About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Good for special occasions

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 goal was simple: introduce the dynamic flavors of Peruvian cuisine to the renowned San Francisco food scene, in which it was seemingly missing. With word of mouth the restaurant quickly gained recognition from top restaurant critics and national publications. Most important to the Castillo brothers was to create an atmosphere reminiscent of life in Perú: a place where locals could gather over shared plates and celebrate life's occasions with memorable food & drink. Today, the Castillo family continues to own & operate multiple Limon Rotisserie locations in the Bay Area & beyond.

The food was not as good as it had been in the past. I found out the restaurant switched chef’s and the taste and presentation of the food showed it. This used to be my favorite place. I’m disappointed!

I’m a repeat customer. Phenomenal food, service and great value. Though “high energy” place (noise level a little high), great place to plan for celebration dinner/get together.

I've had decent experiences at Limon but this was by far the worst: 1) 6:30p dinner and 4 staple menu items were unavailable/out of stock 2) Tapas and dinner not served to temp: fries cold and soggy, signature chicken super dry and tough... 3) waiter was friendly but not attentive

The chicken is still good, except that sometimes you get your roast chicken without the skin (not sure why) when it is what makes the chicken good. Also service can be slow since it can be crowded on weekends so you need to give it at least 2.5 hours or more for lunch if you will also order dessert.
