THE FOOD HERE IS AMAZING. Peruvian food that's as good as my grandma's is hard to come by...esp in Texas. This food truck is as real as it gets, the Lomo Saltado is to die for, and I will be coming back to try the rest of the menu. It is hard to find, so just be on the lookout when you drive up the street, you should see a tent with a blue table underneath it that's next to the truck. The owner is very friendly and made me feel at home, excellent service. The ambiance is very authentic, he even has a small bluetooth speaker playing latin music and everything. The sauce that comes with the Lomo Saltado is a heavy hitter too, he makes it himself. This is a must!! read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now and I finally got the chance. Located in a small unassuming lot, this food truck is a one man show that serves up delicious Peruvian food. I got the lomo saltado, a classic for me, and it was worth the visit. The meat was tender and flavorful, the fries were crispy, and the sauