Fresca

Was hesitant coming here given some poor reviews on Yelp of this place, but was actually much better than expected. Tried the Tiradito Nikkei ceviche with plantain chips and salmon with fried risotto entree. Ceviche was excellent - flavors on point with good balance of acid and umami. But what really stole the show was the salmon dish. It was cooked to perfection - but more than that the sauce and risotto cake were individually flavorful and yet complemented the salmon making it a very harmonious dish. I would definitely give this place 5 stars on flavors alone -but I just don't see how the prices are justified. This spot is definitely on the more expensive side - but you cannot tell in ambience, service, portion size, or overall experience why that's the case.

Uniqueness: Good food but nothing too specialWait Time: *** (Fairly quick but can vary depending on the time)Food Quality: *** (Good but doesn't stand out)Service: ***** (Friendly and efficient)Setting: *** (Casual, comfortable atmosphere)Cost: *** (Good value for the quality)Fresca has good food but it's nothing too special. The dishes were decent, but I wasn't blown away by anything. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was casual, making it a nice spot for a low-key meal. The food is good value for the price, but overall, it didn't leave a lasting impression. A solid 3 stars, but I probably won't be rushing back.

We walked by this restaurant a few times on our way to dumpling park, and we noticed that have a very nice outdoor setup. So we decided to give it a try today for an early dinner. They have HH from 3-6pm with $1 Oyster on the menu. The food was good and the drinks were also on point. The service was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back again soon!

Permanently closedVery disappointed that Yelp has not updated the restaurant as closed. Showed up with two kids and had to quickly figure out other options (never fun with hungry children)

I invited my sister to brunch one weekend without any idea where we wanted to go. I picked Noe Valley and we walked around for about 2 minutes before we chose Fresca. We both felt like lunch over brunch and picked the empanada sampler and the ceviche sampler. We kinda over ordered, but you gotta treat yourself sometimes.I ordered myself a Mimosa, because it was brunch afterall. Service was quick, food came out perfectly presented and delicious. There was enough to take leftovers for later. We both loved it so much, we often talk about our Peruvian brunch spot. We will have to bring our Mom next time, because good taste in food runs in the family and I know she will love it too.

From outside, Fresca does not look that fresh as the name indicates, but their fish, oh well, that is indeed fresh and delicious! My friend and I ordered the poke bowl Peruvian style and was so good, lots of fish pieces and exotic flavors, very different from the usual poke. We would have liked more quantity, but well the quality was really there. Also we shared the fried yuca and that sauce was very delicate, we fought for it!Our waiter was super attentive and answered all the questions we had about the different dishes or appetizers. The inside is very modern and clean. Will be back to try their different ceviches when in the area.

I've been coming to this restaurant for the past several years and I have noticed that they have increased their prices in quite a significant way. We came for dinner and it was almost empty, the service is good but nothing exceptional. The food is good and we ordered:- Lomo Saltado. - Cebiche chifa. - Jalea. - Pescado a lo Macho. I really enjoyed the food but I think that at this point it is overpriced.

This is for delivery from DoorDash during covid.We ordered a whole chicken thinking it would be enough for two people. It comes with a salad and fries.The fries and salad were single sized portions. The "whole " chicken was two halves of the tiniest chicken ever. The drumstick was the size of my thumb. One "half" was about the size of my husband's fist.The chicken had a beautiful, browned skin, and the meat was moist, but the chicken itself had no flavor - not even any salt.My husband is Peruvian and this was a big disappointment.

For our office lunch last week, I decided to order from Fresca. We ordered via Caviar and scheduled the delivery to arrive between 11:30am and 12pm. Our order didn't arrive until a little before 12:30pm on Friday, August 4th. Not sure if it was a lag with Caviar or Fresca, but at least it wasn't super late.*Pollo A La Brasa (Lunch): Marys farm free range herb encrusted rotisserie chicken served with crispy kenebec french fries ($16)*Lechon Asado: Pulled pork, mango aji sauce, jack cheese, coleslaw, tomato, and toasted Dutch crunch bread, French fries ($14)I ordered the chicken while I shared the sandwich with another coworker. The chicken was a hefty portion at half a whole bird. I only ate the thigh the first day which was nice and juicy. The salad was also good and pretty big for a side salad. I know fries don't travel well, so these were just okay. Kinda soggy when they got to our office. The sandwich was a nice way to try their pulled pork. I could have passed on it though as I didn't think it was very flavorful. Especially after having the yummy chicken first. One of my coworkers ordered the empanadas which ended up being smaller than she thought. Not enough for a full meal. That's why we ended up sharing the sandwich as the person who ordered it wasn't in the office that day.Fresca ended up being a hit at work. I'd definitely order their chicken again if it comes up as an option for lunch. Very tasty!

The best place the hang out with friends. It has the best churrasco meat menu and drinks. Great presentation on the plates and place design. Great customer service.
