    Okayyyy Aji Limon... why is every bite making me want to dance a little? Started with the fried calamari and fish ceviche -- super fresh, crispy, and packed with flavor. The steak and egg was juicy and comforting, and the Pescado a lo Macho came loaded with seafood goodness. If you love soup, the Parihuela seafood soup is rich, hearty, and perfect for seafood lovers. And don't skip the maracuyá passion fruit juice... seriously so refreshing. For dessert, the picarones were warm, sweet, and dangerously addictive. Plus the chocolate cake? Gone in seconds The portions are HUGE, so come hungry or be ready for leftovers. The vibe is cozy with fun Latin music playing, and the staff was super sweet even when it got busy. Aji Limon definitely gave me happy food coma energy

    We came here because my son has to do an extra credit report about Peruvian food. So we decided to stop by on a Sunday lunch. The place is located in a strip mall with a bunch of other restaurants. The outside is not impressive, but the inside is definitely quaint and clean. We ordered three dishesb(fried rice not shown). All dishes are between $22-27. Absolutely tasty! I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised with how fresh and everything was delicious. Portions are quite generous, so come hungry. Service was good and attentive. We though roughly enjoyed our food here and will be back! POV: I tried two of their fresh juices. There's a happy hour where these are only five dollars. I have to come back and try these during those times!

    The food was delicious and everything came out fresh and flavorful! This was our first time at Aji Limon, and we had a great experience. Our server, Christian, was fantastic--very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. He even let us taste some of the drinks before choosing, which we really appreciated and made our first visit even more enjoyable. Great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service. We'll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Christian, for making our first visit such a great one!

    Peruvian food is one of my top 10 favorite cuisines, and I've tried most items on Ají Limón's menu when I was in Peru. I find the food here to be decent to satisfy my random Peruvian food cravings and not wildly far off from the food I had in Peru. I had gotten takeout here a few times but finally dined in for a weekday lunch recently. Didn't get the server's name, but service was amazing. We did stand by the entrance for a few minutes before anyone greeted us and seated us, but that could be due to the restaurant layout that's somewhat of an upside down L shape, and most people were sitting tucked inside away from the entrance. I've got ceviche mixto and recently ceviche mariscos. Both are satisfying. The difference is the mixto contains white fish and all the other seafood (shrimp, octopus, squid, mussels) while the ceviche mariscos only contains the non-fish seafood. They are not cheap, but the portion is generous and it is quite a lot of seafood. We got medium spicy for dine in, which was the right call. I think I had gotten spicy in the past, and while I love spicy food and have good tolerance, it was still spicy to me and distracted a bit from enjoying the seafood. The ceviche comes with sweet potato, yucca, boiled corn, and cancha (Peruvian corn nuts). And no meal is complete without a chicha morada. I also enjoy anything with platano frito. If I recall correctly, the tallarín verde and lúcuma ice cream were pretty good, too. The pionono is okay; I'm not a huge fan of sponge cake, and the dulce de leche is very sweet. I prefer Porto's tres leches cake, which I know isn't Peruvian, but is perfect for my taste.

    Been here a few times and the food is always great! We ordered the Ceviche Mixto, Tenderloin Saltado, and I wanted to try something different, so I went with the Anticuchos (Skewered Beef Hearts). I was afraid it would taste gamey, but our friendly server assured me it wouldn't. I am so glad I went for it because the dish was so good, especially with the sauce it came with!

    Still delicious! This is my absolute favorite Peruvian spot. Everything I have tried here has been absolutely delicious and full of flavor. I especially love getting the jug of agua de maracuyá. It is so good. The customer service is great, the place is super comfy, and every employee here is just lovely. This spot never disappoints and is always a treat to visit.

    We've been to Aji Limon twice now while looking for a solid Peruvian spot, especially since my fiancé is Peruvian and we tend to be pretty particular when it comes to classic dishes. On our first visit, we tried the Arroz Chaufa (Beef) and shared the Ceviche de Mariscos. The Arroz Chaufa was easily the highlight -- flavorful, well-balanced, and cooked just right. It stood out more than the Tallarín Saltado we tried later and is something I'd definitely reorder. The Ceviche de Mariscos was really good. The mix of shrimp, squid, baby octopus, and mussels was fresh and well-marinated in lemon juice, and it paired nicely with the corn and sweet potatoes. It was refreshing, bright, and a solid seafood dish overall. I also wanted to try Picarones, which I'd never had before. I was debating whether to order them, and I believe it was the owner who was taking our order. After I asked a few questions, he kindly brought us an order to try, which was very much appreciated and not something he had to do. The picarones were warm, light, and drizzled with a sweet chancaca syrup -- a great introduction to the dessert. On our second visit, we wanted to try another Peruvian classic and ordered the Lomo Saltado. It was decent, but with my fiancé being Peruvian, we're a bit picky with this dish. For us, it leaned too heavily on the soy sauce. We also tried the Tallarin Saltado (Seafood), which had good flavor, but overall, the Arroz Chaufa still stood out more. We finished with Helado de Lúcuma, a classic Peruvian dessert made from native lúcuma fruit. It was creamy with a subtle citrusy sweetness and a nice way to end the meal. Overall, Aji Limon has some strong dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. The kindness from the staff, especially the owner, really stood out, and while some classics didn't fully hit for us, the Arroz Chaufa and Ceviche de Mariscos are definitely worth coming back for

