Skip the first floor and head upstairs to the terrace for great views of the beach at Huanchaco's largest and most popular restaurant. Enjoy Huanchaquero specialties, including cangrejo reventado (baked crab stuffed with egg) and cebichede mococho (algae cebiche). Only open 11–5:30, this open-air eatery serves lunch and sunset drinks from a special wine list or cocktail menu.
The best restaurant in Casma, this local favorite serves just about every type of seafood imaginable. The arroz chaufa con mariscos (shellfish with Chinese-style fried rice) is especially good, but if you're not in the mood for seafood, try the cebiche de pato. This isn't traditional cebiche, but cooked duck, served with rice, yucca, and beans. Don't be put off by the cement floor—the restaurant lacks polish, but the cook knows his stuff.
Overlooking the beach, Tato's is something of a cult restaurant—a rustic eatery known for seafood, from cebiches to fried calamari. The most famous dish on the menu is the tacu tacu relleno de mariscos (refried rice and beans stuffed with shellfish). Order a personal size and you can split it in two and still have leftovers; portions are that big.
