The food was like "bouquets" of seafood, the way they plattered it. I've had amazing seafood, but the seafood dishes we had at Limón were extraordinary! The color pops in the food presentation were just as vibrant as the Peruvian culture itself. Some of those dishes were enough for two. The combo appetizer alone could've been a meal. Plus their cocktails - whoa! Can I call them healthy? Ahaaaha, well their mocktails certainly were. We had wonderful service by informative waiters. The feel is what I'd call elegant casual. All the decor on their walls and tiling around their bar area are beautiful! Limón in Burlingame is well-located in a corner with entrances on both facing streets. It's right behind a parking lot and directly across additional parking closer to the water. A good amount of indoor and outdoor seating is accessible. This area is hoppin'! Surrounded by local specialty shops, more restaurants, and bakeries - anyone living in the neighboring residential streets are mighty lucky! I am giddy over this dining experience!

Food was great, atmosphere was great, service was great. It was a great evening. It was my last night in the San Francisco area and did not expect to have such an outing. Definitely try the arroz con camarones, the pico on it might have a little kick, but well worth it. Make sure to also reserve a table ahead of time. It starts slow but picks up speed throughout the evening. Regardless, great experience and would definitely make time to make a stop when I fly out west again

One of my favorite restaurants. Their food is very good. Amazing. Normally, I order either a whole or half a chicken, a steak, paella, or pork belly chaufa. My favorite drink by far is their pisco sour, but I have also tried lychee sour, passion fruit sour, la clasica margarita,lychee melon and their sangria but my favorite is just the pisco sour. Another good dinner tonight by far what I would consider one of my favorite restaurants. Update: 06/10/2025 Went to my favorite restaurant for dinner tonight. omg. They were so busy today on a weeknight. It shows I wasn’t wrong. Their service, food and drinks is very good. We ordered: Parilla platter, paella and pork belly chaufa. Omg . So good. For drinks we ordered the regular pisco sour. Today on my pisco sour I had a happy face on my pisco sour for happy hour from the bartender. :) Updated: 07/29/2025 Wanted to eat at one of my favorite locations: as usual, the location was busy but we were always well taken care of, by entire Limon staff as usual. We ordered: Parilla platter, Entire fried Fish with sauce on the side, Pork Belly Chaufa and Jalea. For drinks: Pisco Sour. Omg. By far, one of the best pisco sour in the entire Bay Area. My personal opinion of course. I will be back soon. :)
