I came to lima tavern a few months ago with my friend who is Peruvian and he guided me and my husband through a delicious meal! We started with some mussles that had some sort of spicy sauce on it...I am not a fan of mussels but wow, it was delicious! I had the chicken lomo Saltado which was delicious! To round things out we had a sampling of dessert and I cant remember the name of it all.. we had mini donuts and a shortbread like cookie and both were sooo yummy. My Peruvian friend praised how authentic this restaurant is. I have never been to Peru, however everything I ate here was tasty and fresh. The service was good as well and our waiter was friendly. I highly recommend everyone try this restaurant! read more

10 stars! Absolutely delicious food. We were so hungry we forgot to take pictures, but we tried the ceviche, the pasta lomo saltado, and the regular lomo saltado -- everything was amazing. One thing I really loved was the portion sizes. You definitely get a lot for your money, and the flavors were incredible. The music and atmosphere were also so good and made the whole experience even better. I also couldn't be more impressed with Cesar, our waiter. He did an amazing job and truly made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Thank you for such a great experience -- we will definitely be back! read more

The food was amazing from start to finish. That ceviche Mixto was so good. That sweet potato added another dimension to it. The Arroz con Mariscos was a flavor bomb,. The rice was creamy, seafood tender and presentation was on point. The dessert was great, not too sweet and was light. I will definitely cone back when in the area again Service was 10 out of 10. The staff was attentive and the owner helped me decide on the food. He did not steer me wrong. The place was nice and clean as well and was very welcoming.

This is our first time at Lima Tavern, and it won't be the last. We found it through the AAdvantage Dining Program, and we can't be any happier. If you like authentic Peruvian cuisine, don't miss it. The food was excellent! We started with the Papas a la Huancaina, a classic, five stars. I ordered the Tallarines Verdes con Asado (Peruvian Pesto Noodles with Steak), and it was delicious. César, our server, told us that it takes time because everything is prepared fresh, so the wait was super worth it. My wife ordered a Quinoa Salad with Chicken; she really liked it. We didn't know quinoa originated in Peru, but now we do. Cesar was always attentive and often came to our table to ensure we had everything. Overall, we had a great time, and we hope to return soon to try the ceviche and many other dishes. read more

Taverna Lima delivers a feast for the senses--where Peruvian tradition meets artistic presentation and unforgettable flavor. From the moment the plate arrives, it's clear that Taverna Lima isn't just serving food, it's telling a story. The dish in the photo, a stunning rendition of Lomo Saltado, is a masterclass in culinary elegance. The beef is tender and richly coated in a savory, soy-infused sauce that clings lovingly to sautéed red onions and sweet peppers, creating a harmony of textures and flavors. Thick-cut potato wedges add a golden crispness, while the molded white rice stands tall like a proud monument to tradition,crowned with a delicate purple orchid that whispers of Lima's floral soul. What sets this experience apart is the attention to detail. The plating is not just beautiful, it's poetic. Every element feels intentional, from the vibrant color palette to the balance of textures. It's a dish that honors Peru's multicultural culinary heritage, blending Chinese stir-fry technique with Andean ingredients in a way that feels both authentic and elevated. The ambiance at Taverna Lima matches the plate's sophistication. Nestled in Plano, this gem offers a warm, vibrant atmosphere with live music and heartfelt hospitality. The staff treats you like family, and the menu is a celebration of Peru's rich flavors--from ceviche to maracuyá drink, each item crafted with imported ingredients that preserve the soul of the cuisine. read more

I was working late so there weren't many options by the time I cleaned up. This place was tucked around the back side of the building. The dining room was dimly lit but still had a casual atmosphere. There was 1 party of 8 or so and another couple but I think that's because it was late on a week night. I quickly ordered the Lomo saltado so it wasn't too close to closing. The server brought out bread with a herb sauce that was similar to pesto and that has a little spice. The Lomo had good flavor. The beef and the veggies were cooked well. read more

My favorite restaurant I've been to in a long time! From the second you walk in, the mood is set. The menu is not overly complex, but still has many great options to choose from. I tried the Lomo Saltado and it was delicious. For dessert, I had the Picarones with a coffee and it was great. I want to thank César and the owner Eliseo for an amazing experience and giving background on the food and fun stories as well. Will be coming back here again soon and Thank You! read more

This is a nice little Peruvian restaurant tucked away in the back of a strip. The menu had a good selection of dishes including ceviche, cuts of steak and seafood. The Lomo Saltado I ordered was good. Meat was tender. Cooked in an oriental style sauce almost like a kung pao. There was a sax player who started up midway through the meal and was very good. Service was ok. read more

Awesome food and ambiance. Caesar provided great service. Hidden gem!! It is well worth the effort to find. Peruvian seafood stew was really tasteful and fish cooked perfectly (not overcooked). read more

