El Aguachile Restaurant — Restaurant in San Jose

Edit: In response to the owner. Thank you for replying. I have now included a picture of the receipt showing the $36 charge along with the dish. There were 8 shrimp in it. So either they gave us the wrong item, or something else happened but you also say there are no dishes with that price so I don't know how it rang up so much.

I came on here expecting to find numerous bad reviews but surprisingly not. Ordered a standard aguachile, to go, it rings up for $36.28. Not a single item on the online menu is that expensive. Then I see I am also charged a 4% service charge. Sorry what? I am paying for the food, I took it to go. What service am I being charged for? Raise your prices, don't deceive customers with additional fees.

7 small shrimp in the aguachile. I basically spent $36 on cucumber and citrus water. Oh, and it doesn't even taste particularly good. I am so confused by the rave reviews on here.

Edit, 8 shrimp,...

The first time I tried El Aguachile, I had ordered it through Doordash and I had picked Mild since I wasn't familiar with their spice levels. Lo and behold, here I am again. Stuffing my face with their delicious food!

I was honestly hesitant on trying new seafood places for Aguachile because let's be real, Costa Alegre is 🔥.

I visited the restaurant today and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the Aguachile in Chile Chiltepin was. It had the right amount of spice that you could just keep eating..and of course, I HAD to get a Michelada here too..

Their only downfall is how loud the music is, I couldn't even hear the waitress speaking but she was actually very friendly with her interactions.

Definitely...

Fresh ceviche and extremely kind and understanding cashiers and the price is unbeatable with the amount they include! I come here almost every other day. I’m so glad we found El Aguachile on Jackson st. Because we tried three other local spots been charged a lot more for 1/4 the amount and quality that this restaurant provides. Thank you Aguachile you give me a nourishing experience and understanding of the coast! Plus the one plate that we get $27 which is a lot and is actually filled with shrimp octopus and fish (not watered down) last...
