Pescados Capitales

Pescados Capitales Review

This vast restaurant with a laid-back ambience is one of the best places in Lima for seafood, and it consequently gets packed at lunch. The name is a play on the Spanish term for the seven deadly sins, but the only one they're promoting is gluttony—and quite effectively at that. Consider such starters as tequeños capitales (shrimp eggrolls), tuna cebiche, or grilled octopus. The grilled rockfish in a crispy garlic sauce is a sin worth committing, but so is the shrimp picante (in a spicy cream sauce) and arroz con mariscos (rice with seafood). So toss morality to the wind, and dig in! Very close to San Isidro, this place is the only cebichería that opens for dinner.
