We were warmly greeted when we stopped in for dinner on a Friday night. The format is quick service- order at the counter and the server will deliver the food to your table. The person at the counter (I presume the owner but not sure) was great in explaining the menu. We ordered the Aguadito chicken soup, 1/4 rotisserie chicken with salad and beans, and fried yuca with 3 sauces. The food came out quickly. The fried yuca was very delicious- sooo crispy and nicely seasoned. The sauces were a great accompaniment- 2 of them were spicy. They are similar to French fries but better, in my opinion. This is a big portion that can be shared for sure. The soup was also delicious. It had peas, carrots, potatoes, rice, and shredded chicken. The bowl was a hearty portion, so I shared it with DH. DH enjoyed the rotisserie chicken and sides. The chicken came with a jalapeno cilantro sauce- verdant with a kick. The restaurant has seating inside and outside with casual ambience. Overall a great experience and I look forward to going back and trying other dishes! read more

I was craving chow mein or Mongolian BBQ but found this place in a yelp search. I grew up in LA going to the best Peruvian restaurants but it's rare to find good Peruvian in Ventura County. I had a good feeling about Limeña from the website and I was so right! We ordered the hot dog dish for my daughter and my sons split the bistec. My husband ordered ceviche and I ordered the tallarines con pollo. I also ordered a side of rice and plantains and cookies for dessert. The tallarines were so so good!! My daughter loved the french fries and my sons really liked their meat rice and plantains. The chicken in my tallarines was tasty and the noodles sauce and hot sauce were delicious. The rice was yummy and garlicky. The cookies were the icing on top - melt in your mouth good. We washed it all down with a 2L of Inca Kola. I enjoyed it so much. My only wish is that it would be great if the tallarines were served with a small side of rice to sop up the sauce. I ended up ordering a side but it does get pricey having to order more sides. I'm very happy that we have an authentic delicious Peruvian restaurant here in T.O. I'll definitely be back to try the lomo saltado. read more

I've given this place multiple chances (three visits) and each time the food was really disappointing. This last time was the worst -- I ordered the $30 ceviche and it was completely bland, so I finally spoke up. Instead of listening, the owner argued with me and was extremely rude. To make things worse, the owner is also dishonest. He even tried to convince me that Inka Cola was made in Peru with "real ingredients and real sugar" -- but I read the label right in front of him, and it clearly wasn't true. Overall, very poor food, terrible customer service, and an owner who lies to customers. Definitely not worth the money or the experience. read more

My friend Graham, the great white hunter, and I ventured to Limena Peruvian Eatery for breakfast. From the moment we stepped inside, the enticing aromas wafting from the kitchen had us hooked. As we took in the cozy ambiance, I noticed a man carrying in a load of wood. Turns out, they use it for their wood-fired rotisserie chicken--an unexpected and delicious twist! A quick scan of the menu revealed a mix of classic American dishes alongside authentic Peruvian specialties. Who needs a passport when your taste buds can take you on a culinary adventure right here? Limena brings the flavors of Peru to your plate, and trust me, it's worth the trip. read more

Amazing chicken and clearly family owned. They pay attention to every detail, helpful, prompt service and appreciative of customers as they are small and breaking into the restaurant business. Food was perfectly cooked, flavorful and moist, fries does to perfect crispness, nice drink selection. Clean and well decorated. Will most definitely be back. read more

It's so hard to find Peruvian food in the states, let alone good Peruvian food. I came across this place for dinner and I'm so glad I did. You order at the counter and then once you get seated they bring your food out. For two, we got the Lomo Saltado and a half order of the Polla a la Brasa. The chicken comes with two sides so we chose the Fried Yuca and Fried Plantains. Everything was DELICIOUS. I also really loved the green aji sauce which had a flavor and kick to it. I definitely will be back! It's on the main street but there's street parking and a smaller parking lot nearby. read more

Highly recommend this place. Great flavor, texture, portions and customer service. Gabriel was warm, welcoming & informative! Lomo saltado was SO flavorful, pork chop was juicy, flavorful & tender. Tallarin Verde con milanesa is linguini w/a delicious creamy pesto type sauce next to your choice of lightly breaded beef or chicken. Try their jalapeño cilantro sauce. It is a little spicy but very yummy! read more

Went to celebrate my husband's birthday. Did not disappoint. Were created by Gabriel who was an amazing host and answered all and any questions we had about the menu.

