If you love authentic Peruvian food or crave flavorful Mexican cuisine, you have to check out this place. The ceviche is unbelievably fresh--bright, zesty, and perfectly seasoned. The carne asada tacos are my personal favorite--tender, juicy, and grilled to perfection. And the margaritas?!? Deliciously balanced, refreshing, and the perfect pairing to any meal. What makes this restaurant so special is that they don't just stick to one style--they seamlessly blend Peruvian and Mexican flavors, offering the best of both worlds. Whether you're in the mood for fresh seafood, tacos, burritos or a traditional Peruvian specialty, everything tastes homemade and full of love. The staff are always incredibly friendly and welcoming, and it's on the smaller-side, so when I'm ready for a low key meal with my family, this is the place to go! I honestly can't believe this spot is still such a hidden gem in Kuna--the quality, consistency, and hospitality are second to none. If you're searching for the best Peruvian and Mexican restaurant in Kuna, Idaho, this is it. Let's help get the secret out--this place deserves all the love! read more

5 star food and service! Never a disappointment! We absolutely LOVE Lima Limón! Great service, thee best carne asada EVER and Daisy and Augustine are the kindest! We love it here read more

I went to the dentist in kuna and after my sister and I wanted to try this place because of the good reviews but I was not impressed actually I was super bummed at the price we paid for this tiny salad. The chicken had good flavor but they were very skimpy on the ingredients. The salsa verde was not good. The chips and salsa were ok. 10$ for guacamole! The lady was very friendly but overall was not satisfied. Thankfully we went next door and got a homemade cookie! And it was delicious! read more

Lima Limon Restaurant - Chicken taco salad - Peruvian Near Me - Kuna, Idaho

We had hopes (not necessarily high, but hope) for this place. Heard good things so we decided to go during the week. The owner is a nice man and very personable. Food...not so good unfortunately. Wife got tacos and I had the cheese enchiladas. Tacos were bland. Cheese enchiladas tasted rubbery and the beans were watery. Food served on plastic plates with plastic forks. Mine broke twice on the enchiladas. Magaritas were subpar and were supposed to be happy hour prices. When we paid they were not even though there was still 30 minutes left for their happy hour. There was nobody else eating inside so I didn't make a big deal about it. Just wanted to support a local business. For the price we paid it is hard to go back for the quality of the food. Sad, because we really wanted to like it. read more

The food was delicious!! A couple of items were a bit pricey but overall felt worth it. Our favorite dish was the ceviche! Definitely going back! read more

Amazing authentic food. The service is genuine and gives you the hometown feel. The portion was enough for my husband who most always eats half of mine. We left looking forward to out next dinner out. This will be our 1st choice read more

Food is very flavorful and very well balanced. The service was very friendly and recommendations were spot on. The Birria tacos were crispy with just the right amount of beef filling. The Tallarine Saltado was a very large portion and my colleague said it was very flavorful. Highly recommend! read more

YES, GO HERE. This is your sign. I am OBSESSED with Lima Limon Peruvian Restaurant, and only after one trip. Let me tell you, it is without a doubt worth the drive into the depths of Kuna. You won't find authentic Peruvian food elsewhere in the Treasure Valley that tastes this fantastic. Drinks! Their menu offers several traditional Peruvian and Mexican cocktails, as well as imported and domestic beer and your familiar non-alcoholic drinks. My husband stuck with the always great Stella Artois (or so he says) and I ordered Peru's national cocktail Pisco Sour (Peruvian brandy blended with lime, egg white and jarabe de goma, garnished with bitters, $9.00). Unlike anything I had ever had before. It wasn't made very strong, but it wasn't overly sweet so you could still taste the brandy. Probably the most exotic drink I've had in a while. Yes, it does taste exotic. *FYI there are no prices on their drink menu as it is based of the market and availability of ingredients. The food was a knock out. Holy wow, it's been a while since I had food this unique, this delicious. I bellied up to the Bistec Alo Pobre (juicy grilled steak served with rice, fried plantains and fried egg, with traditional salad, $19.50). The steak was cooked absolutely perfect! It's not a huge piece, thinner and oh so tender. I LOVED the fried plantains. They were delectable, almost like a side dessert but paired so well with a bite of meal and egg. Think fireworks in your mouth. I mean you couldn't get a bad bite. Everyone went so well together. I would order this again and again. My husband ordered the most unique looking dish, Aji de Gallin a (delicious shredded chicken breast covered in yellow Peruvian pepper cream, piso bread, topped with parmesan cheese served with white rice). This dish is phenomenal! I thought I liked my dish - I liked his even more. The flavor is exquisite. Moist, tender chicken smothered in rich, creamy sauce. Reminded me of Singaporean-style curry, only a less spicy. If you're really in the food for something different, this is it. The vibe is wonderful. Lima Limon is the perfect spot if you're looking to eat someplace lowkey, laidback and friendly. There aren't many seats, and it's encouraged you make reservations, especially for weekend dinners. I enjoyed the humble, atmosphere. I did find some of the décor rather curious, but I don't know much about Peruvian artwork and culture, so it's not my place to judge. I enjoyed the boastful colors, though. read more

