Limo Peruvian Eatery

We recently celebrated my wife’s birthday at Limo Peruvian Restaurant with a group of 17 friends, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the staff was incredibly attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly. They handled our large group with ease and genuine hospitality, which really made the night special. The food? Absolutely delicious — and honestly, far more than we anticipated. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and left us wanting to try more. On top of that, the pricing was shockingly reasonable. With drinks included for all of us, our total came to under $1,000 — super affordable for a group our size! We had a wonderful time celebrating, laughing, and enjoying amazing food in a vibrant setting. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend Limo Peruvian Restaurant for any special occasion or just a fantastic meal out!

Limo Peruvian Eatery is incredible. Went there last night, and everything was delicious. The Chicharrón Acevichado (pork belly) was so full of flavor and texture. The empanadas had a perfectly flaky crust. Tallarines Verdes is one of the best bites of food I've ever had. The noddles with pesto along with tender and juicy churrasco hit every single time my fork went to my mouth. And the Tentación de Lúcuma (cheesecake) was so unique. The lucuma gave the cheesecake a deep, rich flavor, and the crunchy meringue added the texture that made it a perfect dessert. If you haven't been to Limo, GO!

This place was great! The server was very helpful and even the owner/ manager came out. They have several gluten-free options but may need to update their menu the server said. We had paella which was fantastic! Sat outside with a nice breeze on the patio.

Just finished lunch here. I don't have Peruvian food often, but I've loved it every time. This place was even better. Started with the wings and empanadas which were both amazing. Wings were tender and flavorful. Empanadas were hot and flaky. For our mains, my friend had the Lomo Saltado with beef and I opted for the scallops because I knew I couldn't take anything to go. We were so excited the whole meal at how delicious everything was. Can't wait to go back to try dessert! Kelly was a great server, patient and gave great suggestions, answered all of our questions. Thank you!!!

This is some of the best Peruvian food I’ve ever had and that’s saying a lot, considering the fact that I actually live in America’s largest Peruvian community in New Jersey. So I was pleasantly surprised to find such authentic high-quality Peruvian cuisine in Nashville. This food is definitely a bit pricey, but worth every penny for its elevated quality and presentation. Everything from the appetizers and Chicha drink to the dessert was perfect. Service was fantastic and the establishment was clean and well designed. I also found the neighborhood to be quite charming and full of character as well. I highly recommend anything at this restaurant. I don’t believe you can go wrong. Everything taste delicious! 😋

We found this Peruvian spot through Instagram and had been meaning to check it out. Finally made it there on a Saturday evening. The place was buzzing but we got seated right away. It’s a small, cozy space with just the right amount of room between tables—felt comfortable and not cramped. Drinks to start: • Maracuyá – A non-alcoholic passion fruit cocktail that totally hit the spot. Refreshing and just the right balance of sweet and tart—perfect for a warm evening. • Muchacho – A light Mexican lager with a crisp finish. Super easy to drink and exactly the kind of beer I enjoy. For food: • Twice-fried pork belly – This dish was incredible. The pork belly had a nice crispy outside and a tender inside—maybe a touch dry from being twice-fried, but the dipping sauce brought it all back to life. The giant corn kernels added a sweet touch that played well with the slightly spicy sauce. Toss in some crunchy peanuts, plantain chips, and sharp red onions, and every bite had something new going on. So flavorful and well put together. • Linguine with steak – The steak was cooked medium-rare just as we asked—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The linguine was cheesy and had a nice chew to it. A bit on the salty side, but still delicious. All in all, we had an awesome experience. Everything we tried was flavorful and unique. Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re into bold, exotic flavors or just want to try something different from the usual. Peru knows what it’s doing!

This was the most incredible meal I’ve had in Nashville. The food and the drinks were so good. I highly recommend the pork belly and the tuna tiradito! It was also some of the best service we have had. Our server Eunice took the time to go through the menu with us and made recommendations. She was very helpful and added to the great experience.

Awesome experience. Gourmet Peruvian food. Definitely a must stop in Nashville. Service was great, our waiter Tristan was kind and attentive about the food, he knew the menu and was enthusiastic about the dishes he recommended.

