Authentic Peruvian casual family owned restaurant. Everything was so good! It's a small place, but it does have a good sized patio area. There are a few parking spots that you'll come across in the front to the side, but there's also street parking.

Limeña is probably one of the best kept secrets in the 805. My Wednesday was made a little bit better by being able to finally try some classic Peruvian dishes at Limeña Peruvian Eatery in Thousand Oaks, California. Gabriel and his team are insanely passionate about the business and their community. I was only here about 30 minutes but I felt right at home, welcomed and eager to come back for more AND WITH FRIENDS. This is the kind of restaurant where you bring a group, everyone orders a different dish, and then you pass them around to get an amazing bite after bite. With Gabriel's help I was able to narrow it down to a few dishes that I had to try. The interior here is super cozy and inviting. I grabbed a big table against the wall and was delighted to see all of the customers that rolled in after work hours. I love seeing those in the community that feel at home coming into restaurants such as this, where their native language can be spoken and all of the great Spanish hits from my youth were playing in the background. Really the ambiance and atmosphere here is so inviting and warm. What you absolutely MUST order: Ceviche Carretillero : I don't know which food gods are shining down on me this week but this was ANOTHER one of the best bites I've had yet this year. Their famous Peruvian ceviche topped with fried calamari. It totally works and knocked my socks off. It's super refreshing with the Leche de Tigre, cold halibut and sweet potato, yet topped with that perfectly crispy calamari - this is a dish I won't soon forget and honestly will be longing for. Pollo Saltado : a more well known Peruvian dish, traditionally comes with beef, chicken or seafood. This lovely stir fried dish with onion, tomatoes, fries and rice is a Peruvian staple and fan favorite here. I opted for the chicken this time and was blown away by the flavors and textures. Such a solid and hearty dish. Definitely you'll have room for leftovers. All of this delicious food washed down with a Passionfruit Juice Please come give them a try!

House Salad

The owner greeted us warmly after finding easy street parking for lunch. He provided us photos for the items we were interested in. My wife is very sensitive to cilantro flavor and thankfully we could barely taste it in the ceviche mixto and Loma soltado sauce. A very hard feat to achieve! Overall flavoring was great. We wish there were some tortilla chips that came with the ceviche. The steak could have been more tender and would have been perfect. Overall nice spot.

Lomo Saltado
Amanda L.

Delicious food, clean flavors, great plating, extremely fresh ingredients. It's a casual place despite the expensive prices. But the food is definitely good. We ordered the mariscos aroz, lomo saltado, and the yucca. Yucca with the three dipping sauces was perfect. Fluffy interior, crispy exterior, and the sauces were extremely complimentary. The mariscos aroz had a lot of seafood and was so flavorful. I think this was my favorite entree. The lomo saltado was also delicious with strong flavors. It is definitely pricy, especially for the setting, but it's so rare to find Peruvian food this good. I'd definitely come here again.

Pollo a la brasa - breast
Melissa K.

I've been craving pollo a la brasa for a while and finally came across this place while visiting CA and was so happy. Service was quick and super friendly! Ambience was casual but a really cute set up. I had the pollo a la brasa and it did not disappoint. Green sauce was on point and I loved the salad dressing. Yuca was fresh and fried perfectly. Chicken was deliciously seasoned and had a little kick like I love. It's slightly pricey but so is everything when eating out these days so I don't blame them. Wish I lived closer so I could keep coming back Updating this to say I tried the ice cream and yum!!! I was too full to get the one that came with plantains but I can imagine how yummy that would be!

Pollo Saltado
JR F.

Had a delicious meal with the family at Limeña! Everything was on point. We ordered saltados, chaufas, tallarin, bistec, plantains. We even went for dessert and had lucuma ice cream and a superb flan. Gabriel, the owner, was so nice and welcoming. The restaurant is well kept and clean, including the restrooms. Highly recommend this little gem, especially if you're craving some latin cuisine. They know what they're doing!

Overall very good but not great. I ordered a half chicken with two sides of salad and a side of salsa criolla. Everything was tasty. The only downside was that the chicken skin was not crispy at all. Service was good and the place is cute and clean with a few outdoor tables.

Lomo Saltado
Tara F.

Randomly stumbled across this restaurant and I'm so glad I did because the food was absolutely mouthwateringly good! Got the lomo saltado (with beef) and a side of fried plantains. It was sooooo good. The service was great also! Everyone was so nice and the owner made some recommendations. I'll definitely be coming back!

