It's so hard to find Peruvian food in the states, let alone good Peruvian food. I came across this place for dinner and I'm so glad I did. You order at the counter and then once you get seated they bring your food out. For two, we got the Lomo Saltado and a half order of the Polla a la Brasa. The chicken comes with two sides so we chose the Fried Yuca and Fried Plantains. Everything was DELICIOUS. I also really loved the green aji sauce which had a flavor and kick to it. I definitely will be back! It's on the main street but there's street parking and a smaller parking lot nearby. read more

Food was delicious and service was prompt. We came on a Friday for lunch and it wasn't too crowded but feel like it would fill up during dinner time. Many people came in and ordered take out. read more

Food is really good. Service is a little slow because you can tell they make it fresh. We will be back.

Great food great service ambience fair price reasonable good quality food nothing to complain about

We ate on a Friday night and saw a steady stream of customers enter the restaurant- both to go and eat in was hopping Order at a counter and the friendly staff delivers your meal to the table. We tried pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken with salad and fries) and Lomo Saltado (stir fried beef, red onions, tomato, French fries, with rice). Both meals come with a tangy green hot sauce - a great pairing for all our dishes. We also tried the Aguadito de Pollo (chicken soup cooked in a cilantro broth) and the fried plantains - both a perfect start on a cold night. Bravo to Gabriel and the rest of the team at Limena! We will be back read more

Your super friendly neighborhood Peruvian restaurant. Great food! Full of flavor! Wonderful experience. The owner took time to elaborate the making of the dishes. A lot of love goes into one plate. Next time I'll order the plantains to go so I can eat it with vanilla ice cream. read more

Food was amazing and the owner came out to review the menu with us and tell us about the zsa zsa gabor photo. Highly recommend the ceviche!

Everything was absolutely delicious!!! We really enjoyed everything from start to finish. The service was great and the restaurant was nice and pleasant. I enjoyed the music they were playing as well as the bright eating area. I'll definitely come back to try some of their other foods! read more

I had the best experience eating here. The owner came out and explained the menu to me and helped me decide. He asked me whether I wanted to eat my ceviche first or my pollo saltado. I wanted my ceviche first, so while I was eating, the cook held off on making my pollo saltado so that my food would be hot and ready when I was done with my ceviche. When I was about 3 bites away from being done. My main dish was brought to my table. I could tell they were peaking at me to see what phase I was in to determine the right time to bring my food. But I could hear my food being cooked and sizzling in the kitchen so it was fresh off the grill. Now that is customer service! The owner came over and asked if I had eaten Peruvian food before, and he was so sweet, he explained the culture to me. I can tell he loves his country, loves the food and just wants to share it with people. The ceviche was tart/sour which may be hard to have a full serving for some people. In which case it may be better to share the ceviche. But I thought the whole dish was delicious. A bit of soft, a bit of crunchy and very flavorful. The pollo saltado was slightly spicy, had a bbq kind of char to the chicken, and the red onion and tomato were nicely soft and grilled. The purple corn drink was lightly sweet and had apple, cinnamon and clove flavors which made the drink really dynamic. Overall I would eat here again. I love the service, the owner, the look of the restaurant, the food. It was the whole package. read more

Ordered pollo a la brasa and the chicken was raw. The portions are small and the prices are high for the amount of food and quality.

The food is amazingly fresh, superb and tasty. You can tell it's all authentic and homemade with quality ingredients. Even their salad dressing is made fresh and it's very light and extremely good. My daughter wanted extra salad dressing to put on some of her food as well. It is well lit from floor to ceiling length glass wall and surrounded mirrors with beautiful tile that line the walls. There is outdoor seating as well. The service is amazing! Great with the recommendations and the owner even came out to talk to us and talk about some of their weekend specials. We will definitely be back because the food is so good. We also enjoy Peruvian red wine. We will be back and we don't even live in the area. read more

Great food, great service. We stepped into this restaurant and were blown away! The food was amazing and everything was fresh to order and super flavorful. The people working were very kind and helpful. If you have any questions about what to order they have great suggestions. I will definitely be back soon! read more

We have been several times now and each time is fantastic. The owner is great. He goes over all the specials with you and makes great recommendations based off your likes and dislikes. He has never steered us wrong and I've never had the same thing twice. I go in wanting to, but then I see something else I want to try and end up having that. You really can't go wrong supporting this small, locally owned, very authentic Peruvian restaurant. read more

Came in for breakfast this place is authentic and delicious, you will not be disappointed.

