Cash Only I went here last year and they were cash only. First time I had ceviche and it was fantastic! A little bit pricey next to Jesse's Camarones (another favorite) but they had great bloody mary clams. I'd go back to try the mussels. Friendly service, quintessential hole-in-the-wall establishment.

Finally got to try this highly reviewed restaurant. If I could give it a 3.5 stars I would. TL;DR: good flavors, high prices, cash only. The flavors were on point here. Both of our plates were delicious. We also order a tamarindo drink (homemade) and it was great. I recommend giving it a shot. The parking is a bit tough because it's near the city but it's not too bad. Service was ok but could be better. I don't like that it's cash only. They do have an ATM but please start accepting credit. The prices are crazy high too. My dish was like $20 and it was not a big portion. I did not leave the place feeling full. But at least it was delicious. Try it for yourself!

Great place for sea food, The tacos gobernador and the concha negra mixto was delicious ! The tacos de camarón and pescado were good but felt like something was missing. Their prices are higher now we spent $72 dollars on three orders of tacos and one ceviche. It's a small business with great service.

Applying the title "La Cevicheria" to a cevicheria could be seen as either humble or hubristic. Should the former be true, then the argument runs as follows. "Hey, we're only trying to tell the seafood hungry public what we do. We're making no attempts to hoodwink anybody with a smarty-pants name, no hooks of marketing, no hipster gimmicks. We gave ourselves a straightforward, utilitarian name." Then on the other hand, calling one's restaurant - The Ceviche Shop - could be seen as an announcement that one's restaurant is the cevicheria of record, the cevicheria by which all other cevicherias are to be measured, the rosetta stone for the entire genre. This may be the truth. I came here one sleepy Friday afternoon. The first sunny day after many a rainy one. The smog had washed away and had yet to reform above Arlington Heights, leaving it as blue as the painted block of the restaurant's exterior. Auspicious conditions for dining at Poseidon's table. Aside from myself, the only other diners were four elderly, well-heeled, Greeks. Perhaps they'd stopped in for an early dinner before skipping over to nearby St. Sophia Cathedral for a church function. They spoke vehemently in Greek as the server navigated a flotilla of dishes their way: ceviche, soup, shrimp quesadillas, fish tacos. The tacos looked as though the tortillas were made in house. Every new item washing up on their table looked of greater piquancy than the one before. But I had not run aground at La Cevicheria to eat shrimp quesadillas, despite their siren's song of sizzling and sputtering. That afternoon, I was bloodthirsty. Later this month, I will be moving to San Francisco. With so little time and so much to do, I'm packing in SoCal's greatest hits. When it comes to La Cevicheria, the showstopper is la concha negra. Bloody clams on a half shell. I once thought oysters and fresh sea urchin were briny. But nothing compares to the brininess of a bloody clam. The first of these I ate without accoutrement and the effect is like wiping out at Huntington Beach. Consuming salty liquid only to then be consumed by it. The next thing is the clam's texture. Take oysters, you find them similar in texture to the stuffed wontons in a wonton soup: eager to collapse under the slightest amount of pressure. By contrast, raw clams are chewier than even the most al dente of Italian pastas. Next, you notice the meaty sweet quality they have and then the iron rich hemoglobin begins to pervade the entire experience. The waitress hands me a bottle of salsa habanera and the winds are really at my sails. The fruitiness and intense heat of the habaneros combined with the bitter savoriness of the limes, combined with the already deeply complex clams had brought about a tidal wave of sensation. And the freshness. The freshest seafood you can have this side of San Nakji. Definitely a great eating experience. I wish I had time to try their Chapin Ceviche. Next time if there is a next time.

This little neighborhood restaurant uses really fresh ingredients for their dishes, which is really essential to a seafood restaurant. The flavor is very nice. Their Ceviche is surprisingly not sour so you get to taste more of the freshness and original flavor of the seafood. The reason why it is 4 star is their food portion is very small. Even the rice that comes with the main dish is tiny. (Like half a normal portion for 1 person). we spent $50 but the food was not nearly enough to feed 2 people. The mixed seafood ceviche, despite the menu says there is crab meat in it, we did not see any crab meat. I would recommended trying this restaurant when you're not hungry or as an experiment, but not with an empty stomach.

Super impressed with this establishment! Do you know a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that looks mediocre from the outside but the food is amazing and delicious on the inside? Well, this is it! Came here on a whim while driving around and definitely glad we did. Note that this place is CASH ONLY!! No cash? Don't fret. There are quite a few banks down the road such as Wells Fargo. The menu is broken down very easily from appetizers, various ceviches, tacos, burritos, and more. The specialty being ceviche you know we had to try it out. The food came out pretty quickly upon ordering up at the front and oh my goodness it was delicious! Their name really deserves the recognition it serves. We got their basic ceviche and it tasted so fresh!! The shrimp is cooked from the lime and with all the ingredients combined, it creates a perfect bite. Everything paired well with one another and they give you a side of fried tostada to compliment the dish. We also had the Mojo de Ajo Ceviche, which is a garlic butter sauce. This was a bit salty however, still very good especially with the rice paired with it. The pricing is fair for a good amount of food and quality. Note: Plenty of street parking around the area.

Just ate here yesterday and loved EVERYTHING! We braved the storm and drove all the way from SGV to bring a friend to try it out. We ordered bloody cockles (raw and hard to find elsewhere and soooo tasty but an acquired taste), shrimp quesadilla, seafood stew and ceviche. I usually don't love ceviche because other places make theirs too sour. This was a perfectly balanced ceviche with great flavors. Fresh ingredients with all dishes. Very affordable for what it was. Cash only but they also take Zelle. Staff was super friendly and generous. Didn't have mango agua fresca when we came early on Sunday because it wasn't made yet. Got melon instead and it was so rich and refreshing. Just the right amount of sweetness. Later in our meal they did bring over a small cup of mango agua fresca. So thoughtful of them. Lots of street parking around the block. Very clean restaurant. I can't wait to come back again!

First time here as my friend has been telling me about this place. Staff was super friendly and knew right away what my friends usual order is. One of the owners came out and greeted us. Food rating: amazing!! I've been to some hole in the walls but this is the best I've had especially the fish taco and whole fish. Crispy and seasoned well. Ceviche was super fresh. I'll be a regular even though I have to drive down from the OC. It's that good! Cash only. I feel reasonable price considering quality and great service!