Inside tables

I really liked it. Totally tasted good. There was a man that took my order. Very kind and explained all the vegetable options. Really took time and was very thorough. It might be a hidden gem in Thousand Oaks. Packed very nicely to go and it all travelled well. I would suggest eating the toast there, if you like it crispy. Very clean environment and food was prepared well and quick. I recommend this place. I ordered things in the a..m. But lunch and dinner are offered too.

Papa a la Huancaina
Claudia B.

We were leisurely driving on T.O. Blvd. and saw this place. We had already tried Mouthful Eatery awhile ago, another Peruvian eatery just a block away from Limena, and since we liked that one, we decided to give this place a try ! I can't say Limena was 5-star worthy like many others thought, but it was decent. We ordered the following: PAPA A LA HUANCAINA - a boiled potato served with mildly spicy cheese sauce, 1/2 hard-boiled egg, and an olive. The boiled potato was served at room temp, maybe even with a slight chill on it, and a real heavy cheese sauce (also room temp) was on top of the potato... it wasn't spicy at all, but I just didn't like it. It was just weird, and I couldn't get into the potato NOT being hot or at least warm...same with the sauce. I'm really not sure what the 1/2 hard-boiled egg and one lone olive were doing on this plate. Wasted food, and it didn't add anything to the presentation. If anything, it was weird. Anyway, this was a miss for me. $11 - and not worth it at all. Should've only been $6-7 for what it was. LOMO SALTADO - stir-fried beef with red onions, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, and french fries, served with white rice. I didn't try it as my husband ordered it, but I'm sure it had the same sauce as mine did, which I did eat and will comment on below. $22.00 - definitely not worth that price. Should have been $15 at most. CHICKEN SALTADO - chicken stir-fried with red onions, fresh tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, and french fries, served with white rice. Very tasty meal, but almost TOO salty. I didn't care for the french fries swimming in the sauce, so I opted for using the rice as a buffer to the very salty sauce. At least it was quite flavorful, but the salty aspect might've been too much had I not eaten this dish with the rice. I thought this was a bit pricey for what it was... $20. Should have been between $13-15. Not worth $20. CHURROS - traditional Spanish churros filled with Bavarian crème and rolled in cinnamon sugar and drizzled with chocolate sauce. Barely enough crème for me to notice, and some pieces, I didn't taste or see any of it. Also, I would've preferred a little container of chocolate sauce to dip the churros in, however, it was just lightly drizzled with the sauce, which left me wanting a LOT more. Not worth $10.... maybe $8. I actually was thinking of awarding 4 stars, but the more I thought about it, the less I like this place. To be honest, I'm really not sure I will return because it wasn't THAT good, it's overpriced, and there are just so many other restaurants waiting for us to try them.

There was a generous amount of fresh, sweet fruit and a light dusting of confectioner's sugar. Delicious! Ample accessible parking near the entrance, and while not a large restaurant, it's well laid out and easy to navigate with a wheelchair. The service was prompt and friendly. Some of the menu items -- like soufflé pancakes and Dutch babies -- take a little more time to prepare, but good food is well worth the wait. This is definitely worth it, and the surroundings are so pleasant you don't even notice the few extra minutes.

The space itself is chic and impossibly cute, a mini cafe that feels like a hidden boutique find, quaint in all the right ways. The croissants are the genuine article: buttery, flaky layers with that perfect golden exterior that only comes from someone who truly knows what they're doing. Every pastry here is crafted with care and it shows in every bite. And the mocha coffee? That alone is worth the trip. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, it pairs beautifully with anything in the pastry case. The staff are warm and genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience feel personal rather than transactional. One thing to keep in mind: this is not a drive-through. It's a small owner-operated cafe where everything is made with intention. Come with time to spare, settle in, and let the experience unfold. Good things take time, and here that philosophy is baked right into everything they do. Yes, prices lean a bit higher than your average coffee shop, but this is quality you can taste. You're paying for authentic French technique that honors the tradition. La Princière is a Thousand Oaks treasure worth every unhurried minute.

From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel like family. They go out of their way to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back again and again. The food is unreal. If you're a chili fan, this place is a MUST-visit -- they have FOUR different house-made chili options that increase in spice level, and each one is fantastic. And if you love French toast, do yourself a favor and order the flaked French toast... you will not regret it. Pro tip: try the off-menu chili tater tots at least once. Get the second-hottest chili and load up the toppings -- seriously incredible. The décor has a great local farm-to-table vibe, there's a full bar, and TVs to catch games while you eat. It somehow feels cozy and lively at the same time. Honestly, this might be the best-kept secret in the county -- but it shouldn't stay a secret. More people need Café ViVi in their lives.

