Tumbes cocina peruana — Restaurant in Alicante

We visited “Tumbes” — and it turned out to be more than just a dinner; it was a true culinary journey into the heart of Peruvian culture. The interior is modest yet tasteful, cozy and homey, with authentic national touches. Every detail reflects a sincere love for Peruvian heritage. The food deserves special praise. Authentic Peruvian cuisine, cooked with heart and deep respect for tradition. The ceviche was impeccable — fresh, perfectly balanced, and full of flavor. The arroz con mariscos was one of the best we’ve ever tried — rich, aromatic, with perfectly cooked rice and seafood. The tallarines a la huancaina Con Lomo Saltado were tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. The Chicha Morada was a delight — cooked to perfection, not overly sweet, with a pronounced and distinctive taste. The dessert, while well-made and traditional, was a bit too sweet for my personal taste — more for those who enjoy rich desserts. As a welcome treat, we were served fried plantains and large, crunchy Peruvian corn — a small detail that added warmth and authenticity to the experience. The entire meal felt crafted with love and intention. The portions were generous and satisfying — you don’t just leave full, you leave fulfilled. And the service — truly outstanding. The staff was incredibly attentive, kind, and eager to make our evening special. Everything was served promptly and with a smile. “Tumbes cocina peruana” is more than just a place to eat — it’s a place you want to come back to, again and again, to experience the soul of Peru. Wholeheartedly...

We got a reservation at Tumbes for my grandfather’s birthday.

The restaurant has very welcoming and friendly service, as we walked in the ambience was beautiful and was full of cultural character. The admiration, appreciation and representation of the culture was a very special gift to anyone coming to dine here.

The staff greeted us, very kind people and spoke a variety of languages, they served us fried plantains and crunchy peruvian corn - a small gesture of care that made the experience feel more personal and truly shows the kindness of the staff.

Every dish looked and tasted amazing clearly made both with skill & heart. I reccommend the Patacones Tuna (w/banana) peruvian japanese fusion (seen in the photo), very satisfying, balanced flavour and well served. All meats were delicious and the cook truly is amazing. As for dessert, the tres leches cake is so delicious really recommend, its traditional well prepared and clearly homemade.

Top-notch service, the team is warm, attentive, bilingual, and clearly pssionate about a welcoming atmosphere. We were well looked after without ever feeling rushed. Tumbes is truly a memorable experience and am a loyal...
