Great service! David our server was very friendly and recommended the lomo saltado, arroz chaufa de mariscos, and jalea. We got the lomo saltado, arroz chaufa de mariscos. Food was okay. Tasted kind of bland but it might have been that night. Again huge shout out to David for being such a great host. I got to practice my Spanish which is always a win. read more

Very solid Peruvian food, and I'm so glad that they are here in Austin - we definitely don't have enough. That said, not quite five stars yet for me, but will for sure be back and try more things from the menu. Ceviche: loved this! Good portion size, very fresh fish. Will get again. Sweet plantains: nothing to complain about here: again a good portion size. Nice ripe plantains, slight crisp on outside, soft in the middle. Will get again. Arroz con mariscos: The seafood is very good - it was all tender, perfectly cooked and a good amount of it. But I was less enthused about the rice which was a little lacking in flavor and much too wet. This I probably wouldn't get again. Alfajore: very very good. Fairly thin cookie, delicious dulce de lèche filling. Always love these. read more

I've been meaning to try Lima Criolla for a while now, and I finally had the chance to eat lunch here recently. I came in on a weekday at noon and about a third of the restaurant was filled. My server was fast and attentive throughout my time here. I had the fried plantains and the Lomo Saltado. The plantains were nice and sweet, and I enjoyed the crispy exterior on the pieces I had! I do wish the plantains were cut a little smaller though. The Lomo Saltado was great! The beef and onions were cooked and seasoned perfectly. I loved eating the garlic rice with the leftover liquid that came from cooking the beef. The reason I put 4 stars instead of 5 was because the French fries that came with the Lomo Saltado were not great. They weren't very crispy to begin with, and they quickly became soggy after my dish was served to me. This was probably the most disappointing part of my lunch at Lima Criolla, but otherwise, the overall experience was good and I would recommend that you try eating here! read more

I love Peruvian food. It's probably my favorite type of cuisine. There isn't a whole lot in the world that can't be made better by the addition of fried plantains. The service is always good when I go, and the mixed drinks are strong. When the weather is nice, get a seat on the patio. If you're looking for exciting cuisine, this is not the place. If you want good, solid Peruvian comfort food done well, this will fit the bill. read more

The steak in it was a bit chewy. It also came with two potato that were shaped like boiled eggs. The lomo saltado limeño steak was good. The fries in it were good too. The rice was okay.

If you are looking for some authentic Peruvian food, look no further -- Lima Criolla is THE Peruvian Cuisine to visit. Prior to COVID-19, we visited Peru for about 2 weeks and have missed their food ever since. Lima Criolla fixed that problem because their food and drinks are delicious and authentic. We ordered the Ceviche Limeño, Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos, Pisco Sour, and Chicha Morada. Let's start off with the drinks. Both the Pisco Sour and Chicha Morada tasted the same as they did back in Peru -- in particular, the Pisco Sour tasted like the one we had in Huacachina and the Chicha Morada tasted exactly the same like the one we had in Ollantaytambo. If you had to pick between the two, go with the Chicha Morada. We had Chicha Morada from almost every restaurant we went to, but nothing could be compared to the one in Ollantaytambo. The Ceviche Limeño and Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos were both very delicious. The Ceviche Limeño provides a refreshing taste, and it isn't at all heavy. My only complaint is that I wished they provided more vegetables on the plate. The Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos was hot and filling. It may have just been my plate, but the bigger shrimp was placed on top while the remaining shrimps within the rice were all small shrimps -- it's just something I noticed. The customer service was superb. The person who served us was extremely nice and quite humorous, I'd say. She was very sweet and kind. It's an A+ from me. When I visit Austin again, I would definitely return to Lima Criolla. I haven't had an authentic Peruvian dish anywhere else but here. Everything, from the drinks, to the food, to the customer service, was absolutely perfect. Lima Criolla has something for everyone. Want something refreshing? Get the Ceviche Limeño. Want some seafood with rice? Get the Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos. Underage but looking for a refreshing drink? Get the Chicha Morada. There's something for everyone here. read more

