    Veggie burrito bowl
    Rena E.

    I came here for the first time because I was curious about the food. I reviewed the menu before arriving, so I decided on a burrito bowl. When I arrived it was just okay. It was kind of dimly lit inside, but the ordering station had lighting that was decent enough to see what I was ordering. I walked in and was not greeted, so I basically stated that I wanted to order a burrito bowl. The staff member looked at me opposed to directly asking what I wanted in the bowl. I started naming the usual items (rice, black beans, corn, salsa, peppers and onlons etc, but since they only had the chicken burrito bowl listed on the in-house menu, I stated that I only wanted a veggie bowl. The cashier at the other end of the station stated that veggie bowls are the same price as those with meat. He added that I could add some roasted vegetables instead. I never asked about pricing, but I guess I understood why he said it, but not how he said it. Everything here seems to be extra and by extra, I mean nickle and diming extra. The guacamole was almost $4.00 in addition to a bowl that was already almost $14.00, which is insane. The service was a no for me and was pretty much non-existent. However, the burrito bowl was unexpectedly exceptional. The flavors were impeccable. I was amazed from the first bite that the flavors exceeded my expectations. I only added salsa verde to the bowl and that was more than enough. I am used to Chipotle bowls in which the salad dressing/sauce always kicks up the flavor several notches, but Lima's bowl did not need anything because the flavors were already prominent and available in every bite. I am not interested in eating here again, but the taste of that burrito bowl might make me reconsider.

    Delicious! I stopped in for a quick pick-up, and it was a great choice. The inside of the restaurant was just okay--pretty dated look. The service was friendly and efficient, and I'll definitely be back to try more dishes. The flavor was spot on, the meat was tender, and both the yellow and green sauces added an extra burst of flavor that really enhanced the meal. Perfect quick pick up and go!

    bluf: lima's chicken offers Peruvian style dishes and combo meals reminiscent to a KFC (but much better). Lima's offers a pretty wide selection on their menu ranging from chicken options (dark/white meat, cut of the meat, etc) to burritos and other dishes. I usually opt for the combo meal because it feels like a great deal with tons of food (it's a whole chicken + 3 sides + a 2L soda which you can swap for a small side). The taste is awesome. I've been coming here for a while and I feel like the taste of the food has changed in the last 3 years or so. It's a bit different, but not necessarily in a bad way, so I can still recommend them for their yummy food. Their sit-down area is kind of fast-food like. There's not really any service involved after ordering your food, so it's not really a sit-down restaurant situation. They're also a good candidate for carry-out/doordash if that's what you're looking for. Love the spot and they also have a few locations scattered across the DMV area, which in my experience has varied in terms of flavor/experience, so just keep that in mind.

    Overall- awesome food for the price, well-balanced and delicious food, great sauces, kind service, and a casual ambiance The chicken is always juicy, fresh, hot, and falling off the bone with excellent flavor. We love their fries, yucca fries, platanos, veggies, and fried rice. If I could purchase the green sauce by the gallon, I would. The napkins here can't handle the mess of the food, but it's a small price to pay for the quantity and quality you get for the price. This Lima's is one of our go-tos for dinner the past four years. (We've been to other Lima's and they aren't as good- one had completely different fries and green sauce.) We do take out or we eat in. I also love grabbing a Family Special or Lima's Special to bring to a family who just had a baby or might need a meal for something. The bathrooms are traditional- separated by men's and women's with multiple stalls in each.

    Such a tiny chicken, I filled up on wonderful veg!
    Becky H.

    I love, love, love their flavors. Amazing, piquant, fresh. Especially the steamed veggies! I was sorely disappointed by how tiny my 1/4 chicken was today. In the past, a thigh- drumstick combo would be enough alone, without the veg. Today, it was the size of a Cornish Game Hen. Sad panda. The drive through is efficient & staff so friendly. I hope I'll get more chicken next time.

    Cooler bar, runny sour cream
    Claudia C.

    Actually wanted to give 2 1/2 stars, so it is rounded up. We visited here several years back and since we were in the area, decided to stop in. It looks the same. The Peruvian chicken fragrance met us at the door, we were excited. The menu was posted and I ordered the chicken tacos, you get 3 double shells (about6") heated in a grill of sorts similar to a panini press. The young man added some chicken that was precut, no specific means of measurement. Then the toppings, displayed in a typical cooler case. Any toppings you want. At the end I asked for sour cream, ok, he ladeled out this white runny stuff, it had to be the sour cream that was diluted beyond recognition. A big minus there. You get Pico de Gallo sauce, I asked for it in a cup b/c a little goes a long way...upcharge of $0.75 . Their prices are very high! $10.95/ quarter chicken. My husband ordered the steak tacos, same delivery, the steak was chewy, but had good flavor. $2 more for steak. The tacos were too messy to pick up from the sour cream sauce, so we resorted to a knife and fork. I ended up breaking the fork trying to cut them up. Frustrated with the whole deal, to say the least. Good location, plenty of free parking. Paid $29 for this and a soft drink.

