The authentic flavors of Peru shine through in every dish. The Ceviche de pescado y calamar frito is a must-try - fresh, zesty, and utterly addictive. The Cordero is so tender and just melts in your mouth and the yellow chilli risotto adds a nice flavour. Bonito's commitment to using high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques truly pays off. *Recommended:* Ceviche de pescado y calamar frito, Cordero Will I return? Absolutely! ¡Buen provecho!"
