We've been to Limón a few times now and it's consistently amazing. Best ceviche we've had in Silicon Valley, but everything else we've ordered was delicious. This time we had the Trio Ganador (3 ceviches with different sauces), the grilled octopus, and the tres leches cake. All delicious. They really taste as good as they look! Service was also good, with a polite and attentive server, and the restaurant ambiance is really nice. read more

We met up with a few friends who had never tried this place before. We ordered some favorites like the Ceviche Limon w/Taro chips, 16oz Ribeye Steak, Pulpo a la Parrilla, & Empanada Sampler. For drinks, we introduced them to the Chicha Morada and Lagarta Peruvian Beer. We tried a couple of new dishes... Crispy Pork Belly Chaufa - unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the menu. So, i can't remember what was exactly on this dish. You can see the picture. This was decent cuts of crispy pork belly on top of seasoned rice, reminiscent of a Peruvian style fried rice which was pretty tasty. Lomo Saltado: Wok stir-fried beef tenderloin with onions, tomatoes in ginger-infused soy sauce, french fries & served with jasmine rice. The dish was good and flavorful. Though, I wish there was an option to have the "beef cooked less than it was because it came out well-done". Another friend had the same comment. All in all, it was otherwise, a good dish. Plantano Frito: fried ripe plantains, sweet and sour vinaigrette. This was good. We were seated in another section of the restaurant I never knew existed. It was more enjoyable for our group as it was much quieter and you could carry on a conversation with everybody at the table. I mean, I liked dining in both sections. One is livelier and you are closer to the bar, kitchen, etc. The other section is much quieter and it just depends on your group size, etc. Great food, service, and good friends. Tonight was perfect! read more

Beautiful restaurant and delicious food. Arroz con mariscos was delicious! Definitely will come back again.

Came back here tonight and Limon did not disappoint. New plates we tried this time included: Lycheemelon drink - super sweet drink (not a problem for me!), and oh so pretty. Served in a large glass so I got to enjoy it through the night El Diablito drink - sweet and sour, with just a hint of spice. If you like lime flavored drinks, you'll like this Jalea - fried calamari and seafood. Perfectly fried and well varied. The side sauce is SO good Chanchito a la Diabla - fried pork dish. Serving size was small-ish but it is pretty filling. The dish was very pretty and the sauce was delicious Pulpo a la Parilla - octopus; cooked nicely - it was not too dry, nor too chewy. I'm not really a fan of octopus but I'd order this again Picante de Mariscos - mixed seafood in a creamy red sauce. Not sure how to describe it but the flavour was spot on. It was served with a side of rice. Very very filling. This might be my favourite dish on their menu ;) We'll be back again soon! read more

Our server Anthony was amazing!! Made us feel very welcomed and entertained great conversation with us, food came out quick and was sooo delicious!! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Good food as usual, this chain really doesn't miss. The location is nice too, very clean and welcoming, which makes for a comfortable dining experience. I've been here a few times for work lunches, and the food has always been solid. The staff can be a bit hit or miss though; some visits I've had great, attentive service, but other times it's been pretty disappointing. Overall, it's a reliable spot for tasty food, even if the service isn't always consistent. read more

Drinks are strong & refreshing! Food is fresh & flavorful. I love their seafood paella & how they weren't stingy with the seafood. They definitely packed on enough to where every bite has a bit of seafood on it. The grilled octopus, delicious! Wasn't tough to chew on & had the perfect amount of seasoning. The empanada dipping sauce, fire! I could've dipped everything in it. Reserving a table online was easy. Service was attentive. Overall very cute spot to have lunch/dinner.

