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

Wilfredo was absolutely awesome tonight. He does a great job engaging with everyone at the table making sure that everyone knows the specials and we had the best customer service. He has good suggestions and we had an absolutely great time. 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

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

Limón - Trio Ganador - 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

please ask for robinson! catered to our large group of 11 and made it so easy. him and the team really made us feel welcome and didn't hesitate to ensure we were having a great time. food came out fast that we were so full fast! the chicken is a MUST.. ceviche was a little more on the sour tangy side but... ceviche! drinks were flowing perfectly, and when asked to do a cake surprise for 3 people in our party.. the answer was easily "no problem, want shots too?" love coming to Limon and the service! Cheers 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

Amazing!!! Omg this was the best dining experience in a long time. I felt like we were on Vacation in Costa Rica. Wilfredo our server was the best. He was so attentive and sweet and made us feel like we were at his home. I can't believe we just discovered this place! The flat iron steak, salad with corn was off the hook. My favorite was a shrimp appetizer. 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. Each location (this one is in wc) is unique however posts the same cleanliness. Servers are quick and attentive - overall giving this place a solid spot in my books anytime I'm back in the bay. read more

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

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

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

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. For dinner I had the lomo saltado. It was the perfect meal with tender beef and tomatoes with onion. 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

From the time we arrived until the time we left we had a wonderful experience. I met my good friend for lunch this weekend and we both were so happy with our experience. Our server Wilfredo was a joy! He was funny and sweet-spirited. He gave us great suggestions and seemed to care about how much we enjoyed our food and drinks. Our food was delicious and the portion sizes were generous. We ordered the rotisserie chicken, shrimp, and salad along with 2 piscos! Yummmms all around:) The manager and the owner were there and interacted with us. Great customer service. Very pleased and we will definitely be back! read more

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

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

Limón - Should be more busy in a Friday afternoon - Peruvian Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

My dinner visit to Limón was a walk in with no reservation. I wasn't sure what time my party was going to be able to arrive and I have been to the location in Oakland without reservations so I decided to risk it. Parking was not the greatest. After a couple of drives around we found street parking about a block and a half away. When we arrived we walked in asked for a table of 4, we were immediately offered a table outside with the option of having the heater on as the inside seating was reserved so we took the table. Shortly after sitting we were welcomed with cups and water. A friendly waiter by the name of Wilfredo introduced himself to our table and took our drinks and appetizer orders. After warming up in our table, we realized that we would definitely be needing the heater as it was getting chilly outside. The heater was turned and we soon placed our dinner orders with a very attentive Wilfredo provided his recommendations on the drinks. I asked for something I had not had before from Limón so Wilfredo took the time to explain to me the types of drinks and the different piscos they have to offer. I found the information very helpful as I've been a huge fan of Peruvian cuisine but wasn't too familiar with their cocktails. I went for the Chicha Morada Sour and was not disappointed. For dinner our party decided to go with the traditional Lomo Saltado, Ceviche Limón and 16 oz rib eye steak dinner. Every dish was perfectly delicious and as always very flavorful. As we were finishing up with our dinner the restaurant was getting very busy, with many guest outside waiting and people walking so the outside area was definitely not intimate so I would definitely make reservations next time and I recommend for anyone that wants to visit to make a reservation as well. The grand finale was having their tres leches as we were celebrating a birthday and the attention to our celebration was very memorable thanks to Wilfredo and the staff. I would definitely be back to Limón in Walnut Creek to enjoy a delicious dish again soon! read more

Limón is one of those rare restaurants that nails both flavor and atmosphere. The rotisserie chicken is perfectly seasoned -- juicy inside, crispy outside -- and the trio of dipping sauces (especially the aji verde) takes it over the top. The ceviche is bright, fresh, and full of citrusy punch, while the lomo saltado is rich and comforting with just the right amount of wok sear. Service is friendly and fast, even when it's busy, and the space has a fun, energetic vibe without being too loud. Great cocktail list too -- the pisco sour and maracuyá mojito are standouts. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and it's one of the best options in town for sharing plates with friends or a relaxed family dinner. Highly recommend: rotisserie chicken combo, ceviche clásico, and yuca fries. The Peruvian sour was also great . Our family of 3 had a fantastic Sunday night outing . Finally the dessert , tres leches and mango panacota was awesome Hats off to our server Roberto as well . read more

Came here for our 2 year anniversary and the experience was amazing! The place itself was beautiful with a full bar and open kitchen. Our server, Roberto, was kind and attentative; service was fast and delightful. The food was spectacular. We started with the Fiesta and Ceviche platters, and shared the Lomo Saltado. The flavors were a joy to explore. And we finished with the Tres Leches dessert. We will definitely come back to share with friends and family. read more

We're not usually in Walnut Creek, but we wanted to meet up with my cousin and her husband from Fairfield and chose a location sort of in between. She suggested Limon and we were up for trying something different. We came on a warm and sunny Sunday. The sidewalks were bustling and the roads were stacked, but despite arriving right in the middle of the lunch hour none of the restaurants, including this place, was very busy. We were seated outdoors, which was perfect to enjoy the sunshine instead of the rather dark indoor dining room. There were a lot of interesting things on the menu, including some enticing entrees, but we decided to go light with just a handful of tapas dishes. On our table today: Chicharron de pollo - grilled chicken pieces served with a spicy lime vinaigrette and some yucca fries. Everyone liked this, especially the dipping sauce, but I found the pieces to be a little on the dry side even though it was thigh meat. Jalea - shrimp, calamari, and fish with yucca fries served with a yuzu aioli dipping sauce. The menu doesn't describe the preparation, so we were a little surprised that the seafood was battered and fried. We would have preferred a fresher preparation. But it was still pretty good. The shrimp were fat and the fish was moist, and there were plenty of tentacle-y pieces of squid. Camarones crocantes - battered shrimp coated in a sriracha sauce. Again, the shrimp was cooked well and the flavor of the sauce had a slight hint of heat, but not as spicy as the sriracha description might imply. Empanadas - we got two "flights" of these, each of which includes a beef, chicken, cheese, and veggie (mushroom and cheese) empanada. These were a hit. They were all fairly good-sized - big enough to share each among two people. I assumed that I would prefer the meat empanadas, but surprisingly the beef was the least liked in our group. The cheese was probably the favorite, and I liked the veggie one just as much. Even though we didn't order any large entrees, this still was quite filling. Prices were kind of high IMO - I don't think I've quite adjusted to the higher cost of everything. For the meal above, plus one margarita, one soda, and a couple bottles of water, the bill for the five of us was about $175. read more

I've been to Limon a couple of times and I've concluded that it just doesn't do the trick for me. I ordered the 1/4 chicken plate and my husband got the pork belly fried rice. Meh. We also got empanadas which were decent. There was a yummy mocktail which was kind of like non-alcoholic sangria. That was yummy. It was just too loud and crowded to really enjoy our conversation with the other couple. Also, parking is a beast. Not worth the hassle and noise. read more

I came here for dinner with my sister and cousin in love. We did not have reservations but were seated almost immediately. The ambiance was pretty lively and not too rowdy.
