Had a wonderful Aji De Gallina bowl here. It was nice, warm, and filling. Perfect for a rainy or cloudy SF day It comes with pulled chicken breast in cheese sauce with turmeric and Aji Amarillo sauce - a kind of chilli but it's not too spicy. Along with rice, potato, and egg! They also had pineapple infused water available for free to get yourself It's a nice place for a social lunch. They even have outlets and friendly service I'd like to come back to try more of their dishes, trying to explore more South American cuisine! read more

Messy but delicious! My friend and I shared the lomo saltado beef sandwich and the pollipappas. They both were super tasty! Sandwich did get messy and would help to be wrapped for cleaner eats but would def get it again! read more

Huge, delicious sandwiches! The yuca fries and aji were amazing as well. Will definitely be back.

The restaurant was very clean and inviting. We ordered at the counter and the food was brought to our table within 10 minutes. We got one main, 2 sides, and a drink (see ratings on pics) to share between 2 people. Was neither disappointed nor blown away. Perhaps it's what we ordered that made the meal feel heavy, so we are willing to come back again to try some other items on the menu! read more

Today we ordered lomo saltado from 3 differnet locations to compare them and Sanguchon came in 3rd place sadly. We tried their lomo saltado and chicken empanada and was generally disappointed, especially in comparison to the other lomo saltado dishes we were trying The rice was a sticky rice but very overcooked, we did love the triangle shape though. The lomo saltado just lacked flavor and we were disappointed that the fries were put on top, rather than stir fried and soaking in the juices. The price was fair for the portion ($19.75) but we got way more food for $22.8 from the other two places we tried. The chicken empanada was huge but just kinda tasted like shredded chicken in a light tomato sauce? very juicy but again, not very flavorful read more

The fried crispy chicken sandwich is incredible! Perfectly balanced in flavor and textures! Crunchy, saucy with a subtle spiciness. read more

It's hard to pass up Peruvian food--it is just savory perfect. And I would recommend this place. The key for Peruvian, for me, is aji de gallina. Theirs is not quite creamy enough, a little heavy, and not exactly the aji flavor that you expect in this dish when perfected. But still, an aji de gallina bowl for 16 bucks, delightful! The empanada was also good, and the dough was unique, almost more like sweet dough than empanada crusty. I would surely try this place again. Btw, they require vaccines for indoor dining and have three covered tables outside for people from Bakersfield. read more

Delicious Peruvian bowls with tender meat and lots of flavorful sauce. We ordered a bunch of dishes for delivery, and everything came out perfectly and quickly. The aji de gallina bowl I ordered had super tender chicken that was covered in a super flavorful sauce. The flavor was a little reminiscent of Thai curry to me. Overall, a really nice delivery lunch spot. read more

Ah, the land of Machu Picchu, pan flutes, and sangucherias. Sangucherias? What are they, you might ask? Well, for over a decade, I've been a big fan of Mochica and Piqueo's, two of chef Carlos Altamarino's burgeoning Peruvian restaurant empire. He has seven restaurants that have managed to survive the ongoing pandemic, and I just stumbled into this one while walking through the Mission. Not being a food truck junkie, I was not familiar with this spot's genesis as a popular mobile operation. It's a more casual version of his Peruvian comfort food specialties, as the concept of a sangucheria is akin to a Peruvian deli. I ordered the $16.50 Adobo Bowl which was made of slow-cooked duroc pork shoulder in panca paste and cusquena beer. They complied with my request to switch out the side of jasmine rice with a mixed green salad ladled with grilled onions (photo: https://bit.ly/3tgOvY7). The combination worked well together, and now I know what a sangucheria is. That might make me an honorary Peruvian. FOOD - 4 stars...well executed comfort food from the land of the Incas AMBIANCE - 4 stars...liked the space and the art SERVICE - 3.5 stars...quietly efficient TOTAL - 4 stars...let me play my pan flute RELATED - Exploring the Mission?

