I love their food. We always get the causa which is the molded potato with either camarones or pollo. Ceviche is great. The portions are huge. And I love that. It's located in a strip mall next to the Indian grocery store. Never judge a book by. It's covered. This place is amazing. read more

Service was kind and fast. I went here after hearing tons of good things about their ceviche and lomo Saltado. I personally did not love the lomo. It was good and its a good option for the area but did not wow me. It was the only dish I had though so I would come back to try others! read more

The food is terrible Never again and the prices don't match the cost the food. Three guests none of us like it The food need improvement not the typical Peruvian food read more

Yesterday with my family we bought a pollo a la brasa here, and as Peruvians, we know perfectly well what chicken should taste like. The chicken was very dry, it had no seasoning at all, and on top of that it seemed like it was from the previous day. It didn't taste like pollo a la brasa at all; it's like buying a $5 rotisserie chicken at Walmart. It's a total disappointment, we will never come back. read more

Disgusting!!! My boyfriend picked up two lomos, and when I was already eating after a long day, I found a curly hair!!! It looks like from a beard, I hope. Then another one, then another one! Three hairs!!! I just threw it away. It was so disgusting that I almost threw up. I called the restaurant, and they told me they were going to reimburse him for one lomo, which is the minimum they can do, but I hope they start wearing hairnets and covering those beards. read more

Fiesta Limena - Chicken? or chick? - Peruvian Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Love the food here. Medio Pollo or Chaufa are my go to. Love the lomo as well. Eating in is always the best so you can eat as much green sauce as you want and the bread they bring out is great as well. read more

The absolute best lomo ever!!!!!! A++++++ Aji green sauce.. I could drink by the gallon. Friendly service as well. Location is in a bit of a beat up plaza and dosent have ambience by any means but the food is A++++++++++ read more

The food is great and the aji is the best around. But It's a tad annoying when the restaurant adds an automatic gratuity. I usually tip 25% for great service, 18-20% for okay service and 15% for poor service. Not your traditional standards... but, that said gratuity has always been an optional expense for people. If you're going to charge an automatic gratuity please notify your customers or have it posted at the entrance and visibly at the host stand. It's also disgusting that you even added an additional recommendation to tip on top. It's almost as if you're hoping people don't realize and double tip. read more

Fiesta Limena - Automatic gratuity for 2 people and then an additional gratuity recommendation at the bottom? The greediness is disgusting! - Peruvian Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

We had a hankering for Peruvian food and instead of going to our favorite place in Fairfield, decided to try another place in Norwalk. This place was recommended by Jane Stern who is a food critic for the News times. So the place is in a shopping mall off of Route 1 (Connecticut Ave) next to an Indian supermarket. Parking is tight but there is space available. The decor and ambiance isn't much to look at. The seating is grey plastic booths and where we were seated, we actually were facing the wait staff, kitchen and bathroom areas. So i guess it was quite open. But the layout is quite poor and hopefully they think about changing that. The service was decent. Our waiter took our order promptly and our appetizer arrived super fast. Oh and they did bring out a bread basket with bread that actually tasted really good but no butter. I thought the papa huancaina was great, but my hubby thought the aji could have been spicier. I was happy! Our dinners were delicious but not as juicy as we're use to. So if you're ordering lomo Saltado, remember to ask for 'jugoso' which means 'juicy' in spanish. Our waiter was attentive despite it becoming busy but we did like him. So why not a "4", I'll tell you. Remember I said we were facing the wait staff? Well, as the young lady with dark hair in a long pony tail was filling up the bread basket, the thin wax paper that's placed below the bread falls to the floor. She snatches it off the floor and then proceeds to put bread in the basket. I think the side that actually touched the floor was against the basket, not the food, but i have to tell you i was shocked. I kept watch the rest of the time and didn't see it happen again, but i kept thinking, would you serve this to your family? Anyway, food and service were good, but unfortunately we're not going back. And if you see a young thin girl with long dark hair, think twice about eating the bread. read more

Had my chaufa de pollo in the restaurant and it was wonderful. I shared the full size entree with a friend and it was a very generous portion and delicious. The chicken was tender and not rubbery at all. So hard to describe but the rice almost had this delicate quality to it, still fluffy. It was just so GOOD. The aji sauce as always is the best around. Our server was very nice and came by a couple of times to check on us. One note, the tile floors seemed slippery and I was wearing Tevas and was still concerned about slipping on the way to the restroom. read more

We found this place, last minute, when we were looking for some Peruvian food. We were extremely surprised by the service and quality of food. The flavor was outstanding, and I still think about it to this day! I would recommend 100%, the chicken and the pork chops were cooked perfectly, and I would definitely recommend the plantains read more

Love the food and alcoholic drinks! Great to go with the family. They play music all day and love it! Lomo saltado is me personal favorite and pollo a la brasa are the best! I do not recommend desserts! I tried all and was not satisfied with desserts and I am a sucker for desserts! The people are nice Parking is not bad at all Best salsa aji I've tried! read more

