Social Profile:

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.

The food was like “bouquets” of seafood, the way they plattered it. I’ve had amazing seafood, but the seafood dishes we had at Limón were extraordinary! The color pops in the food presentation were just as vibrant as the Peruvian culture itself.

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!

Food was great, atmosphere was great, service was great. It was a great evening. It was my last night in the San Francisco area and did not expect to have such an outing. Definitely try the arroz con camarones, the pico on it might have a little kick, but well worth it. Make sure to also reserve a table ahead of time. It starts slow but picks up speed throughout the evening. Regardless, great experience and would definitely make time to make a stop when I fly out west again

One of my favorite restaurants. Their food is very good. Amazing. Normally, I order either a whole or half a chicken, a steak, paella, or pork belly chaufa. My favorite drink by far is their pisco sour, but I have also tried lychee sour, passion fruit sour, la clasica margarita,lychee melon and their sangria but my favorite is just the pisco sour.
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. 🙂

One of the good Peruvian restaurants in the bay area. I like the location and ample indoor-outdoor seating area.
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.

Best to come before it gets too packed; after that The music is too loud and the service can get a little spotty. All that said, we came around 4:00 p.m. great server great food and we were able to actually have a conversation.

Been to a couple locations of Limon now and their all decent. Ordered takeout this time and requested for no added salt. Order was ready in 20 mins

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

Service and atmosphere were nice. Food came super quickly. I got the pescado clásico and a pisco sour. The pescado was VERY salty and a little bitter. The pisco sour was okay – it had a little bit of that weird egg white smell and was also slightly bitter.
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.
