Tortilla de yuca Toro Salao
Con queso manchego, chorizo y aioli de ajos rostizados. Spanish style omelet with yuca, Spanish chorizo, manchego cheese and roasted garlic aioli, served with toast. $8.50

I think the combination of the yuca and manchego cheese gave this tortilla a dense and gummy texture that wasn’t the most pleasant. The flavor was great, but they could improve on the texture.

I also want to note that the service here was HORRENDOUS! Our waiter was on his own time and while we weren’t in a any kind of rush, there were periods when there was no service at all.

Roasted chicken yuca fries Limon Rotisserie

“Pollo a la Brasa”.  Savory free-range 1/4 chicken (breast and wing) slowly roasted over open flame.  Served with two sides and “Aji” sauces. $8.50
Limon Rotisserie, San Francisco

For my sides, I chose the yuca fries and tacu-tacu (Peruvian rice) and both were delicious.  The roasted chicken was absolutely delicious and oh so tender and juicy!  Omg, and I can’t believe it only cost $8.50 for the chicken and 2 sides.  What a steal!  That’s what I call dining deliciously on a budget!  The restaurant is kind of randomly located in the Mission, but I’m definitely coming back for the yummy food and great service.

Aji sauces Limon Rotisserie

Aji sauces.  I’m not sure what all the sauces were, but they were SO good!  Normally aji sauce is bright green and is put through a blender, but none of these fit that description.  No worries, I used them for the chicken and the yuca fries. Noms!
