Reviews
We had pesto spaghetti with skirt steak , fried rice with beef also a pitc5of there red sangria which is really nice. The only thing I will change that they dont seem to have good heat inside. Everyone was dining with there coats. Very cold
Only complaint was the temp – was cold mainly from people opening door but they could have raised the inside temp.
We started with Yuca Fries, a staple across Latin America but especially beloved in Peru. Yuca, or cassava, is a starchy root vegetable that’s been part of Indigenous diets for thousands of years. Fried to a golden crisp on the outside and soft inside, they came served with a creamy, herby green sauce (aji verde) made with Peruvian ají amarillo peppers, cilantro, lime, and mayo. The pairing was addictive crispy, hearty yuca dipped into that tangy-spicy sauce was the perfect start to the meal.
Next was the Ceviche Mixto, Peru’s national dish and a reflection of its coastal identity. This version came with shrimp, calamari, octopus, and raw corvina fish, all marinated in lime juice until the acidity “cooked” the seafood. Thin-sliced red onions added a sharp bite, while the rocoto (red-hot Peruvian pepper) gave it that fiery brightness ceviche is famous for. It was served with orange sweet potato for sweetness and choclo (giant Peruvian corn) for an earthy chew. Ceviche has deep roots pre-Columbian cultures cured fish with fruit juices long before the Spanish introduced limes in the 1500s. Every bite here felt both refreshing and balanced, spicy yet smooth, and steeped in history.
Then came the Lomo Saltado, one of my personal favorites. This dish is pure chifa (Chinese-Peruvian fusion), born in the 19th century when Chinese immigrants brought stir-frying techniques to Peru. Tender strips of filet mignon were seared in a blazing wok with onions, tomatoes, and garlic, then flavored with soy sauce and ají amarillo for that perfect sweet-umami-spicy mix. French fries tossed right into the wok soaked up all the juices, while the side of white rice brought everything together. It’s the kind of dish where every ingredient has its place the smokiness of the wok, the sweetness of the tomatoes, the savoriness of the beef, and the comforting starch from both rice and potatoes.
Finally, the Pollo a la Brasa, one of Peru’s most beloved exports. This rotisserie chicken has only been around since the 1950s, when Swiss immigrants in Lima began marinating chickens with local spices and roasting them over charcoal. Today, it’s so important that Peru even celebrates “Día del Pollo a la Brasa.” The chicken was marinated with garlic, cumin, paprika, vinegar, and soy sauce, roasted until the skin was smoky and crisp while the meat stayed juicy. It came with a side of rice and beans, plus a tangy red onion salad for brightness. Simple, hearty, and deeply satisfying it’s no wonder this dish has become a Peruvian classic around the world.
What made Lima 33 special was how it balanced tradition with flavor. The service was warm, the portions generous, and each plate carried a little piece of Peru’s history. And honestly, I’m already planning my return.
Yucca fries tasted very unique, similar to yam but less sticky.
Roasted chicken was fabulous, it’s well seasoned although breast was a bit dry.
Salad was average, with a interesting sour flavor.
Seafood rice was better than I expected. The seafood was amazingly fresh and the rich was done well.
