Mauricio Huarcaya

Mauricio Huarcaya began his culinary career in Charlotte, eventually making his way to Charleston, where he worked at FIG and The Obstinate Daughter. Now calling Wilmington home, Gustu Peruano is an homage to his Peruvian roots, showcasing the vibrant foods of his native country. The bucket list restaurant at the top of his list is Central in Lima, Peru, and locally, he enjoys Hidden Grounds Coffee, Perla and Buen Día on his days off.