In a few words: you need to visit Limo! This has been by far the best and most authentic Peruvian place in town. Parking - hard to find around so plan ahead to spend a few minutes driving around. We didn't make a reservation but it was just 3 of us. The host immediately acknowledged us and made us feel welcome. Service was also the best, they offer appetizers and suggestions. We had the platter and if this is your first time trying Peruvian food this is perfect options. You can try small portions of several of their staple plates. Price is very reasonable for the portion size and most importable the taste. I will definitely be back.

The ceviche is amazing! I also recommend the Tallarines Verdes. The service was good and is a great place for a date or group dinner. We went on a Friday night for dinner and it was pretty busy but easy enough to have a conversation. This is a great place to try out and great for any taste preference as they have something for everyone.

I think it's a rare thing to find a restaurant that lives up to the hype it gets online. The statement applies even more-so to our current Nashville food scene where every internet influencer/foodie is dying to tell you about the must visit hidden gem that is the most mediocre over priced management group fare you'll ever have the dishonor of paying for. Limo is an exception. They put in the work as a beloved food truck in the area, opened a brick & mortar last year, & were recognized as one of the best new restaurants for their effort. What you get here is delicious & appropriately portioned food in a no frills environment that has zero pretentiousness to it. Service is great, drinks are affordable, food is crave worthy. It's all you could ask for. Came here on a cold icy Saturday with a party of 4. We did not feel rushed at any point to get up & leave even when were finished & talking, which I appreciate when it's not really busy & the table has spent several hundred dollars on dinner. I tried the Limo Saltado with beef, veal heart skewers, & both of the empanadas choices. Everything was great to exceptional. The empanadas were some of the best I've had anywhere outside of South America. The veal heart skewers should NOT be missed & the saltado leftovers were even better for lunch the next day. Pisco sour was as good as the only one I've ever had before which was in Santiago at the airport. I can't wait to come back & try some different dishes. Limo deserves your business. Stop sharing the same mediocre management group owned businesses & give your money to them & like 5-7 other locally operated places that are actually good!

Come early so you can get a seat in this cozy, flavorful spot! I came with my partner at around 5pm on a Saturday and was able to be seated at the bar. If you want table seating definitely will be needing a reservation. We ordered the house special for our main and had to try their take on the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The house special was amazing! With loads of roasted potatoes, onions, meat and rice it was so savory and warming for a cold night outside. The sandwich was massive and flavorful. We added on the yuca fries for an additional $4 and they were average, but the sauces on the side were great dips and improved their overall taste. The bartender was super friendly and mixing up good looking pico sours. Will definitely come back to have a drink and more on the menu!

Great ceviche, best outside if Peru and Miami. Don't miss the sauces, best outside sure to sample them all. They hold little heat but so delicious. We had the Causa (fancy chicken salad) and it was delicious. The tamale also yummy. I love leche de Tigre and their micro is fabulous. Don't miss this little slice of Peruvian heaven in East Nashville

The lomo saltado was absolutely delicious. It was packed with so much flavor and I honestly couldn't put the fork down! The potatoes/veggies were cooked to perfection and the broth that the meat sits in pairs so well with the rice. The Picarones were fried to perfection and the fruit syrup they come with was very tasty. Service was super speedy and I couldn't have been more pleased. Will definitely be telling everyone about this place!

Everything about our experience here was amazing. Food was excellent, service was great, atmosphere was busy but not loud. EVERYTHING we ordered was a 10!! Highly recommend! Authentic Peruvian food with an upscale feel. I only have pictures of some of our food but also not pictured that we LOVED were the empanadas and the pork belly ceviche. Will definitely be back! Easily found parking too!

Wowow what a place!! It's relatively new, but I can't believe I've never been before the ceviche was incredible! I also got the lomo sandwich which was delicious. Service was friendly and quick, despite us coming in near to close. You can find free street parking along the block. The ambiance inside is modern with decor paying homage to Peruvian culture.

Limo is a hidden gem in East Nashville with very authentic Peruvian food! Every bite of food was very flavorful and detailed. The staff are so incredible, gave good recommendations, and always checked on us to make sure we were having a great experience. Great appetizers and portions are great to share. You must get the Chicharrones appetizer! It was so tasty and everything about the dish was good. The main meat is bite-sized twice fried pork belly with fried plantain chips and fresh avocado to dip. Also I recommend the ceviche - it was amazing, very fresh, and had lots of seafood. They had different types but we stuck with Limo's Classic. For the entree, I got the Tallarines Verdes and it was pesto linguini with steak churrasco and chimichurri sauce. I was intrigued how the pesto would be in a Peruvian dish and I absolutely loved it. The steak was cooked perfectly with lots of flavor and went well with the pesto linguini. Of course, I had to get the pisco sour for my drink and it was refreshing.

