"I considered the original Magazine Street location of Tito’s Ceviche and Pisco a bright spot in New Orleans dining; opened in 2017 by Juan and Tatiana Lock with Nanyo Dominguez as chef, the cozy Uptown restaurant served ceviche, tiraditos, Peruvian specialties like lomo saltado, and pisco. The owners announced on Instagram on October 17 that the 5015 Magazine Street space would close as of October 29 so they could focus on their larger location at 1433 St. Charles Avenue, which opened in 2022, and Dominguez later went on to open downtown restaurant Bésame in 2021." - Clair Lorell
"This Tito’s Ceviche & Pisco is chef Juan Lock’s first location for Peruvian gastronomic goodness, including all manner of ceviche, the national dish of his home country. The charming original is scaled down in size, with a lovely dining room and leafy terrace. Try a frothy pisco sour, quite refreshing." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"Chef Juan Lock and his wife Tatiana bring authentic Peruvian flavors to two locations of Tito’s Ceviche & Pisco, named for Peru’s national dish and favorite spirit. Bites of raw local fish are quick-cured in a host of sauces. Leche de tigre, a citrus-forward marinade, informs ceviche criollo, local sheepshead paired with fiery Aji limo chili and the crunch of choclo, large kernels of Peruvian corn." - Beth D’Addono
"Chef Juan Lock and his wife and partner Tatiana bring Lock’s native Peruvian cuisine to the plate at this sunny hub of global flavors. Tito’s, which also has a location in Uptown, is named for Peru’s national dish, ceviche: bites of raw local fish quick-cured in citrus. Try the lomo saltado, a fried rice-like dish made with seafood, pisco, peppers, eggs, and soy sauce." - Clair Lorell
"This new multi-level outpost of the original Tito’s Ceviche and Pisco Peruvian restaurant on Magazine Street is a bright spot in what used to be the Saint Charles Tavern. Founders Tatiana and Juan Lock are excited to bring authentic flavors to the Garden District, dishes like various types of composed raw seafood, and cooked specialties like tallarin verde, a hanger steak with garlicky pesto linguine. A pair of pretty bars specialize in pisco, the clear, strong brandy that is the national spirit of Peru." - Beth D’Addono
