Aw Shucks has a laid-back atmosphere with an endless seafood menu! This casual oyster bar has a delicious Mississippi catfish ceviche marinated in lime juice and herbs and mixed with fresh veggies and house-made chips. Add a Rojo Rita, a frozen marg swirled with chamoy, and a spicy candy straw, for the perfect coastal vibe!

Head to Trinity Grove’s Beto & Son restaurant for a lively vibe, Wednesday salsa dancing, and the Gulf of Mexico ceviche tower! It's made with fresh Gulf shrimp, slaw, avocado, pico, and their delicious Mexican cocktail sauce.

CUZCO

Cuzco is a casual Peruvian spot with homey vibes and authentic home-style cooking! Their ceviche carretillero is made with lime-marinated fish and rocoto chiles and it is a total must-try. They also have a mixed ceviche and a fish ceviche if you're in the mood for something a little heavier!

HUGO'S INVITADOS

Indulge in Mexican dishes in an elevated setting at Hugo's! We ordered a variety of plates to try it all but highly recommend the prickly pear Texas red snapper ceviche. The ceviche fresco is also amazing, and it's made with striped bass, paired with mango and avocado! As a bonus, their tortilla chips are baked, never fried!

JOSE ON LOVERS

Jose on Lovers

This lively spot has a colorful and vibrant patio with a beautiful fountain in the center! You’ll feel like you’re dining in a Spanish hacienda courtyard at Jose. Enjoy unique ceviches like a mahi mahi or a coconut ceviche made with mango and coconut milk and take in the stunning views! We recommend making a reservation but if not they're so worth the wait.

With family-favorite recipes such as the ceviche and tostadas de ceviche, you can't go wrong at La Calle Doce. Add a fresh agua de jamaica or a marg for a refreshing moment!

LA COMIDA

La Comida is a family-owned Mexican restaurant that began in Addison and has since reopened in Oak Cliff - we love a revival story! Enjoy a shrimp ceviche or their tropical ceviche that comes with mahi, shrimp, mango, pineapple, cucumber, and avocado marinated in their secret sauce. Their tequila cocktails are also incredible and should def be enjoyed on their large patio!

LAS PALMAS TEX MEX

Dine al fresco on a patio or cozy up inside at Las Palmas! This Tex Mex spot delivers every time, and their ceviche app is one of them. It comes with snapper, habanero, pico de gallo, avocado, and chipotle, a perfect combo! Have yourself a cucumber marg to cool down from the heat of the ceviche, or a spicy marg to kick it up a notch.
