    Lomo a Lo Pobre
    Thaybeth M.

    Came a Friday night with a friend around 7PM and the spot wasn't super busy. We were able to get a table immediately, and were in and out in around an hour and a half. Ordered the yucca a la Huancaina as an appetizer and it was very good. The yucca was fried to perfection, crispy outside and soft on the inside. It was accompanied by a sauce based on butter and garlic with a touch of spicy that complemented the yucca very nicely. For the meal, I ordered the lomo saltado a lo pobre. I asked if the egg could be over hard (which is unusual), and they were very attentive to detailed, so I appreciate that it came as ordered. The white rice did come with corn, which I like, but it's something to keep in mind if you don't like that as it's not disclosed on the menu. The actual lomo was very tasty, the meat was juicy and soft. Overall, would highly recommend. The sever was very attentive and friendly, and the food was very good. Important to highlight that this is a family friendly spot.

    Was craving Peruvian food and had heard so many great things about this place, so I decided to give it a try and ordered through Postmates. My order arrived in about 40 minutes, still warm and fresh, which is always a good sign! I went with the Lomo Saltado, and wow... it did not disappoint. I've had plenty of Lomo Saltados before, and many places tend to overload the fries while skimping on the protein. Not here! This dish was packed with tender, flavorful beef, perfectly cooked vegetables, and just the right amount of fries to balance it all out. The portion size was very generous....you can tell they don't hold back. I even got a fresh piece of bread on the side, which was a nice surprise. I also tried the Chicharrón de Calamares, and it was equally delicious. The calamari was perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. Again, generous portions and plenty of protein which I really appreciate. From start to finish, the food was flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. Portion sizes are excellent, the quality is spot-on, and everything arrived warm and ready to enjoy. This is definitely going to be my go-to spot whenever I'm craving Peruvian food. Next time I'm planning to try it in person to experience the full atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    8/9/24 Loved every dish here, the workers are nice and the owner was very friendly. Portion size is huge and should be shared Chicharron Al ajo ($16) - comes topped with a lot of garlic and with a lemon sauce that I'd come back for Lomo a lo pobre ($26) - huge portion with lots of meat. Flavor was a little light but eat it with the sauce from the seafood dish Picante de mariscos ($27) - lots of seafood in a slightly spicy sauce. Really good Peruvian ice cream - very creamy and tastes like caramel

    This was a delicious spot for Peruvian food! The atmosphere is family owned cozy, and we ordered the Lomo a lo pobre, yucca a la huancaina, and from their weekend special menu choros ala chalaca (mussels). The lomo was yummy and paired with all the other food was enough for two. The cassava fries were HOT and fresh and had a tasty sauce. The mussels were yummy and had a very limey sharp topping, similar to a ceviche. Don't forget to try the Chicha Morada (purple corn juice) if you're feeling adventurous and want to try a new drink! So delicious, we shared the half liter but could've had a full.

    Came here for lunch with friends. They raved about the restaurant so I let them order. Everything we had was fantastic and authentic tasting. I even enjoyed my sangria. It wasn't iced down like most restaurants do. We had a dish with steak and fries and onions. It was delicious. Even the bread was good with butter and a spicy sauce we put on it. We also had a cilantro rice with Chicken. My husband hates cilantro but he enjoyed this rice dish and it was so flavorful. We also had a dish that looked like paella but was actually a seafood rice. I loved it. The last dish was a spaghetti dish with chicken. Very flavorful and tasty. All in all - very nice restaurant. Service was on

    This place was recommended by a coworker and since we were in town we decided to give it a try. I am glad we decided to give it a try because it did not disappoint. The workers were amazing and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and the decor was nice. Parking was a bit difficult to find, but we expected this from San Francisco. The bread and sauce given at the beginning were delicious. I could not get enough and wanted more. The Lomo saltado needed a bit more seasoning, but it was still good. The pescado sudado was very good that I finished it all. The portions were great and I would be definitely be coming back when in the area.

    The way I had been CRAVING lomo saltado for at least a year & I was so much more than satisfied. I ate the entire serving lol Can't recommend this place better. They're patient when ordering have no issues explaining what things are or recommending their favorites. Please give them a shot. Seems family owned which is a big win for me.

    I'm content with the food. Been recommended this place when I wanted to try Peruvian food. As time went by other places have popped up but Mi Lindo Peru seems like a classic for the city. The service was on point and always attentive and the whole staff was nice. They refilled our waters and check on us often but not overdoing it. We started with ceviche mixto and a papa rellena. The ceviche was so good with a burst of flavour. The lemon juice itself was so comforting and yum. I felt like I needed avocado but that's fine. Love the banana chips, corn pops, the chunks of potatoes on the side. The papa rellena was so savouriy and not greasy at all. Add ají Amarillo to it if you want it spicy. As for drinks, we went for the chicha morada. The purple drink. Perfect amount of spices and refreshing. Lomo a lo pobre was an abundant portion of almost everything. Fried plantains, rice with kernels, and the beef with tomatoes and onions. The sauce is really the star of the show. The fried runny on top was a nice touch and totally fulfilling. I'll come back with a friend or family memeber to introduce them to Peruvian cuisine. A pisco sour would be nice