Got the fried pork belly sandwich from the street food menu and it was fantastic. Overall menu is very meat heavy with a few vegetarian and fish options. Dining room is small but cozy and very open. Service was great throughout our dinner. Parking is available street side all around the area.

Ok, we are from out of town and took an Uber here based on a recommendation from a premier league mornings newly- made friend/ local. I'm Peruvian, so the bar is always high. This place is legit. Run there. Experience it all. Pro tip: stick to the traditional ceviche, big enough to split between two. Mains are BIG, bring friends and sample away.

This award-winning Peruvian restaurant as Best New Restaurant in Nashville is a must-visit. The lomo saltado, ceviches, and arroz chaufa are exceptional, bursting with authentic flavors. Each dish is a delight, making it easy to see why it won Best New Restaurant. Highly recommended! Thank Chef Marcio Florez.

An excellent addition to the Fatherland district! The food was absolutely amazing. Delicious is an understatement. The amount of care they put into flavors and presentation is above and beyond. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable with recommendations and information on all the dishes. Cannot wait to come back often to try the whole menu. Run, don't walk to this great culinary experience!

I had the Aji de gallina and it was delicious and so creamy. We also had a tamale as an appetizer which was perfect. I can't wait to go back and try one of the ceviche options. This restaurant will definitely be on my rotation from now on!

Delicious Peruvian food. I went with friends for my birthday and it was a great time. Servers are super knowledgeable and nice. The vibe is cute with nice decor. The food was amazing. Portions are awesome. Prices are expensive but on par with all the neighboring restaurants. Also totally worth the price. I can't wait to come back.

Had been seeing great reviews about this place in East Nash, so was excited to try it out! Around dinner time on a Saturday, there was about a 10-20 minute wait for a pretty packed restaurant, and service was understandably slower by consequence. The servers brought over some complementary drink/juice samples while we were waiting, which was very nice of them. We ordered lomo saltado and arroz con mariscos, which both were main dishes that were generous portion sizes. Both were on the saltier and pricer side, but overall tasty.

Loved it!!! If only I had more room in my stomach for more food. I came by for a quick lunch! Lowkey wishing for a lunch special!

Legit Peruvian food. They have all the classics minus the cuy . Place was clean service was prompt.

Fantastic food! Felt very authentic and I was overly impressed with the portion sizes! Come hungry!

Food is authentic, portions are big! We enjoyed the ceviche, ají de gallina and taillarines verdes

I ate here for the first time and was blown away by the elevated authentic Peruvian dishes featured here. If you've never tried Peruvian cuisine, you will see why it's the world's most popular cuisine and if you've been to Peru, you will think you've stepped foot in one of the finest Peruvian establishments imaginable. If you are lucky enough to live in Nashville, you need to put this place at the top of the list for neighborhood establishments. Nashvegas is lucky to have such a place.

By far the best & most authentic Peruvian food I've had in the states. I would give more than 5 stars if possible. A lot of Peruvian restaurants in the states are a Latin mix, which is not as authentic as This TRUE PERUVIAN RESTAURANT. Hands down the most authentic taste and true to Peruvian culture. Can't wait to be back! Our bartender Patrick took wonderful care of us 1) Limo classic ceviche 2) Peruvian pork tamale 3) Chicha Pisco Sour

We came upon this place for lunch when a nearby establishment we intended to go to was not yet open . We loved it . Family owned . Food was excellent. Would come again without hesitation .

Decided to try this new restaurant after seeing Nashville Eatery'a IG post last night. The food was amazing! And the service is wonderful. Almost all of the servers came to check on us to make sure we're happy with the food. The side plantains were cooked perfectly, not mushy & not too sweet. Paella, IMO, tastes better than the paella I just had a couple of weeks ago at the Columbia restaurant. We will definitely be back!

