Peruvian Restaurants near Oakland, CA

“I can’t recommend this place enough. Fresh, creative food, smartly sequenced, brilliant cocktails. Traditional enough to satisfy those who are familiar with Peru looking for nostalgic flavors while not being so by-the-book as to stifle creativity. Go!“

“We met for brunch on Sunday and tried everything on the menu —Chicken and Waffle; Savory Pancakes;Chilaquiles; Sweet Waggle and Sando sandwich. Tries all cocktails Michelada, Pucquio Fizz; Chicharrón o'roni; Lamborghini, Mimosa and coffee. presentation , company space was divine. Carlos is talented and lovely. Give them a try.“

“Mom and Pop eatery. They will treat you like family. Tiny place very little room but they have seating outside. Great Peruvian selection. Awesome burger Who Knew? The food is made to order so order in advance for pickup. Food made from scratch patience is key. 20 to 30 minute wait just for food. Just like home cooked meals. We are planning on going back for sure.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Criss was our amazing waiter! Friendly and fast service. The ambience was welcoming and buzzing on a Saturday evening. We’ve tried different Peruvian restaurants and have also been to Peru a few times so this place was a gem to find. The Lomo Saltado was the perfect nostalgic dish. I know where you revisit. Thank you!“

“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.“

“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!“