First time and we will be back to try the other food. Full chicken with rice,bean and plantains. Just excellent. Nice people

Great ceviche great service. Looked clean and well maintained. Highly recommend trying read more

Peruvian dishes are authentically prepared with great care. We've had Peruvian food many times and Limeña delivers fresh and delicious food. We had the seafood chaufa with quinoa, the mixed seafood ceviche and the half chicken. The chicken was moist and smoky from the wood fired cooking. The owner and staff are very helpful with people new to the tastes of Peru. It's definitely worth a drive down 101. read more

I had the best experience eating here. The owner came out and explained the menu to me and helped me decide. He asked me whether I wanted to eat my ceviche first or my pollo saltado. I wanted my ceviche first, so while I was eating, the cook held off on making my pollo saltado so that my food would be hot and ready when I was done with my ceviche. When I was about 3 bites away from being done. My main dish was brought to my table. I could tell they were peaking at me to see what phase I was in to determine the right time to bring my food. But I could hear my food being cooked and sizzling in the kitchen so it was fresh off the grill. Now that is customer service! The owner came over and asked if I had eaten Peruvian food before, and he was so sweet, he explained the culture to me. I can tell he loves his country, loves the food and just wants to share it with people. The ceviche was tart/sour which may be hard to have a full serving for some people. In which case it may be better to share the ceviche. But I thought the whole dish was delicious. A bit of soft, a bit of crunchy and very flavorful. The pollo saltado was slightly spicy, had a bbq kind of char to the chicken, and the red onion and tomato were nicely soft and grilled. The purple corn drink was lightly sweet and had apple, cinnamon and clove flavors which made the drink really dynamic. Overall I would eat here again. I love the service, the owner, the look of the restaurant, the food. It was the whole package. read more

We ate on a Friday night and saw a steady stream of customers enter the restaurant- both to go and eat in was hopping Order at a counter and the friendly staff delivers your meal to the table. We tried pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken with salad and fries) and Lomo Saltado (stir fried beef, red onions, tomato, French fries, with rice). Both meals come with a tangy green hot sauce - a great pairing for all our dishes. We also tried the Aguadito de Pollo (chicken soup cooked in a cilantro broth) and the fried plantains - both a perfect start on a cold night. Bravo to Gabriel and the rest of the team at Limena! We will be back read more

Another Peruvian restaurant with average food. The food portion was a bit small and the flavor could use some improvement. Probably won't be returning. read more

Food was amazing and the owner came out to review the menu with us and tell us about the zsa zsa gabor photo. Highly recommend the ceviche!

Came on a Friday night. Easy to find and easy parking on the street. Tables inside the restaurant and outdoor seating as well with heat lamps. Ordered the ceviche, lomo saltado, bread and platano. The ceviche was delicious and accompaniments went well with the dish. Really enjoyed the lomo saltado as well but the flavor was a little light. Bread doesn't come with your meal but the price wasn't extreme like most places that charge for bread. Service was great. Everyone friendly and helpful with the menu. Restaurant was clean and tables appropriately spread out. read more

Ordered pollo a la brasa and the chicken was raw. The portions are small and the prices are high for the amount of food and quality.

The food is amazingly fresh, superb and tasty. You can tell it's all authentic and homemade with quality ingredients. Even their salad dressing is made fresh and it's very light and extremely good. My daughter wanted extra salad dressing to put on some of her food as well. It is well lit from floor to ceiling length glass wall and surrounded mirrors with beautiful tile that line the walls. There is outdoor seating as well. The service is amazing! Great with the recommendations and the owner even came out to talk to us and talk about some of their weekend specials. We will definitely be back because the food is so good. We also enjoy Peruvian red wine. We will be back and we don't even live in the area. read more

The people working were very kind and helpful. If you have any questions about what to order they have great suggestions. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Small place with indoor and outdoor seating. Order at counter and find a seat. Everything on the menu is tempting. In fact, we have a difficult time deciding on what to choose from so many great options. We always start with the salchi-papa and we'll often choose a second appetizer (this time it was the three salsa fried yucca). I ordered the Bistek a lo Pobre, my wife had the ceviche mixto and my daughter had a milanesa steak with pasta (forgot the name). Another time I had the lomo saltado sándwich. All of it has been delicious. read more