Small family restaurant with so much soul and really great food ! They are struggling with their help going on to college but trying to adapt until more help can be hired ( plastic- 2stars due to no dishwasher help) Your chef and owner will probably visit and ask about your experience because they care so much. This spirit and the awesome food keeps people coming back! Today I tried their fresh salsa and just had to buy a large container of to go. If you have a chance definitely stop by! read more

Simple setting and decor but the food is phenomenal! Easily some of the nicest South/central American cuisine I've ever had. Service was really good and a good little selection of drinks. Highly recommend read more

We didn't know we needed reservations when we showed up there on a Friday night. Fortunately we came at a time when they weren't totally busy so they seated us. We thought the chips and salsa were some of the best we have had. The salsa was fresh and really good, as were the chips. We stayed pretty basic and got enchiladas. They were good but after watching what other people were getting, I think we will branch out more next time. All in all, they make good food and would recommend this place! read more

If you're looking for authentic Peruvian food, this place is not it. Overpriced and flavors and cooking style are off. I've been to quite a few Peruvian restaurants over the years and cities and by far this place is the worst. Peruvian food is based on Japanese cuisine, this place is more Mexican palate than Peruvian, and not very good Mexican. It's best if you purchase a Peruvian cook book and cook at home. It's easy with some practice for those who enjoy their kitchen lab. read more

Was really excited to check this place out. Thought it was going to be the new best thing in Kuna. Unfortunately it was a grave disappointment. It's like you have your hopes and expectations hi for food trucks especially Mexican food trucks and then you get let down by the lack of quality service taste and cost. The rice was worse than a kindergartens rice. No flavor no quality nothing.The beef was not flavored was not seasoned I don't know if they even know what Carne Asada means. The quality was so below grade I do not understand how they're even operating to this date. We took one bite of everything and had to throw everything else away. Such a disappointment read more

Lima Limon Restaurant - Not worth the 72 dollars food was bland presentation was horrible felt like I was eating at chipotle save your money - Peruvian Near Me - Kuna, Idaho

The food was good, not great, but considering the price you pay it's not worth it. You order/pay at the counter, your entrees are served on paper plates, the entrees (both identical) took awhile and then they came about 15 mins apart, which puts a damper on the whole meal. Lastly, no one ever came to check on our table. Based on the lack of service after giving a $12 tip on a $55 for counter service I wouldn't return. If you go there leave the tip off when you order/pay and tell them you'll leave cash at the table. Then decide what percentage it's worth based your experience. read more

If your expecting Peruvian food don't go to Lima Limón. $22.00 "dishes" for paper plates and plasticware. Staff was nice. Food was not. $14 for dry fried yucca. I think this place might have been good before they made changes but it's no longer anything that the internet makes it out to be. Would not recommend. read more

I'm not sure which is more delicious. The Peruvian food from Chef Deysi Contreras, who is from Peru, or the warm hospitality extended by her husband Agustin who was server during our lunch visit. My husband and I are fans of Peruvian food, a cuisine difficult to find in the western U.S. When we lived in Oregon we used to enjoy remarkable Peruvian meals at Andina in Portland and good Peruvian food at a Mexican / Peruvian restaurant in Bend. The food at Lima Limon outshines the latter for the dishes we tried. If I could wave a magic wand, I'd expand the number of Peruvian dishes on their menu which also highlights standard American food dishes and some which are Mexican. I'm hoping as Peruvian food becomes better known in the area, they'll be able to expand those options on their menu. Deysi can cook any Peruvian dish you want, says Agustin, if you call ahead. But most folks wouldn't know what to request to call in advance. And I can almost guarantee that once you try Peruvian food you'll want to try more! Noting some commented on it being slow for food to come out of the kitchen, from our experience that is so. Don't plan on a quick in and out meal. I imagine at times there are just one or two cooks in the kitchen and from scratch food is not fast food. See John S's FTR review for all the 'need to know' great details in it. I can't do better than that through anything I'd write here. So I'll just add a couple of notes: 1) Lima Limon will be moving, sometime in the next few weeks if all goes according to schedule, to another location in Kuna. On Main Street down the block from Enrique's Mexican restaurant. (Side note, Agustin's brother owns Enrique's.) 2) Watch the video on the Yelp photo page. You'll get an idea of how charming is your host and also a sense of the food. 3) They have pisco for Pisco Sours! They also have cachaca, a Brazilian alcohol that is close to rocket fuel for flavor and may be an acquired taste but trust me in a Caipirinha it is a fondness easily acquired. Hmmm...does Uber run to Kuna? :-) read more

