More about Limón
The recipes trace back to the brothers' mother, Luz, who cooked for the family in Peru before Martin, Antonio and Eduardo Castillo moved to the US in the 1990s. The menu here is built for sharing, with seafood platters, crispy pork belly chaufa (Peruvian fried rice) and the truffle mac and cheese that carries over from the other branches. The corner room on Castro Street has big windows, black walls with purple accents, woven pendant lamps and plenty of hanging greenery.
