Brian Strauss

Loved it! With no good rotisseries in Oakland, we had to make the trip over. Fantastic chicken ! Excellent empanadas . Salad a bit over dressed . Grab a reservation on Open Table as it can get crowded

Alex Volkov

Amazing place! Get the sangria or the pisco for cocktail , and then start with truffle mac n' cheese ! After that go with a quarter chicken , and he'll get 2 sangrias and the chicken empanadas !

Sabina B.

The food here is divine, come famished. Aside from the chicken , the ceviche de pescado , paella , lomito saltado, and/or pork ribs are the way to go. Great for dates and groups (downstairs).

An Sheng

One of my favourite spots in the city . Amazing maracuya sour ???? green beans , yucca fries , mac ‘n cheese , ceviche , tuna .. oh and the chicken ????

Monica Neary

The Steak ! !!! Amazing! Ceviche ! !!!! Tuna Tar Tare, Sangria ! Empanadas ! The chicken ! But my god the sauces!!! French fries ! Root vegetables ! Amazing big group area downstairs! Course meal!

Joshua Haftel

Favorite rotisserie chicken ever. Also love the chicharron de pollo . Great value and atmosphere, just make sure to get reservations since they're usually packed.

Anton Shuster

I know, tacu-tacu is just beans and rice , but it's sooo good. Also, get some ceviche with you chicken . They balance each other out.

Katie Yamada

Seated an hour past our reservation . Ordered a ton of food and it started coming out within the next 10 minutes. Delicious. Chicken , sweet potato fries and shrimp ceviche , and use the sauces!

Clara Eloy

Very good food, fresh oysters and ceviche , good service , good drinks

Pacific Union

Limon Rotisserie's chicken is worth the drive down South Van Ness. Make sure to get a pitcher of Sangria to complete the experience!

Giovanna Jones

OMG the chicken & truffle mac is to die for! Also the sweet potato fries ! Get a whole chicken , trust me!

Josh Tiernan

One of the best meals I've ever had. Flavors/Quality/Service & Price coming together for an all-around great meal! We had the 'lomito' saltado, w/ a 1/2 chicken , veggies & tacu-tacu.

Elaine Courtney

Portions are a tad on the smaller side, be prepared to order more! Rotisserie chicken is an obvious choice - get dark meat, you won't regret it. Ceviche was surprisingly pleasant.

William Johnson

Delicious rotisserie chicken with flavorful sauces. Definitely spring for the truffle mac n cheese

Kris Vera-Phillips

Try the Chicharron de pollo - #kvpinmybelly : Crispy #chicken pieces marinated in garlic , aji and soy sauce . Served with a tangy sauce . Yum! Feels like a meal on its own.

Nancy Tran

Rotisserie chicken , sweet potato fries , and ceviche . Order cocktails and small plates to share with your group. Great for special occasions .

Marian Elbert

For two people: get the half chicken w/vegetales saleados, sweet potato fries , cerviche mixto and tartara de tune . Sangria . BOOM. Do it.

Dave

The ceviche was good, though he octopus wasn't everything I'd hoped it'd be. Stick to shrimp and fish .

Gaurav B.

Rotisserie chicken , fries , ceviche , pisco sour , can't go wrong with anything. Dinner wait can be a pain if no reservation .

Jamie

looks too crowded ? it's worth checking. there's a downstairs w/ full service (& more of a lounge vibe.) but watch chefs prepare yummy peruvian food in the giant mirror upstairs if you get a chance!

Fraser Harris

Oh god, so good. Tuna tartare , lomo saltado , yuca fries , vegetables saltado. Pair with a pisco sour !

Christina

Party of 10, had an 8pm reservation , probably got seated by 8:15pm, it is now 9:30pm and the waiter just walked up and asked us to leave because he has another reservation coming in!

Amanda Natividad

Chicharron de pollo is crispy and full of flavor. Sangria isn't particularly good (unless you really like sugar and fruit pieces mixed with red wine ).

Rustem Feyzkhanov

Chicken with fries and veggies

Jenny

This location has a large downstairs area. The rotisserie chicken and ceviche are tender and flavorful, but I might skip the empanadas

Adam

super rotisserie chicken . and oddly, truffle mac'n'cheese. a good place for group events too, they have a big downstairs thats quiet .

Rahim Hashim

Solid Peruvian. Portions were smaller than expected, but otherwise a good meal of half-chicken, ceviche , and lomo saltado

tiffany

Of course the chicken is a must. Fish ceviche and braised short ribs are also great. Lomo saltada is just okay.

Christiana

Their trio ceviche , pisco sour and roasted chicken with yucca fries are to die for!

Timothy Hong

Share the rotisserie chicken with sweet potato fries and sautéed veggies . Pretty affordable and good for a quick meal .

Deepak Chander

An excellent place to taste South American cuisine . Their house Sangria isn't to be missed

Fabien Gomez Ruiz

The chicken is really tasty and the truffle macaroni and cheese is amazing. Service was perfect.

Owen Haupt

I mean, the chicken is bomb, and everything else was tasty. Pisco drum cocktail selection is nice too.

Martin Cunanan

Rotisserie chicken , beef tongue , ceviche de pescado and tres leches .

Ceviche and chicken are amazing. Shrimps with tacu tacu a nice comfort food .

Jiexi Cao

Best rotisserie chicken . Ceviche , paella , and sweet potato fries are also good.

Ernesto Gonzalez

Jalea and the empanada de pollo are amazing!!!

Jose Palomares

Chicken is overrated IMO, and overpriced unless you get the whole thing to share. Go with the Peruvian specialties and pisco flavors!

Therese Golias Collins

Denis is a fantastic bartender . Try the seafood mixto ceviche and rotisserie chicken .

Mario Estrada

The chicken so juicy but it's the yuca side with their delicious sauces and ceviche that make my heart happy.

Matthew L

Rotisserie chicken , of course, and the Chicha Morada is perfect!

David Urista

Great chicken , Mac and Cheese plate is bomb. Mint XI drink is great! Sangria is too watered down and the service is horrible...

Jenny Dorsey

Try the 1/2 Chicken - #moist #juicy #rotisserie #chicken but the best part was the #sweetpotatofries #nomnomnom #food #sanfrancisco

Danilo Jesus

I love it!!! oh my god the grilled chicken is the best!!! 30 people waiting outside

Kyle Minor

It may be all about the amazing chicken here, but DO NOT MISS the empenadas! Best I've yet had in the city -- especially the beef . Read more

Jacob Rosenberg

Everything fantastic - the ceviche was especially tasty!

Marc Singer

The most popular dish is the chicken . I had a shrimp dish that was also good.

Amit Jain

The chocolate cake is incredible!

Chicken is bomb! Everything is actually. Call for reservations , waits can be long without.