Small place with indoor and outdoor seating. Order at counter and find a seat. Everything on the menu is tempting. In fact, we have a difficult time deciding on what to choose from so many great options. We always start with the salchi-papa and we'll often choose a second appetizer (this time it was the three salsa fried yucca). I ordered the Bistek a lo Pobre, my wife had the ceviche mixto and my daughter had a milanesa steak with pasta (forgot the name). Another time I had the lomo saltado sándwich. All of it has been delicious. read more

I tried this place for the first time. I ordered take out through their website and requested the pickup time to be about 75 minutes. It was quite expensive for what we ordered. When I got there, I had to wait another 15 minutes past the pick up time. So it took them about 90 minutes to prepare 3 entrees, 2 appetizers, and 2 desserts. But it cost $150 with a 10% tip. I was a bit annoyed because they didn't seem terribly busy, there were open tables, no line, and it looked like there were only 4 tickets on the board. Not to mention how expensive it all was and the fact that I was asked to leave a tip (and did) when I ordered online. I was a little annoyed I couldn't take back my tip, honestly. They eventually apologized for the wait when they handed me my food and I was ok giving them the benefit of the doubt and brushing it off because of the holiday rush. The big problem here is my sister found METAL SHAVINGS in her food! She picked it out of her mouth! How terrifying! I can understand the delay getting our food but there is absolutely no excuse for this. It was instantly off putting for obvious reasons and who knows if we ingested any of it or not. The food we did have was good but given the food safety issue, we will not be returning. read more

We found it by accident and SOO glad! The menu has so many things I wanted to try so I will just have to go back. It's 1.5 hours from where I live and totally worth it! Try the ceviche...one of the best I've ever had! Lomo saltado is great! Best of all.. the service was top notch.. the manager even came to the table with the food to check if the spice level was OK. Don't be dissuaded by the outside appearance.. delicious thing are inside! read more

Great food, service was excellent. It's a small little place but so worth it!!! Don't leave without trying a dessert!

We came in for the first time to try this place out since my brother recommended us to try it out. There's not many Peruvian places if at all near where we live so I was excited that this place wasn't that bad of a drive. We are Peruvian so ofc we are always craving our countries food! Since this was morning at around 10am we had the opportunity to sit where we liked. Instead of a typical sit you down and menus given out, we had ordered at the cash register. FOOD: The aguadito was so good 5/5 and complementary! The Aji De Gallina was 2/5 it was bland and missing that yummy authentic taste :( Peruvian food is never bland so this was a bit upsetting especially if you've brought out a non-Peruvian friend to eat The tacutacu and lomo was 4/5. Usually lomito Al jugo comes with bread but it didn't come with it so you'll have to order a side of bread for this dish if you want it. However, being the closest Peruvian restaurant to us we will be coming back to try other dishes :) read more

Gabriel is amazing! Everything we've tried here has been fantastic. You can't go wrong choosing to eat here!

Martha and I had breakfast today. Food and service was A+ We will certainly go there again, maybe for dinner.

Tried this place when it first opened for take out and thought it was pretty good! Well, came in this time for lunch and absolutely loved it! Tried the Chicken Saltado, Roasted Chicken and the Paella! The Paella was the stand out for sure! All above mentioned were great, but really liked the Paella! Food: Really fresh and tasty Peruvian food. Also, good desserts as well, like Traditional Peruvian cookie filled with caramel dusted with powdered sugar! Chocolate cake, Cheesecake and Ice Cream. Drinks: Beer, Wine, Sodas, Teas, Coffee and Peruvian juices and traditional drinks of all kinds. Service: Casual, walk up and order, with a large menu. Food is brought to your table. Very friendly staff and had no problem explaining the menu Ownership: Locally owned and operated. Parking: Very small lot in back and very limited street parking out front. read more