Really wanted to love this place... service was mediocre and there were only 6 total customers in the restaurant including us... food wasn't terrible but probably the worst Peruvian food I've ever had unfortunately. Ordered the lomo saltado... a lot more soy sauce than I'm used to... I requested for the beef to be medium rare but it was more like medium well... the meat was not chewy even though it was overcooked so that was a plus... water tasted a little funky too :( The decor is nice though. Cute little restaurant... I think the dishes are priced a bit on the high end as well. read more

We stopped in this amazing place after church to try something new. The owner and host were so friendly. When they found out we had never had Peruvian food, they brought us samples of their best sellers plus an amazing nonalcoholic berry juice that was delicious. The ceviche sampler was out of this world! Everything was made fresh to order and was flavorful. The other patrons were ordering ceviche and everyone loved it. We will be back! I highly recommend this gem. read more

You MUST check this place out. The food is absolutely wonderful. Found it by accident and it was my lucky day. The pepper sauce is impossible to describe- I want to out it on everything I eat from now on. The owner, Elesio, visited with us and he is charming- he wife is the chef , wish we could have met her too and thanked her for the best meal we've had in some time. read more

Muy mal servicio, nos hicieron sentir muy mal, nos hicieron esperar más de 30 minutos para atendernos, yo se que estaban ocupados pero no es nuestra culpa y nosotros no teníamos que pagar por que ellos no estaban preparados, la comida es mediocre los tragos de muy baja calidad, en realidad no lo recomiendo read more

My expectations were high after reading the reviews & the minute i walked in the restaurant looks and is clean, pleasant, the waitress was really friendly and approachable , service was really good. Now let's talk about the food. Ceviche mixto was good, calamari a little over cooked , and the fish was cut the wrong way so it was very tough, but the leche tigre was very tasty, good flavor. The pollo saltado was so salty that it was hard to eat and same the lomo saltado. Like i said service was extraordinary but food was not good and the price is pretty high! read more

Went here for Valentine's Day when they had a special menu with only 3 course meals. Asked the waitress if we could only order parts of it without being charged for the full price and she said yes, only to bring us a bill that had us pay for 6 courses. We only ordered 3. The manager refused to compensate us, or just charge us for the price's of the normal menu. Expected to pay 60 bucks and ended up paying closer to 140. Very disappointing, will not be returning. read more

Lima Taverna became my favorite restaurant in Texas for its extremely delicious and healthy food dishes and for the remarkable service of being treated as a royal. The chef and the staff of the restaurant have brought Peru to Dallas at its best with a menu which is remarkable and hard to choose from. Here even donuts are not only delicious but healthy as they are made from sweet potatoes. If in Dallas don't miss visiting Lima Taverna which will leave you with a memorable experience. read more

I went to Lima, Peru 12 years ago and had ceviche every single meal. It was the best I'd ever had. For 12 years now I've been looking for a place in America that had ceviche just like I had in Lima. This is the place. Incredible Peruvian food. Highly recommend. read more

Super service and the best ceviche we had outside of Peru! We will definitely return.

We had a fantastic dinner! We each had a bowl of ceviche which is usually just an appetizer but I was so full after my bowl. Our waiter Cesar was so happy to help us pick and recommended some delicious cocktails. The art on the walls and music contributes to a welcoming and artistic ambiance that will make your meal enjoyable! read more

Lima Taverna - Ceviche clásico with maracuya sour and a pisco sour. - Peruvian Near Me - Plano, Texas

Unfortunately got bad service on Dec 31. It was not because they were busy only on table of 8 and they already had their food. I love this place but it is frequently service that brings disappointment. The drinks were excellent and so was the food. Unfortunately we ordered appetizers and never got them. The waiter unfortunately didn't even apologize and said we did not order even though he asked clarify questions about our ceviche and number ordered. Can blame on language as we ordered in Spanish. I do recommend the food. Just know service can at times not be what you want as this was my experience the past 3 times. read more

Lima Taverna - Pica irasca - Peruvian Near Me - Plano, Texas

It's a great authentic place with lovely music most weekends. Not very crowded, food was ok and you could even dance later in the night!

Lovely place, in an awkward location in the back area of a shopping plaza. We came here based on the stellar reviews. The food was great; we really liked the tender pieces of meat in our dishes. The sauces for the dishes and yucca fries were also delicious. Dishes are a tad bit overpriced, I felt like I was being upcharged by about $5-$7. There was live music the night we went, which was nice but also loud. Service was impeccable with multiple different wait staff checking up on us and refilling our waters. I would come back here if the pricing became a bit more reasonable or if they had deals. read more

Lima Taverna - Lomo Saltado Yucca Fries - Peruvian Near Me - Plano, Texas

Stopped in for my daughters Spanish class Xmas party. She was to bring in beverages so we ordered INKA COLA, MARACUYA JUICE and CHICHA MORADA. After her trip to Peru last year she was happy they had her favorites on the menu. There were left overs so I was also able to sample them. Not my cup of tea but were a hit in the class. A bit on the pricey side for the juices but it was a one shot stop. read more
