Mochica is a well-known restaurant that provides a lively and welcoming dining experience with its delicious cuisine and friendly service. The menu includes a variety of dishes, such as the popular Lomo Saltado with skinny fries and a really excellent coconut milk ceviche. Guests can also enjoy vegetarian and vegan options that are appreciated. The atmosphere is described as casual, fun, and bright, creating a comfortable environment for diners. The service is often praised for being warm and helpful, with staff attentive to allergies and dietary needs. Recent reviews highlight the delicious appetizers like crispy yuca chips, homemade empanadas with chicken, beef, and mushroom, and flavorful entrees including Baby octopus with purple mashed potato, chimichurri sauce, salsa criolla, Pescado a lo Macho, a seafood bouillabaisse, and pan-roasted fresh salmon with Chupe sauce and coconut rice. For dessert, dulce de Leche cookies with a candle add a special touch to birthday celebrations.