Came on a Friday night. Easy to find and easy parking on the street. Tables inside the restaurant and outdoor seating as well with heat lamps. Ordered the ceviche, lomo saltado, bread and platano. The ceviche was delicious and accompaniments went well with the dish. Really enjoyed the lomo saltado as well but the flavor was a little light. Bread doesn't come with your meal but the price wasn't extreme like most places that charge for bread. Service was great. Everyone friendly and helpful with the menu. Restaurant was clean and tables appropriately spread out. read more

I came here a few nights ago with my daughter and her boyfriend. Yelp reviews looked good, and I can honestly say everything we had was worthy of their high rating. In fact, just a couple of nights later, they went back and had dinner there again! Not only is this place charming, but they are serving some seriously tasty food out of this kitchen. I've never been to Peru, but if everything tastes this good there, I may have to get my passport ready. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with what you order. Service was great. The owner literally came from the other side of counter and walked us through the menu. He made suggestions. He asked us questions. We got close. He might even follow me on Instagram now. Prices reflect the quality- but it's still cheaper than a ticket to South America. Stop reading and just go already! read more

Walked in for lunch. I had the Limena sandwich which included braised chicken, ham, and a poached egg. DELICIOUS! If you are in Thousand Oaks, CA and want a hearty and delicious sandwich with tons of flavor, stop in here! Worth the money for a unique and fantastic lunch. read more

I order for myself one sandwich of pollo saltado with yuca frita and my friend ordered a sandwich chicken too and fried plantain also ordered a Peruvian cheviche y half of chicken with Rice and fries for the kids. The place is pretty small you have to order on the counter Pay first surf later. We had a nice experience I feel on my opinion the yuca needs to be more softer it was really hard. The server was very friendly she came to check it out on us a couple times . read more

Absolutely LOVED this place. It was so good that we considered going back for lunch the next day. Some of the best peruvian food we have had in the States. My partner and I ordered the Lomo Saltado and a half order of the Polla a la Brasa (peruvian roast chicken). The Lomo Saltado was served with white rice and we opted for the yucca fries and fried plantains for the sides that came with our chicken. Each dish was served with a green aji sauce (think of a flavorful hot sauce) that complemented each dish perfectly. Everything was amazing. We ate every last crumb of food! Could not recommend this place more! Must visit! read more

This is the best Peruvian food in the Valley. I have try it other ones but like Limeña is the best. I highly recommend.

I had a great experience at this restaurant this evening! The food was fabulous but what stood out even more was the friendly service. The owner and his staff went out of their way to ensure each customer had a great experience. They would go to the different tables and chat with customers and provide background on the food that they had ordered and its significance to Peruvian cuisine! It's refreshing to see that level of engagement with their customers! I had the Arroz con Mariscos, similar to a seafood paella! The portion was generous and the seafood was plentiful! While this is not a super fancy venue, it's meticulously elegant, clean and orderly! The outside seating was very nice! They also have a variety of Peruvian beers and delicious desserts to complement a great dinner! read more

Food: it was quite decent, however the ceviche had no salt, and the portion seemed a little small. The Yuka was good, I believe it was frozen yuka, not sure if it was fresh. Lomo Salteado was okay too. Chaufa de quinoa with salmon unfortunately was super bland. I don't recommend this dish. Service: was good, took something to go and they took quite some time to give to me, I saw it setting on the counter for a while so that was a little annoying. Overall: It was okay to satisfy my craving for Peruvian food. However, I'm a loyal Natalie's customer. I'll wait and make the drive to Glendale next time read more

Someone mentioned in another post that once you have bento Peru you will constantly miss Peruvian ceviche. This place did not disappoint and had amazing ceviche. We also really enjoyed the lomo saltado, tallarin shrimp saltado, and tallarin con pollo milenesa. We finished with yummy fresh churros and ice cream ! Huge hit with our family. Lastly the service here was great! The vibe was also super casual for my littles to have some wiggle room. I would definitely recommend and can't wait to try more off the menu! read more

This was a fun surprise! We were getting new tires at Tire Man and wanted breakfast while we waited. This Peruvian restaurant had a sign saying now serving breakfast . We gave p it a try and oh my gosh! Delicious, I had the pancakes and they were light and fluffy but crispy on the edges. Tasted like cake. My husband had their 2 eggs sausage and O' Brian potatoes. Sausage is high quality and potatoes were outstanding. read more
