Generous portions of Peruvian classics like ceviche & chaufa
"Even on a rainy Saturday afternoon, Locura Marina’s entrance crowds with families eager to eat big bowls of arroz chaufa, ceviche, and pitchers of chicha morada. This is the best Peruvian option in North Beach thanks to seemingly bottomless portions and highly reasonable prices. Our favorite dishes are the sampler plates of ceviches and causas. It’s all delicious and enough food for a professional athlete. If the weather is cooperating, take your leftovers to the beach across the street and continue your ceviche party with an ocean view." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"When it comes to ceviche, the word “sampler” usually implies smaller portions. Not here. The sampler trio comes with three cereal bowls of ceviche mixto in lime juice, rocoto, and ají amarillo. The sauces are on the creamier side, yet still thin enough to effortlessly plunge your spoon back in for sevenths and eighths. The rocoto leche de tigre is spicy (especially if, like us, you tell your server that you have a high tolerance for spice). But the other two ceviches balance the spice with acidity and a slight sweetness. Somehow, all of this is under $30. If you crunch the numbers, that puts each massive bowl at about $9, which is unheard of for ceviche this good." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
"This North Beach spot makes seemingly bottomless bowls of great Peruvian classics at highly reasonable prices. Even on a rainy Saturday afternoon, the entrance crowds with families eager to eat big bowls of arroz chaufa, ceviche, and pitchers of chicha morada. Our favorite dishes are the sampler plates. Instead of smaller portions, they just serve you full portions of different ceviches and causas. It’s all delicious and enough food for a professional athlete. If the weather is cooperating, take your leftovers to the beach across the street and continue your ceviche party with an ocean view." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"This North Beach spot makes seemingly bottomless bowls of great Peruvian classics at highly reasonable prices. Even on a rainy Saturday afternoon, the entrance crowds with families eager to eat big bowls of arroz chaufa, ceviche, and pitchers of chicha morada. Our favorite dishes are the sampler plates. And the concept of “sampler” functions a little differently here. Instead of smaller portions, they just serve you full portions of different ceviches and causas. It’s all delicious and enough food for a professional athlete. The manager and servers greet regulars with hugs and kisses, which only fuels your desire to become a regular, too.

As a mother of three would unwillingly admit, we do have a clear favorite, and it’s the rocoto. The combination of heat and acidity elevates it above its siblings. photo credit: CLEVELAND JENNINGS / @EATTHECANVASLLC Causa Sampler Locura Just when you think your favorite is the causa topped with pulpo, you have a second bite of diced shrimp and second-guess yourself. Truly, these causa quadruplets have no weak link. And like the ceviche sampler, the portions are so big that we thought the $18 price was a typo. It’s not. photo credit: CLEVELAND JENNINGS / @EATTHECANVASLLC Chaufa Special We wish there was a bit more soy sauce in this chaufa, but it’s still a glorious medley of carne asada and seafood with a decent refrigerator lifespan in case you don’t finish the whole thing. photo credit: CLEVELAND JENNINGS / @EATTHECANVASLLC Mazamorra Morada This purple goopy dessert is like eating a jar of warm jam. It’s topped with cinnamon and the sweet purple corn balances out the tartness from the fruits inside. photo credit: CLEVELAND JENNINGS / @EATTHECANVASLLC" - Mariana Trabanino
