    They have an indoor and outdoor space. I absolutely love the outdoors. It’s cozy and great for romantic events. I became a massive fan of Peruvian food when my friend introduced me to it in California. I accidentally found this just googling authentic Peruvian restaurants and it popped up. I read the reviews and it seemed ok. I finally decided to come and try it. Let me tell you… it is absolutely frikkin amazing!!!! The green spaghetti (that’s how I compartmentalize the name lol) is to die for. I love pesto, basil and spaghetti and if you mix it all together?!? Im sold!!! TIP: IF YOU LIKE SPICY, ASK FOR THE GREEN SAUCE. I LOVE THE GREEN SAUCE (Aji Verde). You can use Aji Verde with anything! If you’re new to Peruvian food, always start with Lomo Saltado. It’s an easy start. But Peruvian’s 🇵🇪 know how to make food taste delicious.

    My first experience with Peruvian cuisine and it exceeds my expectations. These are the ones I ordered: - Lomo Saltado de Pollo o Carne: The marinade on the strip stirloin was somewhat understated, but it paired excellently with the soy sauce. It was a perfect combination with the fried fries and red onion. The rice had a very slight stickiness, which I personally enjoy. (I didn’t take a photo of the dish.) - Clásico Rincon Limeno: As the name suggests, this is one of the restaurant’s specialties. It consists of a generous serving of fried fish, calamari, and shrimp, centered around seafood marinated in lemon. It’s refreshing. - Ceviche Mixto: A medley of seafood marinated in lime juice, salt, onions, and chili, served with traditional Peruvian choclo and cancha. I’m personally not really into acidic food, so I wasn’t really hyping this one. But a friend of mine who’s Ecuadorian, truly found the ceviche enchanting. - Arroz con Mariscos: I was intrigued to google how it differs from Spanish paella. One key distinction I found is that the Peruvian version uses long-grain rice, while Spanish paella uses short-grain rice. (New knowledge for a newbie!) Overall, I found this dish to be comforting. - Flan: This dessert is a vanilla-flavored custard made from milk and eggs, topped with caramel sauce. It’s sweet, rich, and heavenly mouth-watering. I loved it!

    Have been going to this restaurant for years as it is outstanding. However, just went a few days ago and got a famous Parihuela soup. The soup was not anywhere near the soup I am used to and had grown accustomed to love. It resembled a tomato soup?? unlike the soup from last year. Big disappointment and it makes me wonder whether I will be back.

    You can really tell the quality of a restaurant by trying their most basic dish and rating where it stands. Their Lomo Saltado dish which I substituted with chicken was seasoned to absolute perfection. The rice was steamy and warm and their maduros were the perfect side addition. This restaurant is an excellent reminder of the diversity in foods and flavors that exist in the Latin world.

    Absolutely loved this place! Food, atmosphere, people, service - everything was amazing! Of course, the food deserves a separate discussion and praise! It was one of the best and most enjoyable meals I have ever had! Taste, freshness, aroma, consistency - just wonderful! And this is the first time I've tasted Peruvian food. So impressive! People were super nice and friendly! Highly recommend and I will definitely be back! 👍👍👍

    The restaurant is amazing. The service was prompt and fast. The food is so good. The whole staff is nice and its an atmosphere that is welcoming. The only recommendation I would make is make a reservation because the restaurant is super busy.

  • 5/5 Paula's Family ChildCare _. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff is so friendly and seem to really enjoy working there and with each other. It's such a welcoming place with the smell of bbq chicken and Spanish speakin patrons. If you close your eyes you feel you are in another country. The food was excellent! I decided that to have a full Peruvian experience I would let the waitress pick my plate. Just DELICIOUS. We stayed in the patio which was awesome. I highly recommend it.

  • 2/5 Janet B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I didn't really like it because it didn't have Peruvian flavor. All the food I ordered was lacking in salt, it looks like a Colombian restaurant trying to sell Peruvian food (Original) Realmente no me gusto porque no tenia sazón peruano . Toda la comida que ordene le faltaba sal.Parece un restaurante colombiano tratando de vender comida Peruana

    Great Peruvian food, this was a good find! Ceviche was delicious too, theres parking in front of the restaurant.

