The food is good but this place is running scams! I went in for lunch today and thought it was strange when they didn't give me a receipt until I asked for one. Turns out they purposefully over charged me! I watched and they did it to the next patron too! Just be careful. The food is good but they are dishonest and scamming people out of their money! read more

Food is fantastic, great prices, and you get healthy servings. This was our first time visiting and we can't wait to go back! Yum!

I guess I am missing something. I thought it was dry, maybe it had been in the box too long. The sides were dried out and old. I am not sure if the were fresh out of the can if I would have liked them. The wood flavor is nice, but I rather have the 1/2 the price greasy one from Sams. Sauces green yellow ok thin and small. read more

This is one of my favorite places but today I am not so happy. I always tip and appreciate the service but was charged for an extra sauce when I have seen them give out sauce after sauce repeatedly. I wish Sardi's was closer because I would patronize them instead of being nickeled and dimed at Lima's. read more

I love Lima's and I would recommend this place to everyone. However, Freddy needs to work on his customer service. He lacks customer service. I have gone to this location several times and I wonder if he just does not like me, a black female? However, if I go back he can NEVER WAIT ON ME AGAIN!!! The rest of the staff is great. They are always friendly and provide excellent customer service. The only place the is the best all around is Bowie. The provide the best customer service not matter who is waiting on you. :-) read more

Listed as American food. NOT. Was looking for burgers and fries...Mexican style food. $26 for two of us with drinks. Food was okay. Wish they had more side choices. Was not overly spiced. Was a little pricey read more

Make sure you order to eat at the place or check you order before leaving the store, don't make my mistake since I trust I was going to get cook food! Fry not cook! What a disappointment. read more

Lima's Chicken - Not cook fry - New American Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Fairly simple take out place. The food is great! Try the tacos, you won't be disappointed. The cilantro rice is tasty too. Chicken is made fresh and is never dry. Just do it. Then stop by the Starbucks to get a coffee afterwards. Parking is behind the restaurant. read more

Chicken is tasteful but nothing extraordinary, still better than some other local restaurants selling Peruvian style chicken, so good enough to try. The other Peruvian food they sell is not authentic. I was really disappointed to try the Lomo Saltado dish which was far from what it's supposed to be. I've never had such a bad Lomo Saltado in my life. read more

Awful food, dirty-looking restaurant. I did carry-out and had to wait for them to cooking pork chops, which are totally NOT worth it. They are very thin and smelly. It's a distinct pork smell, I can't describe it, but it was repulsive by the time I got home. I couldn't eat it. I ordered the chicken for my son. It smelled great, but he said it was gritty and over cooked. I totally passed on the fountain drink... the machine was filthy! The ice dispenser cover looks like it hadn't been washed ever. Oh, and the lady behind the counter seemed very annoyed while taking my order. I realized that I walked to the wrong side of the counter to place my orders after she started yelling in Spanish to a dude at the other end of the service counter. Whatever. NEver again for this dirty joint. read more

Ordered through grub hub for dinner and was not disappointed! Everything tasted fresh and was well seasoned. You also get a large amount of food! We got the Lima's chicken special which was 1 full chicken with 3 sides and soda. We got white rice, black beans, and yuca for the sides. We loved everything and had plenty to save as leftovers for the next day as well. Great food for a great price! Will definitely be getting from here again! read more

Food is very good, taste is awesome and big portions for one serving. I had the tallarin saltado with chicken, and was able to get 3 meals out of one order. The ceviche is full of flavor but if you dont like spicy food make sure to let them know because it was too spicy for me but perfect for my husband. The horchata is very good. Parking can be a little difficult during busy times. read more

Lima's Chicken - a plate of noodles with onions - New American Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

See all

Had been wanting to try since it opened a few years ago, saw a Facebook post from all Annapolis saying it was a must try so I did. I really hope that was a paid ad because there is absolutely no reason to go here. Although some of the items sound interesting and different on the Peruvian specials I went with the charbroiled chicken. It was juicy but not any better then Boston market chicken and no where close to Nando peri peri's. The sides where larger portion sides, tried the black beans again just average and for some reason I got fried rice which would best be described as discussing mush. Having not tried anything else I can't say if it's worth trying other then I probably won't be going back to try any other items. read more

Might be the best Peruvian chicken in Annapolis. It is hit or miss on if you get warm food or cold food, but if you get warm food, this place is hard to beat. read more

Outstanding food. They brine the chicken (with herbs and lime juice I suspect) and then roast it over coals. Excellent sides. The smell will get you salivating before you ever see the food. My favorite dish is the Pollo Pallera, which is half a boned chicken then grilled and served hot. Tried a lot of their dishes, and not one so far has been a disappointment. All the sides are fantastic too, but personal favorites are the green beans, fried rice, or the mixed veggies. read more

