I was casually browsing for a place to grab coffee when I stumbled upon Ancestors by accident. After glancing at their menu, I was immediately intrigued by their offerings and decided to give it a try. When I arrived, I asked for their most popular sandwich, and they recommended the chicharrón pan. It arrived warm and perfectly assembled, with crispy, golden chicharrón that had just the right balance of crunch and tenderness, paired with fresh bread and flavorful accompaniments that tied everything together beautifully. Every bite was deeply satisfying and full of savory richness. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. I definitely recommend this place—and to top it all off, the coffee was excellent: smooth, aromatic, and the perfect complement to the meal.

Today (10/20/25) was my first time going there. I got the Below item. It was simply delicious and the price was good. Owner/ cashier was friendly. We had a brief conversation while waiting for the card payment to go through. Atmosphere- it’s small (the inside) and outside has like 6-8 tables. The inside has a wall with a painting that tells the owner’s story. I’ll be back, it’s a lovely place to have in the San Leandro community. It was a really good sandwich, I’m bummed they close at 2 -JM Pan Con Chicharron Sandwich $14.00 A Peruvian favorite. Slow roasted tender and crispy pork belly, salsa criolla (cilantro pickled onion), roasted sweet potato, spicy rocoto aioli, on toasted ciabatta. Served w/ zatar seasoned fries + rocoto

Love this spot! Used to come here when it was Blue Dish! Now the son is the owner and he's really started off well! Peruvian food, Palestinian food, fresh juices, and coffee!

The pan con chicharron was not bad. 6/10 the pork can be a bit more cooked and leaner. They ran out of aguadito soup by 11:30am on a Friday, something to keep in mind. Overall, I would recommend it if you got that Peruvian breakfast sandwich itch. Looking forward to try the rest of their options.

Today we tried this place for the first time. We ordered a lomo saltado sandwich and a pan con chicharrón. They were SOOOO good. I’ll definitely come back for more. Note: I’m Peruvian and we are used to eating Peruvian food on a daily basis and the Peruvian dishes here did not disappoint