After reading the reviews about the restaurant, my family and I decided to go there for lunch. On the menu (photos), the food looked awesome. However, what a disappointment! We ordered four different dishes, which were quite pricey, and none of them were good. The beef on the plates was tough and chewy. Apart from the service (waiter) that was very receptive, I would not recommend the restaurant and advise that the reviews are definitely misleading. read more

I REALLY wanted to LOVE this place... the food was good. However, the big turn off is the awful service. No one asked to refill our drinks, they brought us the wrong order (which we didn't send back because the kitchen is slow), never checked on us, not even enough napkins. I truly feel bad for the kitchen who appears to be swamped. The actual servers/wait staff personnel areTERRIBLE!!! The food takes forever and the waitstaff is standing around gossiping (I imagine) or standing idle. The GM/owner/management really need to reevaluate this situation. You can easily tell other customers were frustrated as well. Please, do better- we need good Peruvian places in Texas.... read more

We arrived right before the rush. Since it was a nice night we sat outside. Clean and spacious. First appetizer - 6.5/10 - taste was pretty good, probably would have been a lot better if it was hot. We didn't expect it to be cold. It gave potato chicken salad flavors. The white sauce on the plate was really tasty. Chicken empanada - a bit disappointed since the empanada was mostly air (see picture). We couldn't really taste chicken flavor however the meat was very seasoned. Arros con pollo - 4.5/10 - rice was decent. The chicken had a lot of skin. The flavor of the chicken was very bland. Peruvian fried rice - 7/10 - played it safe and got fried rice. Didn't get any Peruvian flavor vibes just fried rice. Was a tad greasy. We didn't order any alcoholic drinks, just waters. I wonder if this was the reason the waiters didn't check on us much to see if we needed anything during our meal. There were other tables outside drinking alcoholic beverages that the waiters seems to visit often during their meal. Nonetheless this will be a "one and done" for me. read more

Little further north in Austin, but if you're looking for something different this Peruvian spot def was worth a try! They had so many different options in the menu and I look forward to coming back and trying the other options they had. We got a steak empanada & it was delightful! Very light and airy. The dough was a little in the sweeter side but the inside steak evened it out with the savory salty side. Ceviche mixto was worth the $$! Such great flavors and they do not skimp out on the portion!!! Also ordered the Aji de gallina- the flavors were very good! Reminded me of an Indian curry with similar spices. The rice was also so yummy! The chicken was a little in the drier side - looked Kike shredded chicken breast. Potato's we're cooked perfectly. Had a friend get the lomo saltado limeno & said it was good! The meat gave me a Mongolian beef Smokey taste. read more

I was recently on tik tok and saw someone post a video from Lima Criolla and it looked delicious so I thought- let's give it another try and I'm glad I did! We came on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, and the place was busy! We sat outside which was really enjoyable. Our waitress was very friendly and between her and the man outside the service was much better (although she did disappear towards the end and I had to hunt or check down). But she tecommended the pisco sour drinks we had and they were delicious! We got the pesto pasta with steak and the seafood fried rice dishes. The cost of each was about $15- but the portions were really generous although I wish you got a little bit more steak. The fried rice was AMAZING. I'm dying for it as I type this. Presentation was amazing and taste even better. I was watching other dishes go out and everything looked so good! I'm hoping my first experience there was the exception of the rule- so I'll definitely be back to try more dishes! read more

This was my first time having Peruvian food and the bar has been set incredibly high. The two entrees I tried were the Arroz con Pollo and the Lomo Saltado Limeño and all I can say is WOW. The Arroz con pollo was delicious. The rice was cooked perfectly and the chicken was juicy. The onion and cilantro on the side added a great crunch and extra hit of citrus. The real star here, though, was the Lomo Saltado. I was mind blown by how flavorful and tender the beef was. If you decide to come here, ordering this dish is a must. read more

