Why did we eat here? – Quipas is a restaurante de cocina peruana contemporánea ubicado in Lima, Peru. Not a big spot, about 12 tables and a bar counter. They serve lunch and dinner. This was our first dinner in Peru and a highly anticipated one that is rated at 4.9 on Google. (They do ask you to leave a review after you pay) A fellow foodie suggested we try this spot. We were trying to get the best of Peru, but without tasting menus. Check out our Peru 2026 Trip Restaurant Reviews Reservations are necessary but can be easily made online. The first diners at 7pm where all Americans! Menu is bigger than expected with lots of starters and entrees. English menu is available. Not a lot of vegetarian options. Come with a larger party to try more dishes. They take dietary restrictions seriously. The food was beautiful and was even better than expected. Dishes just worked. Even a special dessert was created on the fly to maneuver around a dietary restriction. Service was very good with folks passing by all the time. No the type of overwhelming service you get at a 3 star spot. Friendly with lots […]

Limon is a Peruvian restaurant in San Francisco’s Mission district serving Nuveo Latin Fusion. It has grown to 6 locations now. Our last visit was in summer 2026 to Burlingame location after we had visited Peru. Checkout our Peru Restaurant Reviews for the real Peruvian food! Martin Castillo opened Limon with Emmanuel Piqueras from three Michelin star Arzak restaurant in Spain. Decor, Vibe – Modern citrus-hued interior, large pieces of art adorn the walls, open kitchen, communal table, lounge tables, new bar, and counter space up front. Smaller dining area on an upstairs mezzanine floor. Hot scene, crowded, and loud with lots of well dressed non Mission types in their 30’s and 40’s. This place could get transported to another neighborhood and you would not see a difference. The Burlingame location in 2026 was still pretty packed on a Thursday night at 8pm with a younger 20-30’s crowd. Limon Menu The menu at Limon is wide ranging, from Ceviche to rotisserie chicken to many other dishes.  Almost too many items Several items for vegetarians. Service in 2026 was okay, they did handle dietary restrictions. No pacing, seafood tower and chicken came at same time. Limon Food Review: Chicha Morada ($8) […]
