My fave meal at Fresca is brunch. Great egg dishes alongside their classics like steak salad, paella, ceviche, and sandwiches? Sold!

Not bad at all. Have not been on this place very often, but the best part of going in here is the calf steak. And was it good?

A bustling Pacific Heights Peruvian joint warms up the Fillmore with sumptuous ceviche.. The Scene
The warm hues of a smooth slate floor, rust-colored walls and gilded frames set the stage for the comforting flavors of Peru. An open kitchen fills the medium-sized eatery with appetizing scents and counter seating gives curious diners front-row seats to the culinary activities. Service is friendly, with a relaxed pace.

The Food
Get ready to savor authentic Peruvian food, with warm spice undertones and citrusy sauces. To start, halibut seviche, marinated in ginger and lime, is a perfect marriage of light and tangy. Fish entrees are also excellent, especially a crispy, slightly sweet soy-roasted trout served with a generous topping of prawns, roasted onions and tomatoes. Meat eaters should opt for fall-apart tender adobo pork; there are also strips of sirloin steak sauteed with onions, tomatoes, cilantro and served with fries. For dessert, splurge on creamy rice pudding or chocolate cake.

Absolutely amazing.. My husband and I are here for our honeymoon, and this has been the best food we've had since we've been here (and we've dined at Zuni, Crab House, etc.). The appetizer of scallops and dessert of "purple corn" creme brule were the best I've ever had. It was as good as brownie batter -- I wished I had a rubber spatula to clean the ramekin! I ordered the lamb for dinner, which was also wonderful, and my husband loved his sea bass. He had sangria and I had Coke to drink, and our total tab with tip was about $110. Pricey, but we want to eat here again before we leave. The service was top-notch. Our waitress was attentive and steered us down the right path to our meal selections, as this was our first Peruvian dining experience.

Really good Peruvian food. I've been for lunch and dinner now. Personal fav... steak sandwich and a glass of red wine on a lazy afternoon. I thought it was really great food and friendly service too. Parking, not so great (take a cab or walk if you can). Better than Limon, IMHO.
