Still the best restaurant, work happy hour and dinner, and date spot in all of the Mission. I personally pick it as number one in the city.
The Seco is now bone-in short rib made made medium rare and mouth watering tender. There is a new pep and attentiveness to the service; which I appreciate. The music has changed to more trendy secular music; which is a must in this day and age. Overall the presentation of all of the dishes seems to have been up leveled.
Dishes start at around $14, but it is now a place that I’m happy to pay $30+ for a dish at.
This place has 3 of my favorite dishes in the city. With my new favorite being a recent addition. The fish of the day. The drinks are always fantastic and the service is top notch. It’s lovely enough to be a dinner date spot and casual enough to be a quick launch haunt. I’m a huge fun and I’m sure you will be also.
I loved this place. My friends took me here for my birthday. The staff were kind enough to sing Happy birthday for me. Our server was very nice and changed our order after they brought the food and we realized we made the mistake of ordering the wrong thing. The food was amazing. I had a blast.
I come to this place with an expectation that the roast chicken would be unprecedented because of the hype. Well, the roast chicken is indeed good but not to the level that surprised me. However, the ceviche! I am usually skeptical with the ceviche because it tends to be small and one dimensional flavor - sour. Worse than that, bland. However, the ceviche here is rich. I love how creative it is to put fried items in the ceviche without being soggy. There are fun things to chew on along fresh seafood. Oh yes the snapper is very fresh. And most importantly, the dressing for the ceviche that we got is not only sour but had a kick of chili and shallots. I wiped the plate with the yuca fries and chips. Would love to try other ceviches and other dishes more next time.
Food: 4/5
Service: 4/5
Ambiance: 3/5
Overall: A good staple to come to in the mission.
Would I come back: Yeah I would
The extended review…
Food:
Yuca Fries - 3.5/5 - Yummy but much starchier than potatoes.
Ceviche Mixto - 4/5 - A tasty ceviche with a good representation of other seafoods
Mar y Tierra - 4/5 - Why not I say. Basically it’s Lomo Saltado with some shrimps. Who could deny that.
Service: 4/4 - Friendly attentive service.
Ambiance: 3/5 - A bit on the louder side. It’s also a bit packed so it can be slightly claustrophobic for some people depending on how you deal with crowds.
Our dinner here at Limon was excellent! Flavors on point. Our server was Star & Pancho, friendly and attentive. Chef Rolando and manager Ramez were so welcoming! Thank you, everyone, at Limón!
The meat was at the perfect point! The chocolate dessert was a delicious match with just enough sugar. And the service was super efficient and friendly. I was served by Roy, a Peruvian boy. I will definitely come back to this place.
Very authentic Peruvian with nice plating. All seafood are pretty spot on. We went on a Monday evening where there were open seatings. But the servers were keeping sending us away.
The el pirata and the lomo saltado were good and had great presentation! Service was fast and very friendly! I thought the music was too loud and it was difficult to have a conversation.
Ceviche was great! Good portion to share. Was a little underwhelmed with the octopus. Really tiny compared to the price and not that tasty. I’d see this as a good place to catchup, but only if you get seated upstairs or away from the kitchen. Was really loud during dinner so hard to hear and enjoy food.
Really good atmosphere and service. Food is really based on personal preference. The ceviche is tasty but not outstanding (maybe it's because i don't know how to appreciate this dish/type of cuisine). Steak frites is 9/10. Meat is not the most flavourful or tender but really decent. The sauce and rice combo is a real treat.
