“The burrito was really delicious and packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The tortilla was soft and warm, and the filling had a great combination of meat, rice, beans, and toppings. Everything was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the portion was generous and filling. The flavors all came together really well, making every bite satisfying. Overall, it was a great burrito, and I would definitely order it again.“

“The food was absolutely amazing. It's very hard to find a carribean or South American restaurant in San Francisco without them incorporating Mexican food. This place definitely takes the cake. They did a great job bringing flavor and authencity to every dish . Although the options in the menu are fairly safe options to the American man they're just awesome. The only reason I won't rate this space a five star is because of the space. The place is cramped and the seating is very uncomfortable.“

“First night in San Francisco and utterly exhausted after lack of sleep getting here we staggered out to an early dinner ( early here- 2am where we just came from). We must have looked like halfwits, probably confirmed by us choosing what we realised after was the one unset and not yet cleaned table in the whole place! The waitress was patient and didn’t make us feel any more idiotic than we already felt. The food was really fab too. I had my favourite sort of thing - lots of little bits to try as many dishes as possible - while my partner had arepas. We only have a few nights staying near here but I very much hope i can persuade M to have a repeat dinner here!“

“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!“

I enjoyed the papusas here, except I think they are a little too salty for my taste, maybe it’s the salt of the cheese they use not sure, otherwise they are delicious. I ordered two cheese and two mixed. Not a ton of meat in the mixed. Very light stuffing. The sauce they give you is not that spicy at all.“
