Lima's Chicken

Fast, friendly service and a delicious menu of different options! We love Lima's and are grateful to live so close

I came here for the first time because I was curious about the food. I reviewed the menu before arriving, so I decided on a burrito bowl. When I arrived it was just okay. It was kind of dimly lit inside, but the ordering station had lighting that was decent enough to see what I was ordering. I walked in and was not greeted, so I basically stated that I wanted to order a burrito bowl. The staff member looked at me opposed to directly asking what I wanted in the bowl. I started naming the usual items (rice, black beans, corn, salsa, peppers and onlons etc, but since they only had the chicken burrito bowl listed on the in-house menu, I stated that I only wanted a veggie bowl. The cashier at the other end of the station stated that veggie bowls are the same price as those with meat. He added that I could add some roasted vegetables instead. I never asked about pricing, but I guess I understood why he said it, but not how he said it. Everything here seems to be extra and by extra, I mean nickle and diming extra. The guacamole was almost $4.00 in addition to a bowl that was already almost $14.00, which is insane. The service was a no for me and was pretty much non-existent. However, the burrito bowl was unexpectedly exceptional. The flavors were impeccable. I was amazed from the first bite that the flavors exceeded my expectations. I only added salsa verde to the bowl and that was more than enough. I am used to Chipotle bowls in which the salad dressing/sauce always kicks up the flavor several notches, but Lima's bowl did not need anything because the flavors were already prominent and available in every bite. I am not interested in eating here again, but the taste of that burrito bowl might make me reconsider.

Delicious! I stopped in for a quick pick-up, and it was a great choice. The inside of the restaurant was just okay--pretty dated look. The service was friendly and efficient, and I'll definitely be back to try more dishes. The flavor was spot on, the meat was tender, and both the yellow and green sauces added an extra burst of flavor that really enhanced the meal. Perfect quick pick up and go!

This was my regular place to takeout Peruvian Chicken. The chicken was flavorful and moist. Their plantains are always delicious and well made. This week I went to get Peruvian chicken. The guy who took my order had a bit of an attitude. He asked what sides I wanted, I said plantains. He looked at me and asked, "another". I said plantains again and he gave me a look like I was crazy. So I said "your plantains are really good. He looked at the cashier and rolled his eyes.I got home and the chicken was all dry. The meat on the wings and the outside of the drumsticks were solid brown, dried and burnt. I really think this chicken is unsold old chicken, Refi she rated and then reheated. No way this was freshly cook!Never coming back here!!!

bluf: lima's chicken offers Peruvian style dishes and combo meals reminiscent to a KFC (but much better).Lima's offers a pretty wide selection on their menu ranging from chicken options (dark/white meat, cut of the meat, etc) to burritos and other dishes. I usually opt for the combo meal because it feels like a great deal with tons of food (it's a whole chicken + 3 sides + a 2L soda which you can swap for a small side).The taste is awesome. I've been coming here for a while and I feel like the taste of the food has changed in the last 3 years or so. It's a bit different, but not necessarily in a bad way, so I can still recommend them for their yummy food.Their sit-down area is kind of fast-food like. There's not really any service involved after ordering your food, so it's not really a sit-down restaurant situation. They're also a good candidate for carry-out/doordash if that's what you're looking for.Love the spot and they also have a few locations scattered across the DMV area, which in my experience has varied in terms of flavor/experience, so just keep that in mind.

Overall- awesome food for the price, well-balanced and delicious food, great sauces, kind service, and a casual ambiance The chicken is always juicy, fresh, hot, and falling off the bone with excellent flavor. We love their fries, yucca fries, platanos, veggies, and fried rice. If I could purchase the green sauce by the gallon, I would. The napkins here can't handle the mess of the food, but it's a small price to pay for the quantity and quality you get for the price. This Lima's is one of our go-tos for dinner the past four years. (We've been to other Lima's and they aren't as good- one had completely different fries and green sauce.) We do take out or we eat in. I also love grabbing a Family Special or Lima's Special to bring to a family who just had a baby or might need a meal for something. The bathrooms are traditional- separated by men's and women's with multiple stalls in each.

