Lively Peruvian cevicheria with standout ceviches and a pleasant patio; service can be uneven and fried plates vary, but lunch deals offer strong value.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
Asu Mare delivers solid neighborhood dining anchored by exceptional ceviche and leche de tigre, with a charming courtyard patio in vibrant Palermo. However, quality varies noticeably between visits and across the menu—fried dishes and rice plates don't match the raw bar's excellence—while service swings between attentive and inattentive, creating unpredictable experiences. Worth visiting for ceviche devotion and casual gatherings, but inconsistency prevents grade A-grade territory.
Restaurant Summary
Set in Palermo Soho, this cevicheria feels warm and bustling with a cute courtyard patio and salsa on the speakers. Service swings from friendly to forgetful, but when it clicks, guests rave: "the ceviche kept us talking for days." However, fried plates and rice dishes can lag behind the raw bar stars. The cooking leans classic Peruvian—think leche de tigre, rocoto cream, and anticuchera notes—more seafood-forward comfort than culinary theater. Order around ceviches, leche de tigre, and the Ronda platter to sample broadly; approach parihuela and fried chicharrones with care as feedback varies. Cocktails and maracuyá sours pop when balanced, making this ideal for ceviche cravings and casual meetups. Families do fine here thanks to kid-approachable bites like tequeños, fried fish or calamari, and mild rice dishes. There is no kids menu, and spice or acidity can be assertive, so pick gentler plates and share. Seafood allergies are challenging, with limited safe alternatives noted by diners.
