Limón in San Francisco

Good food, but they rush you like crazy even if the restaurant is mostly empty. Also, the constant up-sells are annoying

Very good place for Peruvian food, the dishes are very delicious and well served. It has a lot of variety on the menu, I recommend the winning trio. The service is very friendly and attentive.

What exactly is an economy recovery fee? Food was okay. Portions are a little small. Food : 4/5

Everything is very rich. I recommend the empanadas and the Pork Belly Excellent service from our waiter Mauricio

The food is excellent, the staff very friendly and efficient, I would always recommend it!

Good spot for all things seafood! They also have good chicken and slow cooked beef/pork dishes, but seems mostly seafood type dishes take the menu! Great drinks too! Food : 4/5

I havent been to Limon for many years and thought it would be nice to revisit for a dinner with 2 friends as a casual place, centrally located that could accommodate the dietary needs of the group. The restaurant was bustling and a little loud even at our 6:15 reserved time. I was really impressed with the attentiveness of everyone in the service - my water glass never got half empty before it was refilled! Many of the waitstaff hugged and High fived customers as they arrived and were seated. Our drink pours were generous. I had the the kale salad and 1/4 chicken - they did an excellent job of making kale delicious without resorting to excess dressing! The 1/4 chicken was very good and if I could find anything to complain about, maybe the chicken was a tad drier than Id like. My friends both got the lomo saltado and enjoyed their meals, too. When we left, there was a line out the door so reservations are helpful - when I reserved it looked wide open. Price was a bit higher than I expected, but thats the day and age we live in now ... And as I mentioned, nobody went home hungry or thirsty! Will definitely plan to come back, maybe a bit earlier even, so we might linger a bit, but we wanted to let someone else in to take our table. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, clean eating

Limon exceeded all expectations from start to finish. The entire experience, from making reservations to savoring the food and enjoying the customer service, was outstanding. As a Peruvian cuisine enthusiast, Im often cautious about trying new places, fearing they might not meet my high standards. However, Limon delivered on all fronts. The lomo saltado was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. The ceviche was fresh and zesty, capturing the essence of this classic Peruvian dish. The pollo a la brasa was a standout - juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. If youre a fan of Peruvian food or looking to explore this fantastic cuisine, Limon is a must-visit. Its refreshing to find a restaurant that not only meets but surpasses expectations, especially when it comes to a beloved cuisine.

Peruvian food is good

Service was quick, food was delicious

Great seafood paella and cocktails. Try the polli-papas, it s an amazing appetizer. On my second visit, we ordered the Lomo saltado and the mixto classico ceviche, along with the truffle mac and cheese as an appetizer. The lomo saltado was delicious and savory, and the steak was the perfect texture. Not too tough, not too rare. The ceviche was also delicious and sharp. Truffle Mac was awesome as well. The most impressive thing was how fast everything came out. Under 5 minutes from when we ordered, everything was on the table. And it was a busy time too. I ll definitely be back.

Great local restaurant. Cevice is great, chicken is the specialty, and be sure to try one of the sour cocktails (pisco sour is the best). Highly recommendable.

How good I loved the experience, it was my first time I was served by Maria and she was very kind and attentive, thank you

Lomo Saltado has a 60% markup on delivery apps. From $23 dining in to $37 on the delivery apps. I understand a 10% even 20% markup but how can this restaurant justify that egregious markup? Luckily there s another spot in the mission that has Lomo Saltado with minimal markup on their delivery app menu.

The food is very delicious but the service is not good, it is the second time I have gone to this restaurant and I have had uncomfortable moments. The first time I had a bad experience with the waitress Maria P, this was 03/05, I talked to her when I left the place and I didnt make any report. The second time was 08/18 with the same waitress María P and it was the same issue: the service and trying to surprise us with the included tip and making excuses to not give us our proof of payment. I talked to her again before leaving the place but now Yes, I report it because it must be done constantly.

