With one of the most interesting names I have yet encountered in Miami, Dr. Limón has me debating on whether it should take the lead as one of the best Peruvian-cuisine representative I've tried thus far. Located on
13766 S.W. 84th Street, it has what Miami folks would call a typical Cuban facade on the outside, with a more modern touch on the inside. If you've ever been to CVI.CHE 105, it's like a smaller, cozier version of that. Dr. Limón has all the typical Peruvian dishes on its menu; however, finding them is quite an entertaining adventure. As the restaurant's name suggests, it is as if you've entered a doctor's clinic--all the plates bear health-related names such as Remedio Casero (Home Remedy), Cuarentena (Quarantine), and Fiebre Amarilla (Yellow Fever). As a starter, the waiter brings complimentary shots of Leche de Tigre, which is the juice they use for one of their ceviches--extremely rich in flavor.
The Diagnostico Reservado, a ceviche dish, has a great flavor and is a mix of different seafood. The size was not too small, but definitely would enjoy a bigger dish. The savor was on point, however, so it made up for the small portion. The lomo saltado was also exceedingly good. My praise for Sabor a Peru's lomo definitely met its match. The only downside, again, is the small portion. There was more fries and sliced tomatoes than meat. But it also had a redeeming quality! The meat was tender and had soaked up the sauce very well. Overall, Dr. Limón is a great restaurant; so good that customers will wait in the sun for 40 minutes to get a table.