Definitely a higher end ambiance food is good, price is high. Drinks are STRONG and good for the price (~$13-15). For four people with 2 mocktails, 2 cocktails, total was around $250 - Arroz con mariscos: this was perfectly done. Rice was umami and had great depth of flavour from being cocked in the seafood broth. It was also slightly smoky. Seafoods were generous and everything was tender, 5/5 - Meat grill platter: the highlights were the pork belly, and the two sauces it came with (one umami and soy based, and the other bright and acidic, helping to cut through all the fatty meats). Some pieces of steak were cooked perfect, some seemed over our requested med rare. Chicken was unfortunately on the drier side. Yuca fries were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and did not feel soggy. The potatoes and veg under the steak absorbed all those good good drippins, but was slightly heavy on the salt, 3.5/5 - Truffled mac and cheese: creamy and cheese, but lacking truffle flavour, 3/5 read more

Was craving seafood and decided to try this place out for a lunch with a mom. This place did not disappoint! The ambiance was nice and the place had cute decor. Servers were attentive and friendly. We got the ceviche limón and the arroz con mariscos. Both dishes were SO good together. The sauce in the ceviche was so perfectly limey with a nice kick, we kept adding the sauce to bites of the rice. The seafood was absolutely delicious in both dishes, no complaints. The arroz came nice and hot with a very decent amount of seafood for the price. If you're a lime enthusiast like we are then you need to try their ceviche. These would pair well with a nice drink too! read more

Limón - Ceviche limon and arroz con mariscos - Peruvian Near Me - Mountain View, California

The pictures include our two visits to the restaurant in this location. I will say food is pretty average. Sometimes it's hit-or-miss. Last time we had beef short ribs. It was so hard, dry and chewy. The ceviche cauliflower was simply too sour. The service was hit-or-miss as well. Last time when we told the waitress that the short ribs were too hard and dry, she didn't do anything about it. This time our waiter was nicer but kind of have this "up sale" attemp trying to get us order more. The dining space is pleasant, the location is convenient. I'm sure although I am not looking forward to visit here anytime soon again, I win probably come back once a while. read more

We stopped by last night and sat at the bar. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill right away. The bartender was very rude and never acknowledged us when we sat down. I asked if he could wipe the table, and he didn't respond at all--he just grabbed a wet cloth and wiped it without saying a word. The lack of basic customer service was pretty disappointing. The couple sitting next to us mentioned they were having the same experience with him, so it clearly wasn't just us. At that point I wasn't comfortable staying, so I spoke with the manager and asked them to cancel our order. Thankfully, they did the right thing and didn't charge us for the one drink we had. We ended up leaving and going to Scratch instead, where we had a much better experience and much better food. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I won't be coming back or recommending this restaurant to my customers. read more

I greatly appreciated Limon reaching out. Rather than get angry or defensive they conducted an investigation on this and found it a honest mistake. Staff don't have access to add gratuity to any party. They need management approval. A manager intended to apply the large party gratuity to a nearby party and accidentally tapped my table instead. applying large party gratuities to small tables is not part of the practice. I am satisfied with the explanation and will be coming back again to try other menu items. read more

Very good food. I highly Recommend a reservation ahead of time, and if it's for a large party call to confirm. I booked through yelp and the reservation did not show up in their system. Although they still honored the reservation time, it was clear they were pretty booked at capacity read more

Limón - Ceviche - Peruvian Near Me - Mountain View, California

Absolutely loved the food here. We came here for a celebration dinner and left super satisfied. They're most well known for their ceviche so definitely get that. We ordered what we thought looked good and everything ended up being a hit. Trio ganador 5/5 - I liked all three options although they all kind of tasted kind of the same towards the end. Definitely get the taro chips for a nice crunch. Chicken empanadas 4.5/5 - Delicious but maybe not as unique as the other items on the menu. These empanadas were also quite small. I liked the dipping sauce though. Lomo saltado 4.75/5 - This dish was amazing although a tad salty. I like that the French fries retained their texture (sometimes these just end up tasting salty at other restaurants...) Seco de costillas 5/5 - Our server recommended this to us and I'm so glad she did. I loved the short rib and also the beans in this dish. Picante de Mariscos 5/5 - The creamy sauce was a perfect pairing with rice. If I had to be extremely picky: the only con was that the food was slightly salty--we were all chugging water at the end. Still worth it though! read more

