Lima 32 — Restaurant in Meriden

Tried Lima 32 for lunch/dinner with the Wife , the location is where Tacos Mi Nacho used to be (which are now next door)they clean up the place and have like 8/9 tables,service was good ,We ordered food for dine in and food to go,Here is what we tried both there and at home; *Causa Rellena de Pollo= it was actually really good *I had de Lomo saltado= While it was decent it did not meet the authentic lomo saltado flavor that I was looking for and some of the fries where a little raw inside. *My Wife ordered Chaufa Mixto( Chicken/beef) the flavor was good even though I personally like the ingredients like the chicken,Beef,peppers cut into smaller pieces. *For dessert I tried their Flan Custard and Guava tres leches, Flan had no flavor the guava tres leches was good. *For home we ordered a whole rottiserie chicken and 2 orders of Tallarines Saltado de pollo. The chicken was decent but lacking that peruvian taste ,the tallarines saltado was good but once again lacking that smoke flavor that makes it Peruvian. Overall the food was decent but they have a ways to go before it can compete with other Peruvian Restaurants in the State ,Like Piolin ,Empire of the Incas ,Cora Cora...

The environment felt more cafe like vs. a comfy sitdown restaurant. The location was akin to something like a stripmall and can be easily missed. When we walked in, we were greeted and seated by our server, who seemed very nice. She spoke NO english, which made me revert to searching my brain to try to politely ask for some water. In my head I was thinking of a glass of water, but she returned with bottled water. It worked for me as I knew we had a communication barrier. I had interactions with 3 staff members, and they were all warm and friendly.

The flavor profile was different than other varieties of Latin food that I have experienced, and it was an excellent culinary experience. I would definitely visit multiple times to explore...

The attention was excellent. The atmosphere was just ok. The food was good. I am peruvian and I can taste a good peruvian dish. This is the second time that I go to a peruvian restaurant that charges extra for using a credit card. It does not make sense!!! I will recomend to have a BIG sing, in the entrace of the restaurant that states the extra charges for using credit cards. We will never comeback to this restaurant. I go to restaurats like: Italian, Greek, Mexican, Peruvian. Indian, Chinese, etc., and NEVER charges for using a credit card. It is a shame!!!! In the state of Connecticut it is ILIGAL to charge extra for using credit cards You...
