Wood-fire grilled crosscut beef short ribs. $17
Lolinda, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this beef had a really nice grilled flavor, but it was bit tough and difficult to eat. There really wasn’t that much meat to them either. I liked the aji sauce that came with it though.

I liked this salad. I thought it was a little overdressed, but I thought the flavors were good and the lettuce was nice and crisp. I really enjoyed the large pieces of fresh hearts of palm.

Chicken, raisins, potato, aji amarillo. $7

Mmm, these empanadas were very yummy! I think the shells were the best part. They were soft and flaky and absolutely delicious. I also liked the addition of raisins in the chicken filling.

Baby octopus, beans, frisee, salsa verde. $13
Lolinda, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this dish was very good! They kept the flavors bright and the octopus was surprisingly tender. I’m always afraid with octopus dishes because they tend to get tough and unchewable, but these thick octopus pieces had a wonderful texture.