We came in for the first time to try this place out since my brother recommended us to try it out. There's not many Peruvian places if at all near where we live so I was excited that this place wasn't that bad of a drive. We are Peruvian so ofc we are always craving our countries food! Since this was morning at around 10am we had the opportunity to sit where we liked. Instead of a typical sit you down and menus given out, we had ordered at the cash register. FOOD: The aguadito was so good 5/5 and complementary! The Aji De Gallina was 2/5 it was bland and missing that yummy authentic taste :( Peruvian food is never bland so this was a bit upsetting especially if you've brought out a non-Peruvian friend to eat The tacutacu and lomo was 4/5. Usually lomito Al jugo comes with bread but it didn't come with it so you'll have to order a side of bread for this dish if you want it. However, being the closest Peruvian restaurant to us we will be coming back to try other dishes :) read more

Tried this place when it first opened for take out and thought it was pretty good! Well, came in this time for lunch and absolutely loved it! Tried the Chicken Saltado, Roasted Chicken and the Paella! The Paella was the stand out for sure! All above mentioned were great, but really liked the Paella! Food: Really fresh and tasty Peruvian food. Also, good desserts as well, like Traditional Peruvian cookie filled with caramel dusted with powdered sugar! Chocolate cake, Cheesecake and Ice Cream. Drinks: Beer, Wine, Sodas, Teas, Coffee and Peruvian juices and traditional drinks of all kinds. Service: Casual, walk up and order, with a large menu. Food is brought to your table. Very friendly staff and had no problem explaining the menu Ownership: Locally owned and operated. Parking: Very small lot in back and very limited street parking out front. read more

We have been several times now and each time is fantastic. The owner is great. He goes over all the specials with you and makes great recommendations based off your likes and dislikes. He has never steered us wrong and I've never had the same thing twice. I go in wanting to, but then I see something else I want to try and end up having that. You really can't go wrong supporting this small, locally owned, very authentic Peruvian restaurant. read more

I came here a few nights ago with my daughter and her boyfriend. Yelp reviews looked good, and I can honestly say everything we had was worthy of their high rating. In fact, just a couple of nights later, they went back and had dinner there again! Not only is this place charming, but they are serving some seriously tasty food out of this kitchen. I've never been to Peru, but if everything tastes this good there, I may have to get my passport ready. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with what you order. Service was great. The owner literally came from the other side of counter and walked us through the menu. He made suggestions. He asked us questions. We got close. He might even follow me on Instagram now. Prices reflect the quality- but it's still cheaper than a ticket to South America. Stop reading and just go already! read more

Came in for breakfast this place is authentic and delicious, you will not be disappointed.

Salty food and not close to traditional or homemade. Location may be great but that should not be the only reason one goes to a restaurant. read more

I tried this place for the first time. I ordered take out through their website and requested the pickup time to be about 75 minutes. It was quite expensive for what we ordered. When I got there, I had to wait another 15 minutes past the pick up time. So it took them about 90 minutes to prepare 3 entrees, 2 appetizers, and 2 desserts. But it cost $150 with a 10% tip. I was a bit annoyed because they didn't seem terribly busy, there were open tables, no line, and it looked like there were only 4 tickets on the board. Not to mention how expensive it all was and the fact that I was asked to leave a tip (and did) when I ordered online. I was a little annoyed I couldn't take back my tip, honestly. They eventually apologized for the wait when they handed me my food and I was ok giving them the benefit of the doubt and brushing it off because of the holiday rush. The big problem here is my sister found METAL SHAVINGS in her food! She picked it out of her mouth! How terrifying! I can understand the delay getting our food but there is absolutely no excuse for this. It was instantly off putting for obvious reasons and who knows if we ingested any of it or not. The food we did have was good but given the food safety issue, we will not be returning. read more

We found it by accident and SOO glad! The menu has so many things I wanted to try so I will just have to go back. It's 1.5 hours from where I live and totally worth it! Try the ceviche...one of the best I've ever had! Lomo saltado is great! Best of all.. the service was top notch.. the manager even came to the table with the food to check if the spice level was OK. Don't be dissuaded by the outside appearance.. delicious thing are inside! read more

Great food, service was excellent. It's a small little place but so worth it!!! Don't leave without trying a dessert!

Gabriel is amazing! Everything we've tried here has been fantastic. You can't go wrong choosing to eat here!

Martha and I had breakfast today. Food and service was A+ We will certainly go there again, maybe for dinner.
