The peruvian food is delicious ! I love how fresh the food tastes! The papa a la huancania came out warm with the sauce on point! The ceviche classic, is fabulous! Great balance of fish, sauce and sweet potatoe. And! The churros with Lucema ice cream, is perfection! Wow! I will come back . Gracias Valentina por su servicio tan bueno. read more

Ordered the Ceviche Clasico and it was amazing! Tangy, salty and full of flavor! Different textures with every bite. Theres sweet potato in it and it surprisingly elevated the dish. Ordered it with medium spice and its perfect and a manageable spice level. Ordered tallarin de Cameron with huancaina. Never had it before and it was good! Its a creamy, kinda nutty, spicy sauce. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and had a charbroiled taste. Lastly got the chaufa de mariscos; similar to an Asian fried rice. The dish is is drizzled with a sweet sauce. Its a little sweeter than I'm used to but still good. Plenty of seafood like shrimp, calamari and mussels; all cooked to perfection. Plenty of seating, well lit and cute decor. Staff was attentive and politely, frequently removing dirty dishes. read more

Not my favorite Peruvian restaurant but I only come here because my uncle likes the ceviche here. Which it is good to. Well the one that he got this day. He said the other ones weren't as good as this one. What I didn't like.... That they brought out my uncle's ceviche first and we waiting awhile for my plate. That's my uncle's pet peeve. Not getting our food at the same time. I understand cold food comes out first. But they didn't have to bring it at once. They should've brought it all out together. The tallarín a la huancaina was spicy. No where on the menu did say it was spicy. I wouldn't have gotten it if it was. The server never came to ask if everything was OK after we got our dishes. He didn't ask if you needed anything. I had to ask him for a spoon. I had to ask him for the water. Overall service and food can be better. It's nothing to hype, it's not a place I will take people to eat from out of town. The chicha morada was soooo good that I loved. I wanted anticuchos and they didn't have any of the cows heart that day. What I did HATE was that they had a dog in the restaurant. I understand if it was a service dog, but this dog would not stop barking. It was so annoying. I was going to complain, but the owner of the dog left a couple minutes after. read more

Best Peruvian in town IMO. Already been twice and Eli our server is one of the best. Ambiance is nice- small place - they are so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend their chaufa mixto. The Aji verde salsa is a bit too mayo'ey but the rest of the food- amazing ! read more

Ceviche 19 - Ceviche Mixto - Peruvian Near Me - Anaheim, California

Great spot for Peruvian food! Not too crowded on a Friday for dinner. They have some booths or regular table seating as well. For our appetizer, we got the Piqueo Fragata, a sampler of three different dishes--fish ceviche, arroz con mariscos, and chicharron de pescado. Perfect for me, since I like to try a little bit of everything. I really enjoyed the ceviche! It taste fresh, and the leche de tigre sauce it was in made it tart and refreshing. The Arroz con Mariscos was good too, it had shrimp and squid mixed in. The Chicharron de Pescado was a fried fish served with one piece of yucca. It wasn't that flavorful...I thought this one was just ok out of the three. We also got the Tallarin Verde for our entree. The pasta has a traditional Peruvian pesto, which is a striking green color! This also comes with a pretty large grilled chicken cutlet that appears to be pounded until thin. While the pasta wasn't as flavorful as I was expecting it to be, the sauce on the chicken was tasty and balanced out the flavor when you ate both together. read more

My husband's friend highly recommended this restaurant to us. He raved about its delicious food and generous portions, especially since he's Peruvian and knows authentic Peruvian cuisine. We were thrilled to try it, especially since he's Peruvian and knows authentic Peruvian food. Keep in mind that the restaurant opens at 12 p.m. We arrived a few minutes before they opened, so we had to wait outside. There were two other families waiting outside as well. Once the restaurant opened, we were seated promptly. Although the restaurant is not large, it still has ample space and tables. Our waiter, Johan, brought over the menus, and we decided to share a few dishes. We started with the Lomo Saltado, a stir-fried steak dish with rice and fried potatoes. It was coated in a flavorful sauce made with soy sauce, onions, and tomatoes. The next plate we ordered was the chaufa de mariscos, a fried rice dish with a medley of seafood. As a side, we opted for sweet plantains. Everything tasted incredibly delicious! The flavors were bursting, and everything was freshly prepared. My kids enjoyed their fried chicken and fries as well. read more