Their methods of service needs some help. When I was at the Bowie location, I ordered the !/4 white meat with fries and vegetable. Well they place everything on your plate and then you have to wait your turn to pay. By the time I sat down, the fries were limp, soggy and cold. The other two food items didn't fare well either. When we got to the Annapolis location, they of course, had the same set up. There weren't too many folks in line and we decided to order a sandwich and burrito. It took a long time for our order to arrive and guess what, when they did the fries were cold. The chicken cheesesteak sandwich with grilled mushrooms, onion, peppers, tomato and lettuce was tasty, but nothing special. The burrito was so big, it was impossible to eat, and so it was de-constructed into its many parts and eaten with fork and knife. Another poster was spot on about some of the vegetable sides. They most certainly came from a can. Just because a place might have one winner on their menu, (the spit grilled chicken) it doesn't excuse them for not having the same quality control over other items that are served. I have no reason to return. read more

Delicious. I stopped in on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. I had the fish tacos. The tilapia was light and flaky. They were wrapped in corn tortillas, topped with lettuce, a non-spicy pico de gallo, cilantro and lime topping. Fresh, flavorful, and light but filling. I can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Great Peruvian Chicken! Huge fan!!! You choose from 1/4 (dark or white meat) or 1/2 of a chicken and get two sides. Half a chicken and two sides is only $8.50! The black beans and rice are great, and so are the green beans. I would highly recommend visiting this place. So glad to have it in Annapolis! read more

This place recently opened in the space where Dimeo's Pizza once was. I probably wouldn't have gone there just because I forget about businesses over there, but a co-worker suggested it and I was hungry for lunch so my boyfriend and I tried it. I was very satisfied! It's kind of similar to Nando's just cheaper and with a peruvian spin on it. There are lots of menu options aside from chicken. My boyfriend and I split the carne asada with 2 sides ($12.95, not bad) We chose the black beans and veggies to go with it. The meal was delicious! We only got 1 order and it was plenty for the 2 of us to share. The steak was juicy and flavorful and the black beans were some of the best I've ever had! This place was a pleasant surprise, and a great option for a take-out dinner during the workweek when I don't feel like cooking. It isn't too pricey, the portions are good, overall it's pretty healthy, and there could be leftovers to use the next day! I'm a fan! read more

The guys and I went here for lunch. I was pick!! I had visited the Hanover location a few times before so I said to them "You guys have to try this place, it's so yummy!" I order the chicken bowl, one guy had the chicken burrito, and the chicken quarter and some sides. The meal I had here didn't match the meal I had in Hanover. Hanover location was better. The guys enjoyed their meal soto the staffing! read more

So like other reviewers this place charged me a ridiculous price for the "rice bowl" without any meat. It used to cost around $6.00. Now they charged me $9.00 and it's been less than a year from my $6.00 charge for the same thing. Every time you come here they charge different prices. When they first opened they were great but no more. read more

My husband and I ordered 2 chicken salad bowl's and the service was terrible. The young lady who served us seemed annoyed by me asking questions about the toppings they offered. She was unfriendly and rolled her eyes when I asked her for the chicken bowl instead of the 1/4 Chicken meal I considered getting initially. Fyi, the 1/4 chicken meal had not been prepared yet, so I didn't understand her frustration? She used her bare fingers to drop my lettuce on our salads and rushed us through the line. The gentleman at the register was even worse. He was flat and unwelcoming. I asked why my food was a higher cost than the price listed on the menu and he gave a rude and short explanation. I also asked what dressing came with the meal and he said THE GREEN AND YELLOW ONE. When we got to our truck we noticed there was no dressing in our bag, so my husband went back in to get them and the guy at the register tried to charge my husband for the dressing we never received. I wanted to cancel our orders but my husband said he didn't feel like being in there for another second. I would give this review 0 stars but 1 is the lowest allowed. read more

I want to start by saying that I love Limas chicken however Andrea, the receptionist, just hung up on me when trying to purchase extra sauces. I wish they could figure out how to add this an option on different courier services. Also disappointed one of their staff hung up the phone on me when all I was trying to do was purchase their goods and services read more

The food is pretty good. But the staff always has an attitude. I've been coming here pretty regularly for a few months and they never greet me with a welcoming smile or say thank you. It's uncomfortable. If they worked on their customer service it would be a lot better read more

Delicious. Love the gyro, whole chicken dinner, and bowls. I'm sure the rest of the menu is amazing too but just haven't tried it all yet. Def worth a try! I'll be back soon!!! read more

Best Peruvian style chicken I've had thus far! Friendly and speedy service! I've been to two in DE (Chicken House and a new one a mile down the road) and I've been to the popular Pollo Rico near Silver Spring, MD. This place has far juicer chicken and with better seasoning too! I like how I'm not forced to have rice as a side as I'm following a low carb diet. You know the place is on point when you can't stop eating the deliciously seasoned string beans! I wish there was one of these closer to me. :/ read more

Love this chicken, the flavor is unbelievable. We frequently visit, great price quick and friendly service

Heaven on a plate. Just great. Nice price. Great food. Great staff. I've been several times now. Always great stuff!

