What People Are Saying About Mochica

In Short – With a chef originally from Peru, this eatery shows its Latin roots with a variety of dishes, from seviche mixto, a mingling of lime-marinated seafood, to starters such as anticuchos marinated in aji panca with beef, chicken or fish. Sample the menu's sweeter additions with bananas flambee or another sugary option from the dessert section. Oil paintings and wooden tables add leisurely ambience to the compact dining room.

Great Peruvian food!!
by lola2727
Last week I dined at Mochica with about 5 of my counterparts. I had never heard of this restuarant before, even though I work just a few blocks away. I was very impressed. Pulling up in front of the restaurant, there was plenty of parking. Although the exterior of the restaurant isn't very flashy, the interior is beautifully done. The tables are set with beautiful, large water glasses and the room is dimly lit. The food is fantastic. Looking at all that my counterparts ordered, I would recommend the halibut. Every dish was presented in a unique and artistic way. You really can't go wrong. Also, try the sangria to start....great mix of wine, fruit, and juice.
- Pros: Plenty of parking, great food, nice interior

My Favorite Restaurant in SF
by sonofdavinci
I love this place! Delicious Sangria, awesome complimentary appetizer, the most amazing Ceviche I've had anywhere, all in a nice small, romantic setting! The servers have been very friendly, helpful and gracious all 3 times I've eaten there. I can really only recommend one dish, as it was so delicious I couldn't bring myself to choose anything else on my return visits...I can't remember the name of it, but it was halibut stuffed with shrimp, with a delicious red sauce over the top. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it:) I couldn't give Mochica a higher recommendation!
- Pros: Great food with friendly service, nice but unpretentious and reasonably priced.
- Cons: The location is not the best. This place would be bumping every night if it were closer to the more pedestrian friendly areas of SF.

Excellent Peruvian food`
by DonBoy
Made first visit to Mochica with Helena last evening. Had made reservations and was promptly seated upon arrival. Mocchica is a romantic restaurant with rich dark woods and colors . The wait staff is very professional and knowledgable about the abundance of dishes on the menu. Learning of our preferences, the waiter was able to recomend various dishes. We had the "Papa a la Huancaina" as an appetizer which was quite excellent but a little too spicy for the "Brazilian Princess' but thoroughly enjoyed by myself. Helena had the breaded halibut filet and I had the halibut stuffed with shrimp. Both dishes were excellently presented and delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone enjoying Peruvian food and will visit the restaurant again in the near future. A great discovery in the South of Market District.
- Pros: Large menu with excellent variety of dishes
- Cons: Not in best of locations
