I recently visited Limon on an early Friday evening, and despite the restaurant not being busy, the…read morelevel of service varied significantly among the staff. The standout of the night was Javier C. He appeared to be doing the work of multiple people--serving tables, tending the bar, and even helping clear and reset tables. Throughout the evening, he remained attentive, professional, friendly, and efficient. He consistently checked on guests and ensured everyone had what they needed. Unfortunately, many of the other servers seemed disengaged. Several appeared more focused on standing around and repeatedly wiping menus than assisting guests or checking on their tables. As a result, Javier seemed to be carrying much of the workload himself while other team members were noticeably inattentive. Limon is fortunate to have an employee like Javier. His work ethic, sense of urgency, and dedication to customer service set an excellent example. I hope management recognizes his efforts and encourages the rest of the team to follow his lead. Javier was the reason our dining experience remained positive despite the lackluster service from much of the rest of the staff.

The number of times I've gone to Limón…read more... I've tried lomo saltado dishes at other restaurants (because I have found the need to always get this dish at a Peruvian restaurant ever since my first time at Limón), but nothing compares. I've tried a couple that have come close though! Came here on a Tuesday evening (made a reservation online for three). Lomo Saltado: always my go-to dish. I very rarely venture away from this dish (will usually get ceviche in addition). Flavorful and filling. Miscellaneous: - If you're going with a larger group or during peak meal times, recommend making a reservation - Parking is available via street parking - Good for small and large groups - The restaurant is loud

That being said the Papito sandwich was delicious. I would go back for that sandwich alone. My boyfriend had three tacos. The fish taco was really really good he said.

We followed with almost one of each for main courses and we all just shared, standouts were the Lomo Saltado, whole branzino, seared scallops, Brazilian moqueca and chicken a la brasa. We're all still talking about the food, service and ambiance. What a great experience, thank you Bocanova and entire team for such a memorable dining experience, you can tell that they work as a team and it shows! Can't wait to go back.

We sat in their beautiful patio which now has two TV's showing every game and they've decorated it to match the theme. For food we had the Crispy Branzino, the Braised Beef Shortrib, the Lomo Saltado and the Peruvian Chicken à la Brasa, all were delicious and full of flavor. For drinks we tried their House Michelada, Avión de Papel Tropical, The Bocanova and the Pisco sour, all cocktails were tasty and well balanced and we also ordered one of their tequila flights because they pour Fortaleza as one of the shots! The service was really good and attentive without being intrusive, we felt taken care of the whole time we were there watching Mexico win! I would definitely recommend Bocanova is you're looking for a more upscale vibe without the price tag, they guys know how to treat you like family!

For our entrees, we ordered the Argentinian Skirt Steak accompanied with Frites, Sautéed Greens, Fries and Chimichurri Sauce -- and the Mezcal Glazed King Salmon with Cashew Relish, Purple Potato Puree (so interesting!), Shaved Brussels Sprouts, and Chipotle Butter Sauce. Food was fantastic -- straight to the point and with boldness from the Latin influence. The ambiance aims for a higher end dining experience, and there is a full bar with additional seating. Must be a local favorite for Happy Hour and dinner. Jonathan was our server -- shout out to him for his efficiency, attentiveness, and professionalism. He responded at every interaction with enthusiasm and a smile. Would definitely return.

They were busy, but the staff accommodated us last minute which was so nice. Drinks were fantastic, the bartenders love what they do and it shows. The food was sooo good. We ordered some appetizers and the pasta and the short ribs for mains, all were fantastic dishes. The short ribs were my favorite though, seasoned well and the cilantro mashed potatoes it came with were EVERYTHING. I'd come back for a side of those alone. The pasta was a little dry and could have used more sauce, which is why I knocked them down a star. We'll definitely be back to try other dishes!

The service is friendly and helpful and they also serve fun cocktails here. I was in the area and decided to grab dinner here with some family, which was great since the dishes are designed to be shared. We started with the guaca- mol and tamal. We then ordered each of the three pupusas they had on the menu, the pollo en chicha, and some broccoli asado. We ended the meal with a tres leches cake. Without going into too much detail with each dish, I would just say that we loved everything we ordered. Just the whole experience was a delight. The hospitality, the cultural aspect, and just the fun vibes.

We tried each flavor of each pupusa offered, which were all delicious. I recommend you eat these ASAP, as they come out a bit crispy when freshly prepared, but get soggier quickly. The drinks were fine, but nothing too special or different. The trout was kind of salty, this entree was a bit disappointing. The mackerel appetizer was probably my favorite. It was smoked, so it tasted pretty fragrant and was a nice blend of flavors, but the crackers seemed a bit juvenile to pair it with. Overall it was good, but nothing is making me need to go back!

It's a pretty small spot but well worth it. You can order from the window or you can sit, look at the menu and then wait. The food takes time to come out but that is because everything is made fresh and to order. I cannot begin to describe how worth it the wait was. We got horchata to sip on while we talked and were kept in good company until we got empanadas, yucas and finally, our pupusas. All I can say it, everything was delicious and made with love. I do wish they have more support but they seem to be doing well since they've been at the spot forever. All I can say is I was speechless once the food came out because I was just eating.

Los Olivios has my heart! I am so happy to have found a delicious authentic pupusa spot!…read more I'm always on the hunt for a good pupusa and most places either don't have enough filling or have a bland salsa (and we all know how important salsa is!) Thankfully, this place is 10/10 on BOTH! They fill up their pupusas and they taste amazingggg. They also offer the option of spicy or non spicy salsa. I personally get the spicy and I love the kick / flavor, it pairs very well with the pupusa. I also order their platano frito with frijol + crema, the staff is super accommodating and nice when I ask for them to slice the banana thinner for a crispier bite. I highly recommend this location! Service is amazing and food is even better.

As soon as I walked in, Tina welcomed me at the register and made me feel instantly comfortable. I ordered the veggie scramble, avocado toast, a Red Eye coffee, and an iced hazelnut coffee. Tina even asked if I was new to the area (apparently I gave off new-neighbor energy ). After I shared that I had recently moved nearby, she gave me a lovely rundown of the business and the services they offer. It's very clearly a community hub, a place where organizations and regulars can gather and even host events. The food came out quickly, and Tina made sure I had everything I needed before I left. While waiting, I noticed locals and repeat customers coming in and genuinely connecting with one another, which was really nice to see. Great service, welcoming atmosphere, and a strong sense of community. I'll definitely be back!

All of that to say that the sandwich I just had from Zenti was so amazing that I had to write a review immediately. It was in a surprise bag from Too Good to Go, so it wasn't even something I chose. The very friendly woman handed me a bag with a meatloaf sandwich, a blueberry muffin, and a very ripe banana. The banana will be frozen for smoothies or banana bread and the tasty muffin went to my daughter. But that sandwich... Perfectly cooked meatloaf on white, lightly toasted bread with a smear of mayo and a little cranberry sauce with lettuce and tomato. Not much to look at, honestly. But omg one bite and I was in heaven. This was the best meatloaf I've ever had, hands down. I make a pretty decent one myself, but this shit was next level. I tried to save half because I wanted my husband to be able to try it, but I just couldn't stay away from the damn thing lol. Unfortunately, I think it was a special so they don't always have it. Get it if they have it! And I'll be back to try other stuff for sure.
