Reviews for Mochica in San Francisco, CA
Always a huge fan of this place! I came once for bottomless mimosas and another time with a bigger group for a family thing. We... were seated right away - and plenty of reservations available same day even on a Saturday morning. Good: - Fast service - foodcomes fairly quickly - Good ambiance - really cute and clean interior and parklet - Love the Fried rice Pork belly dish - just agood portion size and I shared it with 2 people. The seafood paella dish was amazing too - really fresh flavor and seafood. -Nice yelp check in offer - definitely get it if you're here - i got a free glass of sangria! Bad: - Definitely pricey -probably the only reason that would make me more hesitant to come back - The pork belly skewer meat was a bit too fatty and dryfor me - the pork belly in the fried rice was much better in my opinion. ----- Overall enjoyed this place and would come backfor solid Peruvian food and good hearty brunch!

Delicious food! Went there for dinner on a Friday night. We had to wait for 40mins to be seated. We ordered Yuca fries, Quinotto... and Chafu. Food took about 25 mins to arrive. However, food was totally worth the wait. Quinotto is quinoa with roastedvegetables in a creamy sauce. Chafu is a diced pork belly with veggies and fried rice. Food is flavorful and delicious. Woulddefinitely go back to try other items on the menu. Read more
Ordered the street food specialty. Had mixed sausage (shaped like little coils), potato wedges (think of the wedges you used to... get from kfc) and eggs. I had requested eggs over easy... but got something that more resembles a scramble. They add threesauces on top of it all. Red, green, orange sauces. It was a nice combo of sauces. I give the place 3 stars as "it's okay"because well, the sausage pieces weren't that great nor was the potato too desirable. The potatoes pieces were quite large sothe majority of this dish is potato. I also got their passion fruit juice, which was nice, but very sweet... they must haveadded sugar in the juice. Would I come back again? Maybe not considering that on their block there are many other brunch placesthat I would try sooner. The total bill for brunch for 2 people after tax and tip was $91 making this quite an expensive placefor what we get. Read more
Always amazing food and ambiance, We love coming here . The portions are fair, its so flavorful and tasty. For sure a special... occasion place where you can order small plates and share . We love their ceviche , yuca balls, lomo saltado, chicharron depollo and their drinks !! Read more
Had a good smattering of dishes, from ceviche to pork belly, paella and alfajores. While it did delight, feel as though some... direction across their menu would have been helpful (heard as much from the table next to us). Case in point, I’m morefamiliar with Peruvian food than a lot of people that might wander in here. But even I was left confused by how to cobble a mealtogether given the range of options. Would not do the ceviche - pork belly combo again. From a flavor profile standpoint, Ididn’t find them at all complementary. That said, look forward to trying this place out again. But first, Peru!

Service great food good. I enjoyed the fried rice. One of my favorites. We went at 12pm right when they opened. So everything... went smoothly. I'm sure if we came later in the day, it would get busy. Overall I would go again. Read more
Great delicious food that tasted fresh and well balanced. While this wasn’t the most traditional Peruvian food I’ve had,... this was a great restaurant to dine at with some friends. We sat outside on their (slanted) out door patio. Servers were niceand i would recommend this place. Read more
We were greeted at the door with samples of their mimosa/sangria and we were hooked. Bottomless brunch was amazing. Staff and... atmosphere were both impeccable. Oh, and the food: you cannot go wrong. We will definitely be coming back. Benjamin, our serverwas an absolute rockstar. He was attentive, efficient, and unbelievably personable- he made the experience even better. Read more
