Limeña Peruvian Eatery — Restaurant in Thousand Oaks

I ordered over the phone a deconstructed pollo a brasa sandwich, asked the guy to not forget the onion salsa bc last time they did, explained I don't like food touching specially sauces bc it gets soggy, hence, deconstructed. When I get there they give me a tiny container of the salsa filled half way, in the past they given me a much bigger container for same order. The $20 sandwich is focaccia bread with rotisserie chix (usually dryish) that's y the salsa is so important. The register guy was rude and disrespectful even told me I never said deconstructed, he then proceeded to tell me next time explain it in spanish, if he didn't understand me over the phone he should of ask then, not serve the sandwich on the same box as the fries, which made it all that much soggier. He was very annoyed and somehow blamed me to the chef. They gave me the extra salsa but charged me for it without saying, so when I saw it I reminded him they owed me one from last time... they made me wait over 10 mins to give me the same sandwich we were both very annoyed he said I had to talk to the chef who never came out to speak. I was there for over 30mins chef never bother, it was another kitchen assistant that very nicely stepped in and was able to complete my order. That chef and that register guy are terrible, will...

I tried this place for the first time. I ordered take out through their website and requested the pickup time to be about 75 minutes. It was quite expensive for what we ordered. When I got there, I had to wait another 15 minutes past the pick up time. So it took them about 90 minutes to prepare 3 entrees, 2 appetizers, and 2 desserts. But it cost $150 with a 10% tip.

I was a bit annoyed because they didn't seem terribly busy, there were open tables, no line, and it looked like there were only 4 tickets on the board. Not to mention how expensive it all was and the fact that I was asked to leave a tip (and did) when I ordered online. I was a little annoyed I couldn't take back my tip, honestly.

They eventually apologized for the wait when they handed me my food and I was ok giving them the benefit of the doubt and brushing it off because of the holiday rush.

The big problem here is my sister found METAL SHAVINGS in her food! She picked it out of her mouth! How terrifying! I can understand the delay getting our food but there is absolutely no excuse for this. It was instantly off putting for obvious reasons and who knows if we ingested any of it or not.

The food we did have was good but given the food safety issue, we will not...

We visited Limeña Peruvian Eatery after we craved or favorite Peruvian dish, and our usual Peruvian place in Moorpark has become flaky with their hours and availability. We were not disappointed!

We ordered 2 of the Tallarín Saltado de Veggie and a quinoa vegetable stir fry for my 4-year-old. Everything was delicious! The tallarín dishes had linguini noodles tossed with large Peruvian corn, peas, carrots, and large wedges of Roma tomatoes and red onion. All the veggies were cooked al dente. It all made for a flavorful and light broth. They came with sides of spicy 🔥 Peruvian pesto sauce, which was delicious!

My son enjoyed his quinoa stir fry. I tried it, and really liked it. They didn't have a kids menu, but this was a healthier option anyway. I highly recommend a...
