Fun restaurant/bar with delicious cheviche. My portion of cheviche mixto was a good size and very tasty. Fun atmosphere. At 1 pm on Thursday the restaurant was full and buzzing. We were lucky to score a last available table.

Recommended by a local, good food and good value!
Love the ceviche, but I find the causa to be too saucy.
Love the decor of a family restaurant, there is a story about the owner being from Argentina. The service can be slow and very little English is spoken, but it wasn’t a problem ordering. Would definitely revisit when I come to Lima again.

We’ve been living in Peru for almost two years and have tried classic Peruvian dishes in many different cities, so we’re writing this review with that perspective. This restaurant is extremely popular, always crowded, and clearly very touristic. After eating here, we understood why: the quality is really only enough to satisfy first-time tourists.
We ordered a classic ceviche and a ceviche nikkei. Unfortunately, both were overcooked. The fish was almost completely white; my ceviche nikkei was so overdone that it was actually hard to chew. For a dish like ceviche, this was very disappointing. One of the weakest ceviche experiences we’ve had in Peru.
The pisco sours were okay but nothing special, very average. The causa was also just fine — not bad, but definitely not memorable.
What surprised us the most (in a negative way) was the cancha served as an appetizer. In almost two years in Peru, we’ve never had such a bad one. It tasted stale and bland, which was honestly shocking.
You usually have to wait to get in, prices are on the higher side, and yet the food simply isn’t worth it. In Lima, it’s very easy to find much better ceviche at more modest restaurants for better value.
Overall, this place was a big disappointment for us. It might work for tourists trying Peruvian food for the very first time, but for anyone who has spent even a couple of weeks in Peru and tried other ceviches, I don’t think it will impress. We tried it out of curiosity, but we wouldn’t come back.

If you want to enjoy classic Peruvian seafood, this is the place. The gastronomic experience remains authentic and flavorful, with traditional dishes and a bohemian atmosphere that preserves the spirit of old-school Peruvian cevicherías. The setting is calm and pleasant, and portions are generous.
However, the service could be improved, as the staff is not always very attentive and can be quite insistent when asking for tips. Additionally, prices have doubled over the past five years, which has noticeably affected the value for money.

I truly enjoyed this place the family atmosphere and the sports them is great. They make you feel welcome. The food is amazing I should of take more pictures but for some other time. If you’re going to show up during lunch time, my advice is to make sure you arrive earlier or make a reservation.

Stumbled upon this spot while wandering around Barranco — it popped up high in the reviews, and for good reason. Packed, buzzing, full of locals and curious travelers. The kind of place where a plastic menu doesn’t mean mediocre — it means tradition.
A friendly local couple helped me order, and what landed on the table was nothing short of a seafood riot:
Tiradito de pescado — delicate slices of fish, bathed in a sunshine-yellow ají amarillo sauce. Creamy, spicy, citrusy — Peruvian sashimi with attitude. Choclo kernels on the side, because Peru never forgets the corn.
Camarones al ajillo — sizzling shrimp drowned in a garlicky oil bath, served still bubbling. We tore through bread just to mop up the sauce.
️ That little pot of chili? Beautifully brutal. A few drops go a long way. Respect.
Suspiro Limeña — silky manjar blanco topped with a port wine meringue. Light, rich, sweet — it’s what you’d want to end a meal with when you’ve gone heavy on salt and spice.
⏳ I barely waited 10 minutes — lucky me. Others queued long and hard. Worth it? Absolutely.
Not cheap — but seafood rarely is. You get your money’s worth in flavor and authenticity.
Vibe? Classic Peruvian cantina: walls full of football memorabilia, families and solo diners packed tight, and the waitstaff running at full tilt. Zero pretension. Just food.
Would I return? In a heartbeat.

I’ve always loved ceviche, so a friend took me and my gf to this spot in Barranco where he recommended the ceviche de pejerrey (made from silverside fish). The relaxed atmosphere, attentive staff, great beers, and phenomenal food made for a memorable night, and I’ll definitely be visiting here again!

My go to spot for ceviches and tiraditos in Lima, you must try their fish soup as well. Excellent quality products.
My favorite : guarda royal + tiradito afogato especial.

It is a small, warm and friendly place. The menu is exclusively seafood, everything is fresh. The ambiance is very cozy. The football fans find here a lot of interesting items.
The prices are reasonable.

The place looks very cool. I had a fish ceviche and it was good, but to be honest, not the best I’ve had – the soup itself had way too much lime/lemon juice, which made it too sour for my taste, compared to other places where I’ve tried it. Everything else was great.