Great food, drinks and location in East Nashville. I have lived in E Nash for 2 years, but I hadn't tried this great place, since they originally started without a bar. . Now that I know it's a full service restaurant, here y'all is my take. High end food, Peruvian or not. I tried the EMPANADAS DUO- AJI DE GALLINA; delicious, and have tried a lot of empanadas. I love grilled octopus, and this one was on the top of my experiences. The drinks are eclectic derivations of classic Peruvian beverages with a good beer and American choices. The bartender, Kelly, was top notch for service and menu help. I spoke with one of the owners, Cynthia, multiple occasions and she was like family (BTW-I did not speak with the other owner, as the Chef was pretty busy), she loves the restaurant and clients so much. Since it's not on the main drag of E Nash there is plentiful free parking. Give this place a try!

This place was amazing . The service and the food was like 10 starts . We love it so much . The most authentic Peruvian food we ever tried . We also felt very welcomed from the owners and staff.

I'm always knocked off my feet by the service kindness, quality, and overall heavenly creations in this place.

The best Peruvian food in all of Nashville!! Highly recommend. 10/10 the ceviche was absolutely perfect!

I'm from Ecuador and was so excited to see Peruvian food in Nashville because it's so similar to Ecuadorian food. I came here with high hopes but the food and service absolutely blew my expectations. We had ceviche and lomo saltado and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. The portions are generous! And the quality of the food is superior and worth the price. I will be coming back for the salchipapa!!!

We went for lunch on a Friday around 12. The service was very friendly but a little slow, it seemed like they could've used another person. It took about 30 minutes for our food to come out but it was delicious. I got a noodle dish with the saltado beef, it was so good and a good sized portion. We also got a side of plantains that were also tasty. Its by the shops on Fatherland in East Nashville. The space isn't huge but plenty of seating for lunch. A nice place to meet friends, I would come back to try their other dishes! We were seated by the door under the AC and it was pretty cold so I would recommend bringing a sweater if you get cold easily.

Had a first meal at Limo on a busy Saturday night. The place is bustling and fun and decidedly unpretentious as is typical for Peruvian restaurants, where the presence of large families of all ages and the TV tuned to a football match are usually signs that the food is authentic and very good. We know Peruvian food and the quality and tastiness of the dishes was excellent. Had the traditional seafood ceviche, Chicken Limo Saltado and the Peruvian version of seafood paella; dessert of shortbread cookies, vanilla ice cream and caramel; all are recommended. We'll be back to further explore the extensive menu!

The food is AMAZING! I was in town for work from Houston and dinner here made my trip. I ordered Arroz con Mariscos for my entree along with Chicha Morada and tried the Picarones for dessert. Everyone at the restaurant was very welcoming and the service was excellent. There are many options in Nashville, but this will be at the top of my list when I return.

Great experience! The servers were knowledgeable and helpful and the food is the best Peruvian food I've had (better than on my travels to Chile). Everything was prepared with care (visually stunning) and the best ingredients. Definitely try this place out! I recommend taking friends and share several different apps and entrees.... Portions are large. Also seems like it would be family friendly...

Wow! I can say a lot or I can just say that Limo is doing it 100% right! So happy I got a chance to come eat here. It was their grand opening day at this brick and mortar location so the ambiance was amazing. Very lively and fun. The food aka the star of the show was phenomenal. Everything we had was so good. Start off with one of their drinks! I got passion fruit. The ceviche was such a perfect portion for the price, between my friend and I we still didn't finish it! It was so fresh, acidic, and hearty. Pun intended as I move to the anticuchos, soooo tender, with perfectly seasoned potatoes ! The empanadas were delicious, especially with the sauce, and our amazing server informed us they had won an award for it last year! To end off the night we had a delicious sundae that had fruit on top with delicious Caramel and cookies. Check them out, you won't regret it. Ask for John and tell him I sent you!

Came here for an early dinner on a Saturday night and was blown away! First time having Peruvian food, and I will definitely be returning. Both the food and service were incredible. My server brought out samples of their house made juices, which were both delicious. The Anticuchos were tender and grilled perfectly, crispy potatoes and choclo, were great, and the huacatay sauce was a delicious complement. Tallarines Verdes is by far one of the best pasta dishes I have had. Very fresh and vibrant. Check this place out!!

Legit Peruvian spot with a laid back local vibe near the 5 points area. It was our first time here so we went with our standard favorites, pisco sour cocktail, fish ceviche and lomo saltado with steak. All were great, but the Lomo Saltado really stood out as special. The steak was so tender and the sauce was.. wow! I love that they have potato's in the sauce instead of French fries. We ate all the steak but had the potato's and sauce as leftovers.. even better the next day. Staff was nice, our server was new and learning but really friendly.

