This was my first time trying Peruvian food and I was absolutely amazed…read more I started off with the Bomba Del Amor cocktail. It was delicious and not too sweet, still being able to taste a little liquor; I like when cocktails are a balance of sweetness and liquor. Not to mention the presentation was great. My mom and I then shared the ceviche mixta; it was a mix of white fish, shrimp and octopus. I only ate the white fish because I'm picky, but it tasted great in the soy/ginger sauce. The taro chips were a perfect addition to the dish. I then had the Caribbean Mule cocktail. I am also a big fan of that one! I'm so glad I got to try two different house cocktails. And finally, the Lomo Saltado. I could not get enough of this dish. The meat was perfectly tender, and the sauce was so good I had to eat it with the rice too. I don't usually like french fries that are too large and potato-y, but these fries were the perfect balance. I am very impressed and will definitely be returning. Thank you to our server Carlos for making sure our experience was perfect!

The desserts were fine too, although the alfajores weren't the best I've had around these parts. All the entrees were flavorful and service was very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is unassuming from the outside but has a spacious dining room with high ceilings so your group can talk comfortably. They have a variety of items I'd try on another visit such as empanadas, Fettuccini a la Huancaina, fried rice, and rotisserie chicken. If you're craving Peruvian food in the Peninsula, consider stopping by Rockoto in downtown SSF!

The TV series is long gone, and my attitude is now properly adjusted. The upper floor dining area can be reached by a magnificent staircase (or an elevator). The view outside is stunning at sunset, waves, beach, breakers and all. But be sure to be seated on the water side, because the parking lot dominates the view otherwise. Two dramatically lit bars are very eye-catching, one upstairs, the other down below. There is something about dining beneath a soaring cupola that is elegant beyond description. Soft music enhanced the mood. My order was BBQ Ribs ($19.00), nominally an appetizer, and a side of coconut rice ($6.00). The ribs were a very generous portion, tender, and glazed with a truly excellent BBQ sauce. Honestly, the glaze was better than I've had in restaurants specializing in ribs. The coconut rice was as good as I could imagine, perfectly steamed, and a generous portion to boot. The combination was mouth watering as well as satisfying. Peruvian beer, specifically Cuzquena Lager was the perfect libation. Karen C. was the server, and she displayed absolutely no characteristics of a Miami Vice villain. She was prompt, accurate and friendly. She did not need an attitude adjustment. The restaurant is a few miles north of HMB, and well worth the drive with a very adequate parking lot servicing the shopping center.

Very disappointed with the anticuchos…read more I'm Peruvian and grew up eating anticuchos, so I know how they are traditionally prepared and what they should taste and feel like. When I ordered them, they specifically asked me how well-done I wanted them, and I requested medium-well. Unfortunately, what I received was extremely hard, overcooked, and heavily seasoned. It did not have the grilled flavor or texture I would expect from properly prepared anticuchos. If the restaurant does not grill their anticuchos, I really believe that should be disclosed when ordering, especially when you're being asked how you want them cooked. At $17, this was absolutely not worth it. I honestly felt misled by the dish. I'm leaving this review because I would hate for someone else to spend $17 expecting traditional Peruvian anticuchos and have the same experience. I would personally recommend skipping the anticuchos and ordering something else.

The only small downside is when you sit outside. There are glass panels around the seating area, so you can see the ocean, but I wish they were clearer or not there at all. It would be much nicer to have an unobstructed view of the ocean. But honestly, that's a very small thing. The food was good, the atmosphere was great, and I really enjoyed my time there.

This is a large location, with spaces for events! I came here just to dine with a friend and was…read moresurprised to see the place packed on a Thursday night. That said, it wasn't the most comfortable seating, although it is atmospheric. Our table was near some stairs and it felt like the staff had to squeeze through. Like a lot restaurants now, it is a bit loud to have an intimate conversation -- surprising to see so many business groups here. Perhaps that's a plus because there's no way someone can eavesdrop on you. There is an extensive ceviche menu, so I had high hopes and tried 2 of them. We also got the bucatini with seafood and the lomo saltado. This is a good amount of food for 2 people -- perhaps just right for a big eater, but definitely too much for me. Honestly? The ceviche was just ok. I got the local halibut and the leche de Tigre. Both of them felt a bit under seasoned. The fixings was nice but the amount of seafood didn't warrant the prices. The bucatini was delicious and studded with crab meat and scallops -- it was definitely my favorite dish. The lomo saltado had tender beef and fried potatoes, but it, again, did not warrant the high price even though I did enjoy it. Oh, did I mention that it was *pricy*? Even for San Francisco, especially for a honey dish like Lomo Saltado -- I didn't think it was classed up enough for the ~$50 price. Yes you read that right! Anyway, this is a great place to use your expense account. However, don't even think about coming here on personal funds. The food was decent but extremely overpriced; you could be seated in an area without any view; and the drinks (I got the pisco sour) was weak and not even close to what I've gotten on my travels to South America.

If you want amazing food and a great time I definitely recommend this place. Perfect for having dinner with a loved one or friends.
