It sounda great: local, authentic and affordable. It is local all right, but, all things considered, a rip off. There are several truck food/kiosk type of places lined down. First, you get jumped by desperate waiters trying to attract you to their restaurant.
I turned...to the more discrete and nicer one at the Ceviche Loco. Big mistake. The corvina (sea bass) ceviche had a chemical taste to it (prbably some food additive, considereing the strong heat). The lobster tail was in fact a bunch of tiny crayfish. The coconut sauce was watery and tasteless. Nothing had a fresh taste to it, all seemed to have been unfrozen. To be fair, the lemon albahaca juice they have is delicious. The bill was US$ 28 before tip. The "lobster" alone costed the same a (proper) lobster and aspargus risotto at the Azahar! From what I notice now, many of the great photos shown here on TA seem to be from the Ceviche La Solution, the next kiosk. The dishes I have seen served looked a lot nicer and more substantial. A few more steps and I might have had a different experience, albeit relativelly expensive. In any case, you may be better off at a proper restaurant. The place is hot, extremely loud and with zero atmosphere. There are a ot of other restaurants in the city. If you want quaint & local, great food and not expensive, go to Fonda Lo Que Hay.More
