The chicken meal at Limon Rotisserie might just be one of the best deals in town . Choose from a quarter, half or whole Peruvian-style roasted bird which comes with two sides and three sauces. Read more

Sarah

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 .

Tim Macalino

Pulpo a La Parilla.(Grilled Mediterranean octopus , chimichurri , Yucatan potatoes , aji amarillo anticuchera sauce). AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!

Ali Uro-May

Best rotisserie chicken around, yuca fries are delicious. Their sauces are so good. Love this place!

David R

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 Yamada

Food 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

Gus M

Not pretentious , delicious, date friendly restaurant . Love the food. One of the best Peruvian I found outside Peru

Emily Kane

Come 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.

Daniel

Order the rotisserie chicken , one of the best deals in the city . Comes with delicious sauces

Marie Porras

Everything is just excellent. The Ceviche . The tongue . The Octopus . Were All amazing. And obviously they have an excellent Pisco Sour . Love this place.

Vic

The 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 :)

Shagun Aulakh

It'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 Allison

Ceviche 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.

Essa Sharaf

Excellent food! Amazing experience everything with chicken was amazing! Least we ate was the sweet potato because the Peru-an potato is much better!

Sam Azeem

This 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.

Sibel Akcekaya

Ceviche 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

Hani Alshehri

Among all the restaurants in SF this stands out. Quinoa Salad , Lomo Saltado , Carne a la Parrilla ????????

Anna K

Be 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.

Tom Coates

Great chicken and decent for paleo food as you can have it with a decent ensalata and delicious Chile green beans .

Amy Rappaport

Get 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 Candamil

I really loved the rotisserie chicken and the jalea. The sauces are very good. Recommended dessert : bread pudin.

Ms Helene

Ceviche sampler of 3 for $24, plus taro chips $3, side salad $5, skip tuna tartar $15 & grilled octopus $15.

Zeenat Kathiya

Truffle 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 Kulkarni

Chicken quarter dark or the pollo dish with saffron rice . The mustard sauce is amazing . Get the pisco sour . Fritas were ok.

Nicole

Pleasantly 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 .

Rehi Alaganar

Possibly 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 :-)

Noey

The chicken ! Perfect. The ceviche mixto was also incredible (and huge!), as was the Peruvian salad .

Tim Macalino

The rotisserie chicken is a must!!

Rob Atkinson

Everything is good, get a group and a whole chicken . Reasonably priced

Otávio Dib Partezani

Empanadas , ceviche , pollo asado and they were so nice of giving us free sangrias for being late in giving us the table to seat!

Cameron W

The chicken is amazing and the ceviches are also top notch. The sweet potato fries were excellent.

Kevork Kazanjian

The mixto ceviche was scrumptious and the roasted chicken very succulent. But my absolute favorite was the lomito soltado.

Santiago Duarte

Very modern and cool Peruvian restaurant . try everything: ceviches , lomo saltado , causa limeña, tapas

Annie Chow

We love the favors of each dishes. The chicken was awesome. Yuca fries is a must.

Juan Arreguin

Everything here is just amazing!

Chicken is great but the steak is equally good. Yucca fries as a side is a must.

ᴡ G

The mac n cheese is hella bomb! And u can't go wrong with the mixed ceviche and ahi tartare . Pretty good sangrias too!

Sabina B.

Great for groups . The ceviche de pescado and paella were super good in addition to the chicken (obvi).

Çağatay Aydın

Red snapper ceviche and roasted chicken was so delicious! Can't wait to go back!

Lea Dessi-Olive

Great for sharing. Decent gluten free options . Get the whole chicken , it comes with 2 sides

Filipe Fortes

Paleo options - Apps: Various Ceviches and salads ; Mains: Roasted Chicken , Grilled Hangar Steak , Beef Heart

Benjy Weinberger

Get the... Everything. If you like bold delicious flavor combinations. For bland food go elsewhere.

Kian Lavi

Don’t get the mixed ceviche , any one on its own is great enough. Don’t forget the empanadas !

Almudena Solera

Food 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

Tom Coates

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.

Douglas Gray

Come for the chicken , stay for the ceviche . Enjoy it family style .

Ugur Kaner

Delicious yet expensive Peruvian food . Try the tongue , you wont regret.
