Came on a Saturday night and there was no wait. We got the ceviche mixto, lomo saltado, and chicharron de pollo. The portions were a good size. The ceviche was fresh and the sauce was just the right amount of tangy. The plantain chips were also tasty and fried really well. The lomo saltado had good flavor, however the steak was dry and tough. The rice and fries really soaked up the flavor of the sauce. The fried chicken was seasoned perfectly, however the meat was also really dry. The dishes were on the pricey side, however every dish had amazing flavor.

Wonderful restaurant, food was great and service was friendly and impeccable.❤? It's a shame that they are closing their doors permanently at the Irving Street one.... I guess I must now visit the Noe Valley one ?❤

My husband and I came here for brunch with a noon reservation indoors. I heard about this place from a reels video on IG and wanted to check them out.Ambiance: Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Inside had upbeat music playing that had just the right amount of volume. People definitely prefer to sit outside since we originally were the only ones seated inside until about 10 minutes into our stay. Service: We got seated immediately. We originally thought there was only going to be one specific server, but majority of the staff introduced themselves throughout our experience and were happy to help or take our order. They definitely care about your dining experience because they checked on us about 3 times while we were eating. Everyone is friendly and caring.Food: We got 2 appetizers - chicharrón de pollo and ceviche chifa - and 2 entrees - arroz con mariscos and the lomito libre. Everything was delicious. When we started eating the appetizers, we definitely knew the entrees were going to be just as good. Everything had great flavor, was well balanced, and there was more than plenty to eat. They are very generous with the amount of food that they give and do not shy away from the amount of protein in the dishes either. The ceviche had a lot of fish and the arroz de mariscos had a lot of seafood. Overall, my husband and I would come here again and try more of their food. Definitely a gem and worth a try.

Very good Peruvian food: empanadas, chicken rotisserie, beef w/fries+rice (real winner with the guys), chicken in walnut/sauce. Great nonalcoholic drink options. Very friendly & accommodating service.

Fresca Restaurant, he says it's one of the best rotisserie chicken joints in the city. I came down to Corta Madera to eat with my pal Ol Buckethead Joe, maybe grab some seafood in Sausalito or something, and he tells me we gotta go across the bay to a Restaurant called Fresca. I told him I'm not parking my truck in SF without my little helper sitting in the front seat, because nobody puts their hand in the truck with him growling at them. The Uber cat took us right there and Ol Buckethead was right, that rotisserie chicken was amazing! As a matter of fact it was so good I got one to go. ☆☆☆☆☆

We came here for Happy Hour on Wednesday. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server was so sweet and the gentleman behind the bar came to check in to see if everything tasted good. The food and drinks were really good! We ordered the calamari - definitely ask for extra side sauce. It was yummy! We got the empanadas and they came 2 to an order. We split the burger. It had plantains on it and we added an egg. It was delicious. We also had the salmon sashimi with plantains. I could've done without the plantains but the sashimi was done so well with just the right spice. We also ordered some drinks from their happy hour menu. The pisco sour is a safe bet and always one of my favorites. The pisco punch is very tart. I didn't mind it but expected it to be more fruity. We also got a vodka martini with olives, which was strong but went down smooth. Everything we had was great and service was fantastic so we'll definitely be back.

A friend referred me to this restaurant. I had walked by it many times without noticing it as there are many restaurants in this area. Three of us came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It is a short walk from the San Francisco County Fair Buildings in Golden Gate Park. We chose to eat outside, in the protected sidewalk area. It was nice and warm on a windy and cool but sunny day. Service was prompt. Two people had salads - Toro Steak salad and Pollo Campechano salad - and they received favorable reviews. One friend ate every bite of her salad. I had Aji de Gallina, which was pulled chicken breast in a delicious sauce with a couple of browned roasted potato pieces, some walnuts, olives and rice. Extremely good. I took half of it home for the next day and it heated up nicely. We drank water, so can't fill you in on the drinks. The only downside is the buses constantly going by, but they weren't really noisy or smelly. I am looking forward to going back for dinner soon.

There are not enough words to describe the experience at Fresca Nuevo... It's is truly an experience. My lovely Bride and I shared a Pisco Sour, Ceviche Carretillero and the Salmon Cesar (so very good). And topped the lunch off with dessert of the Peruvian donut!Just go experience and enjoy!You're welcome...
This restaurant is friendly and have Happy Hours menu with variety of selection from oysters, ceviche to burgers and fries. Definitely family and friends oriented, we love coming here on Friday nights. They have outdoor seating and comfort indoors setup. My son particularly love their Salmon Tacu Tacu, which has tons of seafood and toppings.

We started with the Ceviche Tiradito, followed by the Caesar Salad, and the Grilled Octopus. Both the ceviche and octopus were outstanding dishes. The ceviche was very flavorful, and the pieces of octopus were incredibly succulent. I highly recommend both dishes.

This was our first time at Fresca, it will not be our last. We had the salmon ceviche, chicken skewers and paella. Tue flavors were incredible, sauces complex and everything was fresh. I will try their signature cocktails next time as they looked amazing. Service was great, attentive even though it was busy. Very lively environment so med/loud noise. Overall wonderful, I've airway made our next reservation!

Outstanding Pisco Sours, Ceviche' and empanada appetizers. We were in a hurry to get to a show and they were very accommodating. Friendly and efficient staff. Adobo and Paella dishes were well received. We'll be back!

We ALWAYS ALWAYS love dining here. We have our favorite server Cesar taking such good care of us. Not to mention Maria and Omar too. They made our last dining experience top shelf. The happy hour is so worth the value. We get to try different things and share. One of our discoveries is their kick butt burger. Super delicious with a fried egg and plantain. 10 stars for service with a smile and 10 stars for delicious food. Thank you!
