Peruvian Restaurants near Oakland, CA

“Went there for lunch today. So excited this lovely and DELICIOUS restaurant is in the east bay! The Peruvian cuisine was authentic and so well presented! The flavors were traditional yet with unique combinations. They have a lovely outdoor area in front and wonderfully friendly staff. We cannot WAIT to go back!!!“

“The BEST ceviche!! Our favorite East Bay restaurant. They perform fine dining touches without the high prices. Sit at the counter and watch the show. Super friendly staff, especially the adorable maitre d'. Everything on the menu is delish! All the wines are $60 and well-chosen to go w/the food. If we lived in the East Bay, we'd be regulars. LOVE THIS PLACE!!“

“Came here for a V day pre fixed meal. I wanted to try something different and having the pre fixed menu helped me decide. Food was great. Ceviche and Lamb and the tiramisu were delicious. I would like to come again and order from the full menu. Service was fast and pleasant even though they were packed. Waitress was engaging and even laughed at my husbands jokes.“

“The service was top notch. We told our waiter this one was our first time and he explained the menu for both food and drinks. He also opened the door for us when we exited. Service definitely gets 5 stars.

However, there’s something wrong with the price on the menu vs what you will be charged. We ordered from the lunch especial menu which says items were $ 17.99 but we were charged 20 for one item and 18 for other two dishes. And the beverages were supposed be $4 based on the menu but were charged $6. May be they updated the price and forgot to update the menu?

Anyways two of the dishes fried rice and Marinated pork dishes were very salty. The bed of pasta with fish was very good but I wished the fish was basked instead deep fried. Purple corn drink was pretty good the waiter said it will be sweet and it was. If you don’t have a sweet tooth, you don’t probably want it.

Will try again sometime in the future.“

“First time there…food and drinks amazing.. will definitely go back..👍🏽“

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

“El Rincón de Jorgito is a must in San Francisco if you’re craving authentic Peruvian food. From the moment you walk in, the service is warm and welcoming—like you’re being hosted by family.

And the food… wow. The ceviche is absolutely magical—fresh, bright, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor. The lomo saltado is to die for: tender, savory, and cooked just right. And the causa is amazingly delicious—creamy, flavorful, and the kind of dish you keep talking about after you leave.

Simple, honest, unforgettable Peruvian food with great portions and genuinely kind service. Highly recommend! 🇵🇪🔥“

“Absolutely amazing service food and ambience. My husband and I have been here multiple times and fall more in love with the staff, food and beautiful culture that Mariposas adds to SF! We travel from Hayward just to be here! They have become more like family to us.“

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

“Came here for a work luncheon. The ambiance is really nice. Very decorative. The service was great. I ordered the lobster enchiladas. It was good but a little bland.
When they brought out the food, they brought 1 of 5 entrees. After about 10 mins, they brought 3 more entrees. Unfortunately, I was the last one who had to wait for their food and I’m the slowest eater. I think it’s better to bring everyone’s dishes at the same time. I understand that they could be short staffed and they wanted the food to get out to the customer hot and fresh.
The prices are pretty too expensive for me. Every item was about $30+. It’s definitely not a place I’d just grab lunch for work. I think this place is best for a work luncheon or date.“

“Wow. Everything we ate here was fabulous and the cocktails were delicious. I especially loved how tasty and juicy the chicken chicharrones were.“

“The food was very good, everything was delicious, but the waitress served us reluctantly. The waitress's service was terrible. I didn't ask her name, but she was a young woman with black hair and bangs, a bit chubby. However, another waitress with red hair, thin and very friendly and cheerful, served us. I wish they would hire more waitresses like her. The food was very good, but the service from the waitress was terrible. Thank goodness the other waitress served us better.“

“Awesome location, enjoy the view SFO skyline, good food & drinks...“

“I rarely post reviews but had to chime in as this was such an outstanding experience with Lima Peruvian! I catered an event in my home and the food arrived on time, piping hot, carefully marked for ingredients and allergens and was just so delicious. I received countless compliments and requests from guests to find out where the food came from. The order included a mix of meat, meatless and vegan offerings that really hit the spot. In particular, the Loma Saltado, Aji de Gallina (Creamy Yellow Chicken), Seco de Pollo (Green Herb Chicken), Vegan Split Pea Amarillo and rice were outstanding. Thank you Lima Peruvian!“