What a great addition to the ethnic food scene in the Boise Valley. Lima Limon is the only Peruvian restaurant between Portland and Salt Lake City and local diners are the winners. Located just off the north bank of Indian Creek, the view out the back window is scenic and soothing. The restaurant, which opened in August, is at the location of the former Creekside Lounge. Chef Deysi Contreras and her husband, Agustin, worked 20 years at Kuna's renowned Mexican restaurant El Gallo Giro, owned by Agustin's brother, before opening their own restaurant. Deysi is a native of Lima, Peru's capital city. I ordered Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian stir fry dish in the fusion tradition brought by immigrants from Guangzhou, China, in the late 1800s. The dish combines marinated steak strips, onions, tomatoes and French fries and served with rice. The beef was very flavorful from the marinade and melded well with the other ingredients. I also ordered Papa a la Huancaina (Huancayo-style potatoes), which features boiled yellow potatoes topped with a creamy Huancaina sauce. The sauce is made from a fresh white cheese, an aji amarillo (yellow Peruvian pepper), evaporated milk and crushed crackers smoothed in a blender. This is different than anything I've ever tasted. The potatoes and sauce were served at room temperature and were quite tasty. The peppers added a zip but didn't overpower. Wonderful. Server Ricky was knowledgable about the menu items and spent quite a bit of time with me talking about the dishes. Deysi and Agustin also came out from the kitchen and talked with me and thanked me for coming in. The restaurant has plenty of room with wooden tables spaced comfortably apart. There are also two larger tables in a board room area with a sliding door that can be closed for privacy. After people discover this wonderful restaurant, they may give El Gallo Giro some real competition. It's great that Kuna now has two really good restaurants. read more

We went a couple of months ago, excited to try something new at in Kuna. The owner was friendly and engaging plus we even had some fun with several of the other guests. Sadly, for us, while the food was acceptable, considering what we paid, the overall meal was not memorable or enjoyable enough for us to come back. We love to help local businesses and we want them to succeed so, hopefully, this was just a "bad" night. We believe he was the only working that night, so that might be a factor. We may try again later this year, after we check several the up-to-date reviews. read more

My first experiences with Peruvian food were in Southern California. I never dreamed that this cuisine would come to Idaho, but it is deliciously here. I have been wanting to visit Lima Limon in Kuna, Idaho since I first heard about it. I attended Kuna's Historical Museum today and this restaurant was just 2 doors west of it. How could I pass it up? The interior is clean, pleasing to the eye, and guest seating leaves plenty of room for personal space. I met Chef Deysi Contreras first. She is Peruvian and a lovely lady. I immediately recognized Augustin, her husband. It turns out that he is the twin of Enrique, the owner of Enrique's Mexican Restaurant -- located across the street and west of Lima Limon. It was just me today and since I became a low-carber last September, I knew I would be making small adjustments to my entrée. I selected Pollo Con Crema, a dish featuring chicken and sautéed mushrooms in a sour cream sauce. Although I adore rice and flour tortillas, Deysi happily substituted a colorful blend of steamed vegetables, cooked to perfection. The presentation was beautiful. The meal was so scrumptious that I had to resist licking my plate. I walked away smiling! NOTE: Google Maps tried to lead me to their old location on 4th St. Avoid confusion and just go to 379 W Main St, Kuna, ID 83634. read more

I was staying in the area for three nights so decided to head out of town for a change for something different. This is about a 20 -25 min drive from the Boise airport area. It was a Sat night and it was not busy. The owner is from Peru and her husband from Mexico so the menu has both items from both. There are not that many Peruvians in the area so variety on the menu would help. Of course yelpers are glad to eat most any nationality food, but the average person often is not and esp in more rural areas they might not be so adventurous. They suggest the Lomo Saltado and most diners there order this. My brother ordered it and liked it VERY MUCH. They serve it with fries and a spicey hot sauce made with a variety of peppers. I ordered the Parihuela, a seafood soup as the picture looked real good. It was ok, but the crab I could tell had been frozen awhile and when I saw the Lomo saltado and tasted that spicey hot sauce I knew I should have ordered that too. Help was friendly and we enjoyed our visit. If you dont mind a bit of a drive out of town, go check it out. read more

THE BEST! Everything I have tried at Lima Limon has been incredible. They have the best, most authentic food in Kuna. Absolutely love them!

Delicious you must try them! After 3 visits and 10 different items i can't wait for visit #4 I'm confident that whether I try something new or have something I have already had I will enjoy it. The service is just as good as the food and the drinks including the Pisco Sour can stand on their own. This is our new go to for date night or family night read more

I had never had Peruvian food before, and now I know it's amazing. My wife and I shared the Tallarine Saltado and Aji de Gallina. The Tallarine Saltado had very good flavoring with mild spice. The Aji de Gallina had a nice spicy kick which complimented the flavorful dish. The potatoes had a very good texture. The establishment had a nice feel and was very clean. The service was excellent. The ice tea I had was very good and not as bitter and most restaurants. I highly recommend this place; you'll like it! read more

Being from South America myself, I jump for joy when find an authentic South American cuisine joint near Boise. I read the Lima Limon review in Boise Weekly and decided to give it a try. Lima Limon does not disappoint. The flavors of the food and the sauces were delicious and fresh. We had the Papa a la Huancaina with the seafood chimichanga and a pollada. It was delicious. We will definitely be back, the sauces alone are worth the drive from Boise, and the perfectly cooked potatoes and chicken are mouth watering. Great food at a good price! read more