Be sure to hold on to your receipt and check your credit card bill the next day. After eating here with a party of 8, I saw that the charge on my credit card was $60 higher than what I had seen on the final bill. After calling the restaurant, I found out that they had somehow added an additional two dishes to my bill after I had already paid. The woman I spoke with gladly refunded me for those two dishes after I sent her the receipt that I had been given, where those two dishes weren t included. But if I hadn t kept that receipt (and I usually don t), I m not sure I would have been able to plead my case otherwise. Other than this issue, the service was fine and the food was ok. The two stars are primarily for the mix-up with the bill, which was a hassle to fix and would have been worse for someone that didn t keep their receipt.

Great ceviche!

Went for a sporadic dinner. The place seemed cool and we love peruvian. Place was extremely loud (upstairs) and waitress felt like was trying to sell us unnecessary items from the begging. Ceviche was okay and lomo saltado too drinks were good. The worst was the waitress who had involuntarily added chips to our bill and once we asked her about it she got irritated proceeded to pull out her tip money and gave us $4 we dont argue for four dollars here I automatically add it to every ceviche because it s not good by itself Shocking end to our dinner - will not recommend or come back even though drinks were good and food was mid.

All the food is excellent, very good as is the service. The other day I placed an order through Uber Eats, and I canceled it immediately and they did not refund my cancellation money. Thats from the restaurant.

We had an amazing time! Food is absolutely excellent. We ordered the ceviche trio sampler plate and the half chicken as well as a passionfruit sour. As a ceviche lover, this place really stood out. I think it s even better than La Mar. Portions are generous, everything was super flavorful. Service was super quick and we got in with no reservation.

Music was a bit too loud, but the food is great.

A lively spot with fresh, vibrant dishes ideal for sharing. The ceviche is a must! If youre meeting up with friends here, make sure you share the address because they have a second location nearby.

Limon has been a go to for years, food and cocktails are always on point and the service is good too unlike so many bay area restaurants where the servers think theyre too cool.

One of my favorite restaurants ever, this place never gets old. One of the few restaurants where I would try every single thing on the menu.

Pollería Limón offers a delightful dining experience with delicious food and excellent service. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to try authentic Peruvian cuisine. The flavors are outstanding, and the staff is incredibly attentive. Don t miss out on this gem!

Ive been a Limón customer for a few years now and I love the place. Very good food, fast and efficient service. Always very crowded, but they always find a way to accommodate you if you dont have a reservation. Lomo Saltado and Rotissery Chicken are my favorites. The empanadas are also delicious.

Phenomenal Peruvian food!!!

Unbeatable service, good and very rich product. Everything we asked for we loved it

Please make sure to carefully review your bill. Otherwise, you may be charged $2 for each sauce you didnt order, and $4 for the chips you didnt receive. Additionally, only half of the dozen oysters we ordered arrived.Its important to thoroughly check every order you receive and be mindful of potential extra charges for items listed as sides on the menu, not the extra ones!

Drinks and ceviche were great! Staff accommodating and found us a less noisy table

Came here for dinner. Service was incredibly slow. Server took 18 minutes just to greet our table and then disappeared.

Fast service

Best Peruvian ceviche I ve tried in SF. It s addicting. Other items fall short in comparison (have tried 5 other main dishes) Food : 5/5

The fiesta platter was a great way to sample a variety of items. The beef empanadas and chicken were good. I loved the plantains and the yuca fries were great too! The beef from the lomo saltado was tender and my husband was obsessed with the rice from this dish. The preparation was definitely elevated from plain rice. We arrived at opening on Sunday and were seated immediately. It was nice to sit by the window and on a nice day. I hear the ceviche is delicious and excited to try that next time!

Heres a review for Limon: Limon is a culinary gem! The ceviche was fresh and zesty, a perfect start to our meal. The Lomo saltado offered a wonderful explosion of flavors, and the rotisserie chicken was perfectly juicy and well-seasoned. Each dish was a highlight, making Limon a must-visit for any food lover!

I heard great things about Limons ceviche so we ordered the ceviche mixto for pickup during my visit last summer. It ended up being $26. I thought there was a bit too much fish in the ceviche mixto relative to the other ingredients. Fish is definitely my least favorite ceviche seafood component in general, and it didnt taste great. I liked the ceviche sauce but I didnt like the seafood. The sides of big corn and crunchy corn were good. Overall the ceviche flavor was good but the seafood was pretty meh.

