    Latin Blessing is Peruvian cuisine. It is a blessing to the community is the taste of fresh ingredients for the local customer. The restaurant is not big. It has a few in door tables and two outdoor tables. The restaurant has authentic Peruvian cuisine that I can tell since we have taste some real food in Peru before. We got talladin Saltado with beef. The beef is really tender. Right amount of heat. The talladin noodles is awesome. Highly recommended. The spinach and basil sauce are very fresh. Well prepared. The second dish we have is the grilled beef heart. The beef heart needs to slice a little thinner to get the flavor in it. We also go a chichamorada. We have not have this drink for years. It was great to find the flavors back. Restaurant is about 4.5 stars. It is local own only one. Love it.

    The food here is really good and it's hard to find Peruvian food! I loved getting to try some things I had never tried before. The ceviche was definitely my favorite thing and I'd come back for that for sure! Our server was super sweet and attentive, but our food was a little slow coming out. The ambiance is really cute and has a nice vibe.

    I work next door so decided to try this place out for a quick lunch walked in and was greeted by a friendly couple ladies. I had been eyeing the tamales on the menu. Plenty of menus on the outside of the windows of the building. You can also scan a digital menu with your phone as well. My tamale was hot. Had a huge piece of chicken in. It was authentically wrapped with leaves and was extremely tasty. She gave me two sauces with the tamale one was sweet, The other one was kind of like a hot sauce. Mix them both up and just added to the flavor of the tamale. Plenty of seating inside as well as the sidewalk out front. Only peruvian restaurant I know in the area. And they advertise that. If you are looking for something different.. Give them a shot.

    La comida no es la gran cosa, tiene un sabor normal, no volvería para nada... Los costos están muyyyy elevados para la calidad de comida... fui con una amiga y la verdad que se demoraron en la preparación de la comida a pesar del lugar estar vacío, la comida grasosa... la porción pequeña y los precios uffffff demasiado caros. No recomendaría este restaurante.

    This place got impressive, authentic Peruvian food. It located in a strip plaza next to Home Depot and it is the only restaurant in the whole area. We had their homemade chicha morada- it's a purple corn juice. It was a delicious refreshing drink. The anticuchos - the grill beef heart was also good. Green pasta with lomo saltado was excellent. The green pasta was soft, flavorful and the Lomo Saltado was as good as it should be. Those flavourful dishes reminded me of our trip of Peru. They tasted very close to what we had in Peru. The service was good and the sitting area wasn't fancy yet comfortable. It was a satisfactory lunch.

    Great food and service! Though we were the only people here at 6PM on a Friday and about 2 ppl working. First time trying Peruvian food and it was delicious. Plenty of seating and lots of desserts as well from tres leches, flan, and alfajores. Our party tried the mixed ceviche too which was

    We were traveling through the area and saw this place pop up in the search. Since we don't have Peruvian food where we live, we were excited to see this. The restaurant is a reasonable size and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a menu posted outside for those wishing to limit their time indoors. We ordered the Pollo Crema jalapeño, tallarin pollo jalapeño, 2 chicha morada (purple corn corn drink), alfajores (Peruvian cookies) to go, an iced coffee and a Cuban coffee. I think we were charged for multiple Cuban coffees... but we didn't catch it til we left so we just let it be. The food is all prepared fresh and made to order, which I genuinely appreciate. The chicken was well seasoned and not over cooked. The food had great flavor and I didn't leave hungry. Their fried yuca is on point! The iced coffee turned out really good. Our bill total was $76 and I think it's because we were charged 3 Cuban coffees more than we ordered. This place is a little higher in the price side, but it's all authentic and fresh. So you really do get what you pay for.

    Vegetarian choice: Tallarin Papa Huancainaas at Latin Food Blessing

    Are they New? Opened? - I want to cringe at this Peruvian restaurant in Gainesville. I hope they improve EVERYTHING. Did I come on a bad day? The Service was invisible. Thank god I knew Spanish (pet peeve: if you are a Spanish restaurant in the USA, you should have at least one English speaker on the team at all times.) I was so excited to eat Peruvian food in Gainesville, and in this case, we were so disappointed. We would have dined at the location, but it looks like it needs a lot of tender, loving, care (TLC). The place looks very clean and tidy, though. The cream walls and painting clusters do little justice to the decor, but the paintings are all for sale. The display of a Panettone wall is all the excitement here. We did take out and regret it. Since it was our first time eating here, we didn't know what to expect. So I tried the Pollo Crema Jalapeno - Chicken breast with jalapeno cream. It was grilled chicken, and it was just very dry. I believe they forgot the cream, or maybe it spilled all over the bag since it was all wet on the outside. We also tried the Tallarin Papa Huancainaas, their vegetarian choice. It was ok for what it is, not sure it was what we expected. Overall the entire thing was disappointing for the price of food. It all was just so boring and lacking.

    Hidden gem alert! There aren't many hispanic restaurants in Gainesville and even less that serve Peruvian food. This place is authentic and has a great environment. I tried the ceviche and of course had an Inca cola to drink. My friend ordered the arroz chaufa. Everything was yummy! I loved seeing Peruvian decor all around the restaurant and definitely appreciated the effort they put in to make it feel homey. They also sell Peruvian desserts and candies at the counter - so cute!

    It's my first time there. The place is not very big, but it looks very clean and cozy. The delicious food. The prices are not cheap, but you pay for what you receive, because the portion is enough. I ordered the chaufa rice with shrimp, delicious and hot. But if you visit this place, you cannot go without trying the fried yucca, it is something super tasty, it dissolves in your mouth.

