What a fantastic experience! The decor, food, and staff were all so impressive. My husband and I had never tried Peruvian food and thought we would make this our food-venture for the week. We ordered a light lunch of Leche de Tigre and anticuchos de pollo and they were both fabulous! The antichucos de pollo were chicken skewers that were very tender and had great spice/seasoning. The Leche de Tigre was fabulous. Honestly in the running for the best ceviche I've had (and I try it A LOT). The citrus tang from the lime mixed with the salt, fish, peppers, Peruvian corn and onions was so good I had to fight off the urge to turn that glass up and drink the leftover juice! Ana, our server, gave us a sample of their chicha morada drink. It's a traditional Peruvian drink made from boiling purple corn along with pineapple, cinnamon, clove, and sugar. So, so good! The staff was fantastic. They took time to educate us on their culture and comida! We met EVERYONE! Another great reason to visit, Saturday night's live music! Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. read more

Lima Taverna - Peruvian Near Me - Plano, Texas

Let me start by saying the food was ok, the desserts weren't. The ceviche was very good. The service was just ok at best. The reason for the low rating is poor customer service. I was billed for plates I didn't order, told the waiter, he argued with me. I paid the bill, including the automatic 20% due to party size. I spoke with the owner to remedy, Eliseo, no resolution. Bottom line, I was over charged for just ok overpriced food made them aware (twice) and no equitable resolution reached. Will never go there again. read more

Insanely good! Ambiance, service and food all on point! Wife had the Arroz con Pollo, I had the salmon. Yes it's pricey but well worth every bite! read more

Came here after church, craving Peruvian food. It had a 4 star rating, so I was expecting great food and service. My sons and I received neither. Waited 45 minutes to get 2 of the 3 orders, I got up and refilled my own water. The place did not have a lot of customers either. Our plates were 22 dollars each. Unreal, paid 70 dollars for three plates and water. Service was terrible and the food was average. It's too bad , place has potential . Never coming here again. read more

Completely overpriced now... The food is okay but neither the food nor the place itself is worth the cost The Pisco Sour was terrible. Sad to say but we won't be coming back... We used to eat here when prices were somehow reasonable as we like Peruvian food. We left disappointed this time... read more

We moved to Dallas from New York almost two months ago and we've almost given up completely on finding some of our favorite cuisines in the DFW area. Well, I'm glad to say that, except for the grilled chicken, Lima Taverna is as good as our local spot in Jackson Heights, NYC. Pisco sours are legit, papas ala huancaina and cacha, with a Cuzquena beer are on the money. Mixed seafood ceviche was excellent, just like abuelita used to make. And, to truly judge a place, went with the lomo saltado and an arroz chaufa. All dishes were fantastic and service was excellent. Lastly, top it off with live music from a wonderful performer singing salsa, merengue and bachata closed out a fantastic night. read more

My wife's grandmother is Peruvian, so we like to indulge in her family's culture. The staff is super friendly and will explain any dish you may have questions about. The owner came over to our table when my wife, her. Family and I went in the day before our wedding for a big lunch. The owner was awesome and even brought us some traditional Peruvian celebration shots. I always get the empanadas to start; they are so amazing. My wife likes the Leche de Tigre. I ALWAYS get a Golden Cola (Inka cola); it's like a citrus Big Red...soooo good. I usually order at least 2 Inkas. The wife gets the Chicha Morada, which is like sangria with a clove flavor and is also amazing. I typically order the Lomo Saltado. The beef is perfectly wok seared and in a sweet soy sauce with big slices of onions over a bed of fried potatoes; which are basically French fries. It's such a good dish, my mouth is watering as I write this. read more

How dare you call on this stuff Peruvian food!! You're giving the great culinary reputation of Peruvian food a bad name. Only people who have never been to Perú can be fooled by it. Terrible food, served on pretty plates! Extremely overpriced for the quality. Horrible service - hey only had 2 waitresses for the entire restaurant on a busy night. I couldn't even get my water refilled ... and then, without even telling your customers, you dare to add 20% for the tip for this bad service. Anybody who gives this restaurant a good review has never been to Peru! So sad!! read more

