El Aji - Reviews

My experience at the restaurant was largely disappointing, especially concerning the food. I ate there several times, but the last visit was the worst. The meat was tough, and the plantain was burnt. The reviewer also rated Service, Atmosphere, and Food as 1.

We ordered mostrito and arroz chaufa through Uber Eats for an event nearby, and the food was delicious!

My experience at this restaurant was amazing! The service was incredibly fast, and the food was absolutely delicious. I particularly enjoyed the El ceviche chalaco, which was divine, and the jalea was super fresh. Everything they make is tasty 😋. I highly recommend it!

Oh my god, the food here is good! We had the saltado de pollo (sautéed chicken) and seco de carne (marinated beef). The flavors are out of this world. Don't pass this place up if you want a hearty lunch. Oh, get the chicha morada, too!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was insanely tasty and fresh. The owner was really nice, contributing to a fun vibe. I absolutely recommend it and will definitely be back.

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely fantastic! I found it to be the best Peruvian restaurant in San Francisco, offering the greatest food. The customer service was also excellent. I 100 percent recommend it!

I'm disappointed with the care taken with Uber Eats orders. When ordering online, the quality of the food should be prioritized. I ordered the Pollo Broster on Uber Eats, and what I received was a "crappie thing" completely different from the app's depiction. The description mentioned half a chicken for the Pollo Broster, but I received a full box of nasty fries with an overcooked dipping sauce and a fried chicken leg, which was only a quarter of a chicken, not half as advertised. Restaurant Aji, please appreciate your customers more and show respect for your business and clients. If you don't care about customers, you will eventually close due to a lack of business.

I've visited this restaurant three times on consecutive Sundays after church, and the food has consistently been great. I've enjoyed their seafood rice, beef, and chicken. However, my most recent visit was marred by a disappointing experience regarding pricing. The menu clearly stated that a full chicken was $25 and a half chicken was $16. I ordered a full chicken for dine-in. When the bill arrived, I was charged $28. 95 plus tax for the chicken, not the advertised $25. Upon inquiring, I was told that $25 was the takeaway price and $28. 95 was the dine-in price. I pointed out that this distinction was not indicated on the menu, nor on their website's updated menu. They simply stated, "yeh its not written on the menu but it works that way. " It was not a pleasant feeling to be charged a different price than what was advertised, especially without prior clarification when ordering. Although I paid the bill, this experience has made me more cautious about this place, and I may not return. I later read another review mentioning similar pricing discrepancies, suggesting this is a recurring issue. I regret falling for this "old trick" and do not think I will return or recommend it to my church friends.

We initially ordered a pork sandwich (pan con chicharrón), a beef sandwich (pan con lomo), and Jalea. However, when we saw a waiter pass by with a rich and elegant plate of Lomo Saltado, we didn't hesitate to order it. And yes, it was delicious! The rice was perfectly cooked, the meat was amazing 😋, and the flavor was outstanding. The Jalea was also perfectly prepared and fresh. In short, I will return and I highly recommend it!

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I ordered a classic ceviche, chicken chaufa, and chicken causa. Everything was incredibly delicious, and I would rate the food a perfect 5 points. 😋 The atmosphere was also a 5, and the service was equally impressive at 5 points. Overall, a truly excellent meal!
