Been going here since before the ownership change. Checked some of the bad reviews saying that the food has changed. Mercifully, it hasn't. Few things: 1) this place makes the best fried fish tacos, period. To get a close second you have to go all the way down to Tijuana Oyster Bar in San Diego. The fried fish tacos here are without parallel in LA, and that is factoring in Michelin star Holbox. 2) their caribeña seafood stew is still the best seafood stew I've had 3) the new decor is... whatever. But you don't come here for the decor. You come for the ceviche, the fish tacos, and the caribeña stew. Some also come for the bloody clams. Ignore the haters. This place is still absolutely killer, new owners notwithstanding.

It was empty when we got there and quickly filled up. Small place. No parking. Will need to pay meter. Service is ok. Food was decent. I came for the ceviche de concha negra. It was ok. I didn't like the fact that they make it spicy without you having a choice. Traditionally, this is served with saltin crackers. They give you tostadas. Not to crazy about that. Overall, food was acceptable. Be ready to pay with cash. They do have an atm inside, own by them! Not customer friendly if you ask me.

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.