This place is clean with a well-decorated interior. The staff is nice and very helpful. We ordered saltado mixto, tallarin huancaina/ verde with shrimp, and churros with lucuma ice cream for desssert. Saltado Mixto- You get stir-fried beef, chicken, and shrimp in a tasty soy based sauce with onions, tomatoes, and fries served over rice. The meat was tender and flavorful. The fries give the dish extra bulk and texture. Tallarin Huancaina/ Verde with Shrimp- This is a pasta dish with a cheese-based sauce with yellow peppers. It's a lovely blend of creamy with the mildest of kicks. Paired beautifully with shrimp. Absolutely delicious! Churros with Lucuma Ice Cream- A sweet way to end the meal! The lucuma ice cream was rich and custardy. It paired wonderfully with the hot, cinnamon sugar churros. Couldn't get enough of this one! read more

Come for the ceviche! It's excellent and a true 5 star experience. This ceviche is prepared Peruvian style, which is my all time favorite prep. The serving was very generous. The fish was very fresh and delicate, marinated in that amazing lime sauce with secret spices, and served with all the authentic side tidbits that make Peruvian so unique: hominy, sweet potato, pickled onions, cilantro, and my personal favorite, the Conchita (Peruvian popcorn). It's a very special dish beautifully prepared! Get it. But of course, the menu has much more than just that. So besides the ceviche, we convinced ourselves to give a few other dishes a try. Mixed results. I was surprised to find Grilled Octopus on the menu. What a temptation, but turns out, I could have taken it or left it. It arrived, sizzling, on a hot plate with lovely grilled, glazed vegetables. A beautiful presentation and I loved the caramelized veggies. But unfortunately, the octopus was not tender, rather chewy and under seasoned. I have had better. I would give this a Pass. The Lomo Saltado was not one of our favorites either, but not without appreciating the excellent quality of the meat. Very tender, cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, it was the French fried potatoes. They were not crispy and missing the amazing flavor we have been accustomed to, of a good frying oil. They were just soggy, and the saltado gravy was lacking something that is usually rich and complex. But there is one more dish I had decided to try, based on several other reviews, that turned out to be delicious. The fried fish. These were small nuggets of wonderfully tender, moist fish, lightly breaded then quickly fried in a good oil. The final touch was the pickled onions on top. Delicious, very memorable, and one I will definitely return for. It really doesn't need the creamy tartar sauce, but a small cup of it comes with the dish. This was actually a fun, unique adventure. Historically, Peruvian cuisine has been heavily influenced by the Chinese and Spanish in many forms, so makes for a interesting meal regardless of what you choose. I would return. read more

The ceviche was good. The sweet potato was too hard. The tallarín a La huancaina con lomo was lacking flavor. The mixed fried rice had an oyster sauce on it that gave it a sweet taste. Def not as expected. The waiter seemed annoyed when I called him over for aji and napkins. Literally ripping my napkin to share with my mom. The picarones were good but overall for a bill of $98 not worth it I'd rather go to Aji Limon or Peruvian rotisserie in HB read more

Great place to visit!! Five stars for the food, ambiance, and overall service of this restaurant. Ps. The background music is bomb. read more

The main reason this place got a 3 star is the wait time. We waited about 45 minites to be sat. There was only 1 server for the entire restaurant and it was busy. He was hustling but throughout the time, he never came by to refill glasses or ask how anything was. He only had time to take our orders and drop off food. Based on the food, I think it's a 4 star. The lomo saltalda was excellent. Strong 5 star on this dish. The Causa sampler was a strong pass. The sampler is almost all potato with a tiny bit of filling on top. The flavor was good, the ratios was bad. read more

Good Peruvian restaurants in OC seem to diminishing and this place unfortunately didn't change my mind. I came here for a friend's birthday and liked the clean, tropical decor- the space itself was inviting. Our server was friendly, but the staff seemed short-handed; we were only checked on once throughout the meal. I ordered the Lomo Fusion. Sadly, the soy sauce was overwhelmingly salty- and I actually have a higher tolerance for salty food but this was beyond that. It completely overpowered the dish. The beef was another disappointment. We asked for medium rare, but what arrived was closer to medium, a bit tough, and clearly a cheaper cut. For $25 before tax, I expected better quality. If you've had the same dish at VOX Kitchen, you know what a difference using filet mignon can make- same price, far better flavor and tenderness. The aji verde sauce was also a letdown: dull in color and lacking the fresh, herbaceous zesty kick that usually balances a heavy dish like this. Overall, between the overly salty sauce, subpar beef, and bland condiments, the value just isn't there. The friendly service saved this from a one-star review, but I won't be returning. read more

