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.“

“The parihuela de mariscos, anticuchos, tallarines verdes con carne and pescado sudado were all good, well served plates. The empanada the day I went there was not well prepared… the chicha morada was very good and the dessert lucuma ice cream was excellent.“

“Came here for dinner. This is a Peruvian restaurant, and the menu does the classics: empanadas, anticuchos, lomo saltado, pollo a la brasa, the whole rotisserie chicken program.

The cocktails were good. We started with the empanadas, which had a lot of flavor packed into them, well seasoned, not just a pastry shell with filler. The pollo chicharrones (deep fried chicken nuggets, basically) were also solid, crispy exterior, juicy inside, properly seasoned rather than relying on dipping sauce to do the work.

For my main I got the lomo saltado. The beef was cubed and tender, and the brown sauce had real depth to it, savory without being one-note. Everything I ordered was well prepared, no notes, no surprises, just good execution across the board.
The vibe inside is laid back and a little goofy in a good way. The floor is covered in astroturf, there are decorative butterflies all over the walls (fitting, given the name), and they had the World Cup playing. It's not trying to be a serious dining room, and it doesn't need to be.

Good food, good drinks, fun room. Would come back.“

“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! 🇵🇪🔥“

“We had two events here recently and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was great to work with, the owner and his wife were both there to make sure everything went smoothly. Their event manager was great to work with and it was a very streamlined process. The food was excellent, drinks were great, and the restaurant had fun decor. We received so many compliments on the venue and food from our attendees. We will definitely be going back for future events.“

“The ceviche is my favorite dish here! The fish is always incredibly fresh, perfectly marinated, and full of flavor. I love the traditional sides of sweet potato, corn, and crunchy toasted corn that make the dish complete. Every bite tastes fresh and authentic. If you’re visiting for the first time, I highly recommend trying the ceviche.“

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

“We’ve been eagerly waiting for this to open. Managed to book a spot during its soft opening. Giving them a bit of grace as they work through kinks. They really did a great job with the spot. I ordered the maracuya pisco sour which had passion fruit. It wasn’t sickly sweet and it tempered the sour if you’re not too keen. We split the dungeness crab causa. They had a potato masher to mash the purple potato. We ordered lomo soltado and thai salmon. The rice that came with the lomo soltado had a few pieces of the giant corn. It was noticeably delicious but not enough to sop up the juice with the lomo soltado. I would have ordered more but wanted to bring some leftovers so it was fine. We split the churro ice cream sandwich which was delicious but you have to eat quickly because the ice cream melted. I had the lucuma tiramisu which was sooo good. Never had lucuma before but it was good. Glad that I ordered it.
Someone ordered the sophi sashimi which came in a glass dome and lots of smoke. Lots of smoke that lingered and smelled like camp fire. Great presentation but a bit much after effects. Overall, great experience albeit a bit on the pricey side. Will come back again once they’ve worked out the kinks.
Update: Been coming here for the happy hour. Great cocktails and nibbles for $10-13 or so. Definitely worth checking out.“

“La comida authentica. The food is delicious, authentic, and the people working there put a lot of care into their drinks and dishes. For sure try the Anticuchos (beef), and the fried fish in the Jalea Bites was amazing too. It was all great. Have to check it out and will def go back.“

“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!“

“Amazing Latin American authentic flavors. Karaoke 🎤 with music from all over the world. Brasilero songs, Argentina everything and all kinds of English playlist for top tier experience.
Top class yet very affordable.

Treat yourself, even if you're on a budget and impress your people at this Gem of a place.
You can thank me later 😉😎
