The highlight of Jarana’s cebiche bar—which includes eight varieties of cebiches and tiraditos—is this top seller, made with massive cubes of soft red tuna marinated in tamarindo and soy sauce leche de tigre and accompanied by cucumber coins and avocado slices.

Among Jarana’s family-style dishes (which easily feed two to three), try this fresh, whole-fried snapper—diced and deboned for ease yet reconfigured for aesthetic value—with sweet and spicy Nikkei sauce and crispy broccoli.
