If I can give more stars I would've. We were a big group and called in ahead. Good thing we did as they got packed midway through our meal. The service was phenomenal and the food temperatures were just perfect. All those we ordered. Everyone's order was different so we could share some of our food. The servings are mostly for a single serving. What was outstanding Ceviche (we ordered the fish 3 flavors) Octopus (best I've ever had - very tender) Shrimp & Steak Big Plate (we chose fried rice) The extra orders of plantain (we can't get enough of) Chicken fried rice (scrumptious) Grilled beef heart (also delicious) Seafood rice like paella was devoured by the group as well. Bathroom as mentioned by another reviewer was very clean. The place itself was minimally decorated but it was just perfect. When the weather gets cooler they can accommodate more people outside but currently it's just very warm. Parking is ample especially on a weekend when all the offices around them are closed. Come and try them when you are in Mesquite - passing by or just make it your meal stop and you won't be sorry. I would've love to take pictures but we were all very hungry so we devoured everything as it hit our table!!!! Yum yum read more

Been looking forward to coming here for lunch, but they don't open until 1pm every day except for Wednesday, when they are closed. Like everyone else in this town, I'm old. Dinner is at 5pm. Nobody is going to have lunch at 1pm then dinner 2-1/2 hours later. Open at 11am like literally every other restaurant on the planet, close from 3pm to 5pm, then reopen for dinner. It would also be helpful if they had a real website instead of a Square website where people could actually see a menu and learn more about the business. The restaurant business is hard enough without making it more difficult for your potential customers to know what you offer. The reviews are good for this place, so I'm fairly confident it's legit. I can only imagine how successful this place could be if it was set up properly. read more

Place is great! Considering that a lot of the restaurants in the area are limited on hours or they're just closed on a sundays for Utah. Nice clean place, menu is very simple. Plenty of parking. Restrooms very clean. The menu is very simple. The staff is very nice. The only thing that bum me out. The server couldn't customize the menu. All I wanted the pasta on the side without the meat. I ended up getting the beet salad. No doubt if i'm allowed to eat meat to my health situation. I know for sure I would have ate everything in that menu :) This place would have been tremendously awesome if there was more selections of vegetables and salad. Still a very good place, I recommend everyone to still come here. read more

Lama Peruvian cuisine - Big plate with shrimp and steak. - Peruvian Near Me - Mesquite, Nevada

We ate lunch at LAMA at the recommendation of someone who'd been there before and loved it. I can attest to the recommendation-it really was good. I enjoyed the chicken skewers, and my son had a fried chicken sandwich that was also super tasty (he was kind enough to let me try it). I had a Peruvian fresca drink that was unique and wonderful-I would have loved to get more of it, but after we got our first drinks, we were never offered refills. Service was friendly, although not very attentive. We had to wave someone down to request anything. However, the food was really good, so it was easier to look past that. I'd love to return and explore more of the menu. read more

10 stars! What a great find. This is a hidden gem that we stumbled upon while driving from St George to LV. The restaurant is close to the highway and there's plenty of parking. The restaurant is a bit tough to find as it's in a corporate park. The service was outstanding and the dishes were perfection. I honestly enjoyed this meal more than some of the high end restaurants on the strip. If passing through Mesquite, don't miss this place read more

Great food and great service. I can't say anything bad about this place. Bucci and his team know how to cook and serve delicious food.

In Mesquite for our daughter's sport event. We really weren't expecting much, but we were pleasantly surprised! This place is delicious!! A true hidden gem! I had lomo saltado and empanadas. I wanted to lick my plate clean, it was so good! We ordered one for the road!! Empanada dough was flaky and light and the chicken and beef fillings were delicious! We will definetly be back anytime we're in Mesquite! read more

We waited for an hour and my kids were getting antsy so we decided to ask how much longer. They said there were still 2 tables ahead of us so we cancelled the order and left. The maracuyá drink was good though. read more

What a gem of a restaurant! Definitely worth the stop if you're passing through the area. The food was amazing, perfectly prepared, high quality ingredients and everything was hot and made to order. The service was great, the owners were very friendly, and it had a wonderful ambiance. It's tucked into an office complex, but easily visible from the street with plenty of parking and signage to guide you in. Will definitely be back! read more

Great service, good food. The ceviche was great. It was very expensive for what it was, especially the rice dishes, so I don't know how often I would go back. read more

What a wonderful find! I had the best pisco sour I have ever had. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The empanadas had an almost croissant-like light and flaky crust. The sauces were delicious. And the staff were warm, helpful and fun. Don't miss this treasure in Mesquite! read more

Rating of 2 stars because the staff was very friendly. Went for dinner, party of 4. Three of us ordered some variation of a chicken dinner. After ordering, the server returned saying "Sorry, but we have no chicken because it hasn't been defrosted". Now, this restaurant basically serves chicken, beef and pork in some form. Chicken hadn't been defrosted at 6 pm on Thursday??? We tried someplace different read more

Great food and amazing service. Had the mahi mahi cevichi, beef fried rice and empanadas. All were great. Now i see why this place is 4.7 stars. Defintly coming back to try other dishes. Also i suggest getrinf the pisco sours. Those were fire!!! read more

I had the tacu tacu con Pollo. It was a chicken dish with vegetables in a delicious sauce with rice and beans. The flavor was very good. The serving size was not large by any means, so do not plan on sharing this plate. read more

Wow this place is a hidden gem! Came to Mesquite from Big Bear to see the folks and they took us to Lama. I was skeptical at first but I ordered the ceviche 3 ways and was really blown away!

