Tumbes Mar Pescados y Mariscos

Tumbes Mar occupies a space on Avenida Agustín de la Rosa Toro, in the Jacarandá area, and the brand has another location in La Molina. It presents itself as the taste of the north in Lima, and its menu features ceviches, fried fish chicharrón, seafood rice, prawn chupe and leche de pantera made with black clams. The dishes that come up most in Google reviews are the ceviche and the chicharrón, and one regular describes it as a classic cevichería of many years. Our take: this is the neighborhood seafood house for a long family lunch, more about familiar seasoning than surprise, with mixed opinions on how consistent the kitchen is. It opens only during the day, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Saturdays 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.), takes reservations and has its own parking. Curation note: it has no website of its own; the WhatsApp number on its Instagram belongs to the brand account and could not be confirmed as this location's.
