Pescados Capitales

Came here with locals for the first time, found the ceviche & pisco sours to be *mind blowing,* then came back on my own 2.5 years later to be blown away all over again. It’s a local family place, a big hit with the lunch crowd, and it’s probably the most mind blowing seafood place I’ve ever eaten at. You need to like seafood to enjoy it though, because practically everything on the menu that isn’t dessert contains it! They do serve a good lomo saltado too though (pictured).

Overall the food is fine, and the spacious atmosphere is one of this place’s strengths. Regardless of whether there are few or many people, the service is generally provided smoothly without inconvenience at least for us. However, today I noticed a 10 percent tip was added to the bill without any prior question about whether we wanted to leave a tip. We have no objection to leaving a tip as a reward for good service, but I believe it is wrong to charge it without confirming our consent.

Another Gem in LA Mar....Great setting and the flavors are vibrant....will definitely be back.

I wasn’t expecting much, but the food and drinks were absolutely delicious. The flavors were perfectly balanced resulting in perfectly executed, simple dishes. Would definitely return.

So let’s go the movie route with this place … Clint Eastwood style … the good , the bad and the ugly. First the good: amazing service , super attentive , surprisingly, the chaufa de pescado is the reason to come here … mind blowing flavors and super fresh! The bad, the reason I came here was for the ceviche but both were super salty … the ugly: the ceviche was soooo salty that I didn’t finish it but it looked beautiful.. I felt so bad leaving it there. Ironic that I came for the ceviche but stayed for the chaufa. I really hope it was just an off day for them because I’m coming back for the chaufa !

Very interesting place to go in Peru. Food is different 😋! Good sign that ot shows there is a professional behind the curtains!

The food was delicious, but unfortunately, we found a hair in our fried calamari plate. While the staff apologized and offered a free chocolate cake as compensation, it dampened the overall experience.

The best thing I had was the grilled octopus … I had a seafood pasta and I found it a bit weird because there was a large amount of cheese on top that I found strange. Pisco sour was good. A bit sweet but still delicious… The doughnuts at the end were awesome though!
