A stripped-down but somehow souped-up version of the Mission favorite Limon, Limon Rotisserie is cheaper and arguably better than its predecessor, although it does have one glaring problem: too many people might find out about it. Generous servings of Peruvian-style tapas like the citrusy, spicy ceviche, juicy carne a la parilla and crispy chicharron de pollo are all less than $9, and three of these plates between two people are filling. Also a deal are the towering pitchers of Goldilocks-grade sangria (not too sweet, not too strong--just right) at about $4 a glass. The space is simple, elegant and uncluttered, and street parking is easy, although keeping this place a secret may not be.

A whole, marinated, rotisserie-style chicken, plus two large sides for $15.50 is more than enough for two and easily one of the best deals in the city. The sangria is pitcher-perfect, and hard-to-find Peruvian beers are also available. All of the tables are handsome wooden two-tops, which can be pushed together to accommodate groups of up to 12.

User Review of Limon Rotisserie

Quality and Price!

For $9.50 I had a relaxed atmosphere, half of a rotisserie chicken with two side dishes. Impeccably clean, and waiters that are attentive to your every need. The side dishes are quite tasteful, with a string bean melody that is plentiful and tasty, yuca fries that surpass your typical American french fries. The half chicken is perfect for two and a third side dish would bring the meal down to less than $15, a deal for the ambiance and quality. The chicarron chicken is tasty and and excellent side dish if fried food is not an issue.
Pros: Clean, well priced, ambiance, and friendly service
Cons: None