    Came here Friday night for dinner. It feels like a hole in the wall spot. The servers are so nice and helpful. It was our first time trying Peruvian food and they reccomended so many great dishes and even showed us the dishes as they brought it out for other tables. The fried chicken with garlic was by far the star of the meal. It was so flavorful with the garlic and then the sauce was lemony and fresh. The pickled onions on the side paired well with all the flavors. The seafood curry was cooked well and came with lots of seafood. All the dishes were huge. Perfect for family style. The Peruvian ice cream was different but delicious. It's made from a Peruvian fruit and tasted kinda like caramel. Overall a great experience :)

    05.24.2023 - Hole in the wall. Nestled in the bustling area of mission, never would have thought a delicious Peruvian restaurant existed. Very quaint with the most minimal decoration and with only one television mounted on a wall, this furreal is a hole in the wall joint. A basket of bread served with butter and salsa. It's so good that it kept going in our mouth. After the 2nd round, we had to force ourselves to stop. You have to get their sautéed mushrooms with garlic. After forcing ourselves to stop eating bread, the mushrooms forced us to start again. Soaking the bread in the garlicky oil with mushroom on top was so friggin delish! Guess what? We had to order a 2nd round of sautéed mushrooms. Call us fat, cuz we "phat." Plantains with sour cream. This is considered breakfast in some cultures, but it can easily be considered as a dessert course. The plantains had sweet caramelized edges, soft and gooey centers, and the sour cream just added the perfect creaminess and tart to this simple, but phenomenal dish. Homemade sangria. It's supppppppper booozy. They don't play. Tiny diced up fruits, not too much, and even with ice, it didn't taste watered down. A legit glass of sangria. Inca Kola is not coke. Tasted like Ramune. Super sweet, not my style. All of their main dishes comes in size small or large. Their small portion is still very generous. Pescado saltado (small) was a dish made up of fried red snapper, fries and a side of yellow corn rice. The fish was on the saltier side, but with the rice, it worked! Of course, we had to mix in some of the sautéed garlic in it to enhance the flavor. Paella marinara (large) had fresh seafood. Jumbo shrimp and bay shrimp, calamari, tiny scallops and green mussels. Flavor was a bit bland. Needed some salt. Otherwise, it was good. Lastly, their Peruvian fruit ice cream. It tasted so buttery, toasty, mapley and caramely. We just got one to share, but next time, I'm getting my own! We throw company dinner for our employees and their family. You know what that means??? This place is on our top list to host it this upcoming June. I hope our employees enjoy it as much as we do! Can't wait to try some of their other dishes.

Large, meaty shrimp, good portion of noodles and vegetables, and creamy pasta sauce. I also got the chips, guac, and salsa. Honestly didn't care for the guac too much - was kind of flavorless. But it was some of the best salsa I've ever had. If I was far away I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come back here. Mostly because there's so many other great options in the bay area.

It was my first time ever having beef heart on a skewer; I'd rate it as okay, keeping in mind I don't have another reference point, but it was a bit tough in my opinion. There was a bit of a lull between our drinks and actually ordering, which stalled the momentum, but it did remind me of the importance of being in the moment and not feeling hurried to dine and leave. Overall, it actually made for a good experience. The drinks were great, there was excellent latin music selection and the floor to ceiling windows make for great people-watching!

We were promptly seated on a Saturday night dinner around 6:15PM even though they were booked online until 7:45. Service was pretty quick and friendly, but you could tell they were trying to push us on selling drinks/appetizers. I felt like the service staff's mood might've changed a little after we were fine with only water (shocker I know, we usually don't order $17 cocktails...). Other appetizer menu items were similar in pricing if not more expensive than entrees themselves. I ordered an Arroz con Mariscos and a Pollo a la Brasa, and was pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes given the upscale restaurant vibe. I was expecting a lot less food, but turns out they gave regular portions, and boy were they GOOD. The paella is a standard paella, and it was very flavorful. Although it came with only a couple shrimp and other seafoods, the portion was still fulfilling for 1 person. To be fair, it's not really portioned to share unless you order a ton of other dishes. The half chicken was one of the best chickens I've had. The seasoning on the skin and the crispiness from the oven perfectly compliments each other, and my mouth is watering as I'm typing this. It's pretty savory, and the flavors soak through into the breast, so you know it's been marinating for a while. The fries reminded me of McDonald's fries cuts, and the salad was sweet and sour. An appetizer wasn't necessary for us, but if you're hungry, then definitely consider ordering one. The vibe was very cozy, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that since we ordered only 2 dishes, the service team kinda rushed us after ~45min of sitting and dining. To be fair, other tables had at least one cocktail per person, but at close to $20 per drink, we could not justify the price. A solid 4 stars!