Came here for lunch on Saturday. I've been wanting to come try this restaurant as I've heard it's good. They weren't too busy so we were seated pretty quickly at one of the high tables. We ordered an espresso martini, Ponche cocktail, ceviche limon, empanada sampler and chicharrones de pollo. Loved the Ponche cocktail; it was refreshing and sweet. The ceviche limon was our favorite dish. It had large chunks of fish that was so delicious and the perfect bite. Empanadas were what you'd expect. Was disappointed by the chicharrones. It wasn't consistently crispy. This would've been delicious if they had cut the chicken into a bit smaller pieces. The larger piece were tough and dry. Overall really good and would come back. The restaurant is really cute with a tropical theme throughout that makes a great backdrop for pics. read more

Popular place with friendly staff! Gets pretty busy on weekday. They were constantly refilling my water which was nice. The 1/4 white chicken is not a bad size for 1 serving. Loved the citrusy sauce that came with it. Ceviche seafood was great, loved the taro chips that came with it. Calamari was crispy and the sauce they used was paired well. read more

Great location and a very stylish interior--perfect for a night out. The cocktails are strong and well-crafted; mine was especially nice. The food was exceptional. I ordered the iron steak, and it was so delicious I ate the whole thing in a heartbeat. The seafood dish we tried was also impressive--fresh and flavorful. One thing to note: they do have a strict 2-hour seating limit. We were kindly asked to leave once our time was up because another reservation was coming in, so plan accordingly. For two entrées and two cocktails, with tax and tip, the total came to $114--not cheap, but definitely worth it for the quality. Overall, a great experience if you're looking for a classy spot with fantastic food and drinks. read more

The octopus was pretty good. Texture is firm not the powdery kind. Fresh. Paella was decent. I've had better but this is not bad. For small dish, I enjoyed the fried chicken with fries. The sauce was tasty. Veggie empanadas were filled with mushrooms and taste delicious. Brussel sprouts were quite flavorful with the reduced sauce. Service not bad, atmosphere is more party theme. Pretty loud. read more

Good environment and great food! Staff was very helpful. Will definitely be returning

I was very impressed the minute I walked in. The ambiance is lovely and lively! It's a great place for date night, celebrations or just family dinner. We were seated in a closed section so it was quiet. Luis our server is very friendly and helpful. As it is our first time, we couldn't decide which one to order as every dish on the menu looks very good. He helped us pin it down. Dishes were amazing! *Marinero Seafood Platter: I think ceviche is a must-have here. They've crafted the perfect marriage of citrus, tons of red onions and salt. Lovely presentation with the addition of micro greens and choclo (Peruvian corn). *Lomo Saltado: love this dish of beef tenderloin. Pairs well with rice, the sauce of which is not to be wasted! *Arroz con Mariscos: muy deliciosa!!! Very similar to Spanish paella *Tres Leches: a perfect ending to a sumptuous meal I'd definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Great first visit to Limon. Would definitely visit here again for another work trip for colleague / client meals. Didn't have to wait at all during lunch time, but the service was a little bit on the slower side. Had plenty of time to enjoy some Latin music and would like to visit again during happy hour to try one of their Peruvian cocktails. Favorite option for the table was the crispy pork belly chaufa (fried rice), which was incredibly tasty/savory, a mix of texture, and ran ~$25. The second best option was the picante de mariscos, which had plenty of different seafood items (shrimp, fish, clams, mussels, and scallops) and ran ~$35. Would definitely get that again on the next visit, but there's plenty other menu options I'd try as well. read more

