I am all in on Lima 32 Peruvian restaurant. Back in January, I noticed the Lima 32 sign in the old…read moreTacos mi Nachos space in Meriden. Something about the sign aesthetic made me think it would be a good place. I Yelp-Searched it, and Lima 32 damn near had a perfect rating based on less than 50 reviews. I'm a Food Blogger. So I try to explore new places and avoid repeating spots I know. I've eaten at Lima 32 three times since January. Lima 32 is a small casual Peruvian spot located in a very small plaza in Meriden. Parking is tough, but they've done a nice job with the aesthetics inside. Lima 32 is also available on DoorDash within a certain area. I've now had the Lomo Saltado, the Arroz Con Marisco and the Chaufa de Pollo. Best Lomo Saltado I've ever had, and I've had a really expensive one at a famous CT spot. It's basically a beef and veggie stir fry. You can see the chef making it with fire in the pan if you have the right seat. The soy and oyster sauce based glaze is good salty. So flavorful and everything is perfectly cooked. Best Arroz Con Marisco I've ever had. It's a saucy Peruvian paella. The sauce (Aji Amarillo) has a well rounded creamy pepper flavor. The seafood, like crab, mussels and shrimp really stand out. I suspect the seafood varies depending on what's available. The Chaufa de Pollo, a Chinese fried rice style dish, was very good too. Huge pieces of chicken. Eat it with the delicious Aji Verde sauce. Is Lima 32 hidden? I don't know. But it sure the hell is a gem. It's must visit. 5 Stars

There are photo ops as soon as you walk in the door. The music is upbeat and pumpin, the staff was lively and soo awesome! And the food?! The food was delicious! So much flavor in the sauces and cremas, I was genuinely impressed. I had the shrimp and yuca dish and it was a 10/10! Drinks were flowing and desserts were creatively prepared and yummy. It was my friend's birthday and they even came out with her own dessert with happy birthday written on the plate with chocolate sauce. They came out singing with instruments and helped us to celebrate! It was a great night and I enjoyed everything about it. I will definitely be back!

I can't believe I haven't written a review about Rubamba yet! I've been stopping here for a few…read moreyears and they've always been consistent with the Arepas. I like to switch up the type of arepa that I get and this time decided on the orange Cuban, which came with rice and sweet plantains. I almost wanted to lick my plate. It was so delicious!! Their tacos are pretty popular too, and some of the arepas are big enough to split. There are a couple of tables inside, but I know most people opt for a takeout.

Nachos: I third-wheeled to Rubamba with my couple-friend, and we got seated next to two more…read morecouples on a double date. All of a sudden I was ninth-wheeling. I felt like a lab rat mid-experiment, having a sudden moment of clarity that this fun maze might actually be a death trap. The older gay men beside me glanced at my empty seat before smiling at me with mischievous curiosity. They led with kindness and asked "how are those nachos?", but I knew they meant "why don't you have a date". When I answered with explicit detail about the flavor composition of the nachos and they burst into laughter, I watched the "ah, that's why" land on their faces in real time. Fair. A girl's gotta get her satisfaction somewhere, and in that moment, it had been from the even cheese distribution. The nachos were quite nice, actually. Could've used a bit more beans. And a lot more heat. Incidentally, and according to the four gay wise men, so could my love life. All else: a familiar redhead walked past the window and I said, "I know that redhead from somewhere", turns out it was Conan O'Brien. Second-tier celebrity sighting of the night. First tier was our waiter, sweeping the floor with a little rhythm in the hips. I love when people are so caught up in their own world that the noise fades out. It made me smile.

Food presentation and decor was very well done. There is parking by the train station across the street that is not too far of a walk. It was pretty empty on a Wednesday night but staff was very attentive. They also have some TVs over the bar for watching sports which is nice too, as well as a nicer dining room for events. It was very cute and I would definitely return to try more things!

One area is thoughtfully designed to resemble your grandmother's living room from years ago, creating a warm, nostalgic feeling that brings back so many memories. And then there's the food--the highlight of the experience. Some of the best Spanish cuisine I've had in a long time. Their empanada selection is excellent, and the menu features a variety of authentic Spanish favorites. The drink menu is equally impressive, offering unique options at very reasonable prices. I only wish we had taken photos of our meals, but honestly, that speaks for itself as we were too busy enjoying every bite. If you're looking for great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a memorable dining experience, this spot is definitely worth a visit.