For a girl eating Peruvian food for the first time, Lima Criolla delivered!! My friend, who lived in Peru for a few years, swears by this place. After we met here for lunch, I can definitely see why! Customers can choose from indoor and outdoor dining. There's ample spaces for parking as well! Clean and safe establishment. Service was great. We were seated promptly, and our server was prompt and accommodating. Yes, you might have to wait a bit for the food, but it's worth it. I had the Lomo Saltado Limeño, while my friend ordered the Ceviche Limeño. My dish was delicious! The steak was cooked just right, and the veggies had a nice crunch to it. The rice was true garlic goodness. A 5/5 dish! As for my friend's ceviche, it was a very interesting ride. I didn't know what to expect, yet I was genuinely surprised and liked it! I could probably eat that ceviche for days... Authentic tasty Peruvian food, great service, and a good time! Support Lima Criolla! read more

A cute outdoor patio hidden in a complex for some quiet and privacy. The arroz con marizcos was fresh and explosive in flavor. The grilled shrimps were perfection. I was most happy with the tallerines verdes, because who doesn't love green pasta and steak?? The pasta is bold in appearance, yet mild in flavor, so that the steak is the star of the dish. The sopa de pollo (chicken porridge) hit all the right tones. The meat was falling off of the bones, and the rice was soaked in the chicken broth and melty in your mouth. I would come back just for the soup! read more

Came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening, most of the tables were open so our service was super fast and friendly. This was my first experience going to a Peruvian restaurant, none of the items on the menu felt incredibly unfamiliar, but they were all spun in a different direction than I was used to. I felt like I could've stared at the menu for a while and not been confident in my choice, but our server was pretty helpful with some recommendations. We started by sharing the fried yuca potatoes. They tasted like a cross between steak fries and very mild plantains. I usually go for the crunchy side for both fries and plantains, but these were very tasty. When our server recommended the Peruvian paella I instantly knew that's what I was going to order and I couldn't have been happier. There was ample seafood in the dish and the tomato based sauce was an interesting twist on my previous paella experiences. With the combination of large portions for fairly low cost and tons of intriguing options I certainly see myself coming back here in the future! read more

However, upon opening the front door I was met with beautiful fine dining ambience: exotic ceramic-tiled walls, cherry-finished wicker furniture cushioned with satin pillows, and of course the enormous golden cherub statue in the center of the room which delicately sprayed chicken tortilla soup into the Venice-like channels that crosshatched the restaurant. A hostess in a gondola rowed us to our table singing a song in another language (maybe Italian?) before letting us know that the Soup Man would be with us shortly as he was very busy today. The warning was unwarranted though, as the Soup Man shortly thereafter appeared at our table addressing, us by name and apologizing that the hostess didn't realize what esteemed guests we were. Bashfully I stammered that he must have me confused with someone else as I'd never been to this establishment before, but he softly shook his head and with a smile said, "I know all who live within this city." and pulled a steaming bowl of turkish wedding soup (my favorite!) from behind my ear as if to prove his point. Overall it was a wonderful experience! I am docking it one star because they were out of oyster crackers to crumble on my soup. Will be back!

I just smiled and said no worries and left. There's not a lot going on in this place. There's a handful of tables in the front, you place your order at a counter in the back. Some of the items on their menu they don't even have so I guess they have a chalkboard of what they do have. Maybe it's just random every day I don't know. The portions aren't great, it's overpriced, and they don't even take your order correctly. The overall experience leaves much to be desired. Regrets.

They also let you spin a wheel for a prize which was fun. Parking can be difficult during rush hour so I recommend ordering for take out. My parents bought an 8 oz cup of the chicken soup with rice. It was actually really good and packed with ingredients. It's something I would gladly eat on a cold winter day. I definitely liked their soups a lot more than their smoothies.

