If you are looking for an excellent option to enjoy marine gastronomy in Paita, El Grifo Restaurant is a mandatory stop. With a strategic location near the port, this restaurant offers fresh fish and seafood, prepared with the authentic northern flavor that characterizes Piura cuisine.From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere surrounds you with its simple but welcoming style. The service is friendly and fast, with staff always willing to recommend the best dishes based on the catch of the day. Although there may be a lot of demand during peak hours, the service remains efficient and friendly.The menu is varied and stands out for the freshness of its ingredients. The ceviches are unmissable: with a perfect balance between the acid of the lemon and the right amount of chili, highlighting the flavor of the fish. Dishes such as rice with seafood, fish sudado and squid chicharrón also stand out, all served in generous portions and with a seasoning that reflects the essence of the Piura coast.In terms of value for money, El Grifo offers fair prices for the quality and quantity of its dishes. It is an excellent option for both locals and visitors who want to try the area's cuisine without spending too much.If you like food photography, here you will find visually attractive dishes, with vibrant colors and well-kept presentations. Plus, if you're lucky, you'll be able to enjoy a meal overlooking Paita Bay, which adds a special touch to the experience.In summary, El Grifo is a restaurant that combines flavor, freshness and good service, becoming a benchmark for marine cuisine in Paita. Definitely recommended!

First, the view from the restaurant of Paita Bay is spectacular, and second, the food is still one of the best in Paita; The marine trio, the ceviche and the criolla round were very good, and to complete the cusqueña and inka kola at a very good temperature; highly recommended
