Puerto Lima — Restaurant in Ledyard

I had been meaning to try this place for some time. I went later after work so some items were sold out. I ordered the Cubano sandwich which had ham, pulled pork, pickles, and cheese. I also ordered the beef empanadas. I wanted chicken, too, but they were out. I couldn't resist buying a flan! While the sandwich was very good, it was way too salty for my taste. The empanadas had a delicious, crispy crust but I thought the burger could use more flavor. I added sour cream and salsa at home and it made all the difference. The portions were huge and I got three meals out of the sandwich and empanadas. I managed to make the flan last for two meals but I could have easily eaten the whole thing if I hadn't been so full. It was delicious. I will be back to try some different items on the menu. The owner takes a lot of pride in his business and wants to please his customers. I'm happy that he's doing well in...

We were lucky to stumble upon this place on our way from New London to Norwich. I was with a friend who is Peruvian. Some of us were a bit hungry but we werent planning on stopping for a full meal, just to check the place out and grab a snack. What a snack it was! We got a couple of empanadas and platanos maduros (sweet plantains) with some alfajores (dulce de leche sugar cookies) for dessert. The platanos came out first and they were absolutely delicious! Normally they are a little sweet for my taste and I never used to like them but when they are made like that I just couldn't help myself -- and then the empanadas came. Im suprised the lady serving didnt hurt her wrist carrying over these massive things. Just a warning, you may want to share becasue it is a lot of food. But yea, is was also delicious. The sauces/cremas that came with the order were great too. I just wish it was closer to...

ALL THE STARS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We ordered food for pickup tonight and I could barely make it home without tearing open the bag because it smelled so good. But let me back up, I was greeted by the most friendly folks when I walked in the door who not only had my food packaged and ready to go but chatted with me about ordering options and gave me samples of their drinks, the mango drink is to die for! When I got home I was taken back by how huge the portions are! Our sandwiches were easily the size of two regular portions. We had the Tripleta sandwich and the Cubano sandwich with sides of fries. The pulled pork on the Cubano sandwich was so juicy and tender and the bread was perfectly grilled. We also got a beef and a chicken empanada and they were huge! The sauce was a little spicy for me (I’m a spice wimp) but my husband loved it. I’m so happy I found this place and it is now a local...
