First time to Limon and had an amazing experiences. Got their signature dish, calamari with yuca fries, and cauliflower. Everything is amazing. Flavorful, fresh, well presentation. The servers are very friendly. Food came out efficiently despite being a busy Saturday dinner. Will for sure come back, maybe next time for birthday celebration. They offer special birthday dessert celebration with a small firework. There were multiple tables here for celebration when I was there!

La Pasion Margarita.

My husband and I have always loved going to Limon in Burlingame and we especially love the Redwood City location. The atmosphere and overall decor inside of the restaurant is gorgeous. We love the service we receive every time- the staff are always so attentive and friendly. The food also is so good- we recently tried some of the sushi rolls specifically at the Redwood City location ontop of other classics like Lomo Saltado, yuca and platanos fritos. Might I also add- their drinks are phenomenal!

Arroz con Mariscos
Alex S.

Absolutely delicious! This restaurant is a little on the pricey side but it's a good spot to splurge at. Every single thing I tasted had such great flavor. The arroz mariscos is probably the biggest serving. So if you're really hungry I would recommend that one! It has mussels, shrimp, and fish. We were celebrating a birthday and right before coming to our table to sing they turned up the music in the whole restaurant and really made the birthday feel special. Service was also spot on. Refills came quickly. Plates were cleared as soon as we were finished. We had a party of 6 and gratuity was included in our bill. Will definitely recommend this spot to friends and family. It's a great spot for a date night.

Ceviche Camarones with Yuca chips maybe?
Jennifer V.

For my visit, the hospitality was top notch and the food, very delicious. Came in for lunch with two friends. We ordered: Camarones Crocantes $20: yummmm, saucy, crispy. I could order a plate to eat as a meal. Bruselas $12: Also yum! I didn't expect much, but it was pleasantly tasting veggie dish. Great to order and snack on. Ceviche Limón w/ taro chips $30+: you request the taro chips, but I don't remember seeing it on the menu or where my friend saw it. She just asked for it and they brought it out. Really good choice, the chips were perfect with the ceviche. Lomo Saltado $34: friend said it was salty, which I'm not surprised with the name haha, but it came with seasoned rice that I thought could cut through the saltiness well. Half Chicken $24: the chicken was bomb. Good seasoning and still very moist and tender. The skinny fries were okay, but forgettable, and it came with a nice salad to cut through the savory dish. My favorite part was the aji amarillo sauce. No idea what's in it, but I loved it. I would have preferred thicker fries for this dish. It's a solid lunch choice if you're deciding where to eat with coworkers, and it's a great choice for bringing a client. The staff were incredibly professional and attentive. We went a little after noon for lunch and it wasn't too crowded (just three tables including us). If you need to have a more private or intimate conversation, there's plenty of seating for that. It's a good place to eat at again to try other dishes. I want to order my friend's ceviche dish next time, the arroz con mariscos dish, and the nikkei rolls. I saw they also have a Mountain View location, so I'll be giving that place a try soon.

Very modern and nice looking restaurant. Great food and cocktails. We really enjoyed mocktails! Coming especifically to Redwood city location for their sushi menu.

Amazing restaurant! Have been wanting to go to a Limon location for a very long time and finally had the occasion to go. Everything was great: the atmosphere was nice, the design inside was cute, and the most important - the food was spectacular! some of the combinations I've never tried before and was pleasantly surprised. The drinks were also good, not watered down at all. Will be back!

Oysters
Ruby C.

Came here for a friend's birthday and it was a fun time! The drinks here are pretty good and definitely good for a girls night out. We got some oysters, ceviche, lomo saltado, and some sushi to share. Food was pretty good, my favorite was the lomo saltado and oysters. The sushi and ceviche were just okay not my favorite. Also got some free desserts since it was her birthday and those were also delicious! Overall would come back for a nicer dinner.

Inside
Allison W.

Came here on a Tuesday evening for dinner with 2 friends and had a reservation. The interior is very well-decorated and pretty. The music can be a bit loud, and it you have a birthday, they crank up the music as the staff comes out with a dessert and a sparkler (this place seems popular for birthdays, we saw 3 celebrations here). Our food came out relatively fast and were in good portions. I got the Mixto Rocoto Ceviche with Taro Chips and the Chicha Morada. The drink was a good sweetness that complemented the dish well. Plenty of tender seafood, and the Taro Chips are a must to contrast with some saltiness and starch. Good place for Peruvian food, would come back again!

