This place never miss!!! My 5 yr old hates takeout-- even mcdonald's... so its fair to say she's a picky eater. But when it comes to don ceviche, we love it! Our go to is the combo lima. Always fresh, always consistent. I usually call for takeout, they ALWAYS answer and get it right each time. Literally no complaints. This place is a gem that you can always count on.

The food is so good but why is the guy on the cashier SO mean! Every time me or my husband go to get food he treats us so horribly lol it’s close and convenient for us but idk if it’s worth the attitude

Terrible experiencia! Prácticamente te obligan a dejar propina cuando es una máquina de AUTOSERVICIO, muy independiente de que si la comida es buena. Esto es un abuso!
I asked if I could pay with Apple Pay, and the cashier said no. He told me that if I wanted to pay by card, I had to order through the self-service machine. That machine then asks for a tip, even though there is no service at all. It’s just a sneaky way to take more money from customers. Very dishonest business practice. I will never come back.

Quality of food has gone down. The lomo saltado comes with 5-6 tiny chucks of meat which almost half are impossible to bite through. Poor meat quality.

This is the second time we visited Don Cebiche, to get a second chance to the lomo saltado, the meet was overcooked, the rice sticky. The arroz chaufa taste more near to a chaufa de mariscos. We liked the cebiche, we can recommend it. And the green spicy salsa the best.

Tried the lomo salteado which was 80% rice 20% steak. The flavor was pretty good except for the fries that were soggy.

initial flavor is pretty bland but then there’s a sour aftertaste that i didn’t like
Did not like the roasted chicken, it was dry and not flavor at all.

Fish Ceviche serving was like soup, with about 10 counted small pieces of fish. $20 for basically soup! NEVER AGAIN!!!

Don Ceviche at Essex Market: A Love Letter with Conditions (Corn Redemption + Tiger’s Roar Edition)
Waltzed into Don Ceviche expecting seafood enlightenment. Left with a ceviche that’s still in therapy. Ordered the mixed ceviche with a side hustle of fried calamari and a purple corn juice that looked like it could headline a goth kombucha rave.
First sip of the juice, majestic. Hibiscus vibes with a confidence that says “I meditate, but I also party.”
The ceviche? Mixed, both emotionally and literally. Came with two types of corn: the white kind was good, clean, bright, behaving itself. Then its hardened cousin showed up, dried? Roasted? Just hard and chalky enough to make me check if I still had dental coverage. A real distraction from an otherwise solid dish.
What truly held the plate together was the leche de tigre. An impeccably bold trifecta of acidity, spices and heat—sharp enough to wake your palate, complex enough to make you pause mid-bite and reassess your life choices. It’s the kind of zing that doesn’t shout, it smolders.
The calamari? Like a rom-com supporting character, doesn’t demand attention but ends up stealing the show. Crispy, tender, and suspiciously perfect.
The service? So forgettable I briefly wondered if the register was run by AI. (No offense, I’d never ghost you like that.) Seating is upstairs.
Would I return? Yes. I’m emotionally invested and curious, hoping that next time, the ceviche shows up with less corn, more seafood and the same thrilling tiger’s milk energy.

I get a cut up rotisserie chicken every week with a extra 12oz container of their green sauce 🩷. The best!

Your bill matches the experience quality. The difference is clear in the taste. Employees showed both kindness and impressive competence. Enjoyable food in a well-thought-out space. I'm completely confident about this spot, and you'll see why.
