Peruvian virgins!
Crazy story. Hungry monster and I were originally looking for a good steak spot to have lunch at. Pulled into the Chevron on Decature and Meadows lane to get some drinks and search the World Wide Yelp and was not feeling anything. Mind you , I was staring at this weird looking Lima sign out in the background, thinking WTH is that? Lima? Limon? Was thinking, oh just another Mexican restaurant.
NOPE! When I looked them up on YELP, and did not recognize the majority of the dishes, Lima we went.
Was greeted with a warm welcome as soon as we walked in. The feeling we got was a very warm home like sensation. The smell, oh the smell was alluring. Being this was our first time, we asked our server for any recommendations. His first question was, seafood or meet? Seeing as we were out for steak, we told him meat. Right there he went right to the steak dishes. Love him already. Gave us several choices and we opted for 2 steak dishes.
What ordered:
Churrasco a lo Pobre
-Grilled NY steak with plantains, egg, rice on a bed of fries
Tallarin Verde
-Peruvian style pasta in a pesto sauce with your choice of steak or chicken.
Let me just say, I will never eat Mexican again. OK that's a bit drastic. BUT, if Crack was a seasoning Boi. I'm sure love was used seeing as hyped up customers running around thanking the cooks for a great dish would be a wee bit distracting to the owners. Point being, the flavour of the food was delicious! I chose for my steak to be rare and I swear I heard it moo. Kidding kidding. Just know they will do it right. If not, they will correct it till your satisfied. There was a light seasoning on both rice and fries that made the layers of spice come together. The pasta? Imagine taking thin flat spaghetti noodles, smoked in cheese, served with beef strips and a braised sauce. Yes, read that last sentence again. Good lawd my pallet went mad! Seved with the NY steak was a choice of 2 dipping sauces. LET ME TELL YOU!! Whatever the green sauce was, went perfect with everything I ate.
But enough with the hype. Come in and try for yourself. Enjoy the food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Don't forget extra green sauce.
We will definitely be back for our round of seafood!
