Punta Sal

Lunch at Punta Sal (Conquistadores 948 San Isidro) was very good and the attention correct. They had paper napkins on the table but we asked for cloth ones and these were provided immediately.

I started with a Maracuya Sour but it is not recommendable, it was acidic and with too much froth. We shared an extraordinary sampling with corvina brochettes, grilled octopus and squid, and tequenas. Our main courses were a fish ceviche, probably the best I have ever had. Illuminata had a sampling plate with a tiradito which was very good, but the crab causa had to much mayonnaise.

The fame of Punta Sal is well deserved. The secret of its quality seems to be the exclusive use of fresh ingredients and a healthy preparation. The food is highly recommendable.

A piece of advice: open a location with open ceilings. To eat fish and seafood in a closed place surrounded by glass (the way most of these restaurants are) is like being in a fish tank. It is this detail that places Pescados Capitales, El Mercado, and Amor a Mar in a superior pedestal.
