El Aji Peruvian Restaurant — Restaurant in San Francisco

I have been here three times on three consecutive sundays after church. The food is great. Seafood rice, beef, chicken all good. However today i have a slightly bad experience, the menu says full chicken is 25 and half is 16, i ordered full and dined in. When the bill came, they charged me 28.95+tax for the chicken instead of 25+tax, and i asked why the chicken is not 25. They said 25 is takeaway price and 28.95 is dine in price, i asked them nowhere was it written on the menu, and they simply said “yeh its not written on the menu but it works that way”, i checked their website also and the updated menu and nowhere was it written like that.

As for the Ceviche., my daughter is the connoisseur of that dish and she gave it the...

We crossed the bridge again just for El Aji!

Their Ceviche Classico is just so addictive. There’s a reason why people say that El Aji has the best ceviche in the Bay. It’s also quite a huge portion.

Arroz Con Mariscos has a handsome amount of seafood (about 45%) and deliciously sticky and jumbo Peruvian corn kernels.

We loved the tenderness of their Lomos Saltados beef.

There are plenty of side dishes: potato salad, dessert, and chips. I think this was way more than expected for a meal for 2.

Instead of parking, I recommend bringing a family member to help pick it up while you drive around the block. It’s a very vibrant neighborhood with lots of energy. There were 2 tables of people dining in. The pickup station has a huge bottle...
