Peruvian Restaurants near South San Francisco, CA

“We came here looking for a nice, quaint local restaurant. Stumbled on this gem and was not disappointed. Came in for a late lunch and had the place to ourselves. The owner was there and made us feel very welcome. Had great suggestions for meal choices and definitely hit the mark. Food was outstanding! Pricing was pretty much in line with what was expected for the quality and the location. Would definitely consider going back if the opportunity presents itself.“

“This place is all about the food. Ignore the menu, it's just there to provide familiar options. Talk to your server. They'll find something for you that will delight. The decor is standard diner decor, it isn't the point. The seating looks like something from the 1950s, but again, the seating isn't the point. The food is the point, and the food is delightful.“

“Everything that I got so so delicious“

“Wow, what an incredible dining experience! My friends and I went this weekend and were blown away by the food. We tried a variety of dishes from the menu and everything was so fresh and flavorful, it's clear they use high, quality ingredients. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. If you're looking for authentic and delicious Peruvian food with excellent service, this is the place to go!“

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

“What a find! On our way to international SFO flight, stopped in San Mateo and were delighted by the food, ambience and especially the hosts at La Ronda. The small touches like the crisp tablecloths and napkins, the warm welcome ... and then there's the food. Warm bread served with tasty butter and jalapeno sauce followed by the calamari and lomo saltado. Topped off by arroz con leche. What a beautiful late lunch. Thank you La Ronda for a fun food experience. We will make it a point to return.“

“Top Shelf, because the service is impeccable, the owner is selfless and extremely inviting, and the food is so very good. I am on the wagon, so I didn't indulge in the drink menu, but it looked fantastic. The atmosphere is intimate in the seating area, and vibrant in the bar space. It's a lovely establishment wher I will frequently dine.“

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

“Everything on the menu needs to be experienced.“

“Such a great menu! These guys are the best!“

“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.“

“Highly recommend is one of the best Peruvian food in the Bay Area , excellent service nice friendly service“

“SF Ceviche 19 rocked my world. Let me tell you…the staff, the food, the sides, the atmosphere was impeccable. Could not improve a single thing. Best ceviche in the city. Amazing for a date or fun outing. Would 100000% recommend. Also they have Inca kolas and that’s a vibe.“

“Delicious authentic Peruvian. Authentic for me means both quality and quantity. Real peruvian cuisine that you won't be hungry when you leave...unlike another highly regarded Peruvian restaurant in SF. I am Peruvian so I am usually a harsh critic when it comes to my people's cusine“

“So far, this is the best Peruvian restaurant in San Francisco. Despite being Colombian, I love Peruvian food even more, and I’ve tried many places—this one is truly special and traditional. It might not be the fanciest spot, but if you want real, authentic, and amazing Peruvian food, it’s a must.“

“La comida peruana y la comida china estilo peruano, son muy buenas.“

“They have the best Alfajores I’ve ever tried!“

“Great food and service was excellent. I would go back there again“

“Hard to find with only a small sign in the window. It is located in a coffee bar. The food was good. Order at the counter and food is brought to table. I went with 3 friends and we enjoyed our shared meal. Minus one star because I was overcharged and not given the happy hour price for the item I ordered.“

“Sizable menu with many options, including vegetarian options and some less common items, such as the potato and bean burrito (get it with extra fresh veggies, cheese, and salsas - it is much better than it sounds!) Almost everything is very customizable, but the posted menu in the restaurant does not list all of the options, so check the online menu and know what to ask for. Meal plates (chile relleno, enchilada, etc.) are ample and great for a solid meal after a day at the beach or hiking. Ask for the spicy salsa! They are currently expanding for more indoor seating, but many customers get their items to go. Ample parking in the Manor Plaza lot, and very conveniently located to Hwy 1 (Manor exit) if you are visiting Pacifica.“

“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!“
