Lima

ed well, red onions didn't have a strong taste but they added green onion and they didn't cook it long enough or rinse them before cooking because the taste from the green onion is too strong and doesn't blend well with the rest of the dish. I recommend ordering the Lomo without the green onion. First Peruvian restaurant I've been to that there isn't any art in the wall regarding Peru. If I just walked in I wouldn't have known what kind of food they serve. There was good salsa music playing but could barely hear the music in the quiet restaurant. I've been to plenty Peruvian restaurants in the Bay Area but this may be at the bottom of my list. Would not recommend due to poor service, poor communication, food with missing ingredients or added ingredients that to not make the dish stronger. Plenty of other Peruvian restaurants in concord that take care of their customers. Save your money because in total this meal cost us $150 and I was shocked because I threw away my food once we left.

We've made South American cuisine part of our regular repertoire lately, at least a couple times a month. Lima is a bit out of our normal area but we saw it once and read the reviews, and decided to make the trek for a birthday dinner. We're very glad we did. It is one of the better Peruvian restaurants we've been to, certainly #1 in the Bay Area. We had the empanada sampler, aguadito soup, seafood platter, poor man's steak, and a couple cocktails. Everything was a standout. Good portions and excellent flavor and presentation. I'm usually ambivalent about empanadas. Usually they are too much dry pastry dough, too little filling- even at good restaurants. But these were really good and not too doughy/dry at all. Especially the cheese and beef empanadas. They were so good that we ordered extra to take home. We also ordered another serving of the aguadito soup to take home. Our only complaint is this take home serving was about half the size of what we shared in the restaurant, so we had to have small portions to share it. But the taste was excellent last night and today. My spicy margarita was just the right levels of spicy, sweet, and tart. They gave my wife a couple shortbread cookies with what I think was dulce de leche between them for a birthday gift. That was so yummy. We found ourselves wanting to try other dishes as we saw them delivered to other tables. So even though this is a 45 minute drive for us, we are for sure coming back for more. Oh and one of the things we have learned to like with South American food is fried plantains. Some restaurants don't serve them, so we always check before going. Lima did have them- they came with the steak and it was enough to share. Highly recommended.

We had a great night on our dinner date. I highly recommend this spot if you are in the mood for Peruvian food. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. She brought out two samples of wine for me to try and waited until I made my decision. I appreciated this. I would recommend if it’s your first time, the Empanada Sampler of all 4. I would have naturally leaned towards the Cheese with Avocado sauce or the Vegetarian but to my surprise loved the Beef with Rocoto Aioli best. For dinner I had the Organic Quinoa Chopped Salad with chicken. It has romaine, radish, green beans, tomatoes, onions, corn, cilantro, avocado, lime vinaigrette and I loved it! I will be back just for this salad. The flavors were light and the chicken was perfect. It didn’t feel like too much which left room for dessert. My partner had the Shredded Chicken Stew, with slow cooked chicken breast simmered in a mild yellow pepper sauce, with hard boiled egg, Peruvian olive, walnuts and parmesan cheese, served with rice. He liked it and felt it was an authentic dish but would probably try something different next time. Dessert, the bread pudding was wonderful. Pineapple and coconut served with bourbon caramel sauce and whipped cream. If you enjoy these flavors I would recommend this! We will definitely be back!

We had our family gathering here for dinner and everything was delicious! From presentation to taste - quite an experience for your taste buds. Lima beats all other Peruvian restaurants in our book!

This was our second time having dinner here. I can't say more positive things about this place. I had duck confit last time. This time I had the spicy fish stew. Both were absolutely incredible. Dinner was early enough to catch the end of happy hour which sliders and booze at a discount. Overall service is great and food was excellent. Gotta try the donuts(I forgot what they were called) Can't wait to go back. Outdoor seating is great for people watching

The Ceviche had a very good blend of flavors a day was very delicious. The chicken empanadas weren't that great. The outer breading was nice and flaky but the chicken tasted like boiled chicken that was shreaded then stuffed into the breading. It really didn't have any spice or other flavor that stood out. Unfortunately that wasn't that good at all.

Our first Peruvian food and it was all delicious! The place is inviting and nicely decorated. The servers are friendly and is nice that suggested food that we must try. This restaurant did not disappoint at all.

The ceviche is amazing!!! The rest of the food was also delicious. There is an amazing server who works here his name is Butch. I didn't like the other server who was a lady. She has an attitude. Its with coming back. I only tried some dishes but I am sure all their dishes are tasty.
