We had a good experience at Limón. The staff was friendly and helpful, and with a reservation for our group of four, we were seated right away. We chose the outdoor seating, which was comfortable and a bit quieter than inside.

The food was tasty, though a little on the pricey side. My favorites were the Lomo Saltado and the Anticuchos de Pollo. Overall, we all enjoyed our meal and had a nice time at Limón.

We had lovely dinner at Limon. The restaurant was super busy, however the table outside was nice alternative. Delicious food, great service (good recommendation by the waitress).

This was our first time here. We came for lunch. The food was excellent and came out very fast. The decor is lovely ( seating is a bit tight in some areas).

We got a ceviche and a dish. Both were very flavorful and well cooked. Good portions for the price as well. Beer was good, but the slushie was not - it had coconut which was not mentioned in the description.

Only downside was that they seemed to be a bit understaffed as it appeared that one waiter was taking care of the majority of the restaurant. It took a long time to get our check at the end of the meal.

Surprisingly tasty food! The rotisserie chicken with amarillo sauce is excellent. The dorado fish is remarkably good.

The food is delicious! We ordered the scallop cevice, half a chicken, whole fried fish and the lengua. All are very good and the server was attentive, helpful and friendly. We also got the mango panna cotta and it did not disappoint. We went at about 8pm on a Saturday evening with no reservation and was seated right away. Parking was easy, have to walk a block or so. We were visiting the area and will return when we visit again.

SUUUUUCH a great restaurant. So happy we decided to give this place a shot. Had the chicken skewers and picante de mariscos. Both were INCREDIBLE. The rice was cooked perfectly. Service was super sweet. The only thing that was difficult about this place was how jampacked it was, with everyone sitting close to each other. We could not hear each other in our party when talking; definitely almost yelling to be understood. I’d definitely go back, but perhaps sit outside. Parking is just around the corner in a structure.

This is my favorite place now!
The food is amazing!
The ceviche(s) are highly recommended. As well as the rotisserie chicken and the beef!
The chicken dishes have this amazing sauce on the side. The beef dishes are juicy and have a complex flavor which is hard to describe. You have to taste it! The cocktail bar is excellent - I recommend the old fashioned; it has this wonderful smokey aftertaste which is hard to achieve unless you are a pro. On the top, the vibe and the service is great. This is my favorite restaurant now!

The restaurant is very cute and fancy,great for pictures! The rice was a 10/10, the potatoes super fresh, and I loved the ají amarillo just like in Peru. However, the chicken wasn’t as juicy or well-marinated as I expected; the seasoning was mostly on the outside and not inside the meat. I’ve been to Peru many times, and pollo a la brasa should be marinated ahead so the flavor really penetrates. Also, I spoke Spanish at the entrance, but the hostess replied in English 🥲. Overall still a nice place to try, but I hoped for more authentic chicken flavor.

1st time.
This place was hopping when we arrived. So much that the hostess took about 5 minutes to address us. We expect there may be a i'll wait for seating, but we were seated immediately.
The description of the meals on the menu were very accurate and the food was absolutely amazing and full of flavor. Our server ( i believe his name was Salvatore), was very informative and as attentive as he could be with all the tables he was attending to and all the different issues they were having with children.
We will definitely be returning to Limon, hopefully to have the same server. On a Friday, Saturday or Sunday night.
We sat outside where it was a little brisk when the wind kicked up, but we were ready for it.
