Lima Criolla Peruvian Restaurant

"When the weather gets warm, Lima Criolla in Highland is one of our favorite places to go to escape the heat. There’s a large indoor dining room that’s usually bustling with people, and a big patio out front that never gets too busy. But most importantly, the drinks are cheap—pisco and cachaca-based cocktails start at just $6—and there’s a pretty long menu of classic Peruvian ceviches. We like the ceviche mixto, which comes out as a heaping plate of fish, shrimp, mussels, and squid in a lime dressing, with the requisite sweet potatoes, steamed, and crispy corn for both texture and sweetness.  " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