No reservations are needed They close at 8:00pm Service is impeccable Relaxing vibes The food is good Ceviche is delicious Tamal is so soft and flavorful The saltados were good it's even better with the house green sauce. Dessert was these fried donuts with an indescribable syrup, which was also addicting. read more

We came here ready to spend money and enjoy a great meal- we're big foodies and were excited to try this place. I'm Peruvian myself, and I had hyped this place up to my friend about how good it was going to be. I was especially excited for my friend to try this for the first time. I had actually been here just a few days earlier for my first time, and the food and experience were completely different in a good way- which made this visit even more disappointing. We were there yesterday, Wednesday, January 21st, 2026. When we arrived, there was only one other couple dining. Right away, the waiter showed he didn't even know the menu. I ordered ocopa, and he told me twice that they didn't serve that there. I had to tell him he was wrong because I had literally just had it there a few days prior. At 7:23 PM, that same waiter came over and said "last call." I assumed he meant for drinks, but he said it was last call for food. I asked what time they close, and he said 8:00 PM. His explanation was, "the cooks gotta clean." We were surprised, but we ordered more food anyway. However, knowing we only had a little over 30 minutes left, we didn't order as much as we originally planned because we felt rushed. Around the same time, a woman walked in excited and said she had driven all the way from Los Angeles and wanted to order food to go. The waiter told her the kitchen was closing and said they needed to clean up. His tone came off rude and dismissive. At 7:50 PM, the waiter came to our table and asked if he could clear it while we were still eating. I said no. He said, "we gotta close." I reminded him they said they close at 8:00 PM. He replied yes- so I told him that meant I still had 10 more minutes to enjoy my food. We got up and left at 8:00 PM on the dot. I said bye to the staff and got absolutely no response. To make it worse, the food itself was not good this time. The anticuchos had no flavor, tasted like they had no salt, and were cold -- completely different from how they were just days earlier. This ended up being a bad experience all around. As a Peruvian, this was embarrassing because I had hyped this place up to my friend and was excited for them to try it for the first time, and it completely missed the mark. I will never come here again. I'll be going back to the neighboring Peruvian restaurant in Buena Park that I've been going to for years instead. They've officially lost a good customer who spends money every single week. If your real closing time is 7:30 PM, then just say that. That gives your staff plenty of time to clean up and lets customers actually enjoy their food without being rushed or kicked out. Really disappointing experience. read more

The ceviche was too fishy I didn't like it. The esthetic was cute and drinks were ok.

We've traveled to many countries and Peruvian food is by far the best we've ever eaten. We drove all the way from Hesperia to Anaheim to try this place and it did not disappoint. The ceviche was amazing, Lomo Saltado tasted just like it did in Lima and the Causa was delicious! Looking forward to our next visit to sample other options off that tasty menu YUM!!! read more

My my wife and I went to ceviche 19 last night for dinner. Although most restaurant reviews are always based on the food solely, this review is based on service we received. When we arrived at the restaurant about an hour before they closed, I noticed that there was a large party of 10 at one table, and three other tables with parties of four or more. My first thought was this is gonna take forever for us to be served because there was only one server. The server's name was Victor, and to my surprise, Victor did an excellent job multitasking taking care of over 25 customers by himself at multiple tables. He was courteous, punctual, checked in on us from time to time and is truly a class act. I don't know if he's part owner of the restaurant, but he sure acted like he was, made us feel really comfortable even making small talking in between visits. Being in a customer service base business myself as an employee, it's nice to see a person take pride in their workmanship and put the customer first as it should be. Service: A+ Food : B read more

I know excellent ceviche when I taste it and so does my Peruvian wife. And I can say with complete certainty that CEVICHE 19 has the best ceviche outside of Peru.