Ribeye with fries and extra Chimichurri (2oz)
Vanessa D.

I've lost count of how many times I've been to Limón in Redwood City & lowkey shocked this is my first review. Short story short, this is one of my faves and have gone to 4 of their locations. My standard order is the lomo saltado with chicha morada--sometimes the classic drink, sometimes the chicha morada sour--and it never misses. On my most recent visit, I switched things up and ordered the ribeye but asked for fries instead of the potatoes it usually comes with. Honestly? Game changer. The server even commented he'd never seen anyone order it that way before, and it ended up being incredible--basically a Peruvian take on steak frites. I also tried extra chimichurri, but for future me (and anyone else ordering): the sauce you really want extra of is the other one that comes with the dish. The chimichurri is fine, but the star is the original sauce. A couple other things worth noting: * Service is consistently fantastic, whether I come on a random Thursday lunch when the place is quiet or during a packed dinner service. * The food quality is always spot on--flavorful, satisfying, and honestly addictive (if I had a therapist, they'd probably call it an obsession). Bottom line: Limón is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. If you're in Redwood City and craving Peruvian food, you CAN go wrong if you don't come here

Went here with my parents while they were visiting. We started off with sushi but forgot to take a picture. Sushi was my favorite! Lomo saltado was a bit salty but still good. The desserts were delicious and light after all the food we had

Pisco sour
Cheryl M.

Not new to Limón Restaurants as my first visit was about 20 years ago to their original location in the Mission District, San Francisco. Limón features their usual modern take on Peruvian cuisine & Latin Asian influences and has since expanded to 5 other locations. I've been to the Walnut Creek and frequent the Mountain View location and most recently, the newish location in Downtown Redwood City. Interior is beautiful and modern - integrating natural elements like plants and natural materials into the space that makes it so inviting and draws you in. Love! First visit was about a month ago and seated at the bar which was perfectly fine. If you don't have a reservation and party of 2, you will be seated there or have the option of outside (few tables). Recent visit was last night and made a reservation for 3. With both visits, service is friendly, helpful and professional. Mario was our server (7/10/25) and was very patient explaining the menu items as my friend is particular (eye roll). Dishes are nicely prepared and cooked perfectly but can be overly seasoned or too much sauce and noted on both visits. BRUSELAS - Roasted brussel sprouts, ginger miso glaze. parmesan cheese. First bite good then you get any brussel sprout with glaze and it's salty!! 3/5 this dish would benefit from LESS is more. PIQUEOS (small plates) to try: :: JALEA - fried calamari, white fish shrimp - lightly battered with a delicious yuzu :: CAMARONES CROCANTES Lightly battered jumbo shrimp, rocoto-sriracha aioli, & green onions. - light and delicious with the accompanying sauce :: EMPANADA SAMPLER - cheese, mushroom, beef and chicken - all yummy :: POLLO ALA BRASA - Served with ají amarillo sauce, french fries, and house salad. - Simple, juicy and delicious They now have a Nikkei Rolls menu available with about 7 options. Ordered: :: BEEF ANTICUCHERO Shrimp tempura & avocado roll, topped with seared beef tenderloin (on the side) for the vegetarian. Meat on its own was salty as well. I'm sure with the roll it would've balanced a bit. Didn't order any ceviche these visits but will definitely get it next time I visit on my own. DRINKS - nice and strong - had the sangria and pisco sour and it hit me with one drink! Bartender was nice and friendly and busy with the drink orders. Overall, really like the Redwood City location vibe and variety of food. FEEDBACK: cut back on the sauces and salt and dishes would be great. I see it's mentioned in about 8 other reviews as well so not isolated to my 2 visits. Happy Hour pricing from 3-6pm. Pricing $$$ (small plates average $20) but worth a visit. Street parking and paid lots available

At the ceviche bar ...
Pallavi P.

