About this spot
Cevichería Jackili in Centro Historico makes ceviche the Peruvian way — fresh fish "cooked" in lime juice with red onion, aji, and sweet potato. Peru invented ceviche, and nobody does it better.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ceviche is a LUNCH dish — the fish is freshest in the morning. Never order it for dinner.
- Drink the leche de tigre (tiger's milk) — the citrus marinade left in the bowl. It's a hangover cure.
- Cancha (toasted corn) and sweet potato are the traditional sides
