Great Peruvian Cevicheria - El Anzuelo

El Anzuelo or "fishhook" in English is a word that best represents the quality of the seafood you will find at the cevicheria El Anzuelo in Chorrillos.  When it comes to good fresh seafood (with the exception of the HUGE fish market in Villa Maria del Triunfo) in Lima no other districts can compete with Callao and in this case Chorrillos.  Both districts are also recognized for the large amount of fishing that takes place in its waters of their coasts.


With great fresh seafood coupled with the love and admiration of cooking, Chef Teo creates wonderful and simple dishes that leave you wanting more.  Owner and well-known Chef Teo provides the citizens of Chorrillos with a large menu of various seafood dishes featuring everything from the Peruvian classic Ceviche Dos Tiempos to the appetizingly spicy calamari stuffed tequeños.   Chef Teo is well recognized for his culinary creations from his days back when he worked as a chef at La Choza Nautica, located in Breña a few years ago.  Deciding it was time for a change the Chef decided to open a cevicheria of his own and today El Anzuelo is a testament of his hardwork and dedication.

At first appearance El Anzuelo has the look of any other local cevicheria on Av. Huaylas, it's small and quaint size may be intimidating but upon being seated and taking in the nautical atmosphere of fishing nets and sea shells along with the aroma of seafood dishes being prepared and will find your appetite grow.  The service is quick and the food doesn't take more than 15 minutes from time of order (on a regular day) til it reaches your table.  Any true fan of seafood who hasn't already eaten at this restaurant will want to give El Anzuelo a try and for what you get, you will soon discover that it's well worth the modest price.


I personally recommend the restaurant and give it a 5 out of 5 in my book.