Ceviche with the yellow aji amarillo sauce is surprisingly delicious! And can t go wrong with the seafood Paella!

Wordless. This place is amazing. Thank you Maria!

A must try in San Francisco! I came with a large group for dinner and each dish we had was exceptional. The ceviche was my personal favorite and their cocktails were great!

Unfortunately Im going to have to leave them a bad score this time since Im out of patience because every time I order they give me the order without napkins and cutlery. Im a regular customer of Limon. I love their specialty and I always buy my food here, but the attention of I agree, the takeout orders are very poor, I would love to see them improve it since the tip is never lacking, thank you

I had dinner here the other night and had an excellent meal. However, when the bill arrived it was much higher than expected. You dont receive a paper itemized bill, instead they just tell you the total and you pay on a portable device. We tipped and left but realized afterwards that we were overcharged by $20 not including tip. Were still unsure of the extra charges so beware of the lack of transparency when paying at this restaurant.

Excellent ceviches and pisco sours! The octopus (pulpo) was equally fabulous! Service was friendly, attentive and top notch... Sight negative, its a bit pricy.

Good and professional service, OK food, terrible seating experience. We were seated on the mezzanine, right next to some sort of service room (maybe part of the kitchen?), which was extremely loud and smelled terrible.

Limon on Valencia ALWAYS a good choice. Perfectly executed Sours. We had the regular Pisco, the lychee and the passion fruit sour. All delicious, the passion fruit was the most tart, reminiscing of kalamansi. All 3 distinct, all 3 delicious. That Peruvian Pollo is always a winner winner chicken dinner. So moist, such full flavored skin, served as a mountainous family portion. Ceviches all delicious, again perfect execution. Really accessible flavors, homey, not overly refined or designer like LaMar, better in my opinion. Large selection of ceviches and other sea food, so enticing! Didnt get to dessert. Service was perfect, super friendly and accommodating. Provided explanations that were short, concise, relatable. Our waiter was training a new waiter and they worked seamlessly in unison, never missing a beat nor intrusive in our merriment. We were a table of 8 and closed the joint down on a Tuesday night. Place was fully booked. Highly recommend! Super fun, not a missed flavor at all. Oh, when we arrived, the fan was out and the room was smokey and way humid. They did something and 10 minutes later, all was clear. No smoke and perfect room temp.

Ordered via übereats. Empanadas were great. But Lomo Soltado was overcooked and dry.

Exquisite food. Super friendly staff. Love it!

Service is not good to slow

Excellent

Food is well prepared every time. Service is better than most. I have not had one thing on the menu that I have not thoroughly enjoyed. My favorite is the ceviche and the Lomo saltado and the pork belly

Food is good, but a little overpriced. The restaurant is pretty loud,so youre almost yelling across the table. Its great to have a place to get Peruvian food.

Food is amazing, price is ok. Good price/quality balance. Worth to visit

Ordered the rotisserie and it still had feathers!!!!

I cant 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! March 2024: Discovered Pisco Sours by the pitcher, tasty cauliflower and other delights.

Amazing

Service is really slow, but maybe it was just the Sunday and maybe understaffed. Ceviche is incredible!!! So delicious and cocktails are generous.

Always fun and delicious. I love their chicharrones and empanadas, but everything is good there, including the cocktails!

A cozy setting to enjoy delicious Peruvian food with family and friends.

They engage in DRIP pricing and add a hidden fee (4% economic recovery fee ) to their bill. They also start the tip machine at 20% and watch you like a hawk as you enter the amount on the terminal at the table. Terrible business practices, won t be back.

Only had the ceviche but it was excellent. I will say though I disagree with the Economic Recovery Tax that they charge. Seems to be I am a contributer to your economic recovery by dining there. Hope thats enough for your establishment.

Very good and helpful especially Jasmin Everything delicious

Great Peruvian restaurant in the Mission. You cant go wrong with any of the ceviches, and the lomo saltado is delicious. In the cocktail section, I recommend the maracuyá sour!

