By request  ·  One event at a time  ·  DMV

Your event deserves better than the usual trays. Bring Perú home.

Real Peruvian food shouldn’t be saved for a restaurant on Saturday night. We cook it from scratch and bring it to your biggest days, at home or at the office.

The honest math

We cook for one event at a time. Yours.

One kitchen, from scratch

Ají de gallinasimmers for hours. Recipes like that don’t survive being rushed, so we don’t rush them.

One date, one event

We never book two events on the same day. When we take your date, the kitchen cooks for your table and nobody else’s.

Months fill up

When a month is full, it’s full. New requests roll to the next one, so registering early puts you in line.

Events start at 10 guests with at least a week’s notice. Mostly the DMV, but there’s no hard line — if you’re nearby, ask.

Who’s cooking

Jaime

Head chef

Jaime runs the kitchen behind everything De Lima serves, from the weekly menu to every event we take on. When we book your date, he’s the one at the stove, cooking each dish from scratch the way it’s done at home.

Your biggest days

Corporate

Team lunches, client days, office parties — food people are still talking about in the elevator afterward.

Holidays

Thanksgiving, Navidad, year-end gatherings. Surprise the table with something nobody saw coming.

Birthdays & family

Milestones deserve more than a delivery app. A spread that turns the day into an occasion.

What registering actually gets you

You register

Thirty seconds: name, email, what you’re celebrating. No commitment, no payment, nothing to decide yet.

A personal reply

Within a day or two you hear from us directly — a real conversation, and a menu built around your event.

You’re first in line

Dates are genuinely limited. When one opens up, the people on this list hear first.

Register Your Interest

It costs nothing and books nothing. It puts you in line, and we reply personally within a day or two.