Aji de gallina and the fried yucca is my go to lunch order. It's yummy comfort food. I like the portion as well. Sometimes if I'm super hungry I eat the whole thing and other times i only eat half and eat the rest for dinner later. read more

Food was pretty good. I especially enjoyed the yucca fries (they're topped with parmesan!) and the passionfruit agua fresca. The interior is quite nice, they have booths for seating as well as small tables near the checkout counter. They also have a small outdoor seating area with small round tables. I do think that they're priced quite steep for the portion size (even for SF) especially for a fast casual establishment which is why it's 4 stars instead of 5. read more

3.5 STARS COVID-19 OUTDOOR DINING What do people like more than the new new? A discount OR BOGO free offer with the new new! Gotta be smart with your monies especially in SF. A month ago, I noticed the Sanguchon sign go up on their first brick and mortar location. During Sanguchon's food truck days, I enjoyed their Peruvian food so I was excited for them. They're sister restaurant to Piqueo's, Mochica, and La Costanera (HMB). They opened about a week and a half ago for takeout, delivery, indoor dining (several tables), and outdoor dining (4 tables on the sidewalk and 2 tables in the parklet). Fast-casual model. Order at the tablet or at the register, seat yourself, they'll bring out your order, and clean up after yourself. M E N U * Empanadas ($7 each) * Antichucos Skewers (2 skewers-$15) * Salads ($13); add protein for $4-$6 * Wraps ($14) * Sandwiches ($14.25-$15.25) * Rice Bowls ($15.75-$17.85); add egg +$2 * Sides: Coleslaw, Fries, Yucca Fries ($5) Complimentary citrus infused water (self-serve). Beer, wine, sangria, and low abv cocktails available. YELP CHECK-IN DEAL: 25% off!!! Order at the register (not the self-serve tablet) to take advantage of the discount. There's a SF healthy surcharge. Not sure the exact % but I saw it auto-added to each line item on the screen. C O V I D - 1 9 S A F E T Y P R E C A U T I O N S * Some staff wore masks properly. * Plexi-glass barrier at the register. * Wrapped compostable utensils. * Outdoor tables spaced out more than 6-8 feet. * Hand sanitizer at multiples areas. D R I N K S / F O O D (Food spread: https://bit.ly/3dLLRDW) * Moscow Mule w/ sake-infused vodka, ginger beer, mint & lime (HH-$8, Regular-$12): https://bit.ly/3xjkSan Didn't taste like a MM to me but it gave me a buzz which is rare for a low abv cocktail. That's what's important. * Anticuchos de Corazón w/ grilled potatoes & cilantro chimichurri (2 skewers-$15): While the beef hearts had good char on the edges, they were too tough. The accompanying potato (soft) with creamy huancaína sauce was good though. * Ají de Gallina: Shredded chicken in a creamy chile-amarillo stew, served w/ jasmine rice & salsa criolla ($15.75) Fairly large chunks of stringy chicken breast in a creamy sauce. Had the chicken been shredded more finely, to absorb more of the sauce, the texture would have been more enjoyable. It was missing the salsa criolla so it was one-note. Rice was cooked fine. * Lomito al Jugo: Stir-fried beef tenderloin with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, soy sauce & fries, served w/ jasmine rice & salsa criolla ($17.85) Compared to their food truck, it's not as flavorful and tender as I remember it to be with a fraction of the protein (5-6 pieces of beef) and hella rice. I like the ripen tomatoes, sautéed red onions, and crunchy fries though. * Yucca Fries ($5 x2) LOVED IT! So glad we ordered two sides so we had our own. The yucca fries (7 pc) were hot and crunchy on the outside and fluffy soft on the inside. Tossed with minced garlic and parsley. The accompanying huancaína sauce was creamy with a touch of sweet heat. S E R V I C E Polite and prompt. Food was delivered to us outside within 10 minutes. Suggestions: Labelling the litter, recycle, and compost bins. Overall, the food was decent but without the discount, some of the prices are steep for a fast-casual eatery...even for SF standards. 3.5 stars rounded up for the check-in deal. read more

