Neat little hidden treasure in the middle of a residential area. It's behind a car wash establishment. Small venue, crowded all the time. You seat wherever you can. Service is decent but way too slow. You can wait 20 minutes to get a dish that takes 5 minutes to prepare. What they do is sea food, like the name implies.

It tastes rather nice but it's no gourmet dish. Expect street food type of experience. Drink selection is limited, mostly beer and small selection of beers. Nice place to meet friends, warm up the engines and move on...

Just get your buddies together and come over to have a few beers...

Is much more than just a cevicheria, they have other options like tacos, toasts and more. Everything is so good and make sure you enjoy it with a Picosita or...
