Best Seafood in Bushwick
Master Critic Review
Huanchaco PE
7.8
A Peruvian kitchen that earns its keep in the ceviche-and-seafood-rice lane, especially when you order with focus and let the acidity and brine do the talking. Best for a straightforward seafood fix rather than a long, high-service evening.

Ceviche Mixto, Arroz con Mariscos, Ceviche de Conchas Negras
