Guests single out the tacu-tacu con mariscos, a generous plate of rice and beans topped with seafood, and pair it with a cold beer, a pisco sour or fresh juice. Portions are generous and the selection, which includes vegetarian options, suits mixed groups. A set menu with a starter, a main and a drink is available at a fixed price of around S/25. Muelle Viejo is open every day from 10:30am to 10pm, so it fits a long lunch between tours or a relaxed dinner by the sea.
