“Wide variety of Peruvian treats especially fried plantains and pisco chilcanos“

“The food is sooooo good and delicious with a very nice ambiance and atmosphere in their patio dining ..“

“El Mono is absolutely fantastic. I took one bite and instantly fell in love with the dish I ordered (tallarin Saltado). Matt and the staff are absolutely wonderful and made it feel like a trully welcoming establishment. The truth is that I felt every bite warm my soul and made me feel more at ease. Being able to feel calm and enjoy such an amazing meal is something special, and El Mono is special!! something you have to experience.“

“MY BEST DINING EXPERIENCE IN SF SO FAR (and I have lived here for a year)!
The food was so tasty and authentic. The drinks were perfection. And the servers and bartender really are fantastic. They make you feel like you are part of the family!
We also had a celiac friend and they were so accommodating in making different modifications so that dishes could be gluten free!!“

“Great experience. The food is beautiful and delicious. As soon as you walk in you know you’re in for a treat as so much has been done to make this a beautiful space and the service is top notch. We had the Pave Potatoes to start which came out like a color sculpture with perfectly crispy edges and soft insides draped in a bright orange pepper sauce. The entrees were good sized portions, rich in flavor and plated well. Their Pisco sour was spot on and the Lucuma ice cream was a great way to finish the meal“

“The food was amazing. The ceviche appetizer was fresh with delicious flavors, the mains as delicious. This is a darling little place with a very attentive staff. Parking was easy to find on College Ave. we will definitely be going back soon!!!“

“El Dorado was a wonderful experience. The ceviche is awesome. We also had the arroz criollo which we couldn't stop eating. My son also had the churros with Chocolate sauce for dessert and loved it. If you are staying in the Union Square area and want to get away from the touristy restaurants, this restaurant is an easy 3-4 block walk and definitely worth it.“

“We love this place. The quality of the food and service is simply the best. I can’t say enough about the food, it is Fantastic!
We like La Mar Cocina Peruana but Altamirano is right there, perhaps some entrees are even better.
My Wife and I had a wonderful time here. We highly recommend it!“

“Food is some of the best Peruvian home cooking I’ve ever had in the states and is a must try. The lomo saltado (steak and rice) and chaufa mariscos (seafood fried rice) were great. We highly recommend the goat and ceviche Classico. The chicha Moreno was not too sweet; just right. Their salsas were also super flavorful, but you may need to ask for them.“

“We recently had the pleasure of dining at a Peruvian restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The food was exceptionally yummy and left us feeling wonderfully satisfied. Our server provided great service, attending to our needs with a friendly demeanor. The overall atmosphere of the establishment was warm and inviting, making for a very pleasant evening. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking authentic and delicious Peruvian cuisine.“
