I am all in on Lima 32 Peruvian restaurant. Back in January, I noticed the Lima 32 sign in the old…read moreTacos mi Nachos space in Meriden. Something about the sign aesthetic made me think it would be a good place. I Yelp-Searched it, and Lima 32 damn near had a perfect rating based on less than 50 reviews. I'm a Food Blogger. So I try to explore new places and avoid repeating spots I know. I've eaten at Lima 32 three times since January. Lima 32 is a small casual Peruvian spot located in a very small plaza in Meriden. Parking is tough, but they've done a nice job with the aesthetics inside. Lima 32 is also available on DoorDash within a certain area. I've now had the Lomo Saltado, the Arroz Con Marisco and the Chaufa de Pollo. Best Lomo Saltado I've ever had, and I've had a really expensive one at a famous CT spot. It's basically a beef and veggie stir fry. You can see the chef making it with fire in the pan if you have the right seat. The soy and oyster sauce based glaze is good salty. So flavorful and everything is perfectly cooked. Best Arroz Con Marisco I've ever had. It's a saucy Peruvian paella. The sauce (Aji Amarillo) has a well rounded creamy pepper flavor. The seafood, like crab, mussels and shrimp really stand out. I suspect the seafood varies depending on what's available. The Chaufa de Pollo, a Chinese fried rice style dish, was very good too. Huge pieces of chicken. Eat it with the delicious Aji Verde sauce. Is Lima 32 hidden? I don't know. But it sure the hell is a gem. It's must visit. 5 Stars

First time coming here and won't be the last…read more They have a variety of empanadas to choose from (beef, beef and cheese, chicken, chicken and cheese, bbq chicken, buffalo chicken, pork, pepperoni pizza, pizza, Shepards pie, Cuban!). They all come 2/$6 and AREN'T sold individually! Potato balls (pork, beef, chicken, buffalo chicken) They have side of rice and beans, rice and gandules, yellow rice, and Mac and cheese. They also have dessert empanadas with apple and guava and cheese. We got the beef empanadas and the apple pie with powdered sugar for desert! The apple pie empanadas were soo good! It was like a crispy and flaky pie in your hands!

Lots of Yelpers and CT foodies began to rave about Empanadas the place togo. I can absolutely see…read morewhy. You can tell because when you get there, there's usually a line. The staff is pleasant and helpful in recommending only the best for us to choose from. My husband and I wish we got more chicken and cheese ones because we ended up going rock paper scissors on who gets the last one from our order. I'm always a fan of a ground beef and cheese empanada and they delivered there as well. Perfect combo for the guava and cheese dessert empanadas. We even tried the potato fillers, which the one for the day was shepherds pie. We devoured everything and still think about those bites. My husband keeps asking "when are we going back to the empanadas place in Meriden" (he's not good with names). This means we will be back soon because we both can't wait!

Wow! Who would have thought this place existed in a Walmart plaza in Waterbury?! Location is…read moredefinitely a little awkward but once you step inside the whole place is a vibe! There are photo ops as soon as you walk in the door. The music is upbeat and pumpin, the staff was lively and soo awesome! And the food?! The food was delicious! So much flavor in the sauces and cremas, I was genuinely impressed. I had the shrimp and yuca dish and it was a 10/10! Drinks were flowing and desserts were creatively prepared and yummy. It was my friend's birthday and they even came out with her own dessert with happy birthday written on the plate with chocolate sauce. They came out singing with instruments and helped us to celebrate! It was a great night and I enjoyed everything about it. I will definitely be back!

My friend and I visited the restaurant on a Sunday around 10:30am. The ambiance is casual, and…read morewhile there's seating, it also seems to be a big take-out spot. There's parking in the front, but also a lot on the side. We both ordered the Calentado Colombiano. It was very good, but I didn't care for the rice. It might just be Colombian-style, but it was a little soupy for me. Otherwise, it was very good! We each also ordered a pan de bono with a guava filling... oh my! I've had pan de bono before in Ecuador, but never with a filling! It was so good. The coffee was also much better than at other places. There was prepared food and pastries and frituras in the front if you want something right away. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would return for more pan de bono and to maybe try a different dish.

Food presentation and decor was very well done. There is parking by the train station across the street that is not too far of a walk. It was pretty empty on a Wednesday night but staff was very attentive. They also have some TVs over the bar for watching sports which is nice too, as well as a nicer dining room for events. It was very cute and I would definitely return to try more things!

Hidden Gem Alert! First plate : The pepper steak was LEGIT…read more- tender and the yellow rice with beans topped it off Second plate : The pork shoulder was falling apart that had me wanting to lick the plate. Seriously, the meat was so juicy and flavorful. Same with the first plate yellow rice and bean with sauce . But the REAL star was the passionfruit drink. Fresh, icy, and so refreshing - exactly what I needed to cool down after those hearty dishes. Portion sizes are generous, prices are reasonable, and the flavors are authentic. Service was quick and friendly. My wife Door Dashed it to my job Pro tip: Come hungry and share with a friend Will 100% be ordering again

I was craving Tres Golpes this morning, so I stopped by Lolita's Kitchen in downtown Middletown…read more Everything is made fresh to order. The woman working went to the back to fry the cheese and prepare the rest of the meal, and my food was ready in about 7 minutes. The restaurant was clean, and the service was friendly. The Tres Golpes comes with mangú (mashed green plantains), fried cheese, Dominican salami, and sautéed onions. The combination of flavors is satisfying, and it's definitely a filling breakfast. That said, I paid $19 for this breakfast with a lime juice. While it was fresh and a good portion, I've had better Tres Golpes at other Dominican restaurants. Overall, it was a decent meal. If you're looking for authentic Dominican food in downtown Middletown, it's still worth giving them a try and deciding for yourself.
