    Grilled Trout Special August 23, 2026 IG: @pharmingfoodies
    Joyce Y.

    My parents recommended this place and we came to celebrate my dad's birthday! We came on a Sunday night and called ahead to make a reservation for 6 pm for 4, although it probably wasn't needed. The menu has a decent number of options, not too overwhelming, however definitely suggest waiting to hear about the specials as there are many and none are on the menu. We ended up ordering the Ossobuco, Duck Breast, and Grilled Trout (all specials). Ossobuco: Super flavorful, very tender, comes with a rich silky sauce that you'll want to mix all of your rice with (comes with a side of white rice). Highly recommend! Duck Breast: Came in a cast iron pot over rice (almost like a paella) and a side of marinated red onion. Our server suggested mixing the onions into the rice which was a good move. I did wish there was more duck to rice, because the amount of rice it comes with is huge compared with the two pieces of duck which didn't have much meat on them. The rice quickly became the star of the dish, and I'd still recommend it even if you don't get much duck because of the rice. We ended up not even eating much of our white rice because of how good this rice was! The crispy bits at the bottom were excellent! Grilled Trout: Good, although nothing mindblowing. But definitely good to have a lighter, healthier dish to balance out everything else we ordered. The fish was flaky and cooked well. They brought out alfajores (Peruvian cookie) with a candle and sang happy birthday for my dad which was nice. Very sweet caramel filling on the inside and although not my type of dessert, it was very unique. Kind of surprised that it was both me and David's first time here after hearing about it for so long, and definitely a place we would visit again!

    Aji de Gallina
    Susana G.

    We arrived on a Saturday and there was no wait. It's not a stand alone restaurant, it's located in a shopping center and parking might be limited when it's full. Luckily, there was no wait time when we arrived and our waitress took our order right away. The food did not take long to come out but after I ate the aji de gallina, I had some stomach pains. The flavor of the other plates were good but it can be pricey. The environment is nice and can be loud, if you want classical music with low lighting this place is not for you. Overall, it was ok...food can be overpriced and FYI they do not take American Express for payment.

    I was so looking forward to trying this spot based on what others shared, reviews and how busy it was. It wasn't great. Lack of flavor and rice seemed overcooked. And the music system is overworked. It's unnecessarily loud for dinner time but it may be to help get people in, serve them, eat fast and get out. The lemonade was good.

    Bistec a la Limena

    The only reason why this is not a one star is because the server was actually decent. The rest of the experience wasn't ... The place was loud, the food is expensive and quite frankly does not live up to the expectations. I ordered the bistec and it looked dry and not even hot - as if it's been recycled. They just slapped in the tomato salad (without any dressing), rice and soggy fries. Oh and actually they didn't bring ketchup until I asked so let me actually floor the review to one star. I would encourage you to instead check out Barra Brava in Rockville. It's way better on all levels.

    Jalea Mixta
    Angie C.

    Another excellent experience at La Limeña in Rockville. We started with several appetizers and everything was outstanding. The crab causa was fresh and well balanced, and the fish tiradito had great flavor with the perfect level of acidity. For the mains, the Mondonguito a la Italiana was excellent--tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The Jalea Mixta was crispy, generous, and served with fresh red onions, cancha, and a great tartar sauce. The Surtido juice was also delicious--fresh, refreshing, and perfectly blended. A special mention to Mónica, who took care of us again and provided exceptional service. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

    Tamalito Verde Norteño con Pollo? (Not green, with pork rather than chicken)
    Beth M.

    Lovely restaurant with great service and great food. We had dinner here on Saturday night, and it was fairly crowded, but there were some tables available and we were seated immediately. We ordered two appetizers and one entree. Everything was delicious. The first appetizer was: Pastel de Choclo con Carne, which was my favorite - so very delicious! I don't know if there were any raisins or boiled egg in it (versus how it was described on the menu); perhaps there were, but they were blended so thoroughly they left no trace. I think the second appetizer was Tamalito Verde Norteño con Pollo, although the meat inside was pork, not chicken (and it wasn't green). Perhaps it had a different name on the in-restaurant menu (which I regretfully did not photograph). Regardless, we enjoyed it. The entree was Aji De Gallina, one of our favorites from dining at other Peruvian restaurants. It was quite creamy. The dessert menu was intriguing, but we had overindulged (and still had leftovers to take home), so we did not partake. We do plan to come back again. And next time, I intend to leave room for dessert!

    Arroz chaufa de pollo and aji de gallina.
    Cornelius G.

    My girlfriend suggested this and I was iffy walking in as I wasn't much in the mood to sit down in an upscale leaning restaurant. I ordered arroz chaufa de pollo and it was absolutely splendid. My girlfriend ordered aji de gallina, which was very creamy. It's nothing I would order, but she likes food with sweetness. She also ordered flan for dessert. Aside from a great meal experience, the staff was even better. Our waiter, Jose, was a true pleasure. A hostess visited our table twice to make sure everything was going well. Their staff is immediately available upon a slight glance. The decor and atmosphere is cultural and very warm. This is truly a gem, hidden in a small strip mall. I'm not from the area, and my girlfriend mentioned this was once a hole in the wall that has been considerably upgraded. This is a really really really good restaurant with a superb staff. I look forward to returning.

    Customer service, follow up from waiters, follow up from floor managers, employee attention, the floor to wall decorations, cleanliness, FOOD QUALITY, and the options ALL EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS! I was over impressed as was my wife and the attention on my birthday was excellent! When you visit this place I can assure you, you will be over pleased. I wouldn't get a picture but the Maracuya Mousse Dessert was a great way to end the night.

