I had lunch here for the first time and was truly impressed. The interior is beautifully designed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was excellent—attentive and friendly. And the food? Absolutely amazing! Every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. For vegetarians – Flor Del Huerto is a must have. Plenty of options for non-vegetarians and they have a separate drink menu too. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Did I visit this restaurant twice in one day? Yes I did!! Came here for a holiday lunch on a Friday and then later when my friends were looking for somewhere to meet for happy hour, I suggested this place. Can’t get enough! Fabulous cocktails and mocktails and of course the food is amazing. The only thing I didn’t care for was the pork belly. Everything else was lovely, especially the paella. Great addition to the Redwood City food scene!

Beautiful new spot in Redwood City! The ambiance is a touch of elegance. Our server was amazing super friendly, attentive, and he knew the menu inside out.
We had the tuna tartare, meat rolls, ribeye (perfectly medium rare), seafood rice (arroz con mariscos), and the most incredible tres leches for dessert. Everything was flavorful and well presented.
Perfect place for a night out with friends or a special celebration. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

Limon is a wonderful addition to downtown RWC. The food is delicious, though I wish there were more vegetarian options (a vegan ceviche made with corn would be amazing!). I’ve been several times & have tried all of the vegetarian dishes- they’re all incredible. I also highly recommend the chicha morada sour- one of the best cocktails in RWC in my opinion.

Limón Redwood City never fails to impress, delivering an exceptional dining experience marked by outstanding service and consistently fantastic dishes. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Peruvian cuisine or exploring it for the first time, this restaurant stands out as a must-visit destination.
We started with the Mixto Clásico, a beautifully balanced ceviche featuring Pacific red snapper, calamari, and shrimp, all bathed in a vibrant clásico leche de tigre. The freshness of the seafood combined with the bright citrus and just the right amount of heat made it an outstanding start. Their Taro Chips, made fresh daily, were the perfect crispy and slightly sweet accompaniment, adding a delightful contrast in texture.
The Jalea was another highlight—perfectly crispy, lightly battered shrimp, calamari, and fish, served with crispy yuca fries, salsa criolla, and a yuzu aioli that added a refreshing tang. The presentation was so tempting that we barely had time to take photos before diving in.
For the main courses, the Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian classic, was flavorful, with wok-stir-fried beef tenderloin, tomatoes, onions, and a ginger-infused soy sauce, all served with fries and jasmine rice. While still enjoyable, the beef had a slightly liver-like taste, possibly due to the cut or the seasoning in the wok—something that could be fine-tuned.
The Arroz con Mariscos delivered a comforting, well-executed seafood rice dish, while the Mixto Amarillo and Mixto Rocoto were excellent variations of their signature ceviches. The ají amarillo leche de tigre in the Mixto Amarillo brought a rich, slightly creamy heat, while the porteño leche de tigre in the Mixto Rocoto had a bolder, spicier kick.
The entire experience was made even better by the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff, who ensured everything was served promptly and with genuine hospitality. We were celebrating a dear friend’s birthday, and Limón once again proved why it remains one of our go-to spots for authentic Peruvian cuisine. We love Limon!!

I’ve been to other Limon locations in San Francisco and was not impressed. The Redwood City Limon was very good! The ambiance and decor were so nice. San Francisco needs to remodel their locations. The food was delicious and was served hot. The drinks were strong. I’ll definitely go back soon. Did I mention there is public parking a block away. Your welcome!

Limon is more that their famous rotisserie chicken. Some of the dishes we tried is their crispy pork belly which is heavenly with the fried rice that came with it. The steak is a large portion with plenty of sides to choose from. We got plantains, cauliflower and tuna tartare for apps. The plantain is kinda plain, but the cauliflower is worth the try. The tuna tartare is fresh and makes a good combination with the crisp taro chips that came with it. We had a beef and seafood dish and they are equally tasty in their own right. Everything that we ordered is to be honest really good sonypu cant really go wrong with what you’re going to order here.
Parking is a bit tough as in any downtown.
This is a good place for meetings, friends meet up or even a follow up a date.
Highly recommended.

Always go there with my girlfriend. Everything on the menu is tasty. My favorite is the lomo saltado. I’ve had the pork belly chaufa and the ceviche. The staff is always nice. They give good recommendations. The drinks aren’t anything special. It’s all about the food. The restaurant is clean itself. Smells good. The seating is fine. Bar options and usually have sports on. It does get loud so if you need to have conversations don’t get frustrated. Overall. I like like Limon and it’s consistent location to location.

Limon was an incredible culinary experience. The Ceviche was unlike anything I’ve had before and has set a new standard of expectation that has yet to be met anywhere else. Additionally, the ambiance and staff were equally impressive and we felt right at home despite not knowing much of Peruvian culture. Cheers to Chef Martin Castillo and his staff!