Mauricio was our server and he was EXTREMELY attentive ! The food was amazing and the service was just as good ! We went to celebrate my brothers birthday and they sang happy birthday to him and made him feel so special ! Will definitely be returning again

Really bad service. Rude waitress. Brought me food with allergens after I told her I had a severe wheat/gluten allergy. Awful timing bringing dishes out. Very expensive and small portions. Before I ordered I told our server I was allergic to gluten and she arrogantly told me gluten could not be in a sauce, that gluten is a food. After I politely insisted she check with the chef anyway whether or not the soy sauce was gluten free, she begrudgingly talked to him, only to come back and tell me what I already knew- that gluten can in fact be in sauces and the thing she just told me was gluten free actually did have gluten in it. I could not believe how rude she was about it. Gluten free soy sauce is indeed a thing. And I shouldnt have to beg a server to check on a common allergen like that. After all of that she let me order a food item that said crispy in the description. Im not sure how it is my fault that crispy did not translate to battered and deep fried. And after having a very uncomfortable back/forth with her about my allergies she let me order it without mentioning it had wheat in it and was deep fried. Ive never had a waiter fail to connect the dots and warn me about something with allergens in it after bringing it up. She acted like it was my fault for ordering it after I specifically told her I was allergic to wheat and gluten and rudely shoved a menu in my face to prove her point. At no point was I rude to her so I have no idea where she got off acting like that. Service was bad, all of this aside. They brought our appetizers out quickly, then almost immediately brought my partners entree out, which was beef. I ordered ceviche. It was almost comical watching the staff try to cram so many dishes on our small table when we hadnt even finished our salad. They did not give us enough time to make space at the table and it was nearly impossible to eat without bumping something. My *first* ceviche came out about 15 minutes after my partners beef entree so my partner sat there letting her food get cold because she didnt want to be rude and eat without me. Ive never eaten anywhere that served entrées so far apart. She had time to completely finish hers before mine came out. I insisted she do because I didnt want it to get cold. After sending the first ceviche back it took another 15-20 minutes to get the next one. So before I had a single bite of my entree, my partner had been done eating for 30~ minutes. Not to mention our server ignored us the entire night except when my partner had to flag her down as she raced past our table. She came to replace our cocktails once but made very little effort otherwise. She left the empty glasses on our table and a few minutes later a random busboy came and took them. She didnt even bring us the dessert menu and this was on my partners birthday. We wanted to get cake but at that point we were both feeling like the server was either being homophobic or just otherwise rude to us so we paid and left. I only tipped because I didnt want to make a scene but for a $190 dinner they could do a LOT better. I would not go back after this experience. Its a shame because the food tasted good and I love the Walnut Creek location which is a completely different experience. Dietary restrictions: Server was rude and argumentative about food allergies. I had to beg her to check with the chef about common allergens. After all of that she let me order a plate that had the exact thing I told her I was allergic to and she held a menu to my face like a lunatic showing me I was wrong for ordering it. It was her responsibility to point that out in my opinion. If you have allergies avoid this place.

Ive been a client for years in a row. Starting November 2023 I started noticing a sharp decline in management and also experience. Every time there was an awesome experience before. Not after a new manager named Ramirez. Extra rude & loud to the employees. The main issue is that he screams to the top of his lungs when he feels like it. It wasnt directed to clients, it was though to my best waitress and most helpful worker at this place, Maria de los angeles. Youre a trooper for putting up with that abuse from someone thats breaking every labor law in CA. Ill notify the Federal Trade Commission and the CA B P Best business practices.

One of my favorite Peruvian spots in the city! The ceviche mixto is the way to go!

Great service, varied Peruvian menu with something for everyone (even if you don t like cilantro). Especially good seafood dishes. Restaurant is a bit loud but still able to carry on a conversation.

This is one of my favorites Peruvian restaurants in SF

The food was delicious. The Ceviche Limón was outstanding. They went above and beyond supporting customers and creating a positive environment! Food

Too loud and everything is fried.