  • 5/5 Kinton T. 10 months ago on Google
    Very lively atmosphere. Food came within reasonable time and large portions. Had the lamb stew and mixed seafood platter, both of which were very good. Pricing was about normal for Boston. The service was also good despite being a very busy Sunday evening. They constantly refilled my water whenever it ran low. There was a 20-25 min wait for a table, but within 20 mins they had called saying a table was ready.

    I really enjoy the food from Rincon Limeño. It's very authentic. The last time I visited, I got the mini bandeja. It comes with a thin cut Sirloin steak, chicharron, a sunny side egg over steamed rice, beans, fried plantains, and salad. Everything is served hot and fresh and is very delicious. All entrees come with 2 in-house hot sauces, both very tasty. I also got a coconut alcoholic beverage, very strong, but also tasted very good. I usually get the lomo saltado. It's one of my favorite authentic Peruvian dishes. It's thinly sliced pieces of beef, onions, tomatoes, and French fries over a bed of steamed white rice. You can also get this dish with chicken or a combo of both, all very good. They also used to have a fried steak dish that I used to get all the time I asked the waitress about it last time and she said it's no longer on the menu but I could still order it. Everything here is very good and authentic. I would definitely recommend checking them out.

    The lamb was tender, but small. The tasty bean stew fills you up though. Place is small so there can be a wait. Service was quick. Staff were friendly.

  • 5/5 Jose T. 8 months ago on Google
    It's one of my favorite spots to get ceviche from. I highly recommend them, I also get the Plato montañero that comes with rice, beans, salad, steak, and chicharron. Service is always great they are quick to serve and bring out the food. I recommend calling ahead on weekends for a table since they are a small place that gets full fast. Drinks are good as well. I ordered liquado de papaya papaya milkshake and enjoyed it very much. They do have another location I'm revere, across city hall as well.

  • 4/5 Christian R. 8 months ago on Google
    This area is full of hidden gems. With rents on the rise. Your cuisine must be on point to survive. The place is quaint and service is pretty quick, service and food are speedy. Nothing extraordinary about the service. The food while having an authentic taste, offered some variations to the common. Tried the Tallerin Verde-(Basil Pasta with steak) Flavorful and you could feel the pesto in the sauce. The meat was a little dry and I wasn’t asked the temperature I prefer. The second dish was the Tallerin A la Huancaina with Lomo. New Spin on a classic dish. The lomo meat was more flavorful but too well cooked for my taste.

  • 4/5 Milton C. 3 years ago on Google
    Service has improved tremendously. I am bilingual so it is easy for me. However I noticed they have bilingual staff now. I have been there many, many times, and twice during the pandemic, and I was impressed with the safety protocols they follow, compared to other places I have been to with dining in options. The portions are great. My favorite dish is the ceviche mixto. To share, the clásico offers both fried battered seafood and ceviche as well. Tried the tacu-tacu. The flavor was good, the fish was fresh but it was a bit salty for me. I've had it other times and it wasn't this salty so I take it as a one time thing. Great experience so far.

  • 5/5 Frank V. 3 years ago on Google
    This place has gone above and beyond to stay open. Very clean and the partitions put in place still give it the feel of open dining. As always the food was amazing and this is a true taste of authentic Peruvian cuisine. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good bite to eat in East Boston!

    Best Peruvian food around town, I probably come here once a week to get my Lomo saltado mixto plate. You have to try the Sangria probably one of the best one’s I’ve try in all the restaurants in Boston... friendly environment and really tasty food.

    Ceviche and lomo saltado to go are the best! Is not cheap, but its worth the treat. A lot of the dishes here are great. Those are the dishes that I order to go. I live 1 hour far and they last fresh and tasty.

  • 5/5 Oliver J. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is sooo good here I can not believe their lunch special is only 8 dollars! I was looking for the best peruvian food near Logan aiport and I am pretty sure I found it! Aji de gallina was SPOT ON, curry was perfect, not too spicy not too soft, their home made soup is TOP NOTCH. The potatoes were alright and the rice was good as well. Will definitely come back and highly recommend it!!!
