About this spot
Barrio Ceviche brings the vibrant flavors of Lima's coastal streets directly to Santa Ana, where fresh fish is cured in a zesty mix of lime juice and chili peppers before being grilled over an open flame. Expect bold, acidic bites that cut through the richness of local potato sides, served in a bustling atmosphere that feels like stepping into a Peruvian kitchen rather than a tourist trap.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Ceviche Clásico' to experience the authentic balance of sour lime and spicy ají panca that defines true ceviche.
- Ask for extra ice if you want your ceviche served chilled, though many locals prefer it at room temperature to let the flavors meld.
- Save room for a side of 'papa rellena' stuffed with seasoned ground beef and potato mash, which pairs perfectly with the citrusy fish.
