Asu Mare - Panama City

We returned for a second time this month. We had the grilled octopus and the Sudado de Pescado this time. Both were amazing but most importantly, authentic. I am a huge fan of Peruvian food and this place hits the mark. Unfortunately, we went to town on the food before I could get a photo. I recommend it highly.

A Peruvian friend told me to try Asu Mare, located in a small strip mall in central Panama City. It did not disappoint. On the contrary, the dishes that came out of the kitchen in this tiny restaurant were fabulous. I had the ceviche (of course) but 'apaltado, ' i.e. with chunks of palta and crocante. Very good. I then had the jalea de mariscos, which was so abundant I had problems finishing it. The presentation was excellent, and the food was very creative. Hats off to the chef.

This is a hidden gem of good Peruvian food. Amazingly good. I could not get enough of the ceviche and lomos salteados with risotto instead of rice-amazing dish and needs to be on the menu. The shrimp causa was delish, the sizzling octopus was to die for, the risotto WOW.... nice job keep doing it!!

Asu Mare has relocated from Via Argentina to San Francisco on calle 66. It still maintains it's menu of well prepared Peruvian seafood and meats. It very good choice for well priced meals.

In my last review, I mentioned that the restaurant served only beer . Since they have moved to a new location now they Kind of have a full bar . Food is still consistently delicious .
