Fresca

Horrendous tribal-mask sign, tremendous Nouveau Peruvian fare. Start with the ahi ceviche and swoon over the skillet-roasted halibut con risotto y espinaca. Not-sure-it-fits-but-we're-sure-glad-it’s-there pitchers of sangria always a refreshing libation. Open-air kitchen adds touch of theater, and front-row seats are yours at the up-close-and-personal counter area. Fun and lively atmo, but vegetarians beware. Also in Noe Valley.