My only complaint and why this isn't a five star review is because they pretty much had one person making coffee and taking/delivering orders. There were two other employees there while this was happening, but one guy was on his phone until he saw the entire line looking at him before he skulked off to the back and another person washing pans. She was busy but when she finished, she just stared at the line and then walked to the back as well. I get people may not be trained for every job, but this poor girl getting slammed and doing everything herself needed help. At least pretend to ask. An older gentleman walked in and went behind the counter, surveyed the line, checked a pastry fridge to make sure that it was stocked up, went to back briefly and walked out. No one ever helped the poor girl at the front counter. Food is amazing, but you may be waiting quite a while to order if they keep this up. Will we return....heck yes. I just hope they get the front area more help.

The…read moreThai basil leaves were absolutely ginormous, and they gave us plenty of them alongside very fresh limes, which I appreciated. The bowl itself came loaded with meat--they definitely weren't skimping to save money here. The meat-to-noodle ratio felt great, and every bite actually had substance instead of leaving me fishing around for toppings. As for the broth, I landed somewhere in the middle. It wasn't quite as clear or light as I personally prefer, leaning toward a fattier, milkier undertone that almost reminded me of a Vietnamese pho take on tonkotsu. The flavor itself was undeniably very good, but the richness may have been a bit too much for me personally. One way I usually judge how much I love a pho broth is whether I want to sip the bowl down to the very end, and this one wasn't quite light enough for me to want to do that. I've had richer and deeper pho flavors elsewhere, but I still appreciated the flavor profile here and could absolutely see why this place is so popular. It feels hearty, comforting, and satisfying in a way that clearly resonates with many people. Despite how packed the restaurant was, the atmosphere ended up being surprisingly pleasant. Service moved very quickly, which honestly impressed me given how busy everything felt. Even with the crowd, I didn't dislike the spacing or setup at all--the restaurant still felt comfortable, and the sound of people enjoying their food all around added to the lively, welcoming energy rather than making it feel overwhelming. Overall, Pho Phong Lưu ended up being one of those places where I completely understood the hype, even if it didn't become my personal favorite pho spot. While the broth leaned richer than my preference, I still enjoyed the experience and definitely look forward to trying other dishes next time.

We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Wes Brown It's great to receive a response from the business manager regarding our experience at their restaurant, but all four us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. We had absolutely no complaints regarding our dining experience. Caroline is affiliated with the Marriott Element and Aloft hotels and that, I believe, where the affiliation ends. I try to avoid hotel eateries but I've had great dining experiences at hotels like the JW Marriott in Austin. We, four, stopped by on a Sunday AM for breakfast and we had a great time. They do have brunch cocktails available and their bloody Mary's were deemed excellent with just the right amount of spice. My bloody Maria was on point and we all got our Sunday Funday started. Breakfast was wonderful. Our eggs arrived cooked perfectly. The pepper bacon and real potato sides were off the charts delicious. They also offer a few TexMex breakfast options and Plus one was raving about her Huevos Rancheros plate. Service was excellent even though they became busy our server was very attentive.

I absolutely love Lima Criolla's ceviche, especially the ceviche mixto - it's my go-to every time I visit! The flavors are incredibly fresh and vibrant, and they truly know how to prepare the perfect ceviche. The food arrives quickly, which is perfect for when you're craving a delicious meal without the long wait. The service at Lima Criolla is friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. What impressed me the most was their attention to detail; they showed me how to properly eat ceviche with the lime juice served in a shot glass - a delightful and interactive touch that enhanced the overall experience.

The restaurant is new on this location but all ready well established. Even if Peruvian food is on the heavy side, this is the best one I have ever had. Portions are of good size and I didn't have need to use spices to make them better. My favorite, ceviche, tastes exactly like in Peru. Something extra nice about this place is that you can see the whole kitchen through a big open window, smell and hear how your order is being prepared. You may also get to meet the owner - a really nice Peruvian lady, talkative and helpful with orders.

