“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this new Mexican restaurant and it left a lasting impression. The space strikes a beautiful balance of cozy and intimate, yet thoughtfully designed with charming Mexican décor that feels both authentic and refined. The menu is where the restaurant truly shines. Each dish is rich with flavor and intention, rooted in tradition while offering subtle, creative touches. The mole, in particular is exceptional deep, complex, and beautifully executed. It’s the kind of dish that lingers in your memory long after the meal. The rest of the menu follows suit, with every plate showcasing care, balance, and a genuine respect for Mexican cuisine. The cocktail program is equally well done, with drinks that are both inventive and well-balanced. Paired with impeccable service, attentive without being intrusive, warm without feeling forced the overall experience feels polished yet welcoming. If there is one small note, it would be the noise level on the second floor, which can become quite lively during peak hours. A few discreet sound-absorbing touches would elevate the ambiance even further. All in all, this is a standout addition elegant, inviting and deeply satisfying. A place I look forward to returning to.”
“Started with braised empanadas and a green sauce that honestly deserves its own award 🌿 10/10. Drinks? INSANE. Mezcal + sotol cocktails were strong, smooth, and dangerous in the best way 😂🍸 Favorites: Casi Cielo & Esperanza. Entrees: ✨ Short ribs over sweet potatoes — melt in your mouth. ✨ Rainbow fish crusted in pistachios — perfection. ✨ Puerco en mole with apricot notes — rich, saucy, unforgettable. BUT THE REAL STAR… 🍊 Mezcal orange flan. I’m not exaggerating when I say this was the BEST flan I’ve ever had in my life. They also brought complimentary shots + churros for the birthday boy 🥹🎉 Safe to say… I’m already planning my next visit because I need to try the rest of the menu. Everyone was so kind. Great staff”
“The food 11/10. Tried both of the NA cocktails and both were amazing! It made me feel like I was drinking a real cocktail and not left out at all since I was sitting at the bar. Lalo and Jimmy both waited on me with kindness and great hospitality. The whole staff was so friendly. Will definitely be coming back!”
“We visited Ceviche Mexican Restaurant around 9 PM to enjoy the beautiful weather and a relaxed hangout in Midtown. As soon as we were seated, they served complimentary chips with queso, pumpkin dip, and corn dip such a nice touch to start the evening. We ordered the Palo Santo, Adoración, and Guacamole con Totopos. The guacamole was fresh and delicious, and the complimentary dips were also very good. The Adoración cocktail wasn’t quite up to my expectations, but I didn’t initially mention it. Later, when our waiter checked on us, I shared my feedback. He was very kind and accommodating and immediately offered to see what he could do. He recommended the Vida Eterna instead and that drink was excellent! I really appreciated how professionally and thoughtfully he handled it. Overall, we loved the service, food, ambiance, and overall experience. It’s a great spot in Midtown for a date night, casual hangout, or even a family dinner. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to visiting again!”
“This restaurant is so adorable and pretty! They made great use of the space they had. I’m giving it 4 stars instead 3 bc it’s their first week and instead of 5 bc they weren’t all prepared it seemed. I booked this place for my birthday because it looked really pretty and had great reviews. We had a 9:15 reservation for 2 and the hostess told us to wait at the one seat left at the bar. We said okay and went to sit at the bar. We ordered our drinks which took about 15-20 minutes to get. 9:45 we noticed people going to tables and not us. We go to the host stand and they said they tried to call us and moved on. MIND YOU- this restaurant is VERY small. There’s maybe w dozen tables at most and 10 seats at the bar. You couldn’t find us next to the host stand? Long story short - we decided to stay put at the bar bc there wasn’t much room at the tables upstairs. We LOVED all the food. Everything was so so so good. They threw down the check before we even finished or even asked for it and that was that. I honestly thought I would be afforded an opportunity to order a dessert especially considering it was my birthday and everyone acknowledged that when we walked in. Anyway- they didn’t acknowledge it or allow me to buy myself a birthday dessert to celebrate. SUPER BUMMERRR!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT GO HERE FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY! Left to go celebrate somewhere else and made reservations to redo my birthday tomorrow. Overall - great food and really cute restaurant. Don’t go to celebrate anything and don’t expect to be seated on time. Otherwise - great new addition to midtown and will go back for a non- celebratory night.”
