. The Seco is now bone-in short rib made made medium rare and mouth watering tender. There is a new pep and attentiveness to the service; which I appreciate. The music has changed to more trendy secular music; which is a must in this day and age. Overall the presentation of all of the dishes seems to have been up leveled. Dishes start at around $14, but it is now a place that I’m happy to pay $30+ for a dish at. This place has 3 of my favorite dishes in the city. With my new favorite being a recent addition. The fish of the day. The drinks are always fantastic and the service is top notch. It’s lovely enough to be a dinner date spot and casual enough to be a quick launch haunt. I’m a huge fun and I’m sure you will be also.

Incredible food, incredible staff. We order some food for the three of us but one of the main dishes never arrived. We queried it after a while and we were told it was on its way. It didn’t arrive but the manager came over to us to apologise and he explained what had happened and ensured us that the missing main was coming. He was so apologetic and told us he was taking that main dish off our bill as it was there error. When the missing main arrived it was amazing so the next time we saw the waiter we asked him to put the main back on the bill as we wanted to pay for it. He refused and told us it was their fault for the delay and they cannot accept a payment for it. What a class restaurant, that to me shows true professional, I wish more restaurants took this “customer first” approach. Well done team, Limón. We will be back the next time we are in SF.

Great service except for an instance where we received one of the four dishes we ordered separately and after 30-40 minutes. We asked them to take it back as we were already done with our dinner and they took it out of our tab. The drinks were great and nicely decorated, but two out of the three tasted exactly the same (both mezcal based). The food was very average and very salty which is never a good sign. I had the beef tongue dish and it was chewy and didn't have the delicateness I expected.

Food was delicious, service was friendly and chilled (just what you need on a Sunday) and atmosphere was cool. We had a table for 5 and pretty much shared everything to get the best value. We ordered the classic ceviche too but went to fast digging in! 😅 Pictured: 1) arroz com mariscos; 2) whole chicken; 3) side veggies (zucchini).

The meat was at the perfect point! The chocolate dessert was a delicious match with just enough sugar. And the service was super efficient and friendly. I was served by Roy, a Peruvian boy. I will definitely come back to this place.

Our dinner here at Limon was excellent! Flavors on point. Our server was Star & Pancho, friendly and attentive. Chef Rolando and manager Ramez were so welcoming! Thank you, everyone, at Limón!

The ceviche is delicious. I ordered the trio and couldn’t choose a best one, they were all flavorful in their own way. I recommend getting the extra order of taro chips on the side because they don’t come with many in the order itself. If you are looking for a non-alcoholic refreshing drink, I highly recommend the chicha morada—it’s made with purple corn, fruit and spices. It kind of tastes like a lighter mulled wine, not too sweet and not too sour! The bar service was great, and the staff were very friendly. There are also electric outlets under the bar which was a lifesaver b/c my phone was about to die. When I’m in SF again, I will definitely go back.

First of all, the server stole money from me by incorrectly reporting the total bill (left themselves an even larger tip). I suppose this could have been an accident but the amount I left was written very clearly... Unfortunately the food was really disappointing. Despite the nice presentation and high prices, both seafood dishes were gross, and overly salty as others have said. It was mostly over cooked calamari and not much flavor aside from salt. I had come here years ago and liked it so it seems to have gone downhill.

I loved this place. My friends took me here for my birthday. The staff were kind enough to sing Happy birthday for me. Our server was very nice and changed our order after they brought the food and we realized we made the mistake of ordering the wrong thing. The food was amazing. I had a blast.

Very authentic Peruvian with nice plating. All seafood are pretty spot on. We went on a Monday evening where there were open seatings. But the servers were keeping sending us away.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Overall: A good staple to come to in the mission. Would I come back: Yeah I would The extended review… Food: Yuca Fries - 3.5/5 - Yummy but much starchier than potatoes. Ceviche Mixto - 4/5 - A tasty ceviche with a good representation of other seafoods Mar y Tierra - 4/5 - Why not I say. Basically it’s Lomo Saltado with some shrimps. Who could deny that. Service: 4/4 - Friendly attentive service. Ambiance: 3/5 - A bit on the louder side. It’s also a bit packed so it can be slightly claustrophobic for some people depending on how you deal with crowds.