Food was pretty good, ambience is really loud - but feeling robbed. They charged a 4% economic recovery fee in 2024.. No one else is doing that anymore and 4% is high on top of already quite high prices. I don t believe sales tax was properly calculated either. Not good business practices grand total was more than $100 over the subtotal

Im not sure why mac & cheese is on the menu, but please dont get that, disgusting , DRY , worst item they could ever put on the menu

Loved everything, except that they changed the name of La copa ceviche to the plomero feliz or something like that... what for? If it aint broken dont fix it.

I ordered a polli papas, the chicken was dry and hard to chew, and a grilled chicken, the salad was nothing like what we usually find in Peru, the chicken lacked salt and my order arrived cold but that could be because the delay of Doordash.

I used to love this place but things seem to have gone downhill lately. I had dinner with a couple of friends last night and we ordered the lomo saltado, half a chicken, some pisco sours and other sides. My main complaint is about the main dishes quality and quantity: the lomo saltado was lacking flavour and they brought a bunch of potatoes (as they should) with very few pieces of meat. The beef was also overcooked. As for the chicken, the taste was OK - but we ordered yuca fries as one of the sides and not only were we charge $2 extra for that side (on a dish that is already $24) but it literally came with THREE yuca fries. Also, want any sauces? Be ready to dish up another $2 for a few droplets. Anyone who knows anything about Peruvian food knows that abundance is part of the culture, and Limón definitely used to deliver but theyre just stinging out now. Will need to find a new favourite in SF.

Ceviche was great! Good portion to share. Was a little underwhelmed with the octopus. Really tiny compared to the price and not that tasty. I d see this as a good place to catchup, but only if you get seated upstairs or away from the kitchen. Was really loud during dinner so hard to hear and enjoy food.

We tasted red snapper with three different types of ceviche (trio ganador), seafood mix ceviche (el pirata), pork belly with chilli (chanchito a la diabla), and grilled chicken... all good choices.

First Peruvian food, great experience!

Excellent as always Ceviche 10/10 Chocolate dessert 10/10 Piscos 10/10

Very good food..!!! but if you are Latin the service is very bad unlike people from other countries..

Good place. Everything taste good and nice service.

Food was alright, but the atmosphere was way too loud. Had to yell just to talk to someone sitting next to me. If you come here Id try to come when its less busy and sit downstairs to avoid the noise. We also sat upstairs, which had low ceilings and a bunch of tables crammed together (often ~1ft apart) with poor acoustics, which definitely contributed to the noise level. Again, the food itself was fine, but underwhelming. The ceviche was the best, but portion sizes were incredibly small. We also got the empanadas and chicken with a side of veggies and fries. Id say the chicken was very average & the empanadas were good. The veggies were literally just zucchini; was definitely a bit surprising that there was only one kind of vegetable. The fries were fine, maybe a tad under-salted. Overall I probably wouldnt come back and if I did Id try and come during off hours, sit downstairs, and order the seafood.

Very bad place to eat.. very high prices and also bad service

Always great food and cocktails. A bit noisy so its hard to hear conversations.

I really love the chicken!!! The space was filled with people but the service remained the same. I highly recommend it!

Most popular Peruvian restaurant in San Francisco, California. And rightly so. The restaurant is known for its vibrant and colorful ambiance, as well as its flavorful and innovative Peruvian cuisine. Some of the signature dishes at Limon include the Lomo Saltado, a classic Peruvian stir-fry with steak, onions, tomatoes, and french fries, as well as the Ceviche Mixto, a fresh and tangy seafood dish with shrimp, squid, and scallops marinated in lime juice. In addition to its delicious food, they also offer an extensive wine and cocktail menu, featuring a variety of Peruvian-inspired drinks and unique international wines. It has received numerous accolades and positive reviews from food critics and diners alike, and has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and Michelin Guide. It is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the vibrant flavors and culture of Peruvian cuisine in San Francisco.

OK, but a bit overpriced for the quality

Nice restaurant with amazing food and great, kind service!

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.

Everything was very delicious, the person who served us was very attentive, recommended

We were seated at appx. 9pm. Our server was pleasant. We ordered our drinks. Once we received our drinks we ordered our food. Appetizer and our entrees. We received our entree appx. 10seconds after our appetizer was set down. I had the lomo saltado. It was bitter. Burnt. I couldn t tell if it was from the sauce or the steak itself. It must have been an off day for the kitchen team. We also had the panna cotta for dessert.

