Authentic Peruvian Delights at Lomo Libre
My experience at Lomo Libre was fantastic! They serve authentic Peruvian dishes that truly reminded me of my grandparents. Every dish I tried was delicious and well done. The ceviche is a must-try, and my brother raved about the tallarín saltado. You can't go wrong with their lomo saltado or ají de gallina. The staff were also incredibly warm and friendly, adding to the overall great experience.

Delicious Peruvian Gem!
My experience at this Peruvian restaurant was fantastic! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. The Lomo saltado noodles were a stroke of genius. The food, service, and atmosphere all received a perfect 5/5.

Amazing Food Despite Crowds!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially considering how slammed they were post-festival crowd. Despite being busy, the staff remained attentive, and the food was simply amazing. The ceviche was incredible.

Lomo Libre: Our New Peruvian Go-To!
Lomo Libre has quickly become our new go-to spot for Peruvian food! We had a wonderful experience with all of the staff, and the food was delicious with generous portions. We started with the ceviche, which is an absolute must-try! The flavors were incredible, and the seafood was so fresh. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Amazing Peruvian Hidden Gem!
Wow, what an amazing hidden gem! You should run, not walk, to this restaurant because the Peruvian food is absolutely incredible. I had probably the best lomo saltado I’ve ever tasted. The adobo de chancho is also amazing, as are the yuca fries. We discovered this place last week and immediately had to go back. The staff is also so sweet and attentive! I'm excited to have this spot in the neighborhood.

Consistently Flavorful Food!
Since we first came here, we have been back multiple times. The food has been sooo flavorful each time! The mix of spices and seasonings is pure joy to my mouth. So far, the ceviche is my favorite! My family enjoys it too.

Delicious Peruvian Food and Excellent Service
My experience at this Peruvian food spot was incredible. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. To start, the empanadas were delicious, and I highly recommend trying the ceviche, which is very fresh and delicious, with a flavor you'll really enjoy with the plantain chips. It's a great place to hang out with your partner.

Incredible Ceviche Exceeds Expectations
I walked in en route to an errand and ordered ceviche verde (green ceviche) to go. It was ready when I got back and oh my goodness did it exceed my expectations. Some of the best ceviche I’ve had! The fish was so fresh and the leche de Tigre was so flavorful and the hominy and toasted goodies were a perfect addition. I was surprised it wasn’t served with chips, but that seems more a Central American take. Ceviche was born in Peru! Thousands of years ago (who knew)!

Solid Peruvian with Great Service
My experience at Lomo Libre Cantina offered a diverse menu with a focus on flavorful Peruvian cuisine. The Pisco cocktails were notably strong and well-prepared, setting a great tone for the meal. The Ceviche was fresh and flavorful, though it might be slightly spicy for some. The Chupe De Marisco, rated 8-10, tasted delicious but could have benefited from more fish, broth, and creaminess. Similarly, the Arroz con Marisco, also rated 8-10, had ample and flavorful clams and scallops, but was lacking in shrimp. The Lomo Saltado received a 7-10 rating; the sauce leaned towards soy sauce and missed the traditional aji panca, but the meat was cooked perfectly, and the rice was well-executed. A highlight was the service, which was excellent, attentive, and respectful. Overall, Lomo Libre Cantina is a solid choice for a satisfying dining experience.
