Best restaurant in La Libertad

As soon as we walk in, Big Ben Huanchaco gives us a spectacular view of the northern Peruvian coastline and its reed canoes, known as caballitos de totora, as we enjoy freshly caught and carefully prepared fish and shellfish. The specialties here are epic. Be sure to try the shrimp causa made with Huamachuquina potatoes or the arroz con mariscos criollo, a rice dish with squid, shrimp, and clams, as well as a few “house secrets.”

“Non-traditional seafood cuisine. Chitas, flounders, and corvinas prepared in unique and delicious ways.” This is how Mococho Restaurant in Huanchaco introduces us to its flavors, including their celebrated chita with pecans or chita prepared in oriental sauce. The mochero chili pepper, as well as other local products and the catch of the day, are a highlight in their main dishes, such as ceviche, making the most of every meal.
