The prices are a little insane for Tampa. I just moved from NYC, and the Lomo Saltado in a comparable restaurant in Manhattan is about $16-$18. While here is $21. I was really taken aback.. I still have it a chance and was underwhelmed. The food is okay, the portions aren't the greatest, the ceviche was tiny, and the lomo saltado was mostly fries and rice. I will not be coming back, not until at least they adjust their prices. Im still shocked.

My wife and I were trying to for almost two years to find a place like Lima since we've moved to Tampa from Miami and this place is the only one in the New Tampa area that gives us the same exact feel. It's great and we come back often to enjoy the great food. There is only one server who is always nice and welcoming, Adriana is her name. The other one just doesn't fit the restaurant and seems to need more hands on training. Overall we enjoy the delicious authentic food and plan on coming back.

Wonderful authentic Peruvian food! I've been searching for a high quality Peruvian restaurant in the Tampa area and have found it at Lima Restaurant. The food here is absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is calming, relaxing, and the service is excellent and extremely attentive. Great people to enjoy an authentic Peruvian meal. Definitely a place to stop by, A++++ rating!!

Such a great restaurant! A friend wanted Peruvian food and found this place on google and they were hands down delicious. All the food was fresh and so flavorful! Will definitely come back and try more things thank you so much for great food and hospitality.

Tonight was our first visit, but Lima will definitely be on our restaurant list. We had ceviche de mariscos and carne fried rice. They were both fantastic. The ceviche was one of the best we've ever had. The fried rice was better than most Asian fried rice we've had. They have a limited menu, but the food is all great.

Great service with a smile at Lima in New Tampa. I was excited to have a Peruvian place in this area. My husband ordered the half chicken along with two sides which he chose tostones and yuca. He said everything was tasty. He didn't even let me taste it so I guess he liked it. I ordered an order of ceviche and a Lomo saltado sandwich with yuca. I was impressed by both. Our server was exceptional. Super sweet and helpful. So glad we have a Peruvian option in the area. Will be back sometime to try their parihuela(seafood soup), and have my husband try their Lomo Saltado. It was so good and even as a sandwich version.

The food and service was excellent. One of the better Peruvian restaurants. If this was closer, we’d be regulars. El arroz chufa and papa a la huancaina were delicious.

Wonderful food and service! Clean eating area and restrooms. Gotta try the Lomo plate and the Fish Ceviche. Owners very pleasant and attentive to customers.

Really enjoyed our take out from here. The lomo steak dish was superb. The chicken was good, and we were delighted by the size of the salad and yuca fry sides. As many reviews have said, it was a little pricy, but it was delicious.

I was excited that a new Peruvian restaurant was coming to New Tampa. Wanting to support small businesses, I didn't hesitate to try this new spot. The rotisserie chicken was really good and the sauces bring it to another level. Very tasty! The rice and beans weren't my favorite but next time I'll just get fries and would be perfect meal.
This is an average restaurant regarding the quality of their food, price is really high for the food I haven't tried a so bad ceviche is just fish with lime no salt no nothing you can do this at home rest is undercook. Sorry but not for another day I won't recommend.

Just visited this restaurant hoping for a really good meal, first of all how can you not have unsweetened tea, second for the price of the meals plastic cutlery really?? A lunch for 2 and a child $70 and we left hungry. Ceviches didn't have much taste. Really overpriced.

This is not your supermarket rotisserie chicken! Best chicken I had in a while. The seasoning is on point. Flavorful skin and juicy inside. Two sides (Fried yuca and pico de Gallo) were fresh and tasty and in large portions. $14 for a half chicken meal seems to be a little bit pricy at first. But after the meal I was convinced it is well worth it. Curious to try more items on the menu!

Tried it for the first time tonight and all I can say is this is yum and it's the best Peruvian I've had in Tampa. Ordering was fast and take out was easy. I will be returning soon.
