"While the menu at this Kendall spot is extensive, it’s hard to get past the list of ceviches, which are not only perfectly prepared but also include some really fun creations that showcase regional Peruvian flavors. El Charapa, for example, is a nod to the Peruvian Amazon and is seasoned with sawtooth coriander, a favorite herb from the area. In the middle of the bowl is a traditional Amazonian plantain and pork rind ball called a tacacho (kind of like mofongo), which you can break apart and use to soak up the leche de tigre from the ceviche. This is also one of the best places for affordable ceviche." - carlos c olaechea, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"Peruvians know that the ideal hangover cure is a big plate of spicy ceviche, and Dr. Limon’s medically-themed options are sure to bring you back to life. The Remedio Casero ceviche (which translates to “home remedy”) is a classic Peruvian fish ceviche flecked with bright-tasting ají limo chiles. If you got a little crazy last night and lost some articles of clothing in the process, the Loco Calato (AKA “naked maniac”) ceviche may not restore your dignity (or missing socks), but these tangy fried ceviche balls are the perfect thing to eat when you want something refreshing, crunchy, and deep-fried all in one bite." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"The doctor is in and serving Peruvian fare. Co-owner and chef Carlos Brescia is always conjuring up new spins on the cuisine of his native Peru. Menu highlights include tostones de cangrejo (fried green plantains topped with crab salad), jalea del mar (crispy seafood with cassava and tartar sauce), and Dr. Tokyo (tuna, pineapple, and hot limo pepper inside a fried wonton bowl). Much like a visit to the doctor’s office, expect a wait." - Stacy A. Moya

There are also other imaginative options like a triple-layered parfait ceviche and even deep-fried ceviche croquettes. Additionally, this is one of the best places in Miami for affordable ceviche, all of which come in under $20." - Carlos C Olaechea
"At Dr. Limon guests are being prescribed more than just the basics when it comes to Peruvian dishes. Of course the menu is full of the classics, but patrons can also look forward to trying some of the more experimental dishes like corvina cordon bleu with crispy stuffed corvina, mushroom sauce, and golden potatoes. There’s even a healthy menu with meals under 500 calories for those who are trying to watch what they eat, but are still looking for a Peruvian fix." - Amber Love Bond