    Roach

    This is putrid. Me and my fiancé went to Limas for dinner. Sat down and noticed the place had roaches. when there is on there is more. Makes you wonder what's going on beyond the dining room. Hopefully the health department comes in and does an inspection. Not only the roaches, but the staff was rude toned and no smile to be found. Some of the kitchen staff was sitting up on the tables in the back where food is handled.

Several months ago, a friend, ("L", if you happen to read this :-), treated a bunch of us to some super-fresh super-tasty ceviche Peruano, and I lost the info. Yesterday, hoping for a quiet lunch, we found Pipilinka Peruvian Charbroiled Chicken, and the moment we saw the authentic home-made foods on the menu, we knew this was the place! There's plenty of parking, and we walked across a patio with benches and tables shared among several restaurants, also used for occasional live music. Pipilinka is a cute colorful storefront towards the west end of the patio, with some specials on a sandwich board out front. Inside it's cozy and cute, brightly decorated with Peruvian art and crafts. It's family-run, and the owner helped several groups who arrived at the same time, 1:40pm on a Saturday (Nov 2025), sort out among the 25 or so indoor seats. Several could sit out front, on a nice day. The weather was a bit cool, and we loved sitting indoors near the little space-heater in the front area. The friendly owner helped us with several questions about the offerings, and we started with a $4.50 bean and cheese Salvadoran pupusa. The farina corn dough was hot, pan-fried to a slight sear on one side, filled with flavor, and came with a small cup of simple tangy fermented cabbage slaw, curtido. The side of clear golden-red tomato non-spicy flavorful salsa-rojo was perfect over the pupusa. They have two or three stand up coolers of canned and bottled beverages, many from Peru and Latin America, and also several that they make themselves. We had a bottled unsweetened lime sparkling-water, Topo Chico, and traditional home-made purple-corn drink, chicha morada, sweet, slightly-fruity, with a hint of clove or cinnamon. Both were very refreshing. As you might guess, the $12 broiled dark-meat quarter-chicken with two sides was our first choice, with Peruvian rice and a small fresh avocado salad. The chicken was just as we wanted it, falling-off-the-bone tender, moist, marinated and gently seasoned throughout, with crispy skin. It was nicely presented on a large pretty plate as a meal, much nicer than fast-food. The generous serving of Chaufa rice is a traditional Chinese-Peruvian recipe of wok-fried rice with shredded chicken, egg, and very-finely chopped veggies, such as bell peppers and scallions. The Inka salad is of fresh lettuce, thin-sliced ripe avocado and tomato and pink pickled onion slices. We chose a small cup of the tangy only-slightly-spicy yellow-color sauce, an Aji Pollero Amarillo, rather than the verde green sauce that the owner said would be spicier. Perfectly cooked and delicious. We also had $18 pan-fried Pescado a la Sarten, sweet white fish, lightly coated and fried, with some of the crunchy tangy picked onions. We added a side of yucca, lightly fried and lightly salted, and as tender as yucca can get :-), more textured than french fries. We used some of that slightly-spicy amarillo salsa as a very complimentary dip. We added steak fries, not an adventurous choice, and they were also lightly fried and lightly salted, and pillowy soft inside. That fish was especially nice, so tender and light and flavorful. We finished with a box of five daisy-shaped home-made Peruvian Alfajores pastries, a pair of thin delicate melt-in-your mouth shortbread-like cookies with a thin layer of purple Peruvian dulce-de-leche sweet jam between. Heavenly! The staff compete to heat the condensed milk just hot enough just long enough for the perfect pastry. The owner tells us that it's all about the timing. Today's recipe has our vote! Somehow, so satisfied from such a delicious meal, we managed to save a couple to take home :-) This is a lovely gentle cozy family-run place to enjoy delicious homemade traditional Peruvian and Salvadoran foods.

This restaurant is known for their ceviche. So, Ceviche lovers are welcome. We felt that the menu was a bit misleading with the description of the dishes. I ordered a so-called chicken soup which it said chicken, cilantro and vegetables. When the soup came, there was no chicken meat or vegetables but it came with chicken feet , liver, heart and other body parts that I was not fond of and a couple peas. The flavor of the broth and rice was bad. We let our waitress (Dilsa) know and she sent the manager to talk to us. He kindly took this item off the bill. Others plates were ok. My aunt order a fish plate with a seafood sauce (this sauce was delicious!!!!) unfortunately the fish was fried but it came saggy. The other fish we ordered was very bland. The sirloin plate with rice , fried egg and fried plantain and french fries was good. The meat was very tender-also delicious! The piña colada was on point and the chicha morada was also good. We ordered coffee and it came freshly brewed! If you come here, make sure you ask questions to your server. The manager told us that they were working on updating the menu. Hopefully this will help when ordering and explaining each item efficiently. Overall experience was ok.
