I'm updating my earlier review, but still 5 stars!
Are you tired of downtown hipster joints that charge you $12 for a "sharing plate" that's so small you guard it with your life? Have you grown weary of these douche caves serving you octopus and ceviche and acting like it's something new to Toronto?
Paracas has been serving this stuff up for years in generous portions with nary a pair of skinny jeans in sight! Of course, if you speak Spanish, you have an advantage. If you want to eat delicious Peruvian delights, you're definitely in the right place! Ask Pepe, the owner for a recommendation on what to eat and drink if you are unsure. Service is always helpful.
This is a true mom and pop place with all the charm and value you'd expect. Sit back and enjoy the fire and garlic of the orange habernero sauce. Have a pisco sour or huge litre of sangria that's spiked with cloves and cinnamon (not to mention alcohol) and soak in the wonderful food, service and atmosphere of Paracas.
Possibly my favourite restaurant in the city.
