"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."

"Lima is the very epicentre of ceviche and the Peruvian gastronomic explosion, ceviche is everywhere, obviously. Brave souls should venture out to the rough-and-ready neighbourhood of Sequillo and a place only few ceviche connoisseurs know about: Al Toke Pez, a six-seat hole-in-the-wall that serves some of the city's best."
"We did try the combinado plate with ceviche which was DELICIOUS. I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for some local, authentic food."
"One of Lima’s most celebrated ceviche spots, for instance, is found on a noisy avenue surrounded by car repair shops. Al Toke Pez. Matsufuji’s ceviches highlight fresh, humble ingredients from the sea, which Matsufuji picks out himself at the fisherman’s wharf in Villa María del Triunfo."
