Jhon

Description:

• A tiny neighborhood place with just 10 tables, this informal cevichería specializes in fish, shellfish, and, of course, several types of ceviche. Among the latter, try the conchas negras (black scallops) or mixto a la Jhon (with octopus, white fish, shrimp, and conchas). A more substantial entree is one of the arroces (rice dishes) with fish or shellfish. There are also several preparations of fish, such as mero (grouper) and a nice picante de camarones (spicy shrimp). Note that Jhon, which is a local favorite, is open only for lunch or a very early dinner.
