"Lomo Libre, the food truck-turned-restaurant from San Francisco born-and-raised Jose Calvo Perez, turned the lights on its massive ruminant sign at the end of June. It’s a special opening for the restaurateur; he started his cooking career in the city and his father cooked on the other side of the park at Alejandro’s on 19th Avenue and Clement Street. The menu is alcohol forward — Peruvian lagers, tequila, mezcal, and pisco are stars of the show — which is exactly the vibe Calvo Perez wants to bring to the otherwise sleepy block. Food options run the range of what fans of the food truck might expect from Lomo Libre: red snapper ceviche and a mixto ceviche of calamari and snapper, both served with concha and sweet potato, and lomo saltado, the staple of onions, cilantro, and fries." - Paolo Bicchieri