I normally stick with 2 other Peruvian restaurants, but I decided to venture out. Now I can only rate a place on my go-to meal of pollo saltado. It's not lomo saltado which is the gold standard of peruvian food in my opinion but if a place can do those 2 well then they will get my business. The pollo saltado portion size seemed a little bigger than others which is nice. Normally, pollo saltado has a hint of spice in it but not this one. The peppers and onions had a nice crunch to them which I loved but there was no flavor to anything. It was very blend, including the aji surprisingly. Fyi the food was done very quickly. I don't know if I would order from here again since it wasn't better than my go to spots. It was quick pick up which is convenient. Maybe some of the other items are better but that's not for me to try! Come check it out. read more

Food was great! we've been coming to this place for over 5 years they never disappoint. Food is tasty and authentic, decent pricing, very generous amount of food. Very fast service and the ambient is over all cultural. It's in a nice location and clean. really enjoy it and no matter how late it is they always have a smile on their face. read more

I have been to this place now four times and every time I have experienced consistently good and flavored food and service. The wait staff is eager to help, provide their recommendations, though they do not speak very good English, they are still able to point out, what as a customer I should try. Their Lomo Saltado is absolutely delicious and I have also tried their seafood dishes such as Pescado Sudado, which was also very good. They do have fruit drink called "Chicha Morada - Peruvian purple corn and fruit drink with a hint of cinnamon"; that was interesting. Plenty of parking and can get busy in the evenings read more

Okay...I hear you, the service might not be top notch, the best of the best. But I hear some whiners, and I think that they are part of the problem - stop being such a giiiiit and maybe you will have better experiences when you go places. I have never been upset with the service, and in fact, I am always SHOCKED with how quickly food comes out. Yea, the place isn't beautiful, and they need to spend money on updates, but don't change the kitchen, because that's where the magic happens. Well, I digress. The food here is worth whatever difficulties you have with the service and the decor. Where else can you get cheap food that tastes delicious. That Aji sauce - I could eat it off a foot. When you saturate your lomo soltado in it, no other restaurant has a chance. I have been here multiple times, and my criteria for 5 stars is a craving after I leave, and thank you Fiesta Limena for giving me that craving. If I do find better lomo soltado, then I will be the one who has touched by an angel. read more

The food is really good here. I love their roasted chicken, beans and rice are delicious and everyone is so nice.

One of my favorite Peruvian places in Ct. The interior might not be the most aesthetically appealing, but the service and food is always spot on. A nice place to grab some lunch! Three and a half stars. read more

Very expensive food, when I got it it was cold.. very disappointed plus you have to pay for water what kind of restaurant is this???? they added a 15% tip automatically I was not warned about this... At the end of this place left me up with a bad taste I will never go back read more

Great Place Big Portions and Good food. Highly recommend for a quick bit to eat! I go here for the Lomo Saltado

The food here is absolutely amazing! The ceviche pescado was very fresh and full of flavor. The chicken chaufa was to die for. The Passionfruit Pisco Sours were amazing, and Maria was absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend eating at this restaurant, will be back! read more

Beware they automatically charge 15% on the bill. Do no tip twice. They told me they will refund me .... We will see.

Another lovely quick perfect meal!!! We're so lucky to have this place, attentive service, food is always even and flavorful! read more

This place doesn't give you a satisfying experience or food. I've gone about 5 times in total and SOMETHING IS ALWAYS OFF each time - weather it be the waiters/service , the food, the bill, the portions , the freshness and the quality overall. I would recommend going to port Chester where there are many other Peruvian restaurants with better quality. I won't go back. read more

Fiesta Limena - Looks decent but it wasn't fresh and the flavor is bland. The fish tasted weird - Peruvian Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Solid fairly inexspensive Peruvian food in a clean & pleasant atmosphere. I have only been once for lunch, on the recommendation of friends. Stand outs: 1/2 pollo a la Brasa was moist, nice portion, seasoned just right & accompanied by shiny tender white rice & a small salad of iceburge lettuce, Bermuda onion, tomatoes, citrus dressing. @ $7 it's a really good deal for a sold hot meal. Fresh bread was promptly served w their house traditional Peruvian dipping sauce which was good but definately not the best version I've ever had. Nice friendly service. Food came out quickly! Varied menu with nice options like calamari, salads, soups, cevechi, chicken, shrimp, fish, organ meats, beef etc. Huge private parking. Pleasant colorful interior w booths & tables. read more

I haven't eaten many items from the menu here but I've enjoyed all of the dishes I've ordered. I always order the Chaufa de Carne (Peruvian style fried rice) or Lomo Saltado. If you ever eat here, I'd highly recommend ordering one of those two dishes. I also enjoy eating the aji sauce which is delicious (some may consider it spicy but it's not that hot). The aji sauce is so good that you can basically put it on anything and it'll make it taste better. The only downfall at Fiesta is the decor/atmosphere and the service, however, these aren't deal breakers by any means. read more

