Editorial Review for Lima's Taste Ceviche Bar – by Kara Zuaro
The Scene
Plum-colored walls peek from between brick exposures and vividly hued paintings, including a bright rendition of "The Last Supper" that seems anything but somber. The effect is as smooth and refreshing as the house sangria--seemingly made for sipping in the restaurant's ornately carved chairs. You'll often catch the affable owner checking the score of the Peruvian soccer match on the flat-screen TV.
The Food
At once exotic and comforting, this is Peruvian home cooking at its best. A large portion of fried yucca, grilled shrimp, and scallops fills the complexly flavorful and undeniably hot seviche caliente, while the lemon-limed-steeped seviche pescado is cool, tender, and delicately spiced. For meat lovers, the lomo saltado--saucy chunks of filet mignon tossed with thick fries--can't be beat. Finish with the sweet and sticky dolce de leche, topped with fresh meringue (served soft, not toasted)--a piece of heaven served in a wine glass.

We visited Limas on a warm friday afternoon and immediately got a glass of sangria..this is not your mammas sangria.. it goes down so smoothly and packs quite a punch..we loved it.. we were just looking for a small dish or two so we did the mussells lima and wow what a great dish. the mussels were plump and the onions lime and othe vegtables were crisp and so tasty.. a great dish for a july afternoon. we then had a shrimp chichoro(sp)..shrimp on a stick which came with a great sauce that we really enjoyed.. service was wonderful as the waitress explained all the dishes to us..we will retune
Pros: greta sangria

I went there with some friends for a cocktail and appetizer and wound up trying so many wonderful dishes. The wine list is impressive, the food authentic and sensational. Nelly, the owner/chef is right there with her customers. Friendly, helpful service, if you don't know what to try she'll recommend something amazing and get you the right wine to go with it. Good ceviche and interesting Peruvian specialties. GO THERE, TRY IT YOU WON"T BE SORRY!
Pros: Easy to access - near everything
