Lima Latin Peruvian Cuisine — Restaurant in Sayreville

Looks like they don’t welcome anyone here who doesn’t look like they are from Latin America (nor wait staff, no patrons). Came in to this place with 2 small kids. No wait staff insight or any signs or place where you would have to wait or be seated. People waiting by pick up area, several empty tables. I asked a man and a woman who sat at a table and there was another next to them if they were going to use that table. The woman didn’t speak English (but also it looks like she just pretended not to speak English, because her husband was surprised when she didn’t answer me). I then asked in Spanish and she gave me an attitude and I felt she was being racist because I’m not Hispanic even though I spoke Spanish to her. Then the old waitress came over and scolded me as well, yet she was no where to be found before and there was no sign or hostess area that would make anyone believe that you have to be seated. Then we stood there as a family of 4 in the middle of the restaurant, feeling like we were not welcomed by the older waitress or the patrons. Older waitress kept ignoring us and was not even nice to my 2 and 4 year old kids. Wow?!? The young waitress was normal, and did tell us we’d have to wait 10-15 minutes, but our experience was ruined, mood was shot, we were clearly not welcomed and we decided to leave. It’s very sad to feel discriminated against at a place I was so excited to visit....

We happened to be in the area on a Sunday afternoon, craved some Peruvian.

Stuffed Avocado with chicken salad was delicious! Perfectly creamy, heavy portion! 9/10

Ceviche de Pescado was a generous portion, it’s definitely an entree on its own! Good fish selection, smacked me in the tongue with flavor and kick! 10/10!

Pollo a la brasa was great as well, i wish it was a tad more crispy from the skin the flavor did not disappoint on the outside or the inside, marinaded to perfection!

Generous portions of rice and beans! 9/10!

Service was amazing, place was clean - parking can be tricky here but doable!

Put my daughter to sleep, how much the food slapped!

Already planning our return, maybe I shouldn’t post this review!

Would return...

Our family loves Latin food and to be able to find a place that cooks it authentic is rare. There are restaurant chains like Pio Pio and others that do it well but Lima Latin Peruvian Cuisine does it perfectly. Tonight’s meal was just amazing and the pictures that I added was just the first of many other dishes we will be trying. The place was clean and inviting. The only thing was that our main dishes took a little while to come out but why rush perfection, it was totally worth the wait. The waiters and waitresses were prompt and courteous always checking on us to see if everything was good. This is definitely a place you must try and out on your favorites list. Thank you to the staff and the cooks for an...
