Mi Lindo Peru has great Peruvian food  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Erica O. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 6,068

I went to Mi Lindo Peru for the first time recently after hearing a lot of praise for the restaurant. I love Peruvian food, so I was looking forward to trying it out.

I went with 3 others and we were all very pleased with our meals. The sangria was great and the service was attentive.

I had the Peruvian style fried rice with seafood, which was amazing. Unlike most restaurants, they did not skimp on the ingredients. My plate was overflowing with perfectly-cooked calamari, mussels, shrimp and clams.

I would definitely recommend Mi Lindo Peru.

Decent but a little pricy!  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Nicholas Y. | insider Insider | Rank: 13,611

I love Peruvian food, and in San Francisco, there is no better place than Mi Lindo Peru, which offer the best Peruvian food in the city. Despite it's high prices, it is worth it because the dishes are huge, and the servings can easily be shared. The overall service is awesome, and the staff are very friendly!

Peruvian  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Joanne G. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 543

The atmosphere isn't as trendy as other Peruvian restaurants, but they have excellent food! Lots of great seafood dishes, as well as other traditional dishes such as lomo saltado and ceviche. I also love the free bread with salsa they serve. Another must try is their sangria. Waitstaff/owners are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Inca food.  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Julio G. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 4,507

This is a great place to try traditional food from Peru. Most of the dishes are made from potato. My favorite is the ceviche. But you should try everthing because Peruvian food is the best. This place is in mission close to bart.

Great cheap peruvian place 5 Star Rating - World class

By CSMobileUser

I love this place! I've been going here since I was young with my brother and my mom. And every time we go there they rememeber us. They are friendly and have good service. I love the food! I recommend the lomo saltado, anticuchos and chiccaron de pollo. My moms peruvian and she doesn't really cook and can't cook the typical dishes so everytime we want peruvian food we go here! Highly recommend it for good portions at a good price!

Talk about Value! 4 Star Rating - Very good

By bananacakes

Think: typical American diner. The atmosphere and decor is reminiscent of a truck stop, if there were a truck stop that served Peruvian and Spanish food. Such good portions and quality for the money. Yes, I've had better fried calamari and Spanish style beef, but never for so little! Actually, the fried calamari was better than most high end tapas bars. Next time I would probably just order take-out, because the food and prices far outshines the dreary atmosphere.

Pros: prices, portions, value
Cons: atmosphere

Sad atmosphere-Average Food 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

By rzemser

I ate at Linda Peru last night (the one near Chesnut) because I could not get into Mamacita's. This place was empty (not a good sign!) and we were hungry-so we settled. I wish I had gone to Pluto's next door instead.

The food was very average. I am not saying it was BAD, just average. Homemade food slapped on a plate, put in front of you. There was lots of white rice and bread and other uninteresting fillers. The sangria was good (I will give them that) but my fried fish was greasy and the oil tasted old. The fish also came SANS any sauce, it needed sauce. My dining partner had the lamb with a green sauce and he loved it-but he is Irish so anything lamb is good for him, and being from Ireland he is not as picky about his food. (no offense to Irish cuisine, but he is old school Irish and was forced to eat bad food in the boarding schools in the 60's in Ireland-so for him, anything is usually pretty good!)

I thought the fried yucca was pretty good, although nothing special. The yelow dipping sauce that it came with helped save the dish from being a total bore.

The bill was over 100 bucks for three of us, not worth it at all! Very mediocre food, overpriced-no ambiance, and I won't go there again. Go to Pluto's instead.

Pros: The place was empty and we were hungry, the sangria was pretty good.
Cons: The food was uninteresting, poorly prepared and was not worth the money.

Delicious chicken and rice! 4 Star Rating - Very good

By ghom30

We recently went here on a whim, and it was delicious. Great friendly service, nothing fancy inside but the food was fresh, the chicken and rice with corn were tasty and the kebab apps were tasty! A good place for big families and authentic peruvian.
