We have a huge range of Peruvian dishes to choose from.
Peru is renowned for its cuisine and rightly so. Immigrants from Europe, Asia and Africa all came to Peru with their own style of cooking and fused it with traditional flavors to create some of the most exciting and delicious food in the world.
“We love sharing our culture to the people. It’s a passion for us. To keep the food as authentic as possible, we import certain essential ingredients from Peru. There is no substitute for Peruvian peppers and corn, which is why we doesn’t use American substitutes.”

Owner of Plano’s Lima Taverna restaurant shares love for Peruvian cuisine, culture
For Eliseo Figueroa, restaurant ownership is about more than just business.
The owner of Lima Taverna said his Plano restaurant is a means to share his love for the food of his native country of Peru.
Peruvian spot that offers seafood and more

Lima Taverna, Plano’s Popular Peruvian Spot, Is Expanding to Washington, D.C.
Lima Taverna, Plano’s well-liked Peruvian restaurant, is expanding to a location slightly farther away from Dallas: Washington, D.C.
Owner Eliseo Figueroa says he’s partnered with a D.C.-based restaurateur and hopes to open the new location in the spring. It’ll be in the Georgetown neighborhood, but things are still in planning stages.
Lima Taverna is all about Peruvian cuisine
Lima Taverna is all about Peruvian cuisine, as its name might imply. Three different ceviches are on offer, and they’re all equally great. The ceviche mixto (whitefish, shrimp, and calamari with traditional fixings) is a great option for starters, but the leche de tigre is really where it’s at.

The Dish: Ceviche at Lima Taverna
It’s been too long since I visited Lima Taverna but it’s one of the most interesting, creative and one-of-a-kind restaurants in Plano. It’s hard to find over by Collin Creek Mall, but it’s more than worth the journey for true Peruvian food, no corners cut. Leche De Tigre, Anticuchos de Pollos, Lomo Saltado—you can’t go wrong. There’s even a brunch menu.
Lima Taverna, Hidden in the Back of a Strip Mall, Might Be Plano’s Most Exciting New Restaurant
The parking lot is getting barren at Collin Creek Mall. Anchor stores like Macy’s are fleeing, and although there are stores remaining — including Sears, Victoria’s Secret, an indoor mini-golf course and something called Amazing Jake’s Food & Fun — the mall’s southern end is growing forlorn.