I was just introduced to Lima's. It is definitely some of the best chicken I've ever eaten! I added the plantain and green bean sides which were also delicious. There's a good selection of other sides. Everything was fresh and the serving sizes generous. Affordable and tasty! I can't wait to go back. read more

Just as good as the other locations. Best chicken you will ever have. Don't forget the yellow sauce. Sides are fresh and excellent. Staff are friendly. Lima's is still the best Pollo Ala Brasa around. read more

The spot is not easily seen from the street but parking on the inside of the community is pretty easy and accessible. The chicken is great! Anything else you order may take a few minutes because they make it when you order. Had the steak and it was great. The sides are really good. The people who work there are really nice. They have a regular in me. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Food was good along with the sides. If I would of got the food to go I would of gave it four stars. The place seemed a little dirty and the costumer service was horrible. While ordering my food the guy didn't seems to care if I was there or not. I was probably in there for twenty min and saw this happen to everyone that walked up to order. One lady stood there for a couple min and had to yell for someone to come and take her order. Might be back but definitely won't eat inside read more

I love the chicken at Lima's, but I hate the treatment that I get in this place, and it causes me to stay away, even though I live in Annapolis. I now go out of my way to eat at Sardi's - much better chicken and they don't nickel and dime you over asking for an extra tiny container of sauce. I just went to Limas tonight and realized why I rarely go - the guy refused to give me extra sauce, he said I had enough. I don't know how much money they save by scrimping on an extra sauce, but I'm sure it pales in comparison to how much I would be spending in this place if I was treated decently. Classic example of what is meant by "penny-wise and pound foolish". And after I got home I realized they are using noticeably smaller chickens than they always had. So you get less for more money and they don't appreciate you as a customer. Not a recipe for a success business. read more

$2.25-$1.55 is $.70, correct? Ok! I decided to visit this restaurant last week after reading some reviews. The food was good...nothing like claiming to be the "best Peruvian chicken in town". My girlfriend did not enjoy the yucca fries or the plantains. I placed my order and asked for a receipt and left the restaurant. The lady was basically ringing up my order and another guys order at the same time and I knew she was going to make a mistake. Once I got to my destination, I realized that I was overcharged!!! I ordered a 1/4 chicken meal, two extra sides and a can soda. The soda was $1.55 and I was charged $2.25. After I got off work...I decided to go get my $.70. The manager went back and forth with me about it claiming that $1.55 plus tax was $1.86!!! Ugh, WHERE?!?!? I didn't even argue when he handed me ONLY $.50!!! After this incident I decided to never visit this restaurant or chain of restaurants again!!! I also realized other reviews have been treated this way as well!!! read more

Chicken is always moist and delicious, and they give you a lot for the money. Staff is friendly and always accommodating. Parking can be inconvenient, but well worth the trip. read more

The chicken was really good. I had 1/4 white with green beans and plantains. The plantains were a welcomed surprise. They were cooked just right. The only reason I give them 3 stars instead of 5 is the ambiance. I got there a little before Noon, but the tables were still dirty. Ambiance means a lot to me, but the food was good. read more

Thought this place was pretty good! We tried the chicken and cheese wrap and the lamb gyro with a side of fries. Nice place for a casual lunch. read more

I gave this place a rare 5 stars in my earlier review but I had a very unpleasant experience several weeks ago. along with my to go chicken order I purchased a side of black beans. the server did not secure the top very well and by the time I reach home the beans had spilled everywhere, in my car, then all over my kitchen counter and all over the rest of the order. I can forgive this mistake and this would not be a big deal, but I called to to politely advise them of the error. the person answering the phone was obviously the one who made the error and when I explained the problem I got no response. Not "sorry sir" or anything like that. So I asked to speak to the manager and was told he wasn't there and left my name and number. I called the next day after not getting a call Bottom line is that I called no less than 5 time and a manager was never present at the time I was told he/she would be. So I went in when I was nearby a week or so later and asked for the manager. the same server told me "just a minute, I will get him" and she then came out and said the wasn't there. Seems to me that there is no management presence in this restaurant and that the staff and the management was entirely ducking their responsibility. The incident with the beans was not the main issue. Stuff like that happens, but the poor training of staff and the lack of management interest in hearing about my complaint is what prompts me to write this unfavorable review. I will not return as a matter of principle, even though the food is darn good. read more

The food is very good. New sort of fast food--not much ambiance.

All of the sides were excellent. The chicken a little burnt. But probably just a one time deal. I expect to return soon to try again. Very friendly. Good service. Nearly perfect the first time. read more