This is going to be our neighborhood favorite for special (or any) occasions! Walked in on a Friday evening without prior reservations, but we able to get seated by the vehicle bar right away. If you can, make reservations for a table, since the vibe is cool, hip and elegant. We started of with the spicy ceviche, the ceviche Límon which we got with the taro chips for an extra charge, and the trio of leche de tigre. Both ceviches cake with crunchy Peruvian corn, did not smell the least bit fishy, were delicious with a perfect combination of salty, sour and fresh sea food. However, they both tasted very similar and it would have been good had it server informed us of that when ordering. The taro chips added a great crunch and complemented the softness of the ceviche beautifully. The trio of leche de tigre were much appreciated too. Next we got the whole fried snapper, the pork belly with fried rice, chicken skewers and beef tongue served with mashed potatoes. Everyone loved the entrees, but thought the pork belly dish was a bit too salty and paired in comparison to the others. The portions were generous and prices reasonable for the portions. Being too full after all this good we had to pass on the dessert, but we now have a favorite Peruvian spot in the neighborhood!

Christine D.

FLAVOR (4/5): Calamari with the chips was solid! Not your normal calamari, this one was zingy and fresh. For my entree I got the lomo saltado which was also nice but super filling! INSTAGRAM WORTHY (4/5): Restaurant interior is beautiful and so is their food. Everything was vibrant and colorful which made it that much more appetizing. SERVICE (5/5): Easy to book a reservation for and servers were so kind! They definitely can host a bigger party even when it's a lunch rush. TAKEAWAYS: Not cheap, but good food in downtown Redwood City!

I've been coming here since I was about 5 years old, and it's still one of my favorite Peruvian…read morerestaurants to this day. My family and I would always come here for birthday dinners or stop by on our way back to San Jose from San Francisco. Walking in always feels warm and welcoming with all the Peruvian paintings and decor throughout the restaurant. One of my favorite things is introducing my friends to this place because they always end up loving it too! The food here has always been consistently delicious and never disappoints and the customer service is great as well! If you're looking for authentic Peruvian food with a welcoming atmosphere, this place is definitely worth visiting.

We were laughing when I took the picture of the lomo because where else do you get to have fries, rice AND bread? The lomo was juicy and easy to eat, the onions were on point- not evenly cooked with a bite, and the fries were bomb. The portion is very generous- two can share or you can indulge. For health reasons one cousin chose the chicken, and she was sad because it wasn't as good. The table next to us had the duck and rice, and they reported that it was delicious. The cousins will be getting that next time. That plate looked like it could have fed four girls easily. The staff is very attentive. The owner was there, and he was very friendly to chat with. The old school restaurant interior is decorated with lots of Peruvian things. They have the TV going on along with music, but you can hold a conversation easily. It's on a meter free block with maybe a 1-2 hour limit, and the rest of the area has meters.

The service was genuinely friendly and attentive from start…read moreto finish, and the menu is impressively diverse with something for everyone (though vegetarians may have fairly limited options). The restaurant was a little more than half full when we had dinner there on a Friday night and the ambiance is lively but not loud. We ordered a variety of dishes and everything was delicious, with very generous portion sizes that left us so full (with leftovers to spare). The ceviches were bright, limey, and tart in the best way, the chicken wings were crispy and juicy, the papa rellena was especially interesting (almost like an inside-out, deep-fried baked potato) with olives and raisins that were a pleasant surprise, and the lomo saltado was as comforting and dependable as it usually is. To top it all off, they even offer Peruvian beers, which was the perfect way to wash everything down. The location is a little bit odd but easy enough to find and park (there is plenty of parking across the main street in front of the BevMo if there isn't any directly in front of the restaurant).

I was skeptical when my coworker mentioned Peruvian food because I've BEEN to Peru for two…read moreweeks,and didn't like the food there. This place really changed my mind. If this place was in the Mall it would dominate. This place is a couple blocks away, kind of hidden on a main row. Coworker got the Tallarin Salteado which was basically a steak spaghetti and she liked it a lot. They give you complimentary bread, just beware the green avocado one is spicy! It does NOT look spicy, but it is! I got the La Ronda Plate which had 3 items: combination plate of fried calamari, fish ceviche and seafood rice or seafood fried rice....everything was really good and fresh. It had flavor and really was cooked well, unlike the seafood and rice I had in Peru where my complaint was no flavor. Heck, go here and it will save you the plane fare! Got their Chicha Morada, pricey at $6.95 with purple corn pineapple & spices, I would probably not get this again because it was kind of like a bland drink to me...instead I would get their passionfruit drink next time. Both of us got their homemade flan which was a 5/5! Would definitely come back to try more dishes in the future.
