Crudo Cervicheria Palm Springs — Restaurant in Palm Springs

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at this dreamy cevichería, and let's just say... my tastebuds are still sending thank-you notes.

We started with their Chilango Ceviche (Chilean Seabass with roasted corn garbanzo beans, topped with mango relish and guajillo flake), and let me tell you, it's giving coastal chic. Fresh, citrusy, and perfectly balanced. Honestly, it was like the ocean wrote me a love letter.

Then came the crab meat enchilada and I, no exaggeration, ascended. It was hands-down my favorite dish of the evening. It was three enchiladas stuffed with crab meat, finished with a mole-pasilla, and topped with roasted corn & rajas Panela cheese. The crab was buttery and rich and I was absolutely scrapping the plate clean for any remnants of corn and sauce.

I also tried their Chile Relleno Mariscado. It was a poblano pepper stuffed with sauteed shrimp, salmon & pulpo with a light pistachio cream. What made this classic dish special was the pistachio cream sauce. Like, excuse me? Who knew pistachio and shrimp would be that girl? It was velvety and luxe.

Whether you're in town for a desert getaway or just vibing your way through a culinary tour, Crudo is the moment. Chef-driven, full of heart, and totally worthy of your camera roll and cravings.

5/5 would return. And yes, I'm still dreaming about that pistachio...

Ate here for an early dinner ~6pm on a Monday night and got an outdoor patio seat with a heated lamp. Food was excellent, my partner had the steak and fries and he said the cut of steak was one of the best he’s ever had, no grisly bits at all and they cooked it medium rare without asking because of course it should always be cooked that way (haha his words). I ordered the special of the day which was grilled sea bass with a lemon caper sauce over pilaf and asparagus. The fish was cooked perfectly and the balance of the dish for flavors was excellent: salty, sweet, creamy. Daniel was our server and he was perfect, checking in on us without bothering us. The host that we were greeted at the door with was also very warm and welcoming. Overall a great experience during our road trip! We were originally going to go to chicken ranch next door, but were enticed by their menu and changed our mind,...

I never write more than a brief survey, but this place deserves the most detailed, raving review. Our waitress and the entire staff were so kind. The manager is extremely on top of things, you can tell he carefully analyzes the operations and is always ensuring everything is running smoothly.

Tuna Ahi Nachos - this is hands down the best nachos of any kind I’ve ever had as well as the best tortilla chips I’ve ever had AND the best tuna dish I’ve ever had. The chips were pillow-y soft yet crunchy and the sauce was amazing. I will be dreaming of this dish until the next time I can eat it.

Ranchero Ceviche - this dish tastes so fresh, has an amazing tostada, and the avocado rounds it out extremely well. The green sauce is extremely spicy so I skipped it.

Cocktails - we had the pistacchio and lemon cocktails. These were super affordable and so unique and delicious! I...