Ok, I decided give them another chance, I ordered food for pick up, and to my surprise they added a tip to a check? Like seriously, who does it? I always tip when I dine in or order delivery, sometimes I tip couple bucks when pick up. But how dare you to add tip for pick up orders??? Cashier did't speak english, when I asked why the bill is 25 $ two servers who were standing there taked sh..t about me in Spanish. The problem is that I speak Spanish too and I understood every word they said." Maricon " was one of the words. I DO NOT recommend this restaurantl to people if you don't want to be talked behind your back . And also adding tips is illegal. They just lost customer who came there often for 14 years. Plus the food felt like it came out of microwave. Owner should fire managers and probably half of servers. read more

First time actually eating at the place since we do mostly take outs. Busy for a Saturday night even though we came during the latter part of the dinner rush. Luckily, a few tables opened up and we were seated immediately. We already knew what we want so we ordered everything at the same time just to make it easier for our waiter. Our food was a little salty but still good. I just wish our waiter was a little more attentive with our drinks. I understand it was busy and all but don't forget about us. We finally flagged him down for our check and I noticed that the tip was automatically added. I'm not a big fan of restaurants that includes the gratuity in the bill. This should be the discretion of the diners on how the service was during their meal- read more

Guys. If you plan to eat here please don't do it!!! I got sick from their food and they didn't pass health inspection. Meats are expired and the green sauce as well. One of my friends work here and tells me this all day... I'm just looking out for you guys read more

Ate here for the first time. From the outside it looks like a regular place, but the food was very good. My boyfriend and I had the Lomo Saltado with Mango juice & it was amazing. The green sauce was the best one I've ever had. Everyone that worked there was very nice and made you feel like family. Would definitely go back again!! read more

THE BEST RESTAURANT IN TOWN! When I tell you that I love this place, I mean it. It may not have the decor that one would expect, but the taste of the food can not be beat. The Lomo Saltado is superb. With green Aji sauce, you can't go wrong. I love it. #FiestaFridays read more

amazing service our waitress Valentina was very kind

I have been coming to this place for years & the food is really good, but today I went for lunch with my family and a roach climbed up the wall, when I asked the manager he said it might've been because they had just "fumigated" the place, which basically means they have roach problems, they did apologize gave us free dessert and chance to change our table, I wasn't able to eat my food so they took my plate out of the check which was nice, I just think it was unsanitary , and seems like they've been having this problem for a while since they had to fumigate. I won't be coming back ! read more

The service was decent. The waitress was pleasant. The food however. Ehhhhhhh No. Overcooked. The milenesa tasted like old oil and was dry. The Jalea had very little fish and was way too chewy if your a seafood fanatic. The Rice was surprisingly the best pry. It was simple and tasty. read more

Guess I'll give it 3 stars since the meal was okay. Definitely have had tastier Peruvian style chicken. Meat was tender though, somewhat flavorful but the green side sauce was not - it was just pure hotness. White rice- bland. Plantains- very flavorful but bit too greasy. Iceberg lettuce- too watery- not good but the dressing served with it was very tasty. Place was packed. It's a good value for all you get, I guess! read more

We order quite frequently and typically we enjoy the red chili sauce rather than the green sauce. Feels a bit annoyed when they wanted to charge for red chili sauce even when we return the green sauce in exchange. read more

I've been to two of the Fiesta locations in the CT area. The first location I went to was Fiesta Atlantic in Stamford and, unfortunately, both my husband and myself came down with a serious case of food poisoning after eating at their restaurant. Needless to say, it was not pretty. We tried Fiesta Limena on a whim one day when leaving Best Buy. It was lunch time, it was rainy, and we were hungry so we popped in. First thing you'll note is that it's not very bright inside - it's pretty dark and not at all sunny/inviting in terms of ambiance. The food, however, is excellent. We have had the lomo saltado, the seafood soup, and the ceviche. We usually stick to those since we have had them and know that we will like them. The aji is great - it's served with plenty of fresh bread for dipping and is the perfect combination of heat and creamy. The portions are huge but they do tend to err on the side of starchy - lots of potatoes, rice, etc. I do love the fish soup simply because it's a huge portion of light, flaky fish served in a clear, savory broth with plenty of lime and cilantro. It's delicious and at around $7/bowl it's a steal. If you are in the mood for Peruvian food this is definitely a great restaurant. I have some wonderful memories of quiet, stolen moments with my husband and with the food being delicious and plentiful we will definitely be back! read more

Came here for the first time with a group on a friend's recommendation. I have never tried Peruvian cuisine, so I was very intrigued by the choices. Nonetheless, I chose a Peruvian Paella dish which fell flat. It tasted like a frozen, store brand version with a couple extra items tossed in, a bit of octopus, 1/2 a crab and 2 mussels. Nothing like real paella. On recommendation, our table sampled a goat heart appetizer as well, which actually was pretty good. I had a bite of the lomo saltado, and it tasted like chinese beef and broccoli, but with french fries instead of broccoli. Very, very salty dish. I couldn't complain about the price or the service. Best recommendation I can give - Go with whatever your server recommends if you don't know the cuisine. I think that was part of my mistake. read more
