"This rustic tavern harkens back to Peru's picanterías of old. The drill is simple: you sit down on one of the wooden benches, you choose your fish, and you tell the waiter how you want it prepared."

"A play on the Spanish phrase pecados capitales (deadly sins), this seafood restaurant replaces the word pecados (sins) with pescados (fish)."

"The daytime-only atmo lends itself to a easy-breezy vibe, with plenty of bamboo, glass and open air spaces. One of the better-known cevicherías, so it's always crowded."
Afar Magazine
"This is one of the most famous cevicherias in Lima."

"The menu expands the notion by giving plates like ceviche and arroz con mariscos...the space centers around a wooden terrace with umbrella-shaded seating, with two additional dining areas"
