Wilfredo was our server and he was very nice and taking care of us very well the food was excellent very happy to celebrate my daughter's birthday read more

Absolutely loved this place! The food was so delicious! Every dish we tried was a hit. The ceviche was fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced, the chicken empanadas were crispy and packed with flavor, and the grilled chicken appetizer was juicy and well-seasoned. What really made the experience extra special was the service. Wilfredo P was so friendly, kind, and welcoming! He truly made us feel taken care of and added such a personal touch to the meal. And I have to give a special shoutout to the Chica Morrada cocktail yumm hands down one of the best cocktails I've had. So good I'd come back just for that alone. Amazing food, wonderful service, and a great overall vibe. Can't wait to return! read more

Hi Marlena, thank you for your message and my sincere apologies for the mix-up. You're absolutely right--my review was meant for Taqueria Limon, the Mexican restaurant, not your location. I appreciate you kindly clarifying this. I'm glad to learn about your Peruvian cuisine and look forward to visiting soon to try some Peruvian dishes. Thank you again for your understanding! read more

What an amazing restauran!! We ordered so many things off the menu! our family had a feast and everything we had was flavorful. Wilfredo, our waiter, was top notch. As a Peruvian, I 100% approve Limon! we all can't wait to return! read more

Limon is a great representation of Peruvian food. I've been to the sf location many times but this my was first time here! From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting ambiance sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The food is nothing short of spectacular--each dish is beautifully presented and bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and pour passion into every bite. Some of my favorite dishes are: SECO, THE POLLO A LA BRASA, FLAT IRON, and the FLAT IRON The service is equally impressive. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, making you feel well taken care of. Whether you're here for a casual meal or a special occasion, they go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect. Limon is one of my favorite spots. If you're looking for delicious food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service, this is the place to be. Highly recommend! read more

Everything was fresh and flavorful. We got the lomo saltado and trio grande ceviche which comes with 3 servings of ceviche. You order the chips with it, they don't come with the $38 plate. Would I casually pay over $40 for ceviche and chips for a casual lunch? Not usually. I have had great Peruvian food for a lot less just not in places with the same finesse. You're paying for an experience here: trendy spot, downtown location, specialty food, and great plating presentation. Good spot for a special occasion. Don't come too hungry and expect not to pay extra for it lol read more

Limón - Arroz con Mariscos - Peruvian Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

We visited Limon while passing through Walnut Creek, craving something light and refreshing--and what better than a delicious Peruvian ceviche? My boyfriend and I ordered two plates to share: he got the Trio Ganador, which included three different styles of ceviche with shrimp, fish, and calamari, while I chose the grilled Pulpo (octopus). I also ordered El Tropical to drink, which was perfectly refreshing and absolutely delicious. The food overall was excellent--you can really tell they use fresh seafood, and the flavors were vibrant and well-balanced. The restaurant itself has a modern, stylish vibe and everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. The service was decent but left some room for improvement. We were seated right away and the host was lovely, but our server was on break when we arrived, so someone else took our order and let us know she wasn't our main server. After that, though, no one really checked in on us, and when the ceviche was served, they didn't explain which was which--which was a bit disappointing since we had a favorite, but couldn't figure out which one it was. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Limon for a fresh, flavorful meal--especially if you're a fan of ceviche. Just a bit more attention to service would make the experience even better. read more

I came here tonight to celebrate my birthday and had an amazing experience! We started with the Ceviche Limón, which was fresh and full of flavor. For drinks, we ordered the Lychee Sour, and it was absolutely delicious. For our main course, we had the Lomo Saltado, and it was amazing--perfectly cooked, very flavorful, and one of the best I've had. A special thank you to Wilfredo, who made our evening even more enjoyable. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and well-spoken, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our dinner. His excellent service truly made our birthday celebration memorable. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back! read more

Seafood was so tender and fresh and drinks were so I had to get a couple. Our server Roberto was so sweet and bubbly and had great recommendations. We watched him calmly hustle and serve the rush as we waited for our food; his professionalism and sweetness was much appreciated this date night read more

Limón - Great desert too! - Peruvian Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

