I was quite impressed by this place. I was driving up from Sacramento to meet some friends here and I kept calling them, bumping back the reservation, and adding people. They were really really nice about it.
We had a group of six people so we ordered a bunch of things to share. Except for the mac and cheese, everything was awesome. You can’t go to Limon Rotisserie without ordering their signature dish the pollo la braza which is rotisserie chicken roasted over an open flame served with their house sauces. I’m not sure honestly what were in the house sauces but I liked all three of them. The ceviche mixto was refreshing and very light. The lomito saltado and the chicharron de pollo were very tasty. I really like the flavor and texture of the carne de parilla and enjoyed eating the fries that came with it. The yucca fries were different than I expected, perhaps a little sweeter, but they were good. I wanted a fruity drink and our waiter recommended the pa brava yo made with Pisco Peruvian brandy, fresh oranges, passionfruit, diced strawberries, elderflower, and soda water. It was the perfect fruity drink and I drank the entire thing.
We were a bit disappointed by the mediocre mac and cheese. Other than that all the other menu items were incredible.
Awesome menu items:
pollo la braza
ceviche mixto with fish, calamari, and tiger shrimp
lomito saltado
chicharron de pollo
carne la parilla
carne empanadas
yucca fries
pa brava yo (drink)
I highly highly recommend making a reservation as this place gets packed. We saw plenty of people waiting outside the door. Overall, I am happy with my experience at Limon Rotisserie. They get high marks for being pleasant on the phone, for the good customer service, and the yummy food.