    Delicious food, place is very busy during the weekend we have to wait for 20 minutes for a table, the food is really worth it, the portions are very big and the ceviche in particular was really great. Our sever was also very nice and helpful, also the food doesn't take a long time, they are actually fast, also the chicha was very good.

    Lomo saltado
    Axel C.

    Ají Limón delivered one of the best Peruvian meals I've had in a long time. I ordered the Lomo Saltado, and it was superb -- perfectly seasoned, beautifully balanced between the Peruvian ají amarillo and the Chinese‑influenced soy sauce and vinegar. The veggies were vibrant, the fries stayed crispy, and the meat was cooked exactly to temperature. It's a tricky dish to get right, but they absolutely nailed it. My wife had the Ceviche de Camarón, and she couldn't wait to dig in. The shrimp tasted incredibly fresh, the lime, red onion, cilantro, and ají amarillo/limo pepper came together with that bright citrus‑chili punch you want in a true Peruvian ceviche. Even the details were spot‑on: perfectly cooked choclo and sweet potato with just the right texture. The only thing I'd tweak is the chicha morada -- a bit sweet for my taste, but easy to adjust with a splash of water without losing the flavor. To top it all off, the manager, Angel, stopped by to check on us, which says a lot about their attention to customers. With flavors like these, I'll definitely be coming back and recommending Ají Limón to anyone craving authentic Peruvian cuisine.

    Saltado de Pescado
    Isaac Z.

    The yummiest fish saltado! Honestly any kind of saltado is delicious here. The one I got specifically is "à la pobre" version which comes with plantains and a runny egg. There's plenty of searing inside and the waiters are always so nice and attentive. Whenever I'm in the area I always try to go here

    Breakfast Lomito al Jugo
    Joyce F.

    This is the place for the best Peruvian food. We got the Lomito al Jugo. The beef is moist and melts in your mouth. The sauce is incredibly delicious I asked for more. We also got Seco de Carne. It came with a bread to dip into the sauce. Another sauce to die for. The beef is also moist and tender. Vanessa assisted us which ones to get. She knows her stuff very well. The place is huge with lots of tables. We can say this is a Peruvian fine dining restaurant. We now found our Peruvian place to eat. We'll be back to try everything on the menu. There's also lots of parking space.

    Bistec a lo Pobre
    Cori R.

    This was my first time here and the food is amazing! Also, I forgot our server's name but she was so nice and provided great service. I will definitely be coming back. I got the bistec à la pobre (I think that's what it's called) but that was amazing. I added fried rice instead of white rice. I definitely recommend this place. The restaurant is also clean, and has great pictures of Peru.

    Ceviche Aji Limon Mixto
    Kelly L.

    I've been to this restaurant two times now and even after all these years, it's still delicious. It's true Peruvian and the ceviche is comparable to the one I've had in Peru. It's a smaller hole-in the wall, but the food is worth it if you're willing to get out of your comfort zone. Our server, didn't catch her name, nice younger girl with a long ponytail, made wonderful suggestions and was helpful throughout the meal! Food: I was looking to try something other than lomo Saltado, so I ordered the linguine saltado. It's humongous by the way. Portions are shareable. Even the side of plantains were a lot for the three of us. We enjoyed every bite. My favorite thing was definitely the ceviche. Very sour, lots of lime, super traditional. Our server brought us a spicy sauce on the side which tasted like a red wasabi - it packs a lot of heat so beware! Prices are completely reasonable and actually, worth it, when you try the food and see the portions.

If you work at a restaurant, you should probably know the menu--or at least be willing to find out the answer. The food was even worse. The seafood was rubbery, overcooked, and definitely not worth the ridiculous price. I've had better seafood for a fraction of the cost. Overall, rude service, bad food, overpriced menu, and a complete waste of money. Save yourself the disappointment and go somewhere else. Definitely will not be coming back.

I think it's a prime candidate for just bringing a book to allow time for your food to digest after. I think this spot will be a new addition to the local eat rotation, especially after the Fullerton Central Library meet-ups.