My husband was born in Peru, so we are always on the lookout for new Peruvian restaurants. There's only 2 problems with that. First, there are usually few options if you don't eat chicken, and secondly (and perhaps most importantly to me), the service almost always sucks. Tipping is really not a thing in Peru except in larger cities, so adequate service to them is taking your order and delivering food. Limo sets these standards on their head. The atmosphere is simple but clean. Our party of 3 was lucky enough to be in a little alcove by a window that had funky wallpaper on one wall. The service was fabulous, and I think everyone working there came by to say hello and ask if we were enjoying our meal, including the chef. The menu has many delicious offerings, and we probably ordered half of the items! My personal favorites were the Pulpo Anticuchero and the Causa y Ceviche. My husband enjoyed his favorite dishes - beef heart & Ceviche. We didn't really have room, but couldn't resist ordering Picarones - delicious house made fried sweet potato donuts. The entire experience was really quite enjoyable, and we will absolutely return to Limo the next time we are in Nashville.

Stopped by for lunch yesterday. A great all around experience, both food and service. Every dish we tried was carefully prepared and full of flavor with special mention for the sauce in the lomo saltado. I can see why they call it their house specialty. We will definitely be back to further explore the menu.

We went for a late lunch. They had a great ambience and good amount of vegetarian dishes on their menu. Their service was really nice and they took care of our food choices. We ordered the Yucan fries, Vegan Ceviche and Chalufa. All of them tasted really nice.

Happened to be on this side of town around and dinner and was so glad we were! This food was fantastic! Every bite was intentional and flavorful. I loved that they had a Peruvian style meat-and-three plate that allowed you to try some signature dishes. Our server was also so friendly & helpful & passionate about the food. My only take back was the aesthetic didn't quite match the quality of the food and wait staff. I am hoping they will jazz up the space a little bit.

The food is delicious, and good quality! Service is amazing. And ambiance was very nice. I'll eat here on a regular basis.

Lovely dining experience. The atmosphere is welcoming , the variety of offerings, the quality of freshly prepared food is delicious. My server Eunice was genuinely attentive & pleasantly professional. Give ' em a try !

What to say... Well, moving from California to East Tennessee was a bit of a shock as finding certain foods can be difficult. Finding good peruvian is almost impossible. Driving to Middle Tennessee Nashville, we came across Limo. Just wow. Great service, great food, and they have Inca Cola (IYKYK) We ordered the empenadas, anticuchos, and Papa a la huancaina. True Peruvian food. Don't hesitate to try them. Thank you so much for a taste of home.

I love to welcome new eateries to the neighborhood! The food here was so authentic and delicious - my husband and I had the ceviche, the tallarines, and the lomo saltado. It was very evident that the kitchen staff put a ton of effort into the taste and presentation of all the dishes. As others have said, we don't have many Peruvian eateries in Nashville, and I am so ecstatic to have one close by. We hope the Limo will be here for many more years to come! P.s. I normally don't leave reviews, but someone commented here that all these reviews were AI generated. Seriously? How big of a BOZO do you have to be to write something like that to yelp?

Wonderful spot in East Nashville! My friend and I tried Limo for the first time last night and we will certainly be back. Great food and kind staff! 12/10!

This place never fails me. I have only eaten there twice, but the food has always been amazing. The service during my second visit was ok. I believe I had a new waiter because he was all over the place lol. However, the rest of the staff took care of me when needed. Don't ask me what I had in the picture because I cannot remember off the top of my head lol. All I know is that I will order it again! The chicken, sauce, and the random egg were . This is place is now designated as the, "Justin Treat Yo' Self" spot!! Whenever I need to treat myself to some good food, I know to make my way to Lima!

This place was amazing, authentic and delicious Peruvian classics, impeccable service, and a great vibe in general. I hope it sticks around for a long time because I will be back often!

Go! This place is so good. High quality, delicious, friendly. We drive almost 2 hrs to get here. Do yourself a favor and add this place to your list to try. I look forward to the next meal!

Was just in there this weekend great food and service, coming from LA I'm so glad Nashville is getting more restaurants like this one. I'll be back.