I come to this place with an expectation that the roast chicken would be unprecedented because of the hype. Well, the roast chicken is indeed good but not to the level that surprised me. However, the ceviche! I am usually skeptical with the ceviche because it tends to be small and one dimensional flavor - sour. Worse than that, bland. However, the ceviche here is rich. I love how creative it is to put fried items in the ceviche without being soggy. There are fun things to chew on along fresh seafood. Oh yes the snapper is very fresh. And most importantly, the dressing for the ceviche that we got is not only sour but had a kick of chili and shallots. I wiped the plate with the yuca fries and chips. Would love to try other ceviches and other dishes more next time.

Really good atmosphere and service. Food is really based on personal preference. The ceviche is tasty but not outstanding (maybe it's because i don't know how to appreciate this dish/type of cuisine). Steak frites is 9/10. Meat is not the most flavourful or tender but really decent. The sauce and rice combo is a real treat.

I can't tell you how delighted my family and I are to have found Limón on lively Valencia Street in San Francisco. We were able to get a reservation during Geezer Hour (5-6:00pm) when the upstairs had few people. This is relevant to the sound levels which, by the time we left, found quite loud. The excellent service and inspired dishes compensated for the difficulty we had in speaking over the music and voices of other patrons toward the end of the meal. We look forward to eating at Limón again!

Good thing we made a reservation before going cos when we got there the place was packed and there was a long line. I ordered: • Ceviche Mixto (Fresh catch of the day, calamari, shrimp, cancha, choclo, & sweet potato) • Mango Lemonade • Coliflor Picante (Crispy cauliflower tossed in a spicy mayo sauce) The seafood in the ceviche was fresh! Everything was sooo delicious and service was excellent! Will def go back the next time we're in SF.

I came here with a large group (10-15 of us) and it was such a great space! We started with the empanadas and ceviche for appetizers along with some taro chips with amazing dips. Then we got pitchers of their legendary Pisco Sours and Margaritas. The appetizers were so good, but the main course was even better. Our group was seating umbrae the kitchen, so you can literally see the rotisserie chicken coming out and the fire behind it! So cool. We ordered a few half chickens to share, and it was so tender and delicious. The lamb, steak, salad, and everything else was so good. And we had to end with a delicious chocolate dessert! The staff were really kind and made sure we were good 👍

Sleek and modern spot for Peruvian eats with indoor and outdoor seating. We were a large group and shared different meals, but notably the rotisserie chicken, empanadas and ceviche were great.

Awesome Peruvian food. Started with a pitcher of Sangria for the table with the trio ceviche enough for 3-4 people and I loved trying the different dressing that goes with each type of ceviche. Their lyche sour and kycheemelon drinks were also fantastic For dinner I Had the half chicken and it was cooked to perfection and so tender. Nearly as good as the chicken I've had in Lima. Tried a bunch of the sides as well which were all delicious including the Mac and cheese, grilled veggies, and yuca fries. Also tried the lebgua and it was incredibly juicy and tender. Nothing like any other lengua ive had before. Service was very quick and the atmosphere of the place was also very up eat and fun. Definitely recommend for some good Peruvian food.

Crowded and under staffed. Food took a long time to arrive but was not entirely disappointed. We had the Fiesta Platter with beef Empanadas, and the Chicharon de Pollo. The Mac n Cheese that came with it was obviously a filler. After reading their older menus, this used to be a Seafood Jalea. If they're trying to cut costs, I rather they not have it at all and focus more on the parts that actually taste good/matter. It was absolutely tasteless, bland, and overcooked. The pollo carried this dish; like a one man band. The Polli Papas just like the platter had filler food, but unlike the platter it was more than 1/3 of the dish. There's a mountain of french fries as photographed. Well if I wanted a dish of french fries, 🍟 I wouldn't be disappointed. But the selling point for this on the menu was the chicken which sadly, was under portioned, cast aside, forgotten about. It was tasteless, like an after thought. This was topped off with a sprinkle of processed desert like twigs labeled as cheese. Sorry, I'll pass. As for the 1/4 rotisserie chicken with Yuca fries and zucchini, they were nothing much to write home about. We were unsure if the sauces were meant for this dish, even so, everything on this plate was overcooked and under seasoned. If you've gotten this far down my review, I'm gonna level with you. The zucchini was a total waste of time, resources, and my money. Why was it labeled as "Chifa Vegetables" when all it was was sad mushy zucchinis. The Ceviche was the only redeeming dish for the entire experience. Fresh fish in a moat of zesty orange dressing. The citrus notes, and the spicy heat as an after taste gave it a mouth watering zing! The Mai Tai was hard and sweet. Decent, but as tall as the vessel was, ice was the majority. TLDR: The Ceviche de Pescado is the only dish I'd come back for.
