"The food here was quite good and I would go back. My only concern was the obvious efforts to get us to leave our table when there were no people waiting to be seated and other tables were empty."

"Go with 3-4 people. Order one of their delicious and potent cocktails containing Peruvian brandy or the excellent sangria. Then proceed to order a juicy, remarkably seasoned and marinated, and perfectly rotisseried whole chicken, which comes with two sides. We love the perfectly crisped yucca fries with dipping sauces. We also had the satisfying Russian salad and green salad. Great meal tthat cost us $25 each. Can't go wrong. Staff is friendly, efficient, and polite. Cool decor. Very clean."

"Six of us dined at Limon Rotisserie on Valencia Wednesday after a play. We had the most delightful and knowledgeable waiter, Greg. Everything he recommended was delicious. The chicken was outstanding: flavorful, tender and moist. All the sides were delicious. I won't list all the small plates we ordered, but they were all excellent. The Sangria was great as well. We'll be back!
I hadn't been to the Mission in years and it was delightful."

"Great food. Generous portions; don't over-order. Roast chicken specialty is terrific. Half chicken enough for two. Peruvian specialties like ceviche also excellent. For Giants fans, Pablo Sandoval frequents the restaurant!"

"We started with a signature prawn and snapper ceviche. This is the rotisserie branch of the mother restaurant, go for the chicken! - a quarter sized white meat special was more than adequate for both of us (get half size, if only ordering one entree). It's accompanied by three sauces and 2 choices of sides (veggies; yucca, sweet potato or french fries; beans and rice; salad). Because the carne empanadas were out, we reluctantly ordered the chicken ones. They turned out to be excellent. We also had the wonderful beet/potato salad. We had excellent pisco based cocktails- let the waitperson guide you to sweet, tart or fruity ones. Portions are quite ample, so unless you plan to take food home, choose conservatively- you can always order more."

"Very noisy. Tuna tartare, empanadas very good. Roast and fried chicken tasty. Ribs flavorful but not tender. All in all, food good but not exceptional. Very noisy. Friendly, helpful staff. Very noisy."

"Amazing pisco sours and nice food overall though I didn't really feel it lived up to the hype. Service was kind of haphazard but reasonably friendly though we found the upswell techniques annoying. But buzzy fun place and decent value for money. Didn't rock my world though like friends had suggested it would,"

"We had a terrible experience at Limon last night, and will not be going back. The food was fine, in fact great, but the service was like nothing else I have ever experienced in a restaurant. Clearly they have a policy to move people through the place as quickly as possible to maximize profits for the night. From the moment we sat down the waitress was on us every minute for us to order. I have never been made to feel so unwelcome in a restaurant in all my life, and the level of stress that the constant pressure to order/eat/order/eat/pay/leave spoiled the evening. I cannot imagine how a restaurant can survive by basically treating their customers like cattle to rush through like on a conveyor belt."

"Great food. Awesome place for a small group of 4-6 because you can try a bunch of small dishes. Also, very nicely priced. We always leave feeling stuffed! And it's really fun to try so many dishes."

"I had a ceviche and a quarter chicken. Neither had much flavor and the chicken was very dry. The ceviche by itself had no bite from whatever citrus it had been "cooked" in and only the sauces made it worth eating. I wouldn't return."

"I've been here before a few times and I just feel like they really dropped the ball this time. I have come to expect much more from Limon. The service was slow, they brought the wrong drink, then charged us for the both the wrong drink and the correct one which we had to remind the server was the actual order, and the food was all a bit off. I might not come back to this Limon."

"The food at Limon was excellent. The chicken was a tender and moist as could be. The dipping sauces were excellent, as well. Although, they had only 1 hot dipping sauce. The only down side, was you were restricted when you ordered the chicken. You had to pick 2 sides rather than one of the other small plates. Service was attentive."

"The food is truly good and presentation well executed. The atmosphere of the place and the ability to speak with the people at the next table, contributed to an overall good time. we look forward to returning and trying the other dishes on the menu we were not able to eat that night. By the way, the cost is very reasonable and its location in the Mission, where so much is going on, only added to a very enjoyable evening."

"Service was pretty miserable. Our waiter was very rude and refused to move us when we asked to move to a different table. The rest of the meal he was brief, quick, and unpleasant. The food was lacking any real authenticity. The chicken was burnt. The salad had no flavor. The beef was good, but could get it anywhere."

"The service was very very slow and because I was catching up with old friends we didn't mind how long it was taking and so didn't say anything but normally most people would have. The server poured my friend's sangria into her water glass and then never brought her fresh water or another drink! The two $$ signs on Yelp is also very misleading. This restaurant is more expensive than that as the portions are extremely small- the whole "family style" thing is their excuse for why you have to order so many dishes. Other than these two things, the food was pretty good and they have an impressive drink menu. I don't think we will ever go back however because in a good restaurant, a drink or dessert is comped when such mistakes are made."

"Always reliably good food and efficient and friendly service. The grilled chicken with sides of sweet potato fries and tuc-tuc (nicely seasoned rice and beans), ceviches of various sorts, and a variety of drinks (really good whisky sours) make this a go-to destination for lunch. I haven't been here for dinner, so I can't comment on that."

"We had a Birthday dinner for a friend at Limon. It was a very pleasant experience. The food was very good. We sampled several dishes each of us ordered a couple of menu items all of which we enjoyed. I'd recommend this place if you enjoy tapas style dining."

"Delicious food, reasonably priced, friendly and helpful waiters. By 6pm on Friday the volume was pretty loud so if you're really trying to have a conversation it can be difficult. We had the chicken and the ceviche mixto, yucca fries and tacu-tacu. I would definitely recommend it with a suggestion to come early for dinner if you want it quieter."

"While the restaurant is listed in the top 100 restaurants for San Francisco, we'd put it in the top 10! Excellent service, wonderful Pisco Sours, succulent ceviche...raves from our entire party of five. And it's reasonably priced too."

"The Bartendar was friendly and attentive and also made delicious drinks. The Waiters were also freindly and helpful with the menu. Finally, the food was absolutely delicious! We were celebrating someone's birthday and they placed a candle on the desert which I thought added a great touch. Love this place!"