First time tasting Peruvian cuisine! I wanted something unique on Valencia, so some of my friends recommended trying out Sanguchon. I was more than down, since I hadn't had Peruvian cuisine anytime prior. The interior was modern and clean, but their tablet ordering system wasn't working :( Anyway, onto the food- they were shortstaffed the day that my friends and I went, so it took a while for the food to come to us. But lo and behold, our orders came! This was mine: *yuca fries ($6.00): really starchy garlic fries. This was really filling on its own! *aji de gallina bowl with an egg ($19): for the portion, I thought that this was pricey. The cheese-turmeric-Aji Amarillo sauce served on top of the bowl was extremely creamy and savory, and the egg was the cherry on top though. Super filling as well! *alfajores ($4): a melt-in-your-mouth, blissful experience to eat. Even though it's albeit on the pricier end, I'd wanna stop by this spot again! Especially with the Yelp check-in 10% discount. read more

Stopped here for lunch on Sunday while exploring our city. I love Peruvian food and like finding new places to try. We ordered: 1) Empanada (mushroom) - At first kiddo was a bit skeptical about this empanada as it was dusted with powdered sugar. However, she ended up liking it a lot and stated the dough itself was flaky and the filling was flavorful. 2) Papas a la Huancaina - It's been a while since I've last had this and was so looking forward to it. Unfortunately, this dish lacked flavor for me. The sauce was pretty thin and had no flavor. 3) Anticuchos (corazon) - This was probably my favorite dish. It's pricey at $15, but it's 2 skewers on top of greens and includes a potato. The marinade on this mixed with the vinaigrette from the greens was sooo good. 4) Pan con Chicharron - Hubs ordered this one with fries. I like the combo of the pork with the sweet potato. It wasn't dry and had good flavor. 5) Lomito al Jugo bowl - kiddo ordered this one and didn't let any of us try it cuz he was enjoying it so much. He ate it all up! Staff was friendly and there were plenty of seats indoor and out. Overall an enjoyable lunch. I'd go back to try their other dishes. read more

Great food. I enjoyed the chicken sandwich I ordered. The ambiance is great for the space. I think if they move to a bigger space they could easily transition into a full restaurant. For now it's like a super classy fast food joint. I'd recommend it. read more

Stopped by here for a quick dinner with some friends! I really enjoyed the Fried Chicken Sandwich - the meat was tender and well-seasoned. The sandwich was really flavorful and had a few different sauces (though it was a bit messy to eat lol). My other friend got the lomo saltado sandwich - he really enjoyed the tender meat and flavors, but wasn't a fan of the added mayonnaise (though that's probably just personal preference). Though this place is a little bit pricey for sandwiches, it is definitely worth giving it a try! read more

Wow!!! I walked pass this placed for three weeks and finally walked, best decision of the day. For some reason I am having a hard time finding authentically seasoned food (if that makes sense). The food that tastes as if someone's grandmother made it, perfectly seasoned not lacking flavor. Well this place is it, everything I ordered was amazing not too salty just perfect, as if I was in Peru, I can't wait to come back and try other menu items! *for those complaining about portion size vs price, I don't agree. Under those fresh tomatoes and onions is a full portion of beef... So $18 is a good price!!!! read more

One of the spots I constantly crave. After spending time in Peru, I can confidently say the food here is both authentic and absolutely delicious. My go-to dishes are the Lomo Saltado and Aji de Gallina -- both are full of flavor and incredibly satisfying. read more

My husband's client lives right by this place so we decided to try it on the whim. Lomo saltado sandwich is a must!! The flavor and texture of the meat is on point and the portion is pretty generous. My husband tried the chicharron sandwich and it's quite rich (a little too much for my liking). Parking is tough because it is the mission district, and it's a bit pricey for 2 sandwiches (almost $40). I get it, inflation is a beeeotch! read more

I walked by this place and wanted to give it a try. I got the fried chicken sandwhich and it was by far one of the best chicken sandwhiches I have ever had. The Asian style sauce in it was so good with the coleslaw. I highly recommend trying the chicken sandwhich read more

Rice was rather hard, but the pork carried the bowl with its tenderly braised texture that melts in between your tongue and palate. The flavor is on the lighter side of typical adobo fare, and certainly reflects a stamp that is notably Peruvian. Not a fan of over-hard fried eggs, so that's a no from me. No comment on raw onions.

