Otôto

It is at Jr. Luis Varela y Orbegoso 474 in Surquillo, a few blocks from the market. It presents itself as a nikkei counter and holds 4.7 from 93 reviews on Google — a high score on few reviews, the profile of a new or small place that has not yet reached a wide public. The most-tagged dish in the reviews is the ceviche. It books through Mesa247, admits dogs inside and out, has a bar, a children's menu and free street parking. Our reading: opening at 11 a.m. and closing at 9 only from Tuesday to Friday — Monday, Saturday and Sunday stop at 5 p.m. — is lunch-counter behaviour rather than dinner; the weekend, precisely, is when it offers the least night, which is unusual and worth checking before going. Google publishes no spend band, so we place it in the mid tier by format rather than by data. Curation note: the directory entry carried no address, zone, phone, hours or attributes, and we filed it as nikkei as well as Japanese because that is what the house calls itself. Google explicitly marks the entrance, the space, the toilets and the parking as not accessible, so we do not mark it accessible; it also has no delivery or takeaway per Google's own attributes, despite what the header suggests.
