Franco’s Latin Table in West Portal doesn’t stand out from the other Peruvian restaurants in the city, but it’s still a great option if you’re in the area and looking for solid plates of ceviche, causas, and generously portioned mains. Most dishes could use some tweaking, but you’ll still likely finish off whatever’s on your plate, and, in the case of the easily shareable mains, gladly ask for a box to take home leftovers. On the main drag of West Portal Ave. half a block from the Muni, Franco’s is a convenient lunch or dinner pitstop, but for weekend dinners, you may run into a wait. For a guaranteed seat, swing by for lunch. Ask for the table near the window that offers the only natural light inside the dark all-wood dining room.
