False advertising with prices . They advertise one price then when I get to the register the price goes up by 1 dollar . When I asked for my money back the person didn't want to give me the 1 dollar back despite the price discrepancy. It's not my fault as a customer you didn't up date your signs to reflect the accurate price and now I will never return back to your establishment because you want to bait and switch on prices at the register

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!

side of fried rice

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.

The food was just okay. I ordered the ¼ chicken (dark meat) with fried rice and green beans. The skin and the meat touching it was so hard and tasted burnt I didn't get to enjoy that part. I really enjoyed the fried rice though! Beans were nothing special and didn't really have any flavor. It was a pretty big portion size in my opinion so I definitely got my moneys worth. My husband got the 3 steak tacos and he really enjoyed those. Both of our meals + 2 fountain drinks costed around $28 which is a great price. They also do military discount on orders above $25, so it brought our total to $24 Service could've been better as they seemed a little rude and were swearing in Spanish for the majority of the time I was standing at the counter. Ambiance of the restaurant was kind of weird/off putting/ not very clean and if we come back again (although I don't think I will), I would rather take it to go.

The rice was pretty good, but the green sauce they provide on the side (and I added a bit to the rice) really elevated the flavor and experience. That sauce was much better than the creamy sauce they also provided. The plaintains were on the sweeter side, and they were good but I've definitely had better. The service was solid if not uninspired (they checked the boxes for the basics but nothing more). I was told it would take 10 minutes but it was more like 20-25. Next time I'll call ahead. Otherwise, this is a good place with very good food worth visiting.

Turns out it's 5 minutes from their home and they have eaten here many times. :) Lots of free parking in this shopping center. Easy entrance/exit, too. We arrived at about 11:40 and there was nobody inside except staff. The place is sparkling clean and the menu extensive! We both agreed we'll come back another time and try some different Peruvian specialties. But for today, I have been wanting a traditional 1/4 dark chicken, rice & beans, and coleslaw. This meal (entrée + two sides) includes a drink, for $10.60 with tax. We were out of there in 5 minutes - no kidding! and took our food to my friend's house to eat. Bonus for fast service! First, the chicken. Ohhhhh my. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, and that distinctive spice mix that says pollo a la brasa. I could have eaten a whole chicken! But I know better ... lol Coleslaw: exactly the right mix of sweet and tangy for me. Some folks don't like sweet at all, so you should know, it is a little sweet. But crispy and not at all droopy. Rice and beans: these are mixed together and it's brilliant. The black beans are cooked just enough to not be mushy, and the "sauce" from them has a hint of spice that melds beautifully with the vaguely saffron rice. Sauces: ah, here's a thing. The yellow sauce was perfect. The green sauce was FIERY. I found a good recipe for "authentic" Peruvian green sauce and have been making it at home for over a year. But truth to tell, I grow my own jalapeños and none of them were super hot. Both of us were a bit surprised at how hot the sauce was. It was just over the edge for me, and we added a little mayo (how many of you know it's made with mayo? lol) which brought it down to tasty level. It's really one of the best Peruvian chicken places in the whole area, and I will definitely be back!

I decided to go ahead and give them a try since it had been years since I ate any of the locations last. I looked online at their menu first to remind myself of their dishes. I was pleased to see they actually have pupusas but like a lot of other establishments, they don't have chicken and cheese. I decided to go with the jalapeno and cheese and get my arroz de chaufa for my dinner that night. The pupusas are made fresh and I will wait for that all day! Just so happened that while I was waiting they brought out fresh fried rice from the back. I was surprised at how many other people had came in after me to order since it was a little late. They do serve cortito with the pupusas and that red sauce I'm not a fan of. I didn't even try it at all this time. The pupusa was hot off the grill just like it and with the cheese gooey and a slight spice from the fresh jalapenos. The fried rice was good however I wish they would use thigh meat or more juicier cuts. I'm sure this is a slumgullion or hash like bye product from chicken that hasn't been sold or odd cuts left over LOL at least that's what I assume so I guess I can't really be picky. Overall, not a bad meal. Service when placing was okay. The young lady had difficult time understanding what I was saying and ordering but she was quick with the upsell multiple times lol. I'd say this is a reliable location to come back to

We ended up sitting at a table and enjoyed a variety of dishes along with some happy hour drinks. The ambiance is clean, modern, and pretty cool. The service was fairly quick overall, and our food arrived fresh without much waiting. My first drink was the white sangria, which was well-balanced, moderately sweet, and refreshing. The wines we tried also had great flavor. The happy hour deals on the alcohol menu are especially generous, so I highly recommend taking advantage of them. The ceviche sampler included traditional, cremoso, and callejero. Each ceviche was unique and packed with flavor. My personal favorite was the street-style ceviche, callejero. The tostones, or crispy fried plantains, were light and crunchy. My partner isn't a big fan of mayo-forward sauces, but he really enjoyed the crab salad topping because it paired well with the tostone. My favorite was the shrimp topping as the shrimp were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. The conchitas a la parmesana was another interesting dish featuring seared scallops. They were grilled with a creamy Parmesan sauce and served with ciabatta. I found that the sauce was a little overpowering and took away from the scallop itself, but I really enjoyed eating it with the ciabatta. Lastly, we ordered two empanadas: one chicken and one made with a mix of sirloin and tenderloin. The dough was a little too oily for my taste, but it was thin and flaky. The chicken and beef fillings had slightly different seasonings and textures, and both were enjoyable. If I could add one thing, I wish our server had explained more about the menu or drinks when she asked whether it was our first time there. She also wasn't around the table consistently, which made it a little difficult to order additional drinks and dishes. Other than that, we really enjoyed the meal, and I'm glad we came here. I'd love to come back for brunch or another happy hour!
