Restaurante Punto Azul — Restaurant in Arona

Not even close to a real Peruvian cuisine! The use of frozen Chinese fish, the lack of Peruvian ají Limo for cebiche or the fact that the four different dishes were disastrously prepared by clueless impersonators of the the greatest cuisine in the world; made me wish I didn’t go. I usually write good reviews and when I don’t like a place usually I avoid writing bad reviews as I understand anybody can have a bad day. But there is abut; the poor quality of the ingredients and the lack of Peruvian ingredients insulted my pride of being a cook for twenty years. “Arroz con mariscos,” it’s really made with fish broth, ají colorado, tomato paste, garlic, ají limo,minced onions, butter, cilantro, salt, pepper and real sea food AND NOT ONLY WITH PAPRIKA as it were a cheap Paella to color the rice without Safran.

However, we were told that they make the ceviche in advance; we asked for it to be prepared al momento, not to 'overcook' the fish. The portion was big. It included sweet potato and canchitas. 7/10. Yukitas fritas with huancaina sauce - the sauce was not a true huancaina sauce; tasted more like mayo with a bit of aji amarillo. They should review the recipe :) 6/10 Mejillones a la chalaca - although these large mejillones taste a bit different than Peruvian 'chorros', they were fresh and the salsa quite tasty. 8/10. Friendly service, good...
