    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.

    I didn't go into this location so I will ask my husband more about it. However, I did have the food. Everything was good the chicken and rice. I did not enjoy the green beans so much but everyone's taste buds are different. I like my green beans to be a little bit more cooked and seasoned. My green beans were crunchy and bland so that's the only thing that I would recommend. The sauces were pretty good as well. I haven't been inside this place in years but I'm sure that it's still pretty clean and the customer service is good but I will have to follow up with my husband to get more information

    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.

    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.

    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.

    IMO, best Peruvian chicken closest to Columbia where I live. I haven't been here since Covid and my husband had a hankering so we came this evening for dinner. We ordered a half chicken which came with two sides ($11.95). We chose green beans and rice with black beans. I normally wouldn't choose green beans as I am particular how it's cooked. I like them more on the cooked side so it's not firm. Chicken was super moist so it must have been fresh. We only get chicken whenever we come here and have never been disappointed with the quality. We always leave happy.

    So, I'm not a big fan of writing bad reviews, so please know that when I do, it's warranted…read more I've been to this America's Best so many times. It's in my neighborhood, it's conveniently close, and more often than not, they get it right. Today wasn't one of those days. Pressed for time, I didn't feel like cooking and needed to get a meal for my Wife, who works overnight as a nurse. We decided to visit America's best, ordering three separate orders of food, totaled at $61. Midway through eating her 7 piece Honey Lemon Pepper Wings, my daughter noticed a piece of hair in the honey. To be honest, I gave my daughter my 5 piece and really didn't want to go back up to the America's best bc I was tired, and they were busy, and I didn't want to embarrass the establishment while they had a crowded house. But my Wife insisted a refund, so I obliged. I called first, and told them my issue. I was told that if I wanted a refund I would have to come back to the carry out so I did. When I got there, a female cook of Asian descent asked me to open the container to which I did. She said she couldn't see the hair, even though I pointed it out to her. She then asked the cashier if she could see the hair, to which she replied: Yes, but it's super small. As if that made it any less unsanitary. The cook then said, it must've come from you, and pointed to my 5 o'clock shadow for a beard! I was shocked & offended, for one bc I barely have a beard, that particular dish wasn't even my meal, and just the audacity to imply that I would do something as disgusting as placing hair in my food to get a refund. It was super insulting. Again, I'm at an age where I'm not going to be arguing with anyone publicly. Especially over a $14 meal. But I didn't inform her that I have much better things to do then be going back & forth about chicken. She then told me that I could not have a refund, but she would make me more food, which I told her earlier that the site of the hair turned my daughters stomach and she was no longer hungry. I accepted the replacement bc something is better than nothing & after a long work day, I just didn't have the energy to continue to fight, but man am I disappointed in the customer service, the lack of respect for regular patrons, and my overall experience. I'm sure it doesn't matter to them, but I will never visit this America's Best again, and it's not even because of the mistake bc mistakes happen. It's bc of how they made me feel. 0 stars.

    Crimson Coward (2nd Visit)…read more Came back for a second visit to Crimson Coward and it definitely confirmed why I wanted to give it another try. Food: This time I kept it simple but strategic. I ordered the smash burger combo (only $4.99 to upgrade--great deal), which came with fries and a drink. The burger was stacked with onion, American cheese, pickles, and their signature crimson sauce on a soft brioche bun. Everything worked together--juicy, flavorful, and not overly greasy. I also tried the Quarter Coward (an off-menu item priced at $5.49), got it mild with honey sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly--tender inside with a nice crisp on the outside. The honey added just enough sweetness to balance the mild heat without overpowering it. Definitely a hidden gem on the menu. Atmosphere: The space is bright, clean, and inviting. I especially liked the open kitchen concept--it gives transparency and lets you see everything being made fresh. Plenty of tables available if you're dining in. Customer Service: You're greeted when you walk in, which I always appreciate. Ordering is primarily done through kiosks, so interaction is minimal unless you need assistance--but the setup is smooth and efficient. Wait Time: Everything is cooked to order, which I don't mind. I placed my order at 3:16 PM and had my food by 3:30 PM, so about a 14-minute wait--pretty reasonable for fresh food. Overall: Solid second experience. Good quality, fair pricing, and consistent execution. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu--especially those off-menu finds
