Travel Pro Eats #22: Al Toke Pez! Japanese Peruvian Food! Lima Peru! (8 minute video)
Hey there my Steemit friends! This was probably one of the best meals I had in Lima Peru. Maybe it's a toss up between this place and the Griminesa's Anticucharia Beef Heart Grill! Both places I found from this excellent website www.eater.com.
What is so special about this place is that it's owned and run by the son of a famous Japanese Chef. The food here is of incredible quality and the locals know all about it. The layout of this place you just have to see in the video. I had to wait about 15 minutes to get a seat at the counter that surrounds the kitchen.
Everyone at the restaurant gets a front row seat to the chef doing his thing. With huge flames blasting out of his wok about every 5 minutes as he makes round after round of seafood fried rice.
This fried rice is exceptional, but the other two things he makes are equally as good if not better! The little fried pieces of white fish put KFC's popcorn chicken to shame. He also serves a great mixed seafood civiche; which is raw fish cooked in the acid of lime juice along with other delicate herbs and spices.
What I ordered was the lunch set. It was filling, delicious, of superb quality, and only cost five USD! It totally gets two Travel Pro Thumbs Up! Now come along and let's eat at Al Toke Pez in Lima Peru!

Want to have your post on the map too?
Hi there! I fly to Peru I’m Septemeber, we fly into Lima. Any recommendations on must sees in Lima? Thanks!
I really enjoyed walking around China Town and the Down Town area. That was a real Big City cultural experience. You can look back in my blog and see videos of this place including where I ate in China Town was fantastic.
Lovely place to dine in and that's really awesome dish you had. Maybe in the future that restaurant could expand and add more seats and tables so more people could dine in. I always enjoy dining in where you can see your food being cooked right before you. Love that blazing fire in the cooking pan. I hope the chef still has his eye lashes in good shape lol! Just kidding hehe. Anyway nice post and enjoy your peruvian meal! =)
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely comment! It's always more fun to watch your food being cooked in front of you isn't it. Have a great day!
My pleasure Dan. You have a great day too! - Ailyn =)
Hola amigo,
Still enjoying Peru...Japanese Peruvian food sounds delicious...should be spicy?
It was delicious. It wasn't spicy, but they had some great home made hot sauce that I added. I'm actually now in Uruguay. This was about a month ago, I've backed up in posts! But it's all good! Thanks for your interest in my blog. It means so much to me. Have a great day! -Dan
Enjoy Uruguay....how many more years are you traveling the world?
I have no idea, but so far I have no plans to stop :)
yea, no need to stop traveling when you are having the time of your life.