Heard great stories from this place so decided to try some of my favorites from back home. The ceviche was decent, needed a bit more if rocoto to bring up the flavor. Maybe a suggestion will be to ask the customers if you wanted a bit spicier? The anticuchos were good but it lacks on quantity. The lomo saltado was my biggest dissapointment. Had lots of nerve on the meat on a a dish where the meat is the star. The meat seemed boiled instead of flamed at a high heat. Service wad good, server kept checking on us and refilling our drinks. Need to check the quality of your meats and maybe increasing portioning. read more

LOVED this place! I came here for lunch on a Saturday and was seated immediately. It was a little hard for me to find the restaurant since it's located in the back of the complex facing Collin Creek Mall. My friend was running late so I chatted with my waitress. I was looking at the juices so she brought samples of the Maracuya (passion fruit) juice and the Chicha Morada. I decided to go with the Maracuya juice. I've never had passion fruit juice and it was amazing!! I definitely recommend trying it. The waitress also brought out some bread and butter. When my friend arrived, we ordered our entrees. I got the Aji de Gallina and my friend got the Tallarines Verdes con Asado. The food came out really quickly and we dived in. My dish was a traditional Peruvian chicken dish. It was shredded chicken in a light sauce with rice and potatoes. It was delicious! After paying we continued sitting and chatting for a while. Then to our surprise the waitress comes out with a complimentary Tres Leches cake for us! The cake was to die for. It's one of the best tres leches I've had. By this time the owner was also at the restaurant and came by our table to talk with us. This was one of the best dining experiences I've had. Not only was the food amazing, but the service went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend trying this restaurant and bringing all your friends! read more

Great food and service, cute restaurant the ambiance was also nice. Overall very good experience.

Being from Peru I'm very picky when it comes to Peruvian food. I can honestly say Lima Taverna has some of the best Peruvian food I've ever had! All the flavors are spot on. Little details such as cancha in the ceviche are classic and most places miss it. All the dishes as you can from my pictures look very tasty and the presentation makes you excited for what you are about to eat! The decor has an upscale vibe to it. The service is always good, nothing is ever missing from our table. The owner also comes by to make sure everything is perfect every visit. My wife and I love going here so we are here often trying to support a local business, we wish the best for our friends at Lima Taverna. read more

Food tasted good no doubt. 2 stars out for service because was awful, food was brought in installments, they didn't check on our drinks, we needed some salt and refills I couldn't get the server soon enough, my dish was last and I saw a server walking around with it to another table then back to kitchen then back out and she went to our server and then she brought it to me (What was that all about) 1 start out for Value, prices on Yelp.com are outdated, portions are a little bit too small but ok however ceviche was way too small. It isn't about money, it's about value we count all the mistakes they incurred to make our dinner experience great. We love dinning out (Nobu, Seasons 52, Del Frescos, Perry's, etc etc) Food, Service and Value. I hope it gets better because there is potential. read more

The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because service was slow, the restaurant was full and there were only two waitresses which clearly were not enough. Many customers were complaining about the time. Besides that, Lima Taverna serves authentic Peruvian food and its amazingly good. I was really craving peruvian food and I was satisfied 100%. read more

We had dinner here on Saturday and absolutely loved it. It was great from a social distancing perspective and the food was awesome. We were trying Peruvian food for the first time and fell in love. We started with the pisco sour and the Marcuya cocktails, both were fantastic. The Ceviche Mixto was amazing. Dinner was yummy and the service was wonderful. We will definitely return. read more

Let's begin by saying that due to the few Peruvian restaurants around here, one has to be measured against each other. In this case, Tineo is the top contender, and against which I measure the food quality. Ambience: very nice, upscale-ish type of environment. If you're wanting to take someone on Peruvian food date, this would be the place. Surprisingly nice compared to the outside strip mall exterior. Food: absolutely delicious! The ceviche was extraordinary. One of the best I've ever had. Their lomito arepa was great too. If what you're into is arroz chaufa, quality of ajis, or empanadas, Tineo's are better. However, the quality of the food was great, and the plating is intentionally beautiful. The desserts are amazing. Their tres leches cake was superb Service: this is the only reason why my review is not a 5 Star. When we came in, there was only one waitress for the entire place. She was also seating people, so it took an ungodly amount of time to get drinks. However, within the course of our meal, more wait staff showed up, and the quickness of the service improved. The wait staff was very nice and helpful. read more

