Mococho
Restaurante Mococho
A small restaurant in a walled garden in Huanchaco that serves ceviche and steamed whole fish made only with the day's catch, passed down through the family.
Located in a walled garden on Bolognesi Street in Huanchaco, run by the widow and son of the late celebrated chef Don Víctor, with Wen carrying on the family business. Fishermen deliver fish every morning. The menu is essentially two dishes: a ceviche starter, and whole steamed fish served with Creole sauce (diners can order fillet for one person). Chita, flounder and yellow croaker are often used. With limited seating, lunch only and closed Mondays, booking by phone or WhatsApp is advised. It is not cheap, but the fish is extremely fresh.
