"Lima Criolla isn’t trying to reinvent Peruvian food—they’re making it the way your friend’s grandmother would if she had a commercial kitchen and no patience for tiny shared plates. Start with ceviche for the table, then work your way through homey classics like savory skewers of grilled beef heart, sweet and crispy fried plantains, and a few excellent creamy seafood chowders. This is comfort food at its best. With easy parking and friendly service, every visit inspires one thought: “Why don’t we come here more often?”" - nicolai mccrary, clara wang
"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.

"Then there’s the Peruvian restaurant Lima Criolla with a wider ceviche menu spanning ceviche mixto with a bunch of fish and seafood to the tiradito, a Japanese-Peruvian take made with tilapia and corn." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Austin is rich with international flavor, and what better way to showcase that to your out-of-town visitors than by ordering in some Peruvian dishes? Lima Criolla has stolen our hearts with its oversized shareable appetizers like ceviche mixto and papa rellena (ground beef encased in deep-fried mashed potato) and authentic dishes like lomo saltado limeno, perfectly seasoned and sauteed steak served with french fries and garlic rice. Order several entree options to share and watch your guests be mega-impressed." - Vox Creative