    Churrasco a la Parrilla
    LoiLoi F.

    Just okay. From trying their Bistec a la Parrilla to their Bistec a lo Pobre, Limena just felt like any other Peruvian restaurant. Although their interior is beautiful and the staff are friendly, their food was just not worth the 30 min drive.. Maybe we just needed to other plates.

    Best authentic Peruvian food in the DMV. Can't go wrong with any choice. Great cocktails too! Love their maracuya sour.

    Osobuco arroz chocli
    WILLIAM P.

    First time back since COVID-19 and we were not disappointed. There were ten of us and we were all well served. We shared Civiche Mixto and Arroz Mariano's, my favorites, Peruvian Sangria and Cusquena, a Peruvian lager, Bistec Limena, Lengua Guisada, Osobuco arroz chichi, Panceta Crocan, Choclo con queso, side Papa Dora's, Soloterito de Quinua and Degustacion de postr. Every dish was beyond satisfying. The ambiance was relaxed and the family conversations were animated. Thanks to the staff and management for making this a memorable experience. Peru

    Great food and service! This is our first time trying Peruvian food and we were pleasantly surprised. We ordered a Tacu Tacu con Lomo and Aji de Gallina. Both dishes were delicious.

    Arroz con Mariscos
    Rodolfo L.

    Started things off with the Ceviche mixto. The fish, calamari, & shrimp are incredibly fresh to the palette. They have just the right amount of lemon juice. However they put a comical amount of onions on top, made me question if I ordered ceviche or onions with a side of ceviche as an appetizer. Jokes aside, the seafood quality made up for it. 4/5 For the main entree, I ordered the Arroz con mariscos. This might be their best plate on the menu (in my opinion). It's their take on a Spanish paella with Peruvian flavors & spices. Rice was seasoned perfectly. The fish was surprisingly my favorite protein on the dish because it literally melts in the your mouth, it's buttery soft. Shrimp and calamari were also very good. The only underwhelming part were the clams and oysters, they simply didn't hit the mark for me. 4/5 For dessert I went with the vanilla flan. I was confused why it arrived with the tip cut off. As if someone took a bite from it. Out of the hundreds of flans I've tried in my life, it's always a perfect triangle or a circular mound shape. I'm assuming it's because of the mold used, but was disappointed none-the-less for $9 a slice arriving like this. The flan was creamy at the top but very curdled / lumpy for the bottom half. This is a clear sign it's been overcooked & not properly made. I should have said something but didn't feel like complaining. Disappointing dessert. 2/5 My parents and I ordered about 8 plates total (4 to eat there & 4 to go). What really grinded my gears is they wanted to charge us for some sauce cups to go. I'm sorry but if you don't charge for refilling the sauces while eating in, at the very least each to-go entree should include 1 of each sauce. They even wanted to charge my mom for a slice of lime with her water. Nickle & diming your customers is a huge turn off for me. Especially when we spent way beyond your average patron. Because of the disappointing dessert and nickle/dime policy, this place is an honest 3/5 for me.

However, I will say that the quality is fair for the price. You're paying for a sit-down restaurant-quality dish in a more casual setting. At my latest visit, I came on the weekend with a friend for lunch. We ordered via the kiosks. They ask for your name and phone number and you will get a text when your order is ready. They'll also call your name aloud. There was a steady flow of customers while we dined in ~ good for them! I ordered the fish tacos combo, which comes with a drink and two sides. For my sides, I ordered the rice and tomato feta salad. The rice is lightly seasoned... better than no seasoning but still not super flavorful. It was just barely a step above plain rice. I also didn't care for the tomato feta salad - I'm more of a caprese fan, so I think the feta threw me. They have a soda fountain machine offering Pepsi products and some Stubborn Soda flavors - sodas made with cane sugar instead of all those artificial sweeteners. I enjoyed the battered fish of my fish tacos, but I will note that they made my tacos incorrectly. The picture showed pickled onions on the tacos. I opted for everything and yet no pickled onions were provided. Assembly error aside, the fried fish was well executed. The fish was moist on the inside, and the batter had that audible crunch without being greasy. I would've liked some more acid with the tacos (maybe that's where the pickled onions come in), but I was able to request lemons and they gave extra tartar sauce. We also got a side of the Cajun shrimp skewers which were really well done! The shrimp was tender and a little crisp from the grill. The Cajun flavor definitely gave it some kick. Highly recommend! The food is made fresh, and the restaurant is 100% sustainable seafood. Kudos! Other notes: - The lobster roll is tiny, but that's not surprising. - I love the garlic butter sauce! You can't go wrong with choosing this sauce for your fish. - The app was glitchy. I kept trying to learn more about different menu items, but it kept crashing on me. - Once you join their email/text program, they spam you with coupons. I'm all for coupons/deals, but their outreach is excessive.

Sign up for their rewards on their app, you get a free protein bowl! The fish plates are good. Tried the Branzino and Salmon/Swai combo plates. I like the garlic sauce on the fish. You choose your two sides. The sweet potato fries was great! My daughter really loved the shrimp and avocado salad she got it twice in two days! The fish tacos also didn't disappoint. They do offer chicken for the non-seafood eaters. Happy they opened their first East Coast location here in Rockville!

One thing is that my empty plates were piling up before they were taken away, but I guess it was Saturday and they were busy. Overall the food selection was amazing. I only wish their desserts are better... I thought the little roll/balls in the frig was mochi... but no... it was something with unpleasant texture - they tasted like silicon...
