The food and drinks were fabulous. The ceviche was very fresh and tasty. The first player sampler was really good too. We will definitely be back.

I come here every time I come to SF, i will say it wasn't the expectation i usually have. I would critique the sides, maybe next time I'll switch it up. Chicken still tender! Vibes are cool!

10/10 for food, service, and ambiance! I've ordered takeout from here as well as eating in house and food has been bomb every time! Chifa veggies this day were zucchini, which was sautéed just right; not too soggy and not too hard. Saltado de pollo was delicious, and though my friend and I shared one dish I really wish I would've ordered another because it was so good!

Limón is always a good time with yummy foods and drinks. The empanadas are delicious and so is the trio ceviche. I always order the loma saltado and can't bring myself to order anything else for my main course. Haha the outdoor seating is always beautiful on a warm day.

Food based on delivery! Food arrived in a timely manner. Sweet potato fries were pretty soggy upon arrival and the Lomo Saltado was a bit dry but the juice that soaked up the rice was so tasty once i mixed it. * Sweet Potato Fries $7.00 * Lomo saltado: Traditional Peruvian favorite! Wok stir-fried beef tenderloin with onions, tomatoes in ginger-infused soy sauce, french fries & served with jasmine rice for $31.00 Add shrimp +$6. * Whole Chicken: Limon's famous open-flame marinated rotisserie chicken. Cut in 8 pieces for $32 * Platano Frito: Fried ripe plantains, sweet and sour vinaigrette. $10.00

Food is always delicious (Pollo y papas), service is great, and a nice moody lighting throughout. Highly recommended! Love this place. My only complaint is we sat downstairs and it smelled of cleaning solution (was a bit strong).

My boyfriend said this place was good so I was down to try it. This place was small but it was cute! We were immediately greet and were seated by the window. Our waiter provided us with some water. It took us a minute to order because we were looking over everything on the menu. Finally we were ready! We ordered the half rotisserie chicken which my boyfriend had before. Not sure why they don't have it on the menu. We also ordered sweet potatoes fries, a side of jasmine rice and a side of veggies (just zucchini). All the food was delicious! It's crazy there is one in Walnut Creek and it took me to go to SF to try it. I would definitely go back and try more items of their menu. I saw there was a short rib which sounds amazing. The parking is scarce around this restaurant but we got lucky and found a parking spot across the street.

Worse service ever the host/waitress and the bartender denied me a four top table because we were only 2. The table they wanted to seat us at was right next to another couple and i wanted to respect their space as well as our and was looking for a bit more privacy. The restaurant was fairly empty and slow so i didnt understand why they denied us the table that was the next one over. Then to top it off the sever brought us water and the glass was stained with red lipstick. I usually love the limon over in oakland and wanted to try the sf location since i was in the area but i was really let down by the poor service. O

Restaurant was quite busy for a Tuesday night, but were able to call ahead and make reservation on the day of. To start off happy hour items we got empanada sampler, margaritas and pisco sours. The drinks were strong and tasted good. The empanadas were ok and our server didn't even tell us which was each flavor. Also, from the piqueos, we got the truffle Mac and cheese, coliflor picante, and polli-papas. I couldn't really taste truffle and the sauce was liquidy. The cauliflower was not crispy and was drowned in spicy mayo. The chicken from the polli-papas was dry and uneventful. From the regular menu: ceviche lemon, lomo saltado, arroz con mariscos. I enjoyed the ceviche and next time would try the trio ganador! I've definitely had better lomo saltado before and the beef was cooked more than I prefer. The arroz con mariscos was on the saltier end and I felt the rice was mushy.

First plus is that Limon is open on Mondays. The food was good and plentiful. It took a little while for the service to commence, we were going to catch a plane that evening. Once I explained the time constraint to the Maitre d', they were very attentive. The room is open and pleasant, the music was inobtrusive so it was easy to talk. It was a nice experience and I will return.
