Reviews for Limón in Oakland, CA
Brand new Limón Rest. New spot in Oakland seems to be in an up and coming area. The corner spot is perfect for the restaurant.... It provides ample sitting inside as well as a nice area outside. Beautiful decor and ambience. Just like the others, this spotmakes amazing food. Drinks are also pretty good. Highly recommend to visit this place. Read more
I lived for several years as a young teenager on 24th and Valdez one block from here when this entire area was a burned out no... go zone for most people in the Bay area. Imagine my surprise to find this incredible restaurant, not to mention them all thenew buildings in the neighborhood, and discover some of the best roast chicken in the East Bay. Bay. Maybe the best chicken inthe East Bay. Oakland used to be a huge fried chicken and baked chicken and barbecue chicken town, these days. Not so much withchanging tastes. I ordered a half chicken that comes with the salad, Chiclayana, and the Lomo Asado, all of them were absolutelyincredible, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and the staff was super helpful, and told me about the history of therestaurant, and the three brothers who began this business many years ago. Ago. If you're looking to get that chicken cravingtaken care of, this is the place! Read more
Casual Peruvian; good for groups when the company is paying. Food good; Noisy atmosphere inside. There are group tables, which... was good for my work group. However, the open kitchen combined with the acoustics of the space leads to a noisy environmentduring the lunch hour. Although conversation would have been easier if a few design changes had been made, we were able toconverse with some seat jumping. Noticed that there are smaller tables with outdoor seating in a nice environment that isquieter. The place gives a mid-range casual atmosphere, where jeans are perfectly acceptable. But the menu is more high-end. Forexample, there is a $42 stake option. Most plates are $25-30 (in 2022). Maybe I'm not used to inflation yet? No, it's expensive.Which is kinda odd because it isn't a good date atmosphere. We tried the ceviche (nice appetizer), asparagus, empanadas, and Igot the Lengua (beef tongue). All the food was very good. The yuca fries were very salty, but that's true of a lot ofrestaurants, especially fries. Read more
We ordered dinner-to-go for my sister's boyfriend's birthday, and it was such a decadent spread! We ordered the roast chicken... (of course) with the delicious herb sauce, sweet potato and regular fries, ceviche, yuca fries, empanadas and mac andcheese. It was the perfect amount for six people, and it hit the spot for a fancy but comfortable meal. Every dish wasdelicious, and we couldn't pick a favorite. Definitely come here if you're celebrating something special at home. Why cook? Read more
A great addition to the neighborhood. The food was amazing. The cocktails well crafted. Very courteous waite staff. My guests... repeated how happy they were to have found Limon and it's wonderful Peruvian Cuisine. A very vibrant Oakland scene! Not theplace for a quiet cozy dinner. We loved the place! Read more
They are soooo great! The food is delicious. They are truly the most sincere and accommodating restaurant staff I?ve met. When... the food didn?t taste quite how I imagined (still good but more seafood flavor than I was used to for that dish, so I stole myboyfriend?s meal heh), they noticed that I didn?t eat a lot of it and generously removed it from the bill. Then the managerasked for our feedback on all the food and gave more recommendations. We wrapped up with a delicious tres leches cake. Read more
We had our end of the year team lunch here, and the food was amazing. We had ceviche, salad, Brussels sprouts, lomo saltado,... chicken, and empanadas. One of my coworkers got the Panna Cotta for dessert, which looked yummy also. Service was great (bonuspoints for being able to accommodate 24 of us), and I'm sure we'll be back someday. Read more
