Daniel: We totally agree Mo Chica has one of the best ceviche in LA. Sometimes they have a special, scallops and uni ceviche--simply mind blowing so ask if they have it. They also started a special 4 course tasting menu for $25, but it was more like 5 items when we went to the inaugural tasting--it's not daily and requires a reservation, so call ahead. It was the most refined and delicious tasting we've ever had for an unheard of amount.

I disagree. Mo-Chica is ok, but not great & definitely not outstanding. Unfortunately LA is filled with mediocre Peruvian restaurants. We need Gaston Acurio to save our city! Mo-Chica delivers a mild tasting cebiche, but has a long way to go... it seems the chef is scared to use aji! Some of the other dishes at Mo-Chica deserve praise (e.g. Lomo Saltado), but what kills me about this place is the sloppy service - serving meals on chipped dishes, no re-filling of drinks & bringing out one's persons dishes before others at the same table. Time for them to take a trip back to Lima to learn a thing or two (or at least they should visit La Mar in San Francisco)...
