So maybe I'm spoiled. Ive grown up in Silver Spring and have only EXCLUSIVELY eaten Sardi's pollo. I was praying this would be my close replacement. Sadly...it wasn't. Warning 1: You walk in and you cant smell the chicken... Warning 2: the railings to line up are super confusing so I paid before my food was packed (again, im spoiled with Sardi's) Warning 3: there were no fries made...which was fine because i really wanted fried rice Warning 4: the fried rice looked pale but red all at the same time. Warning 5:he pulled my chicken out from under the table But whatever lets give it a chance 11.00 with my kola champagne okay whatever I get home and I start diving right in to the rice Soggy Where is the crunch, the toasty smoke? Where are the onions, scallions, taste? It was a soggy bunch of blah Next the platanos I think i ate a piece of the stove seriouslym even though i spit it out there's shards still digesting You really can't mess that up. They're plantain. They made them super soft like i love them. Now the chicken the main attraction. The smallest piece of chicken I have ever seen. The skin tasted good, the seasoning in the back crevices was delicious but the chicken itself had zero flavor. What I would give if they had marinated that chicken overnight! So all in all Would I eat there again? If it was the last place on earth yea sure Is Sardi's still around even if its a 30 min. Drive? If yes then hell no read more

I've been getting carry out from here for a few years now. The food is amazing! The fish tacos are sooo good, and the seafood ceviche is awesome. Of course you can't go wrong with the chicken, add cilantro rice and pinto beans, and the yellow sauce is good on everything. It's clean, but isn't ever crowded in the dining room. My only complaint is the service is always crummy. I don't think I've never been greeted with a smile or a hello or how can I help you. Never a thank you or a please come again either. They are like dry robots making your food. If the food wasn't as awesome as it is I'd probably go elsewhere because it feels like they just want to be done with you and move on to the next which leaves you feeling bad, but then you get to car and know you are about to have a good meal. read more

The customer service has completely gone down hill. The last 3 times I have come here the restaurant is not as clean. The treatment of customers has declined and you will not be welcomed. The food has become subpar and not that good anymore. You're better off taking your business somewhere else. Will not revisit at all. read more

Lima's Chicken - Chicken steak and shrimp w salad and plantain - Peruvian Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

We're huge fans of Peruvian Chicken.The seasoned, juicy chicken is a go to for us. Came here around 6, before the dinner rush. We generally order a whole chicken, as the teen can demolish that himself and we feel like that size meal is most cost effective. With it comes two sides- which we opted for the rice and beans (black beans def lacked in flavor, while the white rice was either undercooked or had been sitting out for a while. They put the beans on top of the rice in the container, so I couldn't identify the culprit of my hard rice) and plantains (sweet ones, pretty good). We also got a side of fried Yuca, which was pretty delicious. The chicken was standard Peruvian Chicken. Not over/ under seasoned and juicy. They also have Horchata as a drink option, which was VERY sweet. The place itsself was pretty big and roomy, with lots of seat options. Was a solid meal, but not sure that I would go out of my way to return. read more

I have never tried Peruvian charbroiled chicken before and I have to say, Lima's Chicken made a great impression on a first timer like myself! I always pass by that shopping section in route 40 and was very excited to see a new restaurant in town. I ordered the 1/4 White Meat (that came with two sides) and yucca fries and plantains. The order also came with two types of sauces, one is jalapeño-based and one is mayo/mustard-based. For the price you are paying, the portion are relatively large, which is always great! The charbroiled chicken did not disappoint as the skin was slightly crispy and the breast was moist. There was a spot in the inner breast near the bone area where it was slightly undercooked but it's not a big deal because overall, the chicken was delicious. I really liked the simple yucca fries especially dipped in the mayo-mustard sauce. The plantains were very sweet and its caramelized edges really had me going back for more. They also sell pre-packed desserts located at the drinks refrigerator. I got the flan but they also have tres leches cake! This will be my go-to spot for some reasonably priced meals for lunch/dinner after coming back from my classes. Can't wait to try more of their menu! read more

