    Social media strikes again, and wins! I stumbled across La Lima on Instagram and it was on a Top 10 Sandwiches in the USA list. Of course, we had to give it a try! It did not disappoint! The restaurant is beautiful, it feels like a tropical location. It's definitely small compared to the traffic that comes in, but they do a great job of getting through the line and getting food out quickly. I had the Sakura as it came highly recommended, and my boyfriend had the Chicharron. Both were extremely tasty and unique! I've never had a sandwich quite like this. The bread is what really sends these sandwiches over the edge. My sandwich had fresh tuna and delicious sauces/toppings. Pro tip: the salsa verde is a must! It's served down by the water and is the best I've ever had. I'd love to come back and try other options. I think the prices are comparable for the fresh ingredients and the area. You'll spend about $35 for two sandwiches, so to some this may be a deterrent. Parking was easy for us, and they do validate parking for a certain garage. I highly recommend checking out this spot!

    Tusan bowl

    Delicious!! Order at the counter and sit wherever, very casual. Super cute inside! Everyone working was super friendly. Menu is labeled with gluten free and vegetarian options. Only a couple of each. They have a cauliflower wrap instead of bread for sandwiches but I was skeptical and did not order. The sandwiches look absolutely incredible. My bowl was fantastic. Steak was cooked perfectly! The yucca fries were delicious, so crispy. They validate 1 hour of parking in the parking garage attached. I will be coming back!

    Beef sandwich

    Came for a casual lunch. The place was very busy and there was a line out the door. If you come with someone send them to get a table first because it was so crowded. You order at the counter then get a number. Your food is brought to you. We weren't too hungry so opted to share a beef sandwich. The beef sandwich: 4 stars. Hubby was pretty happy with it. Crispy bread filled with cubed marinated beef. Great flavors. Only issue is the beef kinda fall out if the sandwich. I like that the bread was not too thick. Yucca fries : 5 stars. Well done!! Tender and soft inside, crispy outside. Tastes great with the accompanying dip. Passionfruit juice: tart and refreshing. I enjoyed it well. 4.5 stars. Inca cola: has the special flavor like cola champagne (Central American cola) I would like to come back again to try their other sandwich.

    Sakura Sandwich

    We ordered some sandwiches to go for lunch at the office. Pickup was quick and easy, and the staff were friendly. The sandwiches were DELICIOUS! the sakura sammie was so fresh and tasty. We also had churros and the chocolate cake. The price point is a little higher, which reflects the elevated sandwich experience. Definitely great for a work treat. I will absolutely be back!!

    Tusan
    Leeanne A.

    I ordered the Tusan sandwich with grilled steak, Yuca fries, and chicha. Ordering is a quick counter service and then you take a number and sit anywhere. Upon first glance of receiving the sandwich I thought this was small for a $16 dollar sandwich, but a sentiment that was also mirrored by the people I was with is that, despite first glance, this was a very filling sandwich. The bread isn't fluffy or thick like a traditional sub bread or like a focaccia or a ciabatta or even like regular sliced bread. It's a very thin crusted bread with a thin soft breaded interior. The steak is cut into decent chunks and they don't skimp out on the meat so that was really appreciated. And the yuca fries don't come with many but they are THICK cut. The sandwich was absolutely delicious. The flavor was incredible and the sandwich bread allows for the perfect crusty bite and it's not too tall for a regular sized bite. You know how sometimes you order a sandwich and it's piled high with so many layered ingredients and thick bread and you have unhinge a second jaw to eat it and all of the toppings fall out? You don't have that experience here which is actually really nice. The sandwich isn't overloaded with a bunch of BS which really allows the steak to be the star of the show. The only thing I noticed was there were a few tougher pieces of meat that required more chewing but I wouldn't describe this meat as tough or unpleasant to eat by any means. Just pointing out that this is not the kind of steak that bites like butter. And the yuca fries were thick and crispy on the outside but then soft almost like mashed potato's on the inside and it was delicious. I've had yuca at several places before and these were on par with what I expected from a yuca fry. And the chicha, the purple corn drink, very sweet and spiced just as it should be. No issues Overall, I would happily return and recommend to others. The current price of the sandwich was around $16, I don't know if I'd want to spend more than that if the price increased but I felt it was money worth spent. And our parking was validated by the restaurant :)

    Crispy Yuca (4/5)
    Ian N.

    Sakura Sandwich (5/5): A refreshing sandwich with a great blend of textures. The crunchy bread, the fresh tuna, the shredded daikon, and the fried onions complemented each other perfectly. The sauce added some sweetness too. Very good sandwich! Crispy Yuca (4/5): Could've been a little crispier. The yuca was also less starchy than other yuca fries I've had. I didn't like the sauce (kinda fruity, kinda minty). RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    I read some great reviews about La Lima Sangucheria, which is a casual sandwich spot with Peruvian influence, so I was excited to try the food. I came on a Saturday for lunch, and there was a line but it moved pretty fast. Seating was a bit hard to find, both inside and outside as it is a popular spot, but we were able to grab seats on a long shared table. As for service, we got the sandwiches quicker than expected, especially with the amount of people there. My friend and I split the Chicharron and Tori Nikkei. I preferred the Chicharron as the pork belly was tasty, although I wish the skin was crispier as it had more of a softer texture. It paired well with the sauce that it came with. At first, the sweet potatoes seemed to work with the sandwich, but then the sweetness started tasting a bit weird with the savoriness of the pork belly so I just removed them near the end. The Tori Nikkei had a better combination of fillings inside, but I was not a big fan of the chicken as it tasted a bit dry. I wanted to taste the fattiness from the skin (which I think was mostly removed) and the juiciness from the meat. I will say that the bread was great! It was super crispy and tasted good on its own without any fillings. For me, this place was overhyped. I can definitely see why people would like it because there are various sandwiches with unique combinations and flavors, but it did not do much for my taste palate. However, I think that it is worth trying especially if you are looking for not so typical sandwiches in the area.

