We had an assortment of wonderful soups, beef and seafood. Do not miss this “truly Lima” experience. Make a reservation or enjoy the lively bar while you wait.

Do not expect great service or fancy location. Be ready for long standing before you sit. The menu is just simple. Pick the fish and weigh so they prepare three dishes out of it. You will eat a fantastic food sharing a table with other...More

Simply put, one of the best meals I've ever had. You choose your fish by weight and have the chefs prepare it 3 ways. For a couple, 800-900g is more than enough to leave feeling a bit guilty for how much you've consumed. The standard...More

I have visited La Picanteria in several occasions, with different groups of people. It was funny the first time and although nothing has changed, it is not funny anymore. Waiting two hours (if not longer) for a table is common, but doing it at an...More
