Barra Brava is an amazing Peruvian spot! We tried the ceviche, arroz de mariscos, yucas and chicha morada, all absolutely delicious! It truly felt like being back in Peru. The best part was that we didn’t have to wait long for our food The staff was super friendly and welcoming too. Definitely recommend this place!

This was the Ronda Marina 1 dish on the menu, which allows you to try a little of everything: ceviche, crab causa, fresh mussels & fried calamari/fish. The anticuchos came sizzling on hot stone which was a nice touch. Everything was amazing and the plating was 10/10. Refreshing meal to have on a hot summer day.

I have driven past this place a billion times and finally decided to stop by. I wanted some ceviche on a hot summer day and this place was close by. I actually ended up getting the Arroz a la Chiclayana - which was delicious. The rice is packed with herbs, tiny shrimp, and cheese. Plus there were clams, calamari, and mussels. I would love it if this were a larger, more comfortable restaurant atmosphere, but the food is on point!

Food is spectacular, 100% Lima Peru. Service could be better-for example waitress served my beer without a glass, I felt like I had to ask for everything and service was slow too. The restaurant was full, so I can understand why we waited over 30 minutes to get our order. We went with our 4 years old and newborn daughters. Next time we will go without kids. Place is small, inside they only have high tables and chairs, so we had to sit outside on 90+ degrees. But I will be back alone with my husband, it is worth 1hr drive from VA. So far this is the most authentic food from cevicherias in Lima.

Really good Peruvian cevichería! A friend had recommended this place and the flavors really lived up to the expectations. Solid dishes all around and pretty good service. We started with a chicharron mixto and leche de tigre, both were delicious. The leche de tigre was a bit salty, but still good and with the right level of spiciness. We then tried the chicha morada, anticuchos, lomo saltado, chaufa aeropuerto, and ceviche norteño. Good portions and flavors for every dish. They also have Donofrio ice crean for sale as well as another called Llama that had very tasty fruit flavors like chirimoya and guanabana (soursop). One thing I hope they can achieve in the near future would be a more spacious and comfortable location that matches the flavors and prices.