    We were looking for a simple Saturday sandwich spot however, we hit the jackpot here. Everything about this place is spectacular. You walk up and order your food and then seat yourself. Service was quick and efficient. The food came out fresh as our sandwiches were made to order. I had the chicharron which was flavorful and paired well with the sweet potatoes. My wife had the Tusan which was grilled steak. Also flavorful, very juicy. We definitely will be back to try the other options as well. As far as parking goes we had to park in the garage. There's not a lot of options for parking so be prepared to walk or park in the garage.

    I have had this place on my list for so long and have heard great things and finally got around to trying it. I ordered the Tusan Sandwich and it was great! So flavorful. Steak was tender and well seasoned. Sometimes steak on a sandwich is hard because it is too tough but not here. All the flavors worked so well together. It is a bit pricier but I'll blame it on the good quality steak. I did pick up for takeout so can't really speak to atmosphere and service.

    Great food options and vibes! From the time you walk in to the time you leave, you can feel the amazing Latin vibes. The staff is amazing and super helpful in making decisions and giving recommendations for food and dessert. Can't wait to go back and try some other options as well! If you are in the southend area make sure to hit up La Lima!

    Ashley F.

    Came here and had my usual Sakura sandwich and loved it per usual. This sandwich is literal perfection, it's light, its kinda cold but not too cold. The flavors marry together so well and I could eat this forever. I do want to eventually try other things but it's so hard when I love this one sandwich so much. If you've never been I really recommend checking them out.

    La Lima was really good--I definitely enjoyed my experience. I can't remember the exact name of the bowl I ordered, but it was full of great flavor. The only thing I would change is asking for no onions next time, just based on my personal preference. Overall, a solid spot and I'd go back!

    Butifarra sandwich
    Nicole C.

    I dropped by on a Friday to pick up lunch and quickly found out that the hype is for a reason. The food was GOOD and fresh. The restaurant itself was clean and airy and the vibe was casual. I can't speak too much to the service because I did not dine in. The sandwiches are undoubtedly the star of the show. Soooo well made and prepared. Personally, I had the vegetarian sandwich (verde fiore) and it was really great. I'd describe it as a more Latin inspired take on an eggplant parmesan sandwich. My only complaint is they didn't give me enough sauce in the to-go container for my sandwich. But the veggies were fresh and well cooked, the bread was also fresh and it was a healthy portion. My husband had the butifarra sandwich and said it had the perfect amount of meat, sauces, tenderness and flavor. They also have a selection of natural juices and a few signature cocktails as well I will 100% be returning again and next time trying cocktails. Great sandwich spot.

    Do they have highchairs for babies/kids?

    Last time I went, yes.

    Does La Lima have parking?

    There is street parking available or nearby garages. There is no free parking unless specified by the signs on the street for certain hours.

We arrived around 5:30-6:00 PM and were told the next available table wouldn't be until 8:30, so we ended up sitting at the bar instead. Luckily, the barstools were comfortable, so I didn't mind at all. The service was great--fast, attentive, and the bartenders were really friendly. The drinks were also really good. I had a lychee martini that was strong but delicious. We also tried a few of their shots--they had a unique, acquired taste. The only one I didn't enjoy was the Hierba shot because the aftertaste reminded me of licorice, which I'm not a fan of. But if you like licorice, you'd probably enjoy it. As for the food, everything was amazing. The yuca balls were a 10/10. We also had the "Pulpo Anticuchero", which was a Spanish style octopus that came with roasted potatoes that were cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, very fresh and flavorful. I ordered the arroz con mariscos (seafood rice), which included calamari, octopus, squid, and more. It was really good, and the portion size was huge--definitely enough to feed 3-4 people, so keep that in mind when ordering. The ambiance was really nice as well. The music was good and not too loud, which made it easy to enjoy the overall vibe. Overall, I'd give this place a 10/10.

    Nice place to visit. Great food. Love their drinks. Great night vibe. So much to see and LOVEread more

The restaurant itself has a charming Peruvian-inspired decor that adds to the atmosphere and gives it a unique, welcoming vibe. Although we were the only customers during the two and a half hours we were there on a Thursday night, it didn't negatively impact our experience at all. If anything, it made for a relaxed and unhurried evening. That said, it does make me wonder if the shopping plaza location might be limiting their visibility, because the restaurant definitely deserves more attention. The service was great--our waitress was very kind and attentive throughout the evening. As a nice touch, one of our friends received a complimentary birthday dessert complete with a candle, which made the night feel extra special. Overall, I'd recommend Lola to anyone looking for flavorful food and cocktails, and a cozy dining experience.

So let me start by saying the menu is large, so many different items to chose from and not only Peruvian food. I saw some Colombian and Venezuelan items. With that being said I was very shocked at the lack of standard side items. Literally rice and white rice at that, pinto beans and like one other things. All other sides are considered premium sides and those premium sides would be basic sides at like hello chicken or viva chicken. I got the 1/4 chicken, white meat with reg side of white rice and premium side of plantains. For the dipping sauce I was limited to the yellow mild sauce or the spicy hot sauce. They were all out of the green mild sauce. Just for context I arrived at 11:40, they open at 11. Not sure how they ran out so fast but I would have loved to try it because the yellow sauce was just ok and the red was cold and just spicy no real flavor. Thankfully the chicken was flavorful and juicy, the white rice was white rice and the plantains were cooked beautifully. Also the cashier was great and provided excellent service. All in all, I would visit again but no rush to go back again. Viva Chicken still takes the lead for now for me.
