Well, I thought it was going to be a nice place to stop before heading towards my destination.
Unfortunately my experience with this please wasn't the greatest.
I purchased the mix shrimp & Mahi-Mahi, took a while to give me my food, I thought they were making it fresh, I paid 20 dls for the tray, which wasn't even full, like barely any shrimp in it, and you top it off, it har a smell to it, it seemed like they had made it 2 days before,I also order chips and salsa, I paid $7 for it, they barely give me any tortilla chips. They give me a lot salsa, the salsa was good.
Let me start by saying how incredibly friendly and welcoming the owners are. You can feel right away that they truly know their seafood — everything is made fresh, and you can taste the love in every bite.
My husband and I started with the chips and salsa, and wow… the salsa was unbelievably fresh and full of flavor. For our mains, we ordered the wild‑caught Argentinian red shrimp ceviche, and oh my goodness — it was over the top delicious. We also tried the mahi‑mahi taco on a Sonora‑style flour tortilla, and it came with the most amazing fire‑roasted green sauce. Absolute perfection.
I highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area or visiting. You’ll fall in love with everything — the food, the atmosphere, and the people. I’ll be back in the Kern area in a few weeks, and I already can’t wait to try more from the menu.

This place will blow your mind!! Authentic Sonoran style tortillas, local beers on draft and succulent ceviche make it a must stop for the Isabella area.

I’m new to ceviche (coming from the Czech Republic, where it’s not a common dish) but I’m a bit of a foodie and quite picky. That said, this place, the food, and the service were absolutely outstanding.
My partner and I ordered the fisherman’s ceviche and a guava agua fresca, and both were delicious. Highly recommended!

the food and service was amazing 10/10
Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The staff was very helpful in navigating gluten free options. We got ceviche tostadas, asada tacos, chicken quesadillas and some rice and beans. The asada was marinated and grilled to perfection. The ceviche was both fresh and generous. The kids devoured the quesadillas. Highly recommended.

Absolutely love the ceviche company. I got the fisherman's (mix of fish) and it was incredible, so fresh and juicy. This is the perfect spot for a pre or post river meal.

First off overpriced second off the second I tasted the food I thought to myself I feel a review coming on The ceviche was overly overly salted, dear Lord I was I’m still and was extremely dehydrated My taco was tiny unlike the amount of salt you put in the ceviche I wouldn’t bother coming here if I were you.

This place was a little haven after a week of camp food in Death Valley. Kern River Ceviche Company is literally the best placed I’ve ever stopped to eat at during a roadtrip. The fisherman’s ceviche was delicious, the spice was excellent, the seafood was fresh, the portion was large, and the people working were so friendly. We inhaled our food so quickly there wasn’t time to take any pictures. Would definitely stop here for a meal again!