The first thing that struck me was how intimate the restaurant feels. It's not a massive dining room where you're just another customer passing through. The smaller space creates a personal connection that allows you to appreciate Chef Janelle--not just as the person preparing your meal, but as someone who poured her heart into turning a dream into reality. That alone makes the experience feel special. The atmosphere is transportive. The music flowing through the restaurant, the Caribbean radio stations playing in the background, and the unmistakable sounds of Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, and neighboring islands make you feel as though you've stepped through a portal. For a moment, you're no longer in Texas--you're immersed in the rhythm, warmth, and hospitality of the Caribbean. It's comforting, peaceful, and beautifully authentic. The menu is thoughtfully designed and incredibly approachable. Whether you're building a bowl or choosing a plate, the process is simple and easy to follow. Even if you've never experienced Caribbean cuisine before, there's no intimidation. Chef Janelle is happy to explain unfamiliar dishes, ingredients, and flavors, making first-time visitors feel just as welcome as those who grew up enjoying Caribbean food. That level of hospitality is becoming increasingly rare, and it deserves recognition. One piece of advice: arrive early. The food has earned a loyal following, and popular items sell out for a reason. Now, onto the meal. I kept my first visit relatively simple: a bowl with curry goat, sautéed spinach, macaroni pie, and rice and peas. It sounded like comfort food on paper, but what arrived was a beautifully balanced collection of flavors that complemented one another in ways I hadn't anticipated. The macaroni pie deserves its own moment. If you're expecting American-style macaroni and cheese, leave those expectations at the door. This is something entirely different. It has the structure and integrity of a baked pie while delivering all the creamy richness you hope for in macaroni and cheese. The beautifully browned layer of cheese across the top provided the perfect contrast to the velvety interior. Every bite was indulgent without feeling heavy. The sautéed spinach brought freshness and depth to the bowl, especially as it mingled with the curry goat. Speaking of the goat--it was wonderfully seasoned, tender, and deeply comforting. The curry carried warmth and complexity rather than overwhelming heat, allowing every ingredient to shine. I couldn't resist adding an extra serving of the house pepper sauce. That's simply my preference because I love spice. The meal absolutely stands on its own without it, but for me, the added heat elevated every bite, adding another layer of excitement without masking the incredible flavors already present. The rice and peas were far more than a supporting side. They were fragrant, flavorful, and satisfying enough to enjoy on their own. After finishing the macaroni pie, I mixed the rice into the remaining curry and spinach, letting it absorb every last drop of those incredible juices. It was one of those moments where every ingredient came together so naturally that you couldn't help but slow down and savor it. What impressed me most was how every item could stand confidently on its own while also contributing to something even greater when enjoyed together. That's a hallmark of thoughtful cooking. Nothing competed for attention. Everything complemented everything else. This was my first visit, but it certainly won't be my last. In fact, I'm already planning my return because there were several dishes I wanted to try that had already sold out. If anything, that's another testament to the quality of the food and the loyalty this restaurant has earned. Thank you, Chef Janelle, for sharing your passion, your culture, and your hospitality. Twin Isles is more than a restaurant--it's an experience that celebrates Caribbean heritage with authenticity, warmth, and extraordinary flavor. You've earned a lifelong customer.

Service was pleasant and engaging. Ordered a couple of doubles and oxtail sandwich with a drink…read more Doubles were a bit watery and the sandwich was a bit mid (no distinctive favor or special bun). I won't be harsh on the doubles because we got there when they just opened so it seems it may have needed more time to thicken/cook. Place is small and clean.

They do an incredible job of incorporating bold Asian flavors into each dish, giving every pasta a distinct umami-rich twist. It's such a creative take on fettuccine, and each plate feels both familiar and completely unique.

The food was consistently incredible -- honestly restaurant quality, if not better than many restaurants we've been to. You could feel the care and intention in it. It became part of our rhythm living in North Loop, and we loved being able to walk over and support Lily and August's food truck. We're really going to miss it. Thank you both for creating something so special. If you ever reopen in another location, we will absolutely make the drive.