Did you ever get to a point where your so hungry that you can't decide what you want to eat? You get angry at your partner or spouse because they won't decide either and you just want food. Convo goes like: "What do you want for dinner?" "Whatever you want hon." "But I don't care, we can go wherever" "Just pick a place and a place, I will eat it." "I don't know what I want." "GD it just pick a place!" Then it goes down hill from there. Now when that convo starts I just spout out Limas! This place is great. Forget your Ebola ridden chipotle bowls, limas bowls are the best. The chicken and steak have that nice layer of smoke to them. The yellow sauce on top of everything really puts it all together too. If a bowl is too large, you can get a half chicken and 2 sides for like $10. Def try their yuka with the yellow or green sauce. Totally awesome. They do have other Peruvian dishes on the menu but I never make it past the basics. I definitely need to branch out more. Now go to Limas and cut off any argument you are about to have about dinner! read more

The ceviche mixto is to die for!!! Very good... it came with a jalapeno aioli and a lime/cilantro dressing. Will definitely order it again. read more

Ordered their 1/4 Roasted Chicken but they gave me some wack ass noodles instead that costed $13! Wtf! I could of gotten better fucking noodles at the local Chinese Joint Next Door. Nothing was really special, their rice was plain and who the heck give out dried out fries? The steak was edible only because that's probably the best thing they have and as for the sauces, yo don't play with my feelings. As for the manager, don't look at the customer and tell them that they ordered something else because I'm pretty sure I know what I ordered. read more

My boyfriend (a Catonsville native) brought me here one Sunday afternoon after raving about it for months. They had a nice selection of food choices and I liked how spacious and clean the restaurant was. I was legit starving so I'm not sure if the prices on the wall matched my total. I was honestly too hungry to pay attention but my food did seem pricier than I expected. Staff wasn't too enthusiastic but I did enjoy the food. Do yourself a favor and get some plaintains or yucca! read more

First time visiting this restaurant and I have to say that it will be my last. The meals are too pricey for what you get and the staff is rude and unhelpful (almost $3 for a fountain soda and they only provide one size equal to a small size fountain from any of the major fast-food locations around?!) Do yourself a favor and stay away as there are a number of Peruvian Chicken/Pollo a la brasa restaurants in the Baltimore area that provide great service to their customers as well as offering meals at a fraction of the price of this place. If I could give 0 stars I would. Will not be returning. read more

Food Poisoning, on top of it all they were not friendly at all very rude. Me & My husband went here should have went with our gut instincts and left as it was empty. We opted for the Chicken Burrito and we both were ill diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and chills it was not the flu. subsided within 24 hours we both spent all night in each separate bathrooms. the food looked old and was cold. Will never return again. I Love the Limas Chicken in Severn they are very polite food is always fresh and staff are amazing and so polite. read more

What is going on at Limas? Are they really under staffed now? I entered the restaurant this morning at 11. I was greeted by a grumpy worker who said they were not open yet. He said they open in 20 minutes...so you open at 11:20 and why was the door opened if the store was not open yet? The door and Website say you open at 11:00. Also when I walked back in close to 11:20 the cook had his mask off until he noticed I was watching him. Then his put it back on..I left the store without ordering anything. read more

We ordered carryout and they did not provide the sides we ordered. I tried to call multiple times with no answer. I will not be going back due to not even being able to speak to them about this issue . read more

This place used to be amazing; however, it must be under new management. The older lady with the blonde hair- her service and attitude is horrible. I have been eating at this particular location as well as the Northern Parkway location quite regularly prior to COVID; usually 3+ times a week. I have visited this location 3 times within this last year and since it has been under new management--it's god awful. They try to nickle and dime customers for everything-it's sad. A lot of the staff in my office I once put on to this spot is advising me they this place may loose their business. The food is good for the most part those--the portion sizes have changed and some of the flavors have been watered down. read more

Lima's off 40 already wins 5 stars from me for being an awesome (healthier) alternative to the nearby diners, drive thrus, and dives of the area, but the quality and quantity of the meals here earns another 5 stars in my opinion. I ordered a whole chicken carry out meal to make up for midweek laziness, and I probably couldn't have cooked a better spread that evening. The whole chicken meal comes w 2 sides and there are the typical Peruvian side dish options: yucca fries, French fries, cilantro rice, beans, and plantains but then I noticed they went the extra mile and offered the fried rice you don't often find in Peruvian chicken places nearby: fried rice! You get a heaping helping of both your sides and all the sauce you could ask for on the side. We had the plantains and fried rice. I was sorely disappointed that the plantains were too ripe and also overlooked, so we didn't eat much of that although there was plenty. The fried rice was amazing!! Bell peppers, chicken, and onion chopped and dispersed throughout, it was soo yummy! I highly recommend Lima's over the Peruvian places I've tried in Columbia and the West Baltimore area, however, please let me know if you've found better read more

