I pick the chicken as the top empanada. I didn't know what to order for the entree and the waiter recommended the Seco De Tría and Lomo Saltado. One was a short rib and the other was a beef stir fry. Both were very delicious! The waiter was very attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back here again.

This is one of our favorite restaurants because the food is always delicious…read more However, I need to express my concern about the quality of the service during our visit yesterday. Our server was very respectful and polite but very slow and not attentive at all. We went early (around 5:30 pm) and they were not busy at all. We wanted salt and lemon. Since our server was nowhere to be found, we asked the host. He said he'd bring those two things himself but minutes later I saw him cleaning a table. Some time went by, we reminded him about the salt and the lemon; he said he thought our server had taken care of that. Eventually, the host brought those two things to us. By that time, we had almost finished our meals. Diners started coming in and our server proceeded to take their orders. At least we could see him around. If that one server was so slow when there were just 4 or 6 customers, I don't know how he could handle any more. The host was also very polite and friendly. We've been to this restaurant several times before and had always been pleased with the quality of the service. Yesterday's situation took us by surprise. I hope management takes steps to improve the service. Their food continues to be excellent.

I was going to say this is the worst Peruvian place I've eaten at in the world, and I've eaten at…read moremaybe 3 or 4 dozen, but that would be inaccurate. This is to Peruvian food what Lean Cuisine is to Italian food, or what Chat GPT3 is to good prose. If someone were to put a gun to my head and ask what nationality the food was from, I may guess that an amateur from, say, Fairfield Connecticut read a cookbook from the 1950s and made a first attempt at something vaguely Latin American, but it would be a coin flip as to which country. Sauces were entirely wrong, and universally awful. Fish was a breaded mush. Calamari was so rubbery that it felt like it was made of the same material as a super ball. On the plus side, ambiance (except for the spiders on the wall) was really upbeat, the servers were kind, and the white rice was properly cooked.

There is a single table inside and outside in case you can't wait to get back to your home to eat.
