El Perol Restaurant

The Peruvian plates were both authentic and stunning. My friend had never eaten Peruvian and so I ordered the Papa Rellena, Papas A La Huancaina, and the Tallarin Verde Con Bistec, and some yuca fries. The Papa Rellena was delicious, Huancaina sauce was perfectly tangy and spicy, the pesto so perfectly balanced with the savory grilled steak (bistec), and the fries were super crispy and came with Huancaina sauce to dip!! A little pricey for me but more than worth it, especially in SF where $15 can get you terrible slop that only tech guys would be foolish enough to eat. I'm an East Bay diner myself so it was incredibly exciting to find this quality of food in San Francisco. I'm sure this place is far too easy to overlook. It's practically all the way at the end of a little gourmet ghetto I never knew existed! Oh and my friend? He could not BELIEVE how good the food was and talked about it all day
