Restaurante Mococho — Restaurant in Huanchaco

I am not a cervichero, but my father-in-law is and while he found the lack of canchita and other staples of the traditional cevichero jarring at first, Mococho’s take on ceviche warranted a 10/10 from him. I concur.

The Chita, in pecans, is probably the most spectacular seafood dish I’ve ever eaten. Coupled with arroz chaufa, genuinely surprising, the flavour combinations were beyond delicious.

Mococho is not only Huanchaco’s/Trujillo’s best, it is one of Peru’s best seafood restaurants.

Chapeau to the chef for being unafraid to challenge the status quo and push...

The food is next-level, and the Twick from the chef was insane. It’s hands down the best meal I had while in Huanchaco, blending local ingredients with a creative twist that blew me away. People work there are also very friendly especially chef is awesome and admire his passion for the food. Almost could not make it to the restaurant and arrived 30min before the closing time. So glad I did. I had ceviche with pecan sauce fish. I liked the tango music in the background and the atmosphere of the place is super nice too. Cant wait to visit there again when make trip...

Today, Saturday, we stopped by Mococho at 1 and it was quiet (just the way we like it). There were only two items on the menu, ceviche and steamed fish with six choices of sauce (another aspect I respect of restaurants: to only serve a limited menu). The ceviche was the best we’ve had to Trujillo. We got the steamed fish with pecan sauce, which was so tender and the sauce so delightful. Seriously the best fish in town. It was incredibly fresh. The resyaurant became packed as we finished our meal and I can definitely see why....