This review is overdue. I came here on Saturday, November 8th at 5pm. The restaurant was pretty busy. I came with my boyfriend and baby. I had my baby in the stroller sleeping and tried to keep the stroller out of everyone's way. My boyfriend had added us onto the waitlist. As we were waiting for a table, the host which was an older lady asked us to wait outside. I was worried my baby was going to get cold and sick but I complied with her request anyways. Luckily, he had a jacket on and blanket on top of him. There was another family waiting inside with their baby and she did not ask them to wait outside. My baby woke up so we picked him up from the stroller and put a beanie on him. When my boyfriend went inside with the baby to ask for an update on the table, the same host who asked us to wait outside, randomly told him he can wait inside. (She must have realized how bad it was to have a baby wait outside in the cold.) He told her he was going to wait outside since that's what she asked us to do earlier. Not sure why she asked us to wait outside in the first place if she was going to change her mind. There's also no designated waiting area inside nor outside the restaurant either. She needs to work on her cognitive skills and customer service. We finally got seated and had the best server ever. Our server, Miguel, made our experience here better. He was super friendly, went over the menu, and explained the specials for the day which was a ribeye. The food and drinks here were all delicious. Not sure if I want to come back to this location though. read more

The empanadas are to die for!! I would come back just to eat multiple plates of them. The ceviche is always fresh and they give you perfect portion sizes. Ordered the lobster ceviche and it was delicious. Pricey but at least I was satisfied for the price and amount I was given to eat. The papas are good but nothing extraordinary. If you want consistency in the quality of food and taste I recommend this restaurant I never leave unsatisfied. The service was cordial as always. It was a Friday night and very packed- not a quiet place at all so if you are looking for a place to chat better go early in the day. read more

Wilfredo was a great host for us. The food was 10/10, the presentation was 10/10 and the drinks were great! It was fast and efficient. We will return. The only thing I didn't enjoy was how warm/hot it was in the restaurant. I wasn't sure if the AC was not functioning but it was definitely a little warmer than it should've been. Over all 10/10 service and experience read more

Food is OK. There is some dishes very tasty and some dishes all right. Good friendly staff, tables are soooo close to each other. read more

It's a buzzy, crowded space with a nice bar. The food was delicious. I really enjoyed the rotisserie chicken. The empanadas were nice and crispy inside with tasty filling. The ceviche had a great variety of seafood with a bit of nice sour flavor. Street parking can be challenging but there is a paid parking garage nearby. read more

Staple to the Bay Area, Limon always has me coming back for their ceviche Camaron. Drinks are superb and hit the spot everytime.

Wilfredo provided us with excellent service, the food was very good, and the atmosphere of the place is incredible.

Over priced. Poor food selection. Horrible drinks service was poor !!! Over-rated. No one would explain what the menu was.

My friends and I went here for dinner for a birthday celebration. We anticipated that it would be busy since it was mother's day weekend, we booked our reservation far in advance. Coming in, the host told us we did not have a table currently despite a reservation but totally understandable to have an additional wait time for the holidays! We patiently waited and were finally seated on the second floor. I was extremely disappointed with the service I received. We love going here in general, the food is great and I've never had such a bad experience in comparison to yesterday and I've been here at peak rush times and even holiday celebrations. Our server, Niuosha did not really greet us, she automatically said what did we want to drink and I said we can start off with waters. And she said, of course there will be water, what else? I mentioned to her that we just sat down so we were unable to look at the menu. She leaves and when she comes back, she does not ask the whole table for their orders and just take the guys and skipped and I had to try to flag her down because she started walking away mid sentence. Every time we would ask for something, she would walk away. I dropped my napkin and my fork and due to her needing to go back and get new ones, she was like "well what else" and mentioned I made her go back there twice (which I did not mean to, of course I don't want to drop things!) I totally understand it being busy and especially, myself, used to working in the food industry, I am very empathetic and patient with servers but she continued to give attitude, not table touch, and it kind of made me sad because this was for an occasion and I did really like this place. I felt like the runners were checking in on us more than our own server. She was only kind when giving me the bill and handing for the tip. I then asked for her name and that was the only time I was given any kindness or attention. The restaurant is beautiful and spacious and the food is great. It really ruins the atmosphere with such poor service. read more

Food is okay and extremely overpriced. Very small portions. I was shocked at how small the portions were based on the price. Food was a little dry and bland. read more

I am ordered the BOMBA DEL AMOR and EL DIABLITO cocktails -- both refreshing and nicely balanced, with bold citrusy and slightly smoky flavors that paired well with the food. The Ceviche Limón was fresh, bright, and flavorful with a nice tangy kick. The Ribeye Al Wok had good seasoning and flavor overall, though it came a bit overcooked compared to the medium doneness requested. Originally came hoping to order the beef tongue, but it's no longer on the new menu, which was a little disappointing. Overall, still a pleasant dining experience and worth trying. read more

