Pretty good brunch, and you can still order off the regular menu, too. Grab a few friends, and order a whole chicken with tacu tacu and truffle mac.Upvoted 5 days ago
Tim MacalinoJanuary 10, 2018Pulpo a La Parilla.(Grilled Mediterranean octopus, chimichurri, Yucatan potatoes, aji amarillo anticuchera sauce). AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!
- Ali Uro-MayAugust 1, 2016Best rotisserie chicken around, yuca fries are delicious. Their sauces are so good. Love this place!
Gus MMarch 12, 2016Not pretentious, delicious, date friendly restaurant. Love the food. One of the best Peruvian I found outside Peru
DanielJuly 8, 2016Order the rotisserie chicken, one of the best deals in the city. Comes with delicious sauces
One of the best deals in the city. Recommend the chicken, lomo saltado, mac, and beef empanadas. May reservations and get ready to be well fed.
Katie YamadaSeptember 27, 2015Food is actually amazing. Get a whole/half chicken (so tender and surprisingly flavorful), yuca and sweet potato fries are fantastic - the white sauces you get are the best ones. Ceviche was top notch
Emily KaneOctober 13, 2015Come hungry and be prepared to share one of everything. The chicharron de pollo was a sleeper hit. I want to bathe in the aji sauce trio.
VicAugust 22, 2018The ceviche was excellent and the empanadas really tasty!!This would be a heart if the place wasn’t so loud that you have to shout to be heard.Calm down people :)
Marie PorrasOctober 23, 2017Everything is just excellent. The Ceviche. The tongue. The Octopus. Were All amazing. And obviously they have an excellent Pisco Sour. Love this place.
Essa SharafMarch 12, 2014Excellent food! Amazing experience everything with chicken was amazing! Least we ate was the sweet potato because the Peru-an potato is much better!
Shagun AulakhDecember 21, 2014It's a little pricey given all the great, cheap and authentic Latin places in the mission. The ceviche is fresh and spicy. Can't go wrong with the chicken or lomo saltado
Megan AllisonMarch 27, 2018Ceviche with Alipus mezcal and Pollo a la Brasa with a Malbec. Friendly service, on OpenTable, close to wherever you're going in the mission. Standby.
Hani AlshehriOctober 5, 2017Among all the restaurants in SF this stands out. Quinoa Salad, Lomo Saltado, Carne a la Parrilla 👍🏼
Sibel AkcekayaDecember 7, 2014Ceviche is must As an appetizer then chicken is the signature dish and is very good.As a side dish vegetables and sweet potato fries were so yummy
Sam AzeemJuly 28, 2013This place was amazing.... Everything I tried was very good. The de lingua and the beef hearts were just extremely tasty. I recommend this place without hesitation.
Otávio Dib PartezaniAugust 23, 2018Empanadas, ceviche, pollo asado and they were so nice of giving us free sangrias for being late in giving us the table to seat!
NicoleApril 21, 2012Pleasantly surprised to see that this location has the rotisserie chicken now! Had it with sweet potato and yuca fries! Yum! Also, if you like spicy, ask them for their spicy sauce.
Ms HeleneJanuary 5, 2020Ceviche sampler of 3 for $24, plus taro chips $3, side salad $5, skip tuna tartar $15 & grilled octopus $15.
Anna KOctober 9, 2014Be sure to make a reservation, but be willing to wait even if you do - we waited 40 minutes to get seated. Amazing sangria somewhat made up for it.
Zeenat KathiyaNovember 13, 2012Truffle Mac & Cheese, rotisserie chicken WITH 3 sauces and slow cooked braised short ribs .... Need I say more? And I didn't even mention the ceviche... Absolute perfection. That's all.
Pavan KulkarniMarch 5, 2018Chicken quarter dark or the pollo dish with saffron rice. The mustard sauce is amazing . Get the pisco sour. Fritas were ok.
Great chicken and decent for paleo food as you can have it with a decent ensalata and delicious Chile green beans.- Amy RappaportSeptember 5, 2014Get the ceviche and the truffle Mac and cheese. Share a half chicken, with great sauces. Try the chilcano for a fun and different cocktail!
Mauricio CandamilFebruary 9, 2016I really loved the rotisserie chicken and the jalea. The sauces are very good. Recommended dessert: bread pudin.- ᴡ GMarch 23, 2013The mac n cheese is hella bomb! And u can't go wrong with the mixed ceviche and ahi tartare. Pretty good sangrias too!
NoeyJune 27, 2016The chicken! Perfect. The ceviche mixto was also incredible (and huge!), as was the Peruvian salad.
Kevork KazanjianJanuary 2, 2015The mixto ceviche was scrumptious and the roasted chicken very succulent. But my absolute favorite was the lomito soltado.
Rehi AlaganarJanuary 26, 2012Possibly the best chicken I've ever had. Super tender and flavorsome. Sweet potato fries were great too, especially eaten with the dips that came with the chicken:-)
Cameron WJuly 3, 2015The chicken is amazing and the ceviches are also top notch. The sweet potato fries were excellent.
Santiago DuarteSeptember 5, 2014Very modern and cool Peruvian restaurant. try everything: ceviches, lomo saltado, causa limeña, tapas
Annie ChowMay 27, 2016We love the favors of each dishes. The chicken was awesome. Yuca fries is a must.
Çağatay AydınMay 4, 2017try the rotisserie chicken and tacu tacu, its best!! go with the cristal peruvian beer..
Amy RobinsonAugust 29, 2014Really enjoyed the chicken with the vegetable side, sweet potatoes and three sauces. Very tasty.
Sabina B.September 19, 2014Great for groups. The ceviche de pescado and paella were super good in addition to the chicken (obvi).
Lea Dessi-OliveJanuary 31, 2015Great for sharing. Decent gluten free options. Get the whole chicken, it comes with 2 sides
Benjy WeinbergerMay 27, 2015Get the... Everything. If you like bold delicious flavor combinations. For bland food go elsewhere.
Krishna ZulkarnainDecember 11, 2015I tried the cheviche and it was amazing. The roast chicken is huge and very succulent
Filipe FortesOctober 12, 2012Paleo options - Apps: Various Ceviches and salads; Mains: Roasted Chicken, Grilled Hangar Steak, Beef Heart
Jennifer SlotnickJanuary 11, 2015Red snapper ceviche and roasted chicken was so delicious! Can't wait to go back!
JennyDecember 8, 2014It's really loud in here. On the basis of ambiance, I liked the one at Van Ness and 21st better.
- Decent chicken. Quite good for paleo people as you can get half a chicken, beans and a salad with almost no carbs at all for twenty bucks.
Don’t get the mixed ceviche, any one on its own is great enough. Don’t forget the empanadas!
Almudena SoleraJune 17, 2017Food was delicious. Service was appaling. They told us waiting list was 25'/30' after 1hour and20' they gave us a table. As a consequence we did not leave a tip