The first time I was there I ordered some sort of burrito. It was alright but too juicy, so it became soggy pretty quick. I decided to give it a try tonight since I love this kind of good and I was very glad I did. I ordered a quarter of chicken, dark meat, with veggies and cilantro rice. It was very good. I especially liked yellow sauce on a side; green sauce was good too but it was spicy. I will definitely be back. read more

Lima's Chicken - Quarter dark meat chicken with vegetables and cilantro rice. Yellow sauce on a side was amazing. Loved It! - Peruvian Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

The chicken is good, but the customer service is terrible. Today after waiting about 12 minutes in the drive thru, they told me that they run out of chicken, really at 12:45? I know they don't like to take customers through the window, so I think that wasn't possible. One day an order came without one of the sides, and I have other stories that I don't have time to continue saying. Anyway I hope I won't go back there. read more

I do not like this location at all and will not return. I order the whole white meat chicken with black beans, fried rice, and French fries. The chicken was not good, it smelled delicious and that's it. The sides were just ok. Maybe I just received a bad chicken dinner that day. Forgot to add reading the reviews saying bad customer service. I really did not encounter bad customer service. I'm also not saying the customer service was stellar just ok. They said "Hi and thank-you". read more

At Lima's Chicken you will find the most delicious rotisserie chicken, grilled steak and Peruvian dishes prepared with ingredients of the highest quality. Everything looks very fresh and smells delicious the moment you walk in through their doors. Reading the menu is a bit overwhelming since there are a lot of different dishes you can order and for someone like me who has never had Peruvian food before, you tend to be a little overwhelmed. I ordered the Carne Asada which was grilled steak and onions with two sides, my sides consisted of black beans and French fries that were drenched in some sort of gravy (that was amazing). My boyfriend ordered chicken tacos (come in threes) that came in flour tortillas with lettuce, cheese and sour cream. Our total came to $23.00 for the two of us. My friends have had the Peruvian dishes here which consist of Peruvian Ceviche (Fresh fish in lime juice mixed with special spices) and Lomo Saltado (Seasoned with soy sauce and yellow peppers). I have not had these yet but I will soon try them! The restaurant inside used to be a Friendly's restaurant, however, this establishment no longer resembles Friendly's at all and the inside is now fresh, clean and provides a family atmosphere with clean bathrooms! Please note that there are multiple deals at Lima's Chicken. Some of the best deals are currently on her website which can be viewed at this link: http://limaschicken.com/. If you cannot view the link then here some are: $17.95 for a whole chicken and two sides, $9.65 for a 1/2 chicken and two sides, $6.45 for a ¼ dark meat chicken and two sides and $7.25 for a ¼ white meat chicken and two sides. read more

Ordered the quarter white chicken with fried rice and fresh vegetables. Chicken portion was small and bland. The chicken was also over cooked. Rice was soggy and not very flavorful. First and last time. There are too many memorable Peruvian chains for me to frequent that waste my tastebuds here. read more

This is a chain and that being said it still has the old remments of CiCis pizza, same paint, same counter lay out and front entrance. Minor updates, didn't find the staff friendly or inviting, just cogs in a machine. The chicken while good , $8.99 for 1/4 white and two sides was juicy and hot, the flavor was just a hint and garlic was the hint. Soda was 1.99 unlimited . Little pricey, Sardis and a few places in Rockville have my business. read more

A lot of bad customer service experiences. On several occasions. The staff takes forever to do anything. It takes forever to get the food. And on top of that once you get your chicken it takes another 30 minutes to get your sides. You're charged for every sauce which no other place does. read more

The Hanover location has the worse lady working there. I've been going to Lima's for over 5 yrs now. She's rude and over charges. The first incident she got real snappy with me because I ordered the kids steak taco meal. She said you guys are no longer serve that, which is fine, but proceeds to up charge me because I didn't want fries as a side. The last time was the last straw, where I didn't want the sauces on my tacos, I wanted the sour cream and the yellow sauce on the side, she proceeds to charge me for the yellow sauce that I'm suppose to already get. But because I didn't get it on the taco I was charged extra. But didn't charge me for the sour cream. But I got the sour cream on the side just like the yellow sauce. I love your food but her attitude has turned me away for the last time! It sucks cause I've been going to this location longer than she's been working there. If there was another closer location I would go, but her attitude is not pleasing at all! Signed an upset long time customer! read more