    I really really wanted to like this restaurant. It is a shame but the service is just not there. They have a pop up tent at the haile plantation farmers market on Saturday. My recommendation is just go there. The smoothies are delicious , my daughters get them every weekend. They are a little pricey at $7 per smoothie but they are good. The restaurant on the other hand is just not very impressive. They do not have servers really it's just the owner at the register and serving and basically doing everything except cooking. Not really the best place to sit down for a meal.

    A friend of mine advised that he had eaten at El Rinconcito De Lima earlier in the week and…read moresuggested we go for lunch. I was in the mood for pho or ramen and really didn't want to go, but he insisted. As we approcahed the location, I was a bit turned off and starting giving my lunch partner the serious side eye. We walked by the food truck (kitchen), where we were greeted by the individuals cooking and into a small eating area. I was immediately impressed with how clean it looked and smelled. So my doubt eased and I proceeded to scan the menu. To my surprise, it was filled with many options and they all looked amazing. Having been an avid diner at Cerviche Jax, I was eager to see how El Rinconcito De Lima would compare. We decided on a few dishes for comparison's sake. The first were the empanadas. These are by far the best I have had. They were filled with seasoned beef and onions. Absolutely delish! We then had a ceviche-type cold soup that had quite the kick. It was like nothing I had tasted before. The dish was filled with red onions, fish and a tiger milk based broth that exploded with the tanginess of lime and added heat. The first taste had me puckering like a fish, but after getting used it, I found it to be really tasty. Next, we had the chicken. Nobody does Peruvian chicken like the people of Peru and this place did not disappoint. It was grilled and seasoned to perfection and extremely moist. Since, I originally had a desire for soup, I ordered the Parihuela, which was filled with calamari, shrimp, fish, mussels, onions, peppers and potatoes (or may yucca). It also included a side of rice, which would have gone great mixed with the soup. Move over gumbo! Amazing was the best word to describe this dish. My soup craving was completely satisfied. I even had enough to take home for leftovers. I have finally found a Peruvian restaurant I can go to for a delicious meal. Again, the atmosphere was a bit different; however, the food and music totally made up for it. I was also pleasantly surprised with the bill, which was relatively cheap for all of the food we ordered. I will most definitely visit this establishment again and suggest that you treat yourself to El Rinconcito De Lima's delicious cuisine.

    Worst hamburger ever…read more And worst hot dogs and French fry's ever No authentic anything Small container of ketchup If it took any longer to reheat a precooked burger I was going to ask for my money back. And the one thing I wanted they had but refused to sell me A can of authentic inka cola they had one on display but it was not for sale So for my time and money I will just hit up Hardee's next time !

We ordered ceviche, chaufa, ají de gallina, lomo saltado, chicharrón de pescado, and lamb chops. The potatoes were undercooked and cold, papá a la huancaina had no flavor at all. I had to send the Lamb chops back to cook as they came medium rare. They came back almost the same. Aji de gallina had the chicken in chunks. The chicharrón de pescado did not come with any salsa criolla or salsa tártara. The fish was dry. If they came with the excuse that this was fusion with French or Italian food--PLEASE.

These are the…read moreones you'd get in a restaurant in Peru nothing compared to the ones you'd get from street from Peru (iykyk) Almost 20$ for thee tiniest mussels and I was having high expectations for the menu items being priced high. 5$ for rice too. Which I think is crazy. You're not picking grains yourself idk. 4.1 stars, again high expectations. Nothing really felt authentic as opposed to the ambience ? Sure. Strong maybe. If you never been to Peru and worry this place , id say you'd like it. For natives. No Valeria was very nice tho. Service was there. She was by herself basically holding the restaurant. It's not her fault the food was like this but she did deserve her 20% 55$ 3 items

    I've only been to this restaurant back when it was still Corner Bistro Wine Bar, and that was ok…read more According to Yelp archives, it was for Sunday Brunch. Now let's try this new concept here. We decided to sit at the bar and we were handed menus on IPads. Wow, this is different. We can't order on it but it was simply a digital menu. We ordered a few things. For drinks we got the Lula's Blue Pisco (Pisco, blue curacao, coconut cream, agave, like and coconut rum) and a Peruvian Prince (Peruvian Pisco, passionfruit liquor, peach Schnapps, lime, bitters). Both drinks were strong but the Blue Pisco was skrong. We both liked the taste. We later ordered a Mi Amor (7 misterios Mezcal, muddled watermelon, passionfruit, lime). Also strong and I'm not a watermelon person, but it was hard to not enjoy it. For apps, we got the Totstones Achorados (green plantains, mussels, tomatoes, onions, cilantro) and the Chicharron de Atun (seasoned bluefin tuna crackling, fresh housemade guac, fried jalapeno, cambray onion). The Chicharron surprised me as I didn't think the little fish rounds would be such a tasty snack. And the guac was really creamy, not salty. The tostones were impressive. My man said that normally they would be very dry but these weren't. The toppings on them, while not bringing a strong flavor, were cool and refreshing. For entrees, we got the Pulpo A La Parrilla (grilled octopus, fried potatoes, salad) and the Arroz Chaufa with Steak (white rice, eggs, chopped onions, chopped bell peppers, ginger, and sesame oil). The latter is a Peruvian version of Chinese fried rice. This was delicious! The flavors were much stronger and bolder and he could only eat half of it at this point. The rest was taken home and tasted just as good 2 days later. The octopus was great. I didn't think that I would also be getting part of the head with my meal but I was fine with that. I saw some people complain about their octopus being too chewy but I honestly will eat it anyway. I love it. The Peruvian corn that topped it was so sweet and delicious. The side of remoulade I used for everything on my plate as it was a great dipping sauce. We were too full to get dessert and threw in the napkins. The ladies waiting on all of us were so kind and took great care of us. This is definitely a place we will be returning to.
