I just had a Birthday party there yesterday. Food was amazing. Byob is great for us 🙂 The service is top notch! The owner cares about your experience there and are very nice. They are super accommodating. Great place to eat anytime and bring a crew to celebrate. My guests will return on their own! Thank you Aji Limon owner and staff.

The food is delicious- ceviche is out of this world. The beef heart – though the idea might creep you out – is super tasty! Everything our party of four ordered was really tasty!

Tried the lomo saltodo here. First timer. I just loved it. Very large portion of food. Can’t complete it. We asked for spicy sauce and they were soooooo good. The only thing they could avoid is to put less french fries in lomo. I almost had 20 prices of fries which I couldn’t eat. Other than that , nice ambience and great food. A lil pricey (20$ per head for a lomo) but it’s good for once a month kinda food.

I honestly wanted to leave a good review. I’m not sure what happened today but nothing was flavorful. This is not normally the quality or service I get when coming here but I was told they have new owners now. The menu changed, the food has changed, and even the drinks have changed. I used to enjoy my passion fruit with my meal and had to settle for a Pepsi since they no longer serve all the juices they use to. I hope the staff gets better trained and the cook steps up the game with flavors. The food looked great but once you try it you notice the lack of flavor. I’m just overall disappointed with today’s visit.

Have gone multiple times and never disappointed. Authentic Peruvian food and its BYOB so that’s always a plus! I’ve gotten everything from Ceviche, Aji de gallina, seco, lomo saltado, bistec a lo pobre. It’s more on the quieter side of ambiance but customer service is always great.

The food was good, had the taste of a home cooked meal. The waitress however seemed like she couldn’t be bothered and was ready to go home. When she finally was able to crack/force a smile I thought dimensions would shatter…

Visited for a late lunch with my girlfriend and her daughter. The atmosphere was very nice and the food was very tasty woth large portions however, the waitress up charged us $1 to $2 on every entree compared to what the menu stated. I also ended up ordering an entree to go and asked for extra side salad and was charged an extra $5 for a mini onion salad. Once the check arrived I noticed the upcharges and the additional $5 for the onion salad also the waitress added on her own “custom” tip of 18% to our bill for her service even though she had to clarify with us what exactly it was that we ordered. Highly doubt if I will revisit this restaurant in the future after I ended up paying an additional $8 to $10 on my bill and the waitress had the nerve to invlude the tip on a small table of 3 people. There are many other Peruvian restaurants within 1 mile of this place.
