The food was pretty good - perhaps not exactly RAVE-worthy on its own, but the company turned up the enjoyment factor several notches.
Bill and Woodie visited us from Houston, en route to our weekend in Calistoga. To honor Bill's student days in Peru, we ate at Limon, one of a number of Peruvian restaurants in The Mission district.
We shared ....
Ceviche Nikkei - Ahi Tuna marinated in soy sauce-infused leche de tigre, toasted sesame seeds, shredded nori, and celery.
Jalea - A mixture of crispy seafood, yucca and salsa criolla served with
huacatay tartar sauce.
Costillas Nikkei - St. Louis style pork ribs with spicy sesame seed/soy sauce glaze and cole slaw.
Pescada Limon - Crispy snapper fillet, over crispy potatoes and spinach.
Trigo and Vegetales con Pesto - Sauteed veggies and whole wheat, finished with cilantro pesto, parmesan wafer, grilled asparagus and red pepper sauce.
Chicharron de Pollo - Crispy pieces of chicken marinated in
soy sauce, Garlic and aji Amarillo, served with salsa criolla.
Lomo Saltado - Traditional Peruvian style stir-fry of sirloin strips, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, soy sauce, garlic with fries and rice.
Truffled mac-n-cheese (because Bill said that when he was in Peru, he was always too broke to eat any of the fancier foods.
All of this washed down with a couple of jugs of perfect Sangria made this a fun place to eat and re-tell old stories.
