Jaranita SF Peruvian Rotisserie

"When: Tuesday-Friday, 4-6pm Jaranita is a Peruvian spot in the Marina for lively group dinners—there are neon signs everywhere and a huge yunza tree in the back, and the occasional salsa lesson goes down on the sizable parklet out front. For Happy Hour, swing by on weekdays for $8 cocktails, like negronis and white sangria, plus $5 chicken, beef, or vegetarian empanadas. They also have deals on heartier dishes, like chicken sandwiches and cebiches." - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway, Ricky Rodriguez

"The Marina is a wonderful neighborhood to take one’s dog, mere steps from the San Francisco Bay and with bountiful Crissy Fields to frolic through. Jaranita has you covered for that as the Peruvian restaurant and bar keeps things lively with cocktails and cebiches — and is very dog-friendly." - Paolo Bicchieri, Daisy Barringer

"The lively Peruvian restaurant has neon signs, a large yunza tree dressed up with rainbow-colored streamers—and some of the best rotisserie chicken in town. Sure, Jaranita has solid cebiches, charcoal-grilled steaks, and empanadas, but any dish involving the rotisserie chicken is the reason to head here. Well-spiced and tender, the slow-roasted meat should definitely be on your table, along with the fries, salad, or yellow pepper wok-fried rice with aji amarillo sauce you can choose to go with it. Use Jaranita for fun group dinners and date nights, or a weekday Happy Hour with $8 cocktails." - Team Infatuation

"Over in the Marina, Peruvian restaurant Jaranita is another option for a bigger group. The rotisserie will offer a three-course menu for $59 per person featuring octopus glazed with anticuchera sauce, empanadas, arroz con pollo, lomo saltado, and more. For dessert, tres leches cake is the move for the whole squad. Reservations can be made online." - Paolo Bicchieri

"Jaranaita offers a build-your-own bloody mary bar for $20 per person with a variety of garnishes including fresh and pickled veggies, cheese cubes, bacon, grilled shishito peppers, fresh shrimp, and anticuchos." - Lauren Saria