Deliciouso!!! Always great! Best yellow sauce. Always large portions and usually makes 2-3 meals. read more

My family was entirely disappointed with the food ., The Chicken was dry , the meat of lomo saltado the same dry and without flavor . This is not peruvian food and it is a shame they advertised as Peruvian food ., Very disappointing. I don't think the people who work there know about peruvian food and the owner is taking advantage of the name ., sorry to say that but I will never go back . I will rate 0 star but it doesn't let me do it . read more

We would come here specifically for their salads with the house dressing. The past couple times we've ordered ahead they don't tell us they have the house dressing until we pick up our order and give us Kens dressing. I can get that dressing from the market. If I wanted that I would've made my own salad. From now on will just go to the Hanover location. They always have enough and their customer service is much better. read more

Maryland's version of Pollo Tropical in Miami. Really yummy. We loved the rotisserie chicken, the beans, plantains, and green beans. My husvand thought the potatoes were undercooked but I liked them. My 7yr old got the cheesesteak sub and it was so fresh and delicious. Looking forward to our next visit to Lima's! read more

YUM. Stopped here shortly after they opened for the day, so like 11:10 AM. The service was so fast it blew me away. I ordered half a chicken with green beans and plantains, and it was handed to me (packaged and in a bag) in under 2 minutes. Everything was fresh and hot, even after a 10 minute drive home, and tasted AMAZING. My only gripe is PLEASE put more sauces in the to-go bag. One small container of yellow sauce is not enough for this hungry gal. read more

It surprised me and shocked me that a Peruvian chicken place FINALLY decided to open up around here. With a plethora of cuisine along Rt 40 in this area, Lima's Chicken continues to add to the smorgasboard of options available. I knew I had to check it out. Apparently, this place has several other locations, and this is their newest place. They seem to have a fair number of food options, from Peruvian-specialized dishes, tacos/burritos, and sandwiches, but I knew that I had to try their namesake chicken before trying any other options. If it's good enough to deserve a spot in the restaurant's name, it's gotta be worth trying before anything else, right? Out of all the Peruvian chicken I've ever had, Lima's was good, but not exceedingly so. The sides were good, but not great. The yucca, green beans, and plantains were good, but didn't have anything particular special about them. The sauces that they had kinda mirrored everything else that I ordered: I liked it, but they almost made me feel like it was a bit uninspired. Being the only Peruvian chicken joint on this stretch of 40, Lima's fills a much-needed need as a provider of solid quality pollo a la brasa. I also wonder if they're still getting their bearings, since it seems like it hasn't been too long since they've opened. I'd love to come back sometime to see if they have anything else on the menu that could potentially wow me. This place really seems promising. read more

Good chicken. Place looks clean with lots of tables. Will go back and check out/explore some more stuff on the menu someday- maybe the bistec a la pobre and ceviche. read more

Last night was the first time we tried Lima's Chicken, and we were VERY pleasantly surprised. For the price, you get a LOT of food.

I want to give them a better rating. I really do. The food is decent. But the service? Terrible. Each time I go in there, the same super unfriendly man is at the register. He barely acknowledges you or says hello. He looks displeased at all times. The service is always very slow no matter how busy it is - and it's never been busy when we go. They always have a side that are potato wedges with cheese & green onion. We order them each time because they're good. They are not listed on the website OR on the Door Dash menu. Simple fix, right? I call and ask. I call the location and a woman answers the phone. I ask the question and she doesn't seem to understand what I am asking. I ask her again and she replies "I don't know". My response was normal, "is there anyone else there you can ask?" She replies again, "I don't know". What? Not only is this pretty ridiculous but it isn't hard to give the phone to someone else. The mystery remains. Will it ever be solved? read more

The food here is great! We come almost every weekend. If you like steak subs this place has the best cheesesteak I've had in a long time!

Today I decided to try limas chicken, I wasn't sure what to eat and thought of this place that I had drove by so many times. Very happy I did, it's a Peruvian style eat in and carry out. They had everything from chipotle gyros steak and whole chicken family meals. Also sweet plantains! Everything looks clean and well maintained. Food was delicious!! We ordered a chicken gyro and some other things I can't pronounce. I posted a picture below. Service was mediocre , average I would say. The cashier didn't look very excited to answer few questions I had about things on the menu but that's ok the food made up for it. Overall I will be back, I can't wait to get hungry again and try more items on the menu! read more