This is the first time I've had Peruvian food so I'm no expert to this restaurant's authenticity but everything my family ordered was amazing! We started off with the Ceviche Mixto. The seafood was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. For my entree I ordered the Pescado a lo Macho, which included Salmon and other seafood in a flavorful sauce. Serving size was very generous and I was more than satisfied by this point. I have to also point out the fantastic service by the owner himself. He offered his favorite recommendations and was always checking up on our table. Following our meal he brought us complimentary dessert, which was Tres Leches Cake in shot glasses. It was the perfect end to our meal. Please do yourself a favor and make a stop here for a taste of Peru! read more

The ceviche Classico was delicious and fresh! The service was good and very personable. The ambiance is a very positive experienceZ

It takes a special kind of place to not skimp on service, attentiveness, and quality of food when you come 40 minutes to closing as the only customers for the night (we were on work travel so we were pretty aware but determined to hopefully scoot in and scoot out). The food was phenomenal and the care, sublime. As bad as we felt for coming in so late they were so kind and professional that I couldn't help but fall in love with the place. Would happily eat there again! read more

We ordered the Lomo Saltado, Arroz con Pollo, Ceviche Mixto, and empanadas for pick-up. Each dish was delicious. Very flavorful and fresh tasting. They forgot one of our empanadas and when I called back to let them know, the manager offered to drive by my house and deliver the empanadas himself. Great food, phenomenal service. Highly recommended! read more

I came here for a solo dinner upon a recommendation of a friend. It definitely looks like a great place for date night (I plan to take my husband here next time). I ended up ordering a few small items: leche de tigre ceviche, beef empanada, and the leche flan. The beef empanada was really good. I loved the leche de tigre ceviche: creamy, spicy, and fresh. The highlight was the leche flan, which was made with lucuma. This was the best leche flan I've had so far. It literally melted in my mouth. I ended up ordering a second one to take home. The staff were really accommodating and friendly. The restaurant is beautiful as well! Fun and lively music playing in the background added to the beautiful atmosphere. While I essentially had only small bites of their menu, I enjoyed my experience. I am sure other items will be just as enjoyable in my next visit. read more

We started with the Anticucho de Pollo and Empanada. Both were really tasty! The empanada had a flaky crust, and a very moist interior with nice spices. For the main course, we had Jalea Limena which was lightly breaded and fried nicely, with a mix of shrimp, calamari, fish, mussels, and yucca with nice dipping sauces. For dessert, we had the "donuts" made from squash and sweet potato with molasses topping. The meal's pacing was very relaxed, and before we finished, the owner came over to see how our food was. The atmosphere inside is quite nice. He said Thursday's they are doing Chaufa which is a fusion of Peruvian and Chinese food! I want to go back and try that! Give this place a shot. You won't be disappointed! read more

This place does not disappoint. The flavors are amazing and the service is great! This is a true hidden gem.

We've been to this restaurant twice now and have been impressed both times! It is a small business so we've been greeted by the owner both times including on Peruvian Independence Day where we were offered a complimentary drink, Pisco (Peruvian). The ceviche is one of the best we've had. As a fish, they use sea bass and the flavor is unique and distinct from traditional Mexican ceviche we've had. Another favorite is the Lomo Saltado. I recommend you start with Ceviche and share as many entrees as your collective stomachs will allow! Hidden gem! read more

Walking into Lima Taverna for the first time, I instantly felt as if I was back in Chincha with the live drums; you can just feel the music. The atmosphere was inviting and you feel like family (Eliseo is a great host). I had ordered just one empanada to go, and I will tell you that the last bite was just a great as the first. Juicy beef, with just the right spices, wrapped in a light, buttery, flaky crust. Also, don't pass on the dipping sauce. I forgot it was in the bag, yet still gave it a thumbs up on my taste test. They might be a bit pricey , but the quality is superb. It has been 10 mins since I finished it and the flavors are still surging my taste buds. I regret only two things for today, waiting so long to try this place out and not getting another empanada. This is definitely a new hole in the wall gem. read more

My rating is purely on service , I didn't even get to try the food! We sat there for 15-20 minutes and no one came to take our order or bring us water, nothing! It's like we didn't exist. Another couple walks in they sit them and right away ask what they wanted to drink and took their appetizer order. I was baffled and walked out. We drove 50 mins to try this place. We ended up going to Brasa Grill which is also Peruvian food. We were highly satisfied with the ceviche and Aji de gallina. read more