A few weeks ago, I finally made it in for dinner for the first time, and it absolutely lived up to my expectations. I can't remember exactly which nights they serve dinner, but it's well worth planning a visit. My partner and I ordered several dishes to share, and every single one was a hit. We started with the burrata and prosciutto appetizer with pesto, which was incredible. Paired with a glass of wine, a cocktail, and the complimentary house-made salt and vinegar chips, it would make for a perfect happy hour on its own. For our entrees and sides, we ordered the half chicken, roasted carrots, and dinosaur kale salad. The chicken tasted like it had been slow-cooked all day--tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The roasted carrots were outstanding, and even the kale salad felt special and thoughtfully composed. To finish the meal, we shared the sticky toffee pudding, which was one of the most memorable desserts I've had in a long time. We also tried two mocktails, both of which were creative, delicious, and fun. Sunrose continues to impress me whether I'm there for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Ordered the sausage breakfast burrito. The burrito was heavy on the breakfast potatoes, it took up more than half of the burrito. Unfortunately, the potatoes were all undercooked which made them CRUNCHY and unbearably BLAND. The amount of thin breakfast sausage slices inside was small relative to the entirety of the burrito. The scrambled eggs with cheese inside were very good! It came with a small cup of salsa which was excellent, unfortunately the cup was only half filled. It was not nearly enough as the burrito was so bland because of the large amount of undercooked potatoes. I could have easily used two or three cups of salsa to give it taste. I'll be willing to give them a second chance in a few weeks, I'm curious to see if my experience will be better as I am hoping that today was just an aberration.

The keto quiche with almond flour crust was to die for!!! But I didn't have to die because it was ultra low carb and listed the net carb count on the menu, so it was a safe food for me.

It was so good, everyone I was dining with wanted to order it. As a Type 1 diabetic who needs to carefully control my carb intake and know exactly how many carbs are in food so that I can take the appropriate amount of insulin, eating outside of my home often feels like a huge game of risk. So when I encounter a place that has keto items on the menu and lists the amount of net carbs so that I know how much insulin to take, I am actually overwhelmed with gratitude. When there's an item like this on a menu for anyone on a keto diet, of which there's so many of us for many different reasons, I feel like the people making that decision are showing a kindness and respect to the diversity of their customers' needs.

I always knew this place existed and passed it many times on TO Boulevard and I'm so glad I finally…read moremade the effort. I found the atmosphere to be so inviting, warm and modern with plenty of seating and a really nice outside patio. I would also mention that's it's so nice not to lumped in the middle of a strip mall like, ' Longevity in TO & Ragamuffin in Newbury Park' . I love the design of the interior! I have been to a ton of coffee locations in the area, ( Westlake, TO, Newbury Park, Oxnard, Ventura , Santa Barbara, Malibu) and this Cafe Ficelle location is up there with the best of them. Yes the parking is not perfect- but....the service I found on my, 'so far 5 visits' has been excellent and my ' cappuccinos' have been perfectly made and tasted superb. I also had a Tri Tip sandwich which I also found to be really tasty. I am a fan and would encourage you to give it a shot and look past the 3.7 stars on Yelp- I hope this location makes it as the Pizza place that was next to it didn't.

Today I had lunch at Cafe Ficelle with my parents. We shared two French dip sandwiches, a chocolate…read morecroissant and an almond croissant. The sandwiches were outstanding. Crusty, toasted baguette, tender tri-tip, and perfectly melted Gruyere. The dipping sauce was rich and flavorful, a perfect complement. Each sandwich also came with a fresh side salad of arugula and goat cheese. The croissants were very good. We arrived close to closing, so the pastries may not have been at peak freshness. I would recommend enjoying them earlier in the day, ideally with coffee or tea. Since we were sharing, our server sliced each croissant in three pieces. Thank you! The cafe itself is charming, with warm dark wood, cozy seating, and a fireplace that adds to the ambiance. Indoor temperature was a bit cool during our visit, but still a pleasant environment, and there is outdoor seating as well. The staff was friendly and service was quick. One small note: it would help if the staff had a better grasp of the menu and felt more confident describing it. The food speaks for itself and is worth highlighting. Parking was close and easy, and I especially enjoyed the light jazz playing in the background, including standards sung beautifully by Ella Fitzgerald. P.S. I always forget to snap photos. The sandwich was Insta-worthy.
