Fodor's Expert Review La Chanita

In one corner of the Mercado Central, amid stalls selling charqui (dehydrated meat) and rainbow-colored displays of quinoa, you'll find a lunchtime crowd of people lining up for cebiche frito, a locally famous fried version of cebiche. The fish here comes battered and topped with a spicy mayo, along with leche de tigre and all the usual cebiche fixings. Patience here is key: remember that authentic local traditions are sometimes worth the wait.
