Mama Cocha

Peruvian restaurant with a very fish-​centric menu. I really wanted to like this place as it’s very close to where I live and I love Peruvian food, but it was not meant to be. Here are the basics:
The Good
— the staff was super nice and very welcoming
— a free pisco sour with dinner (a good one I might add)
— the chef came out to meet and greet
The Bad
— no ahi de gallina or lomo saltado (peruvian staples, but their absence might be due to the fish theme)
— the food was severely over-​salted
— odd choice of hardcore rap music playing in the background
— overpriced
I had the ceviche tres volcanos, which was fine if not a bit salty. The chef was kind enough to make my wife a special octopus salad (she loves ceviche but is pregnant so can’t have raw fish) which was… different. It wasn’t bad; had good flavor but was also too salty. My sudado de pescado (flounder) was dry and WAY too salty. Her tacu tacu was good but nothing special.
The location is a bit out of the way and there was only one other couple in the whole place at 8pm on a Friday night. Not a good sign. I can’t see this place making it. We certainly won’t be back.
