Peruvian Restaurants near South San Francisco, CA

“We had dinner here after work event. We were the only ones in the restaurant, but it was early. The food was fantastic, the presentation was excellent, and the employees were very kind. I would definitely go here again, I had the ceviche it was superior. I also had a mango drink which was delicious. Parking can be a little tricky but we lucked out and pulled in right as somebody pulled out and were able to park right in front of the restaurant.“

“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! 🇵🇪🔥“

“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.“

“Everything that I got so so delicious“

“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.“

“I come here all the time, it’s some of the best Peruvian spot in the mission (and there’s quite a few!) and makes me feel at home. This is elevated but still feels like your grandma’s cooking. Vanessa and the other staff are always amazing!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The food was delicious! Good service we had a great time!“

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

“I'm Peruvian and the flavor is good, just a bit too salty and the chicha morada too sweet for our taste, but we're used to that with most Peruvian restaurants. If you don't mind that, definitely good place for peruvian food in sf.“

“Everything on the menu needs to be experienced.“

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

“Incredible food! Beautiful, refined atmosphere!! Stellar service from Eduardo and the rest of the staff!
I highly recommend the tuna sashimi, mixed seafood ceviche, the braised pork, the arrow con mariscos and the cherry sandwich for dessert! All phenomenal dishes!“

“The best Bang Bang Wings and the food it out of this world! 👌🏼“

“La Furia Chalaca is a lovely hidden gem on a somewhat run-down block near Jack London Square. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and creates a festive atmosphere, with salsa performances playing on the big-screen TV screen adding a real party vibe.

The welcome was warm and friendly, and small details like flavored water and complimentary French bread with butter are a nice touch.

The menu is extensive, though it would be helpful if the staff mentioned when certain dishes were unavailable. I initially ordered the papa relleno but was told afterward that they were out, and the suggested substitution of beef kebabs wasn’t what I had in mind and turned out to be pretty average.

But the ceviche pescado was delicious: fresh fish marinated in bright lime, served with yuca, sweet potato, and a spicy dipping sauce on the side. A great example of how refreshing and flavorful Peruvian ceviche can be.

Service timing was slightly unusual, though, as my main course arrived before the appetizer, but overall the experience was enjoyable.

This feels like a great spot for a festive meal, and I would definitely return.“

“Great empanadas!! It’s an awesome breakfast treat!“

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

“Awesome location, enjoy the view SFO skyline, good food & drinks...“

“Great healthy Mexican food. But pay attention to your bill. they over charged me for a burrito and when I mentioned it was an expensive at $31 I should have asked to see the receipt prior to leaving. It was not until I got home and looked at the receipt that I notice they overcharged me by $10. that is on me for not looking as I was in a rush to get out of there.“

“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!“

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