I mean the food was so tasty we both had the Lomo Saltado steak and it was so tender and flavorful it didn't last 10 minutes on the table my husband devoured his. We have to say this is by far our Number 1 favorite Peruvian spot ever!!! Also amazing customer service 100000000/10 read more

First time having Peruvian in OC. Delightfully surprised. We've had a lot of great meals at El Polla Inka and El Rocotto, but we're a little worried about the quality of a Peruvian place in OC. No need to worry. Ceviche 19 had great tasting food in a very nice and cozy restaurant. The namesake Ceviche was spot on, with plenty of shrimp scallops and fish in the dish. We had the lomo saltado and the saltado de camarones along with a shrimp pasta dish that I hadn't had before but was fantastic! Sorry you'll need to look the name up on the menu.... Service was gracious but could have been a little more attentive. To be fair it was one poor guy and he was doing his best, but they needed another server. In any case, definitely coming back if in the area. Highly recommended. read more

It's a quaint place. The food was amazing- as soon as you walk in you can tell the cook is making delicious meals! I had the lomo saltado and my guest had milanesa de pollo, we enjoyed both our meals. Scrumptious. The service was quick, attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend. read more

Food is flavorful (except for the overcook, dried up meats) service attentive but pricey for the location. For their Saltado, beef and chicken were overcooked. Thank goodness for the onions, tomatoes and fries, and the sauce on the rice, which made the dish edible. Aji sauce was good. For their $23 price point, you could go to a restaurant elsewhere. read more

My coworkers and I visited this restaurant for the first time for a team lunch. It was conveniently located near our workplace, which saved us time. Some of us weren't sure what to order, so we looked through Yelp review photos and chose dishes that looked delicious. I ordered Lomo Saltado (with white rice), and I was very pleased with the generous portions of beef and large onion pieces. The sauce was flavorful and paired perfectly with the beef and rice. My seven coworkers also enjoyed their meals, and we all agreed that we'd love to bring our families here to introduce them to this delicious food. read more

I was in Long Beach and I was hungry so I hopped on yelp and decided to look for a Peruvian place that I've never been to. Ceviche 19 caught my eye with its ratings and the exquisite pictures, so I decided to place an order on the phone. I ordered a leche de Tigre, arroz con mariscos and a jalea. Everything smelled delicious, paid my bill, got home and I was getting ready to eat until to my surprise 2 shrimps on the jalea were not cleaned It ruined the plate, and my family member decided to skip and I had to share the arroz con mariscos with them. I get it, it's a human error but to any of you who are ordering take out thru the phone please ensure to check that your shrimps, etc. are cleaned and edible. Other than that the Leche de Tigre was delicious. Not sure if I'll come back due to distance and bad experience from the dirty shrimp, but maybe hopefully in the future I can change my mind but until then. Check your order! read more

Cute restaurant, wonderful service. But on to the part that matters, the food. It was a very hot day. I wanted something cool and refreshing and their ceviche mixto delivered that and then some. The flavors of the "leche de Tigre" were outstanding! It reminded me of a tom kha broth. It was tangy, a bit spicy, and perfectly balanced. I am so devastated that I live hours away because this would be my usual spot for that dish. 10/10 We also got two other plates, arroz con mariscos which I'd rate a 7.5/10. The portion size was incredible with tons of seafood. I just found the sauce to be a bit too rich for my liking. When mixed with rice it levels out the saltiness and has a really nice flavor. My boyfriend got the Ají de gallina (his absolute favorite dish) and we thought it was great. 8/10. And it actually tasted better the next day once the flavors settled in. And last but not least, that green salsa... if you like spice do yourself a favor and get that green sauce. That sauce is so deliciously good. Our waiter hooked us up with it too, which we were very thankful. Overall 9/10, I'll be back next time I'm in town. read more

Came here with a Peruvian friend, and I myself spent 2 weeks in Peru trying out different local dishes all over the country 2 years ago. Needless to say, we have a high bar when it comes to Peruvian food. We ordered a ceviche merkdo, saltado mixto, choco lucuma, and chicha morada. The choco lucuma (chocolate cake with lucuma ice cream) was our favorite. The ceviche was decent. The saltado mixto had very few pieces of beef, chicken, and shrimp. The menu is Peruvian for sure; I saw and tried most of these dishes when I was in Peru. But the execution is lacking. I've enjoyed ceviche and other Peruvian dishes at other local Peruvian restaurants. There was plenty of parking when we went for lunch. Service was okay. read more
