Family Owned Peruvian Restaurant Executive chef, Martín Castillo, and his brothers, Antonio and Eduardo, grew up around a busy kitchen. Their mother, Luz, was well known in her neighborhood for her delicious cooking: her son’s friends would always ask her to make their families a dish on special occasions. By the 1990’s the Castillo brothers had left Perú and found themselves in the U.S. They continued their ritual of cooking home-style Peruvian dishes out of their apartment for family, friends and, soon enough, friends of friends. It was then that they knew there was something worth sharing. By 2002, the Castillo’s first restaurant, “Limón” opened its doors on 17th Street in the Mission District of San Francisco.

Some of those dishes were enough for two. The combo appetizer alone could’ve been a meal. Plus their cocktails – whoa! Can I call them healthy? Ahaaaha, well their mocktails certainly were.
We had wonderful service by informative waiters. The feel is what I’d call elegant casual. All the decor on their walls and tiling around their bar area are beautiful!
Limón in Burlingame is well-located in a corner with entrances on both facing streets. It’s right behind a parking lot and directly across additional parking closer to the water. A good amount of indoor and outdoor seating is accessible.
This area is hoppin’! Surrounded by local specialty shops, more restaurants, and bakeries – anyone living in the neighboring residential streets are mighty lucky! I am giddy over this dining experience!
Another good dinner tonight by far what I would consider one of my favorite restaurants.

Went to my favorite restaurant for dinner tonight. omg. They were so busy today on a weeknight. It shows I wasn’t wrong. Their service, food and drinks is very good. We ordered: Parilla platter, paella and pork belly chaufa. Omg . So good. For drinks we ordered the regular pisco sour. Today on my pisco sour I had a happy face on my pisco sour for happy hour from the bartender. 🙂

Wanted to eat at one of my favorite locations: as usual, the location was busy but we were always well taken care of, by entire Limon staff as usual. We ordered: Parilla platter, Entire fried Fish with sauce on the side, Pork Belly Chaufa and Jalea. For drinks: Pisco Sour. Omg. By far, one of the best pisco sour in the entire Bay Area. My personal opinion of course. I will be back soon. 🙂
The food was excellent and had no issues whatsoever with my order.the dessert was amazing as well.
The service was okay and drinks were average.
The food was yum. The empanadas sampler, pork belly fried rice, Chicken quarters were amazing. The fries and salad were not fresh.
Lomo saltado $34 was ok, one of the most popular Peruvian dishes, but I find it basic. Like a stir fry dish. Steak is good quality, but portion was a bit small
Arroz con mariscos $34 is good, but a bit salty. Quality seafood and a generous portion. Similar to a paella
Half chicken $24 was decent and great value for the amount of food. Comes with a choice of 2 sides. We chose a salad and fries. Breast meat was dry, but all the other pieces were good. Great flavor and seasoning. Salad and fries were basic
Empanada sampler $24 was good. I believe it’s the fried kind. Medium sized and their all loaded with fillings. All flavors were good, but chicken was my least favorite
Very popular place with indoor and outdoor seating. Best to make a reservation if dining in
I let the server know about the extreme saltiness of the food and he said he would let the kitchen know but didn’t offer anything to rectify the situation.
I personally wouldn’t try this place again but I’ve definitely had much worse food and service.
