AJI LIMO

Authentic Family Style Peruvian Cuisine

Our Story

Established in 2019, Ají Limo quickly became Bay Area’s go-to place for authentic Peruvian dishes. Our menu is inspired by the food from the streets of Jesús Maria, markets in Cusco, family homes in La Molina, and restaurants in Miraflores.

What sets Ají Limo apart from the rest is the high-quality products we use for our dishes and drinks. We believe that in order to provide amazing, delicious food and craft cocktails we need to start from the source and serve high-quality items. We strive to provide every guest with an authentic Peruvian experience through great service and high-quality foods and beverages.

The Peruvian food idea was a huge success – thank you so much! At one point one of the most senior partners got up and literally said “this is the best catering event we have ever had in this office” – kudos to you and your team."

We have been to Aji Limo numerous times and have never been disappointed! Having tried almost every item in the menu, my favorites are shrimp ceviche, empanadas, lomo saltado, bistek, arroz mariscos, pesto spaghetti and all the desserts have been amazing! The service is always attentive. So happy that there is a real Peruvian restaurant in my neighborhood!

This is an absolutely amazing Peruvian place. Just a solid culinary journey from top to bottom. Solid cocktails, I definitely recommend the Pisco Sour to start. Their apps are varied and just on point. They have a great Ceviche selection, we tried the scallop Ceviche which had just the perfect balance of acidity and spice. The beef skewers were perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing. Super friendly service and a great New spot in town. Would definitely recommend it as a date spot.

There aren't too many authentic Peruvian places to dine at but luckily we found a new one close-by which uses ingredients sourced from Peru and whose chef and owner prides on thoughtfulness for details in each dish. Next time you want to be transported to a world of Peruvian flavors, please do yourself a favor and check out Aji Limo in Belmont.

Came with my family as I was passing by a few days ago. Food was amazing and drinks were just as good! The beef and cheese empanadas were amazing appetizers and the rotisserie chicken was super juicy. My favorite was the Arroz con Maricscos, no doubt the best dish to me, great flavors and very filling. The non-alcoholic chica morada is to die for, I love alcoholic drinks but a great non-alcoholic is rare. Server was very knowledgeable and attentive. Can't wait to be back with more friends.
