El Cevichero Restaurant y Cantina — Restaurant in San Antonio

El Cevichero never disappoints—and our most recent visit was a perfect reminder of why it’s one of my favorite spots for flavorful, creative food with unforgettable presentation.

We started with the shrimp jalapeño poppers, and they were nothing short of spectacular. These aren’t your average poppers—they’re huge, bursting with flavor, and served in one of the most unique presentations I’ve ever seen. Each popper hangs from a string by a clothespin, suspended between two sleek metal rods. It’s a showstopper the moment it hits the table—and the taste absolutely lives up to the hype. Smoky, spicy, creamy, and perfectly cooked.

Next, we had the birria egg rolls, and I honestly think this might be my new favorite way to eat birria. Not only is it a cleaner, easier way to enjoy this traditionally juicy dish, but the egg roll wrapper adds a satisfying crunch that takes the whole experience up a notch. The flavor is rich and savory, with just the right amount of spice.

For my main dish, I kept it classic with the shrimp ceviche—a simple but incredibly fresh mix of shrimp, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, and avocado. I always eat mine with their homemade tostadas, which are perfectly crisp and the ideal vessel for scooping up every bite. I’ve tried several of their ceviche options in the past, and every single one has been delicious. You really can’t go wrong.

To drink, I went with the cantarito, served in the traditional clay cup. It’s citrusy, smooth, and super refreshing—an ideal pairing for everything we ate. If you can, definitely make it in time for their happy hour to enjoy it all at a great value.

Whether you’re coming for the drinks, the unique presentations, or the bold, fresh flavors—El Cevichero is...

I was in the mood for seafood and saw this place on my map search. The restaurant was at one time La Luna a Puerto Rican restaurant and thought they may have just changed the name. Well, FYI, they are not related. The place is cute inside, sort of narrow and small. It was very crowded so my first thought either it's the food or the drinks. I later found out it was both. We sat in the small patio outside in the back. Not much of a view but space was open enough that there was a breeze. From the hostess to the waitress we were attended and catered to. We lacked for nothing. The food was delicious and I am very picky when it comes to seafood. It either smells and tastes too wild or it was made as if it came from a chef and not a cook. This was pleasantly one of the best places I've eaten shrimp ceviche. Their drinks were also good. Alittle pricey but good. So if in the mood for simple ceviche try this place out and judge for yourself. Sometimes a hole in the wall is best place...
