Jaranita Sf Peruvian Rotisserie

The place has a lovely vibe, we had a booking for three and they sat us in promptlyThe empanadas were great flavour though I feel a bit pricey for only 2 of them. The calamari was pretty good as well.We shared the chicken and rice, which was very nicely presented and our server mixed up for us. The Lomo saltado however was pretty disappointing. Honestly I should have expected it, every time I've had loko saltado it's been an inefficient choice. I think we had like 5 bits of beef in here and for 30 dollars, I was left wanting so much more.The food in general tasted good, the service was very nice. However, I wouldn't be back again as I feel the price was too much for the experience I received, so this can't reach 4 stars for me. Maybe try your luck with other dishes!

Came here for restaurant week and now I can't wait to return! I started with the ceviche which was out of this world! It was followed by lomo saltado and tres leches. The tres leches was the best I've ever had! I would absolutely come back just for that alone. So good.

We were looking for something unusual in flavor and taste that only the diverse culinary options in San Francisco could provide. In the midst of the profusion of restaurants on Chestnut Street Jaranita stood out as an option for authentic cuisine, not generally available. It has an excellent ambience, especially in the large backroom with walls and a center tree decorated with bright yarn designs. Outside seating is available. Adding to the pleasure, the whole space is infused with catchy, lively, yet mellow Peruvian music.The menu is full of traditional dishes, with a kitchen that includes a live wood fire for grilling. We had chicken with rice, and grilled BBQ beefsteak. The steak had a good grilled flavor and the chicken was rotisseried. The rice came with green peas and fresh onions and was wonderfully flavored. Be aware that the BBQ sauce is a bit spicy. The drink list was not extensive, but more than adequate with a good number of yummy cocktails.Adding to the pleasure of eating there was the staff. They were all eager, professional and attentive. They all were ebullent, smiling and to be having a good time.

This is a very cute place to dine if you're ever in the area. The food was quite tasty and our party enjoyed the variety of dishes that fit everyone's cravings. I would definitely recommend eating at Jaranita and if possible, request to be seated in the back patio where there is an indoor tree!

The food was so incredibly fresh and delicious. I was blown away by every dish, and I could just tell every ingredient was fresh, and each dish was made to order. Really impressed with Jaranita's food, ambience, and service. Each of these was top notch.This is definitely a place that does the deliciousness of Peruvian food a lot of justice.10/10 can't wait to go back.
