In the SF jazz district on Fillmore is this little nouveau Peruvian joint called Fresca. There are actually 3 different locations in SF, but apparently each has its own culinary agenda via menu. Rar and I gathered with Georgia and an old friend of both from Guam for a late brunch (@2pm). The joint is cozy-small and the overall decor is classy traditional.
So yall know how I'm a sucka for calamari so we had that to start. The breading was wonderful and really gave the little things a nice crunch. The tartar sauce that was served was bland though, but whatever the cocktail sauce is always a-okay with me. For entree, I ordered a dungeness crab omelette (forgot the actual name). The crab meat itself was VERY fresh - I smelled the freshness right when the plate was brought before me. However, the overload on cheddar cheese was like getting shot with a bullet made of the Itis. Before you know it, I felt like I was high and my eyes drooped down. But you know what, a foodie is a foodie all the way to the end so I sucked it up and Soulja-Boy-told em crab meats that I was the boss, that I was the man, and that I was gone finish 'em ALL off. Done deal.
So not really. I ended up having to get half of my omelette to-go. But whatever - everyone else had to take half their meal to go. In general, everyone enjoyed the meal, but it was just a bit heavy.
In summary, it is worth checking out because of the brunch selection. Beware that this is nouveau Peruvian so it does diverge from the traditional Peruvian. Nevertheless, the ceviches are on the menu and they should be worth a try - no bad ceviche experience from yours truly here so knock yourself out. The neighborhood is also pretty happening so a walk down Fillmore should be fun as well :)
