Ceviche , pan con salmon . The spicy is pretty spicy . They have $20 pitchers of mimosas . Don't sit under the skylight if you can help it; you'll be sweating by the time you finish.

Their traditional ceviche mixto is the best ceviche (actually one of the best fish dishes ) I've ever had! I want to try the others but I'll have a hard time not ordering this every time.

Happy hour from 5-7pm Tuesday-Friday. Their Pisco Sour is delicious and strong, but their sangria is an underrated star. Order the ceviche from the happy hour menu too.

Head to the newly re-opened Mochica for dinner tonight. After being closed for a few months, this Peruvian place is back with a bang in Potrero Hill . Their cocktail menu looks tasty too. Read more

We shared several dishes and they were all amazingly good! Totally recommend this restaurant for the great service and food.

My wife is Peruvian… and the food is Peruvian adjacent. Okay, at best. Missing the seasoning and flavors which made Peru famous for its cuisine.

Joel Antipuesto

Everything was yummy. Loved the lomo saltado , costillita de chancho, cebiche, and chicharrones . Oh, and the cocktails !

Bryan Hoffpauir

You must try the Chaufa Pork Belly - it's a large portion but your tummy & taste buds will be happy you did ????

The food and drinks were great! Empanadas , chicken and churros.However the service was super slow. Our server came by and said our food was coming numerous times and it never did. Killed our vibe

The Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta  is light yet luscious, served over fresh berries and passion fruit sauce. Read more

Additionally: I was charged $13 for a side of Yucca , 6 pieces. The breakfast omelette was $17. I feel ripped off by the server who offered an overpriced “side” and by the restaurant for that price.

Try Portero Scramble, it's delicious! A big bonus – they will serve your lunch on your time if you order with the Allset app.

I always get the half chicken . It's incredibly flavorful.

Everything is great, but the empanadas are standouts.

Ensalada chola good , plantain chips not good, ribs ok, lomo Saltado ok, ceviche was amazing

Jennifer Yip

The chorizo stuffed calamari has amazing flavors!!!!

Roy Scopazzi

The one thing that stood out is that I don't really like tomatoes , but the way they spice their's put a tear to my eye.

Brian Bulkowski

churros , pisco sour , spare ribs . this plane is under appreciated!

Mac and cheezzzzz

Brian Bilbo

The pisco sour was good

Erik Weber

Yucca fries with huancaina does not come with huancaina sauce. And when you ask for some, they charge you an extra dollar for it.

Angela Z.

Food is hit or miss, very very loud ! Have to shout to the person sitting across from you.

Bhavya Thyagarajan

Awesome place. Very personalized service, super knowledgable, and great selection of wines that most places don't carry. About 25% local wines, the rest sourced from around the world. - Tony Stuck