Phenomenal. Expensive, but generous portions and great food.

Great Peruvian food with wonderful service - but get ready for high noise levels during peak hours. Screaming over dinner isnt for everyone, but if you enjoy a high energy space to begin your evening out you cant lose. Great cocktails as well - glad to get a solid Pisco Sour in SF!

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.

Lomo saltado was too salty and overpriced, but service was great.

Everything was great here. Terrific food, wonderful service and great atmosphere!

Huge portions, solid food. Didnt order wine, but some nice bottles on display.

Order anything, pretty sure you will love it

Food still good and service and atmosphere is warm

Food and drinks were really good. The cauliflower is my favorite

The first time I eat Peruvian food and it was an excellent experience, everything was very delicious

Very good food and friendly staff. My Peruvian GF really liked too

The empanada sampler is not to be missed and they are big empanadas so plenty to split. My favorite was the veggie one, which says a lot as Im usually quite the carnivore. Cucumber margarita was delicious and our server was lovely!

Mahi mahi with mashed potato and roasted cauliflower was excellent, as was my pisco sour cocktail. Service wasnt paying attention, maybe it was a language issue, but I think the former - a slightly impatient and disrespectful attitude. The sponge to the chocolate bandido desert was both dry and pasty, although the chocolate filling was rich, and unfortunately it was served with cream from a spray can. From the main dish though I get the feeling the food is generally immaculate, but it may be hit and miss. Note: there is no coffee machine, so it was filter only with the desert, but gratis so hey.

An incredible experience all around. The service was outstanding, the food was spectacular, and the drinks were delicious. Can t speak highly enough of this location!

Authentic & good tasting Peruvian food. Fried chicken with yuca fries was my dish & liked it. Met a friend here for dinner for the first time & enjoyed the place although the music was a bit loud for me.

Good beef ribs, portions could be a bit bigger, I have a big appetite. Awesome service, very kind!

This is my second time visiting the place and their customer service and food are excelente. A little pricey but overall great place to try peruvian food.

Best taco in Mission SF

Very loud when its full but the food is great! Try the paella

Excellent

Phenomenal food. Perfectly cooked. Interesting dishes. Worth it.

Great drinks, with okay food. The maracuya sour (passion fruit) was stunning, but the rotisserie chicken gave me $5 Costco vibes. It s okay, that s what they serve, but the price tag may not be justified.

The food was very good as well as the service. Its a nice atmosphere but the music is a bit loud.

The food was good, but the signature dish - the chicken - was quite dry. The atmosphere is generally nice but noisy.

Delicious food served within a pleasant atmosphere by friendly staff: definitely worth a visit. Just understand that on a Saturday, they are very busy.

The rice with seafood is delicious, the service is very good but the new manager with an unfriendly face makes us feel uncomfortable, it seems that Latinos dont like us, very bad

Excellent ceviche, the attention is super good, the dishes, in addition to being delicious, pay attention to detail in the presentation of the dishes. Congratulations, Ill come back

Looking for great food with different flavors, try Limon. You can t go wrong with any dish!

Friendly staff. Food was good. Indoor and outdoor seating.

The service/servers were awesome.

Good place to eat and enjoy with family.

Nice place with delicious Trio Ceviche I also had lycheemelon cocktail and it was a good refreshing cocktail perfect for my ceviche. Im just not impressed with their empanada sampler. Friendly servers and loud ambiance. Overall a great place to have dinner and cocktail.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED! Make a reservation to guarantee seating, friendly staff & food was beyond delicious! Food : 5/5

Delicious food, great service

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.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. It has authentic Peruvian food. I particularly like their ceviche and lomo saltado. It has a fun atmosphere on Friday and Saturday nights too.

Delicious food . But is you go with a date! Is hard to hear or communicate with other person. Too loud atmosphere. Is like a been a club!