I didn't go into this location so I will ask my husband more about it. However, I did have the food. Everything was good the chicken and rice. I did not enjoy the green beans so much but everyone's taste buds are different. I like my green beans to be a little bit more cooked and seasoned. My green beans were crunchy and bland so that's the only thing that I would recommend. The sauces were pretty good as well. I haven't been inside this place in years but I'm sure that it's still pretty clean and the customer service is good but I will have to follow up with my husband to get more information

After dining at Lima's Chicken, I believe it deserves a solid 3 to 4-star rating. This Peruvian chicken and food restaurant offers good quality dishes and an efficient dining experience.One of Lima's Chicken's highlights is its Peruvian base whole rotisserie chicken, alongside famous Peruvian dishes. You have the flexibility to choose a portion of chicken (half or whole) and select sides to accompany it. The sides are pre-prepared and kept warm, although their freshness and quality may vary depending on timing and refills.What stands out positively is the quick service; you can be seated and eating within 5 minutes of walking in. The casual atmosphere also allows for a relaxed dress code, adding to the comfortable dining experience. While the food quality is decent, it may not leave you amazed.Despite its positive aspects, there are some notable drawbacks to consider when dining at Lima's Chicken.One issue that can detract from the experience is the occasional wait for freshly cooked chicken. If you arrive when they're running low on prepared chicken, you may find yourself waiting for a new batch to finish cooking. This delay can be frustrating, especially if you're looking for a quick meal.Another concern is the pricing structure. While Lima's Chicken doesn't fall into the category of being outrageously expensive, it's also not the most budget-friendly option. This middle-ground pricing may make some diners think twice before indulging frequently.Perhaps the most significant negative, is the portion sizes of sides and sauces. Despite the overall simplicity of the meal, Lima's Chicken tends to be somewhat stingy with these accompaniments. Additionally, the fact that they charge extra for each sauce can feel restrictive, especially when considering that these sauces can greatly enhance the dining experience.These factors, combined with the casual yet not overly welcoming staff, may make Lima's Chicken a less appealing choice for those seeking a more indulgent or interactive dining experience.In my opinion, Lima's Chicken is ideal for lazy days when you're craving chicken and want a quick, comfortable dining experience. I recommend ordering a whole chicken with sides and sharing it with friends. This is my personal scale of how I grade places. I try not to give any restaurant a 1 star or 5 stars unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. - 5 stars: This signifies a flawless, nearly perfect experience that's worth revisiting without hesitation, leaving little to no room for complaints.- 4 stars: Expect an experience that surpasses average, leaving you satisfied and content with your decision to dine here.- 3 stars: Represents a neutral stance, neither exceptional nor disappointing, offering a standard dining experience without notable highlights.- 2 stars: Advises against choosing this establishment unless absolutely necessary, as it falls short of providing a desirable experience.- 1 star: Strongly discourages dining here, suggesting that it's better to go hungry than to visit this place under any circumstances.

March 5th we arrived at Lima's at 11:20 for food, but they refused to let us in! Their sign says they open at 10:30 and google says they open at 11:00, yet the would not even open the door. They saw me and another patron out front waiting and knocking on the doors yet they continue to prep other to go orders! It was so cold and windy today, we waited patiently outside for another 10mins while the employees ignored us. Never going back to this place since they don't value our time or service!

This is putrid. Me and my fiancé went to Limas for dinner. Sat down and noticed the place had roaches. when there is on there is more. Makes you wonder what's going on beyond the dining room. Hopefully the health department comes in and does an inspection. Not only the roaches, but the staff was rude toned and no smile to be found. Some of the kitchen staff was sitting up on the tables in the back where food is handled.