Overall (3.5/5): Limón has a beautiful space and good food. We would probably go back to check out the rest of the menu but the dishes were a bit or miss for us on certain items. Ambiance (5/5): The space is very pretty. It has a tropical feel with all three draping plant decorations from the ceiling. Very clean tables/ seating and the lighting is so very well done. Super casual atmosphere and great for bringing friends or a date. Service (4.5/5): A little slow start but the place was bustling. Very nice server and was overall attentive but forgot to check in on us in the beginning. After that everything was smooth. Food (2-4/5): Ceviche Limón (3.5/5): The ceviche was acidic and everything I love about ceviche. It's plated/presented as a sampler and is a great dish to share with a date. The minus points are for two things 1) the fried calamari made no sense to me. I would much rather have the squid in a non fried form as it got soggy and the breading was not enjoyable after a while. 2) The Taro chips were unevenly seasoned. There was a pile of salt on some chips, and others didn't have any salt. I'd skip out on adding the taro chips Anticuchose de pollo (2.5/5): The dish looked great but the cook on the chicken was over. The dish overall was also on the bland side. I'd skip on this next time and try something else. Arroz con mariscos (3/5): The flavors were good but the cook on the rice was soggy in my opinion. I typically look forward to the crispy rice on the bottom of of pallela's which was not here. read more

In reality this is 3.5/5 stars. Here's my issues: 1. Expensive food (we only ordered one trio ganador ceviche sampler and my total bill ended up being $50 with tip and tax) 2. Ceviche doesn't come with chips; it's extra 3. They try to trick you to pay for water since they at first only offer sparkling or still water. But make sure to ask for tap water. 4. Someone next to us sent back a paella rice dish for being super salty 5. We got our one ceviche dish after people next to us who had been seated after us got four dishes. I had to remind the server about our meal, which subsequently came out after. BUT this is downtown mountain view and I'd come back to try more food at least one more time. read more

The food was great (this maybe the only good enough aspect that this restaurant has going); I made reservations for three and took my mom and my sister to Limón for Mother's Day; Although our reservation was for 4pm we got there 7 minutes earlier and by 3:57pm they had the table ready for us; Our table was at a corner with very limited space (so limited that it felt somewhat uncomfortable, and due to this limited space my mom dropped her fork and and knife and had to ask for a second set), to make the situation a bit worse, the table next to us was a party of about 10 and they had two babies with them that kept crying and screaming for the the first 15 minutes of our stay at the restaurant, and we couldn't hear each other as we were trying to talk and decide on what to order; We finally order (customer service was okay enough), the food and drinks took longer that we expected (but the restaurant was nearly full to capacity, which made the delay understandable); As mentioned the food was great, the drinks were good, mom ordered a margarita which se mentioned was very good, my sister ordered a lemonade which she also mentioned that it was good, I've ordered a glass of wine (Pinot Noir, which was pretty decent for their tab wine) nevertheless, as we were halfway with our early dinner, we ordered a second glass of Pinot Noir, which took rather long to be brought to us (I even had to remind our waiter, to which he replied something like "I've ordered it but is taking longer than expected and every one is mad about it) (I didn't quite understood what he meant) nevertheless when it arrived it was nearly only half the portion as the first glass; As we felt somewhat uncomfortable with our staying at this table and environment, we decided to ask for the check earlier than anticipated and also asked for take out boxes to take the remaining half of our dinner home; Our waiter asked if we had room for dessert, to which we replied (disappointingly) no; Not at all a great first impression. read more

We weren't big fans of the Picante de Mariscos, although it had a mixture of seafood which were cooked well, it wasn't bursting with flavor and was more on the blander side.

We booked a reservation for 3 on a Friday night. The food was great and came out very timely. However the service was very rushed and ruined our experience. Some of us at the table were still finishing our meal when they came and started clearing plates and put the bill on the table before everyone was finished eating. The second we pulled out the card to pay they took it to process our order on the spot and removed all the cups and didn't give us a chance to ask for more water. Two minutes later we were asked if we can give up the table for the people waiting in line. I understand the need to be considerate and not hold up the crowd, but we barely were seated at the table for 1 hour before we were rushed out. Most places have a 90 minute period but we weren't even given that courtesy. read more