As promised, we went back. Another show at The Marsh, and Sanguchon is an easy walk. This time I had the pork sandwich again (Pan Con Chicharron).... Just PERFECT, and I'm not the most generous critic. This time I also tried an aqua fresca. Not sure but I think it was cherry. Though it might have been "chica morada" (made from purple corn). Delicious! My husband had the adobo. He doesn't even know what adobo is but took a chance. It was fine but for me the sandwich is the standout. I would literally drive from mid-Peninsula, where we live, to SF just to dine again at Sanguchon. I might try a different dish....but probably only in addition to the Pan Con Chicarron. It was very chilly so we opted to sit inside. I love that it is QUIET. No blasting music or clattery din from the kitchen, which you can see. I give five stars because this restaurant DELIVERS on what it sets out to do. I don't compare it to a Thomas Keller restaurant and so stint on the stars. Definitely worth what I consider the modest price. Restaurants have been hit hard with food inflation. Go! You won't be sorry! read more

Great little eatery on Valencia with outdoor seating. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and didn't have to wait to order. I had the pan con chicharrones, which was filled with very tender delicious pork- crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sandwich also had fried yam and onions with light mayo. Overall, it was an excellent sandwich; very filling. Would highly recommend! read more

Little hole in the wall, if your in the mission district and looking for some rich Latino food, I highly recommend this place. I have the lomo saltado sandwich crunch on the outside and supper moist. My husband had the chicharon sandwich that was also delicious, and it had sweet potatoes with pickled onions to die for with so many flavors. We also ordered a side of yuca frita with garlic fries. Let's not forget the happy hour menu from 3-7pm. Very welcoming and clean space. Inside and out side sitting. read more

Best pork tacos of my entire life. Chicken empanadas were solid but I seriously cannot recommend the chicharron more!

I ordered the pan con chicharron for lunch and it was so delicious!! It looked kinda unassuming from the outside, but bread was soft and the pork was tender. I especially loved how the slightly sweet yams and the crunchy onions made for great contrast. It came with a large amount of meat, and I could only finish half of it. I do wish there was some more aioli, since some bites were on the drier side, but overall, an amazing and well balanced sandwich. read more

TL;DR - Delicious, fun, and casual! I can see this as a GREAT first date spot or a 1-1 lunch date! The ambiance is lively and clean, the food is delicious, and the drinks are either cocktails or canned. This place canbe hard for big groups though since there's limited seating, but it doesn't mean you can't order to go and go to the park. What I recommend: Adobo Bowl - This was just SOOOO SAVORY! Served with white rice, this saucy, melt-in-your-mouth pork goodness was delightful. Every bite was good. This is not for someone who's on a diet though. It's rich and heavy, but worth every calorie. Quinoa Salad: Looks simple, has a great bite! Light and refreshing. Tacos De Chicharron: Comes with two tacos and a great aioli sauce. My only comment was that the meat was on the drier side and I definitely needed something to drink. Overall, really lovely restaurant! read more

I like the sandwiches here. I recently got one to go and it was good. Well my guy wanted to eat there on the weekend abs so we did. We both got a sandwich except mine came with the guys hair on it. That is kind of gross and I am not going to eat food with someone's hair on it. My guy picked off the hair and when I told him to tell the guy there's hair in it because I am not going to eat that he wouldn't tell the guy about it because he had already picked off the hair. Instead he casually asked him for bread. I do like the food there but I do not eat food that has someone's hair in it read more

Even while congested and getting over booster symptoms, the Sanguchon food hit the spot. We had the adobo sandwich, which was all kinds of porky delicious balanced out by cole slaw. Lime flavors, with plenty of slow burn spice to back it up, though by the halfway point, the sandwich bread was too soft to eat with anything but fork and knife. Lomo saltado with rice and some fries was really well done. The marinade had a zing to it, and the sauce went well with the jasmine carbs. We had canned rose and a chicha morada (blue corn cooked down with fruit and cinnamon). Looking forward to going back! read more

This empanada de hongos (mushroom empanada) came out so warm and felt so homemade!! It was rlly different from other empanadas I've had + the powdered sugar on the top was a nice touch. The yellow sauce was also added a nice flavor (I think it's queso but its flavor is subtle). The dough is soft buttery and reminds of quiche crust for some reason? Rlly fast and friendly service, very clean, and efficient store layout. Would def come back to try more dishes! read more