We went to Limón in Walnut Creek to celebrate my birthday with my family, there were 7 of us. Unfortunately, the service really took away from what should have been a special dinner. From the moment we sat down, our server kept asking if we were ready to order drinks literally a minute after being seated, which felt rushed. My boyfriend had to ask three times for his soda before he finally received it. When the food came out, it didn't arrive together, and we had to remind the server about items that were missing from our order. Throughout the meal, it consistently felt like we were being hurried out. Mid-dinner, we were asked if we needed a box, which was uncomfortable and unnecessary. Tip was already included due to our party size, and it honestly felt like the server was aware of that and didn't make much of an effort to provide good service. To top it off, my nephew quietly let the server know it was my birthday, hoping to do something nice. Instead, she responded with an attitude, saying there was no free dessert and that we would have to pay for it -- which would've been totally fine if it had been said politely. The food itself was okay, but the service Niuosha made the experience disappointing, especially for a birthday celebration. I expected better hospitality read more

Wilfredo, thank you so much for taking your time to explain to us every single drinks that we try at Limon in Walnut Creek branch. Whoever is the manager in here, you better take care of this guy, I will come back, me and my partner to try every single dish and drinks he talk to us about. WE WILL BE BACK AND WE HOPE TO SEE WIFREDO BACK PLEASE. read more

Each dish we ordered, to be shared Family Style, was excellent. We had a ceviche, chicken, fish and beef dish followed by a great chocolate cake and tres leche. MacLaren, the hostess, really topped off the evening with how she kept a cool head handling the standing room only crowd. Her personality is exactly what you need for a restaurant like this. read more

Bustling atmosphere for a Sunday afternoon. Lighting is dim and music in background. Quick and efficient service. Came for a quick late lunch. Conchitas a la chalaca: 5 stars. Yummy delicious scallops ceviche served in the shell. I like the sweet potato and corn that served as a balance to the tartness of the lime and added different texture to the dish. Lomo Saltado: 4 stars. steak over fried. Steak pieces cooked well with a delicious sauce to dip the fries. Passionfruit sour: 4.5 stars. delicious. Tasted really well balanced. Lycheemelon: 4.5 stars. Cocktail on the sweeter side. Yummy flavors. read more

Had the grilled octopus and seafood rice. Both were very flavorful. Perfect balance of the taste from the spices and the taste from the seafood in the rice. I would tho cook the rice in a higher temperature to make the bottom of the rice a bit scorched read more

I was alone on business in Walnut Creek and sat at the bar. The vibe was chill and welcoming. The bartender was excellent at both making me feel welcome and mixing a fabulous margarita.

I didn't realize it had fries in it and I didn't eat them all but was surprised how they soaked up the delicious broth. read more

WHY WE WENT HERE: - birthday dinner for August celebrants THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - on Locust St in between Civic Dr and Bonanza St - street parking and garage parking available - outdoor enclosed patio seating available - across the street from Limon Salon THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - 2 stories - main floor is for general seating; 2nd floor is for private celebrations - modern industrial cabin vibes (metal chairs but wood tones as well) - the music was mostly EDM which I'm not mad at, however, the music was SUPER loud so we felt like it wasn't best for a group dinner of our size trying to have conversation with one another unless you were directly next to/in front of one another or shouting THE (DINNER) MENU: - la cevicheria - piqueos - empanadas - pollo a la brasa - clasicos - la parrilla - fiesta platter - ensaladas - postres - happy hour THE (COCKTAILS) MENU: - sours - handcrafted cocktails - margaritas - sangria WHAT WE ORDERED: - ceviche limon - anticuchos de pollo - truffle mac & cheese - coliflor picante - lengua - platano frito - empanada sampler - pollo a la brasa 1/2 chicken dark - tacu tacu marisquero - arroz con mariscos - churrasco - pulpo - chocolate bandido - tres leches - mango panna cotta - sangria pitcher THE TASTE: - presentation of everything was great! to be expected - personal least favorite - pollo a la brasa 1/2 chicken dark; the chicken tasted like standard rotisserie chicken - personal favorites - coliflor picante and chocolate bandido - table favorite - ceviche limon CUSTOMER SERVICE: - despite the reservation notification indicating we wouldn't be seated unless the entire party was present + only a 15 minute grace period after reservation time, we all came trickling in at different times (early to 30 minutes late) and were seated no problem - forgot the name of our server but he reminded me of an older Wilmer Valderrama read more

Great service Wilfredo!!! Just come back for him, the food was excellent and the service added to the experience, 5 star

We added our name to the waitlist and waited around 25 minutes. The ambiance was really nice ; we sat outside and they had heaters, so we were perfectly comfortable. The staff was super friendly and our waitress kept checking in to make sure everything was good, which I really appreciated. Our food came out pretty fast too, about 10-20 minutes. The drinks were so good .I got the Diablito and my boyfriend got the mule, both were strong and flavorful. And the Lomo Saltado... amazing. Honestly, everything we ordered was delicious. Loved it here Would definitely come back. read more
