"A place like Al Toke Pez is exactly why Lima’s food scene rocks. An unpretentious hole in the wall where for under 10 soles you can eat like a king, noshing on some of the best homestyle cooking the city has to offer. I managed to grab a coveted seat at the 6-person counter watching Tomás Matsufuji’s insane flaming wok skills, just before tucking into the ceviche, inhaling it in under 3 minutes."

"The menu depends on whatever ingredients the young chef sources at the fish market each day before dawn. Whatever he finds will have your taste buds shivering with excitement, as slivers of pink-tinged sea bass tiradito fly down your throat. If you’ve never had it before, this is the time to introduce yourself to tiradito."

"Best cure for what ails you: You could easily drive right past Al Toke Pez which is a closet-sized establishment on a busy street in Lima. Sandwiched between auto part stores, this six stool eatery dishes up amazing leche de tigre with sliced onions."

"The best seafood of the trip, though, was at Al Toke Pez, a hole in the wall that Pam introduced me to. A ceviche mixto (15 soles) with mullet, cuttlefish and prawn was fresh and fruity, and preceded the outstanding main course."

"The best seafood of the trip, though, was at Al Toke Pez, a hole in the wall that Pam introduced me to. A small leche de tigre for 4 soles was a perfect aperitif — fishy and almost too tangy."

"You definitely should have the ceviche. It is the best one we had in the whole of Peru. Very simple and honest, but yet incredibly tasty."
