Our favorite was the Empanada de Ajiaco--filling, perfectly crusted, and served with delicious jalapeño cilantro aioli. The Patacones were good, though the beef, onion marmalade, and tropical salsa were a bit sweet for my taste. The Cacao Nariño dessert was amazing, especially with our Carajillos and Espresso Martinis. Friendly service, quick food, and a fun meal overall!

I've always had a great experience, good service and delicious, consistent food. I took myself out to eat recently to work and lunch, and it was great. Order the 1/4 Rotisserie chicken dark meat, with two sides, I used to order it with a side of chifa vegetables but it's something they changed on their menu. I wanted dessert but had no room. I've had the passion fruit panna cotta in the past and it was delicious. Great for a business or celebration dining experience.

While I was in Oakland, I finally got the chance to try the Oakland LIMÓN! I absolutely LOVE the…read moreLIMÓN in San Francisco... it's literally one of my favorite restaurants! So when I found out there was one in Oakland, I had to go try it! When we got there, we were greeted and seated really quickly, which was a plus! I ordered a cup of their sangria, and of course, it was delicious. Anytime I come to LIMÓN, the sangria is a MUST! Normally, my partner and I get a pitcher to share, but this time I just got a cup, and it was still so refreshing and good. We ordered the Saltado de Pollo, which was good, but I have to say, I still think the original Lomo Saltado with beef is WAY better! We also got the truffle mac & cheese, and it was delicious. It wasn't too creamy or too dry.., it was just perfectly cheesy! The Chicharrón de Pollo was SO good! The chicken had a really good crunch, and it comes with this delicious lemonade sauce that you dip the chicken into. Definitely a must try! One thing I really love about LIMÓN is how fast everything comes out. If you're hungry, this is definitely a great spot because your food comes out quickly, fresh, and delicious! The staff was also really kind and helpful. There's plenty of seating and a beautiful bar if you want to come in for a drink and some food. It's a great spot for lunch, dinner, or even a date night! Overall, I had another great experience at LIMÓN, and the Oakland location did not disappoint! I'll definitely be back!

I was nicely surprised they used dinnerware which makes it feel more authentic. There's plenty of inside and outdoor seating as well as booth chair seating looking out.

The staff member who called me notified me that I could reach Martin with having our pre-orders ready because we were on a schedule and wanted to make sure we didn't waste time with people deciding and finally ordering. I emailed the orders a week in advance, and Martin and his team were in touch to confirm our table and presence as they were going to start firing the orders ten minutes before our arrival. Our party of 12 was seated promptly and attended to very well. The orders came out and I was able to direct them to the person who ordered. I even ordered too much for the table in french fries, and they were able to get them to another table and remove them from our tab. I was so grateful as they could have easily refused as they were part of our pre-order and ready to go. They were so prompt that we had an extra 20 minutes before we needed to reconvene our meeting. Everyone enjoyed their meals and I think the team here did above and beyond. The staff was pleasant, receptive and prompt. I would definitely recommend Bocanova for your event.

Stopped in for a quick bite as I just landed and was staying across the street at the Marriott. I browsed the menu and saw they had happy hour and light bites so I figured I'd swing by. I ordered the Ahi Tuna ceviche and Salmon Tacos on their HH menu. The Ahi Tuna might have had .25oz of tuna in there. It was mostly mango, mayo, cucumber, and a little avocado, with a sprinkle of ahi. Would not order again. I know we're in a recession but don't advertise as ahi tuna when you barely get any. You can go to Yard House or BJ Brewhouse and get more Ahi for half the price. The Salmon Tacos were greasy and the salmon was dry; the salsa they put on it wasn't great and the tortilla tasted stale. Staff was attentive and nice and the bar did look appealing plus they played great music, I didn't get a drink this time as I'm on a work trip. But I wouldn't eat here again; I could see this as a fun spot to stop and get a drink with friends. Drinks yes; food no.

I went again recently to celebrate with my daughters and we had the best pupusas. If you want an authentic pupusa and dessert and horchata, this is the most authentic in town.

From the moment we arrived, everything was excellent. The food was fantastic, the ambience was beautiful, the drinks were spot on, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We started with the Trio Ceviche, which was delicious and beautifully presented. My wife had the Paella, and I ordered the Short Ribs--both were absolutely fantastic. Everything was plated beautifully and served quickly without feeling rushed. We also had the pleasure of meeting Miriam, the restaurant manager, who went above and beyond to take care of us. Her warm hospitality really made our evening special and turned a great dinner into a wonderful overall experience. We're already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the delicious dishes on the menu. Casa del Toro is definitely one of our new go-to places to dine! Highly recommended!

A super affordable tasting menu that for only $80 a person and it was such a great value. Started with the fried chicken and guacamole. Now, im not a guac girl, but this was so flavorful and delicious. I really enjoyed it! We also had the pupusas (duh!), the trout (so delicious), veranito loco, and flan for dessert. The most interesting part of the meal was in the middle of it, they served a dish of fruit and veg in a fresh crema. Perfect palate cleanser and super unique! The customer service was absolutely great! Our server answered all of our questions! Great Great Experience over at Popoca, food was great, service was awesome and best of all....they played a ton of Spice Girls. Warmed my millennial heart right up!

It's a pretty small spot but well worth it. You can order from the window or you can sit, look at the menu and then wait. The food takes time to come out but that is because everything is made fresh and to order. I cannot begin to describe how worth it the wait was. We got horchata to sip on while we talked and were kept in good company until we got empanadas, yucas and finally, our pupusas. All I can say it, everything was delicious and made with love. I do wish they have more support but they seem to be doing well since they've been at the spot forever. All I can say is I was speechless once the food came out because I was just eating.