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.

the paella was faccckkkkkked if i could leave a voice note i would show you just how good it was was. WOW

We really wanted to like this place, second time visiting and they put a half cooked dish on our table after 45min wait. When we told them that it s not cooked they took it to the kitchen and brought back a bad looking dish that still wasn t cooked and offered 25% discount for the dish that wasn t edible, it took them overall an hour to bring that half cooked dish. Such a horrible experience

Some of the best food I have ever had! In town for work and my husband and I had dinner here. Full of flavor and spices, the drinks are amazing and the service is great! It is a smaller place and very busy. It was a little hard to hear each other but other than that its great! We live almost 2 hours away and thats probably a good thing, we would be there all the time!

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.

Very good food and service

Delicious Peruvian food! Good place for big groups

Food was amazing. Music a little too loud and service a little slow.

Dining solo can be tough wanting to try as many dishes as possible. Ceviche is a must when at Peruvian restaurants. Chose fish only ceviche & a pisco sour to go with. Love the tanginess, dish was piled with many thick slices. Yums! Food

The el pirata and the lomo saltado were good and had great presentation! Service was fast and very friendly! I thought the music was too loud and it was difficult to have a conversation.

I love Peruvian food and I love Limón! The food was delicious, as always, and the service is very fast, which I love! The food came pretty quickly and we really enjoyed everything so much. I always love going back :) thank you!

Excellent roast chicken,empanadas, sweet potato fries!

Ceviche and veggie empanadas were delicious. Passion fruit pisco was also fantastic.

Really Good Food and Awesome Attention!!! Thanks

I dont think its very Peruvian, but its really pretty good. The aji sauce in particular is very good and the ceviche is exactly what you might expect. But really thats about the most Peruvian thing there. Most of the rest of it is more like Peruvian Asian fusion. If thats what youre going for though I think its a fine choice

Loved calamari + ceviche menu and drinks! Good vibe and food

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!

This is a must anytime Im in San Francisco

Average at best. Server said there was no bread to purchase to eat with dishes that looked more like a soup and payment rules. The veggie empanada was subpar.

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.

One of the best restaurants Ive ever been. Absolutely wonderful food and atmosphere. It was 2022 but I will be back soon definitely to check if its still valid.

Everything is so delicious here. My favorites are their chicken, ceviche, empanadas, and yuca frita.

Good food but way, WAY too loud and each persons food comes out when its ready, not all at once. Also they dont make it easy to split checks.

Really great Peruvian in the mission. The Pisco Sour was spot on, and the ceviche and lomo saltado had great flavor. The service was also excellent and attentive.

The food was quite overpriced and not that fantastic. They nickel and dime you for everything. Got the ceviche, chips were extra. Got the half chicken with 2 sides, the yucca fries as a side were 2$ extra and they gave us a whole 4 fries... Sauce to go with your dry chicken, extra. The service was fine, they were attentive and quick. However they were really pushy on trying to upsell everything.

The oysters, ceviche, and arroz con mariscos are amazing!

Difficult to hear the conversation of my partner but the food was a good balance between flavor and beauty.

Great ceviche and roasted chicken. The yellow ahi Amarillo sauce is delicious.

Love everything about Limon. Staff is super friendly and food is amazing.

The grilled chicken had neither salt nor flavor. I do not recommend bad service at all.

I have been to Limon numerous times throughout my years living in SF and I never have anything bad to say about this restaurant. However recently I came back and I can t believe they pulled a tourist trap on me. The server asked if I wanted still or sparkling water, and I asked for still. Which in all other restaurants in SF means tap water aka free water, not Bottled Still Water. She came back with an opened $7 Bottled Still Water - her defense was that it said still on the bottle. What a clown, I am not a tourist and experienced restaurants patron. It s pathetic to pull off something like this on local customers. Sorry to say it s Limon it s somewhat upscale, but you are not at the level of restaurant that will automatically sell Bottled Premium water to your customer as default. I ve been to numerous Michelin starred restaurants and they served tap still water when asked for still. After having the $7 water I realized the chicken are actually fairly bland now, nothing more special than the one sold at grocery stores. They removed the beef tounge and the crispy chicken with lime from the menu long time ago. Well no more reason to comeback.
