Eeps! SFist received word this morning that Valencia Street fell victim to yet another apartment fire. Sigh. Reader Jeff Cleary tells us:
Aye, there was an apartment fire this morning on Valencia street, between 16th and 17th. Thing is, it was on the 2nd floor of the building that Limon is in. It looked like it was contained to one apartment, but I'm assuming there had to be some water damage to Limon. Not good for one of our best restaurants.
This brings up an important issue: Is Limon any good? We haven't been, but keep meaning to go. Rumor is it's "deliciously exotic." Please advise.
Oh yeah, and be safe out there during fire season. Those old Victorians are nothing but tinderboxes.

Valencia Street is turning on its residence. Wonder why?
I think Limon is above average but it isn't a restaurant which I say, "Let's go to there!" (and I love Peruvian food).
I've been to Limon and was not impressed. The service was awful, and the food arrived cold. Total bummer b/c I was really excited about it--as I too-- adore Peruvian food.
If the food is arriving cold, stick to the Ceviches...
totally. The ceviche was actually pretty decent, I forgot to mention...oopsie
Hey Brock, remember that ceviche I served at my housewarming in Hayes Valley in 2003? You liked it, as I recall. That came from Limon, before it moved to its current location.
I didn't try the ceviche (obviously should have) but OTHERWISE I was very disappointed with Limon... Some people like these kinds of places... where they sort of rush you because they want to make lots of money by keeping the door revolving... and where the pretty-boy waiters sort of give you a whole unnecessary schpeal since they want a huge tip even tho their actually waiting service is below average...
It's one of THOSE kinds of restaurants... you know? expensive, yet you can't relax. People like them, but I don't get it.
And the food... it was okay... no better than Cha Cha Cha!!!
Wow, apparently only the Haters didn't have plans to skip town early. Skipping the ceviche here is like going to Tokyo Go-Go and skipping the sushi to go straight for the tempura. I think they make some damn good ceviches, and I've also been quite pleased with the seafood stews I've had there.
And for what it's worth, it schools Cha Cha Cha, which I also happen to enjoy.
I love photos of Mission buildings you post because I can remember which buildings I've had sex in and try to remember who the trick was and how out of my mind I was at the time. Sigh. Memories.
Limon is fine but bit expensive and pretentious -- though the ceviche is good. I recomend Destino for a cheaper and more casual experience with better food.