A wonderful place to eat! Everything is made authentically. The wait staff is helpful and friendly!! They are happy to explain the food if you have any questions. I recently got new menus, which are helpful because they have pictures of the food. our adult son was visiting and he liked it so much the first night, he wanted to come back a second! Enjoyed the Salado's, both shrimp and beef. The Peruvian burger is delicious and the short ribs, tender, and flavorful. On a previous visit, enjoyed the empanadas--offered one chicken and one beef (two come with the order, although technically an appetizer, I got it as my meal, adding the delicious beet salad to go with it to complete the meal ) we tried one of the refreshing Peruvian Specialty drinks, and although we have not tried the desserts, they look delicious. A unique, friendly and delicious place to come eat in Mesquite Nevada. read more

Passing through Mesquite ....L.a.m.a Peruvian restaurant caught our interest. Not easy to find in a business center 1/4 mile north of I 15 in MESQUITE, NV. Across from Casablanca Casino. This is the best restaurant we've had on our road trips to California in the last 10 years. It is a cross between Mexican/Asian/South American. The potato/chicken/avocado appetizer is to die for. The three flavored ceviche appetizer is wonderful as well. Both dishes are very filling, flavorful and made the order in the kitchen. I expect when they get busy it may take a few minutes to bring these orders out, but we had great service and cannot speak more highly of the family that are trying to make a go of it. This is not your traditional Mesquite restaurant. Please try it. It is the place we will be going next time we come through. read more

This was our families first time trying Peruvian. We tried a few things on the waitresses recommendations. The food was great, the other great part was the waitress and cook (I assume the owners) were so nice and happy to have us. It felt like eating in their home. Would highly recommend read more

Lama Peruvian cuisine - Chicken, vegetables, and noodle dish! Was fabulous!!! - Peruvian Near Me - Mesquite, Nevada

The food was not good and we ordered seafood rice dish and they gave us seafood noodles and they were also there was only like two or three shrimp. They ran out of seafood so they should've told us that before we had a group of 16 and they obviously could not handle it And the food was very salty. I expected Moore with a high rating that it had but was very disappointed and do not recommend this place. The service also was very bad and the thing is that we had a big party, but the rest of the restaurant was empty so they should've accommodated us. read more

We visit Mesquite frequently, and this was our first venture outside of casino food and fast food. The food was delicious and the service was great. Since it was our first time eating there, we had a lot of questions, and the owner was very informative. We ended up ordering the No. 1 and No. 9 for dinner after he described several dishes to us. There is also a bar menu. It is a little hard to find because it is at the back of some medical offices. read more

Peruvian food in Mesquite? Wasn't on my bingo card but boy, does it work! Have been back 3 times and each entree outdoes the previous one!

Oh my God. I do not know where to start. This place would definitely be a stop every time. I'm on my way to Utah. Or on the way back. Going home. The service was tremendous and the food was fresh. If you're driving through. Mesquite is a must stop. I had the seafood fried rice. Fire. read more

Food was excellent. Filled with flavor! I had the saute pasta and steak, Caesar salad and the Peruvian ice cream.

Empanadas were flaky and delicious. Ceviche was perfect. Tried a bit of others saltado and pasta dishes and they were quite good too. Wait staff were really kind and welcoming. They played a Peruvian version of rappers delight at some point the atmosphere was great. read more

My friend and I decided to check out Lama for the first time. We decided on a late lunch before heading to the Art Gallery for a paint and pour. We were impressed with all the different options on the menu. Our waiter, Jonathan was extremely helpful when we had questions and we had a lot of questions! We both ordered these Sudado Seafood Mix. It was moist flavored rice with mahi mahi,shrimp,scallops,calamari,tomatoes &aji amarrillo. It comes with a nice green sauce on the side. I ordered the jalapeño green sauce. I can't begin to tell you how fresh and delicious my dish was. Lama only uses fresh seafood and vegetables. The menu has chicken dishes and nice steak dish and seafood, it's hard to make a decision! I ordered a Peruvian con agua fresca. It was absolutely delicious, not too sweet and extremely refreshing. We wanted dessert and Jonathan explained in detail the dessert menu. Again, all fresh ingredients. My friend and I split the ice cream, I never tasted something like this. So delicious. We were bad and ordered the flan to go. It was my breakfast this morning with my coffee. I relished every bite. My friend and I really enjoyed eating at Lama. I have been wanting to try it for so long and it was well worth the wait. We told Jonathan that we will be seeing him again soon. He was all smiles and said to come back soon. We will!! The decor is clean and simple. A few customers have brought in. It's a nice touch. I would give Lama a 10 star rating if I could! read more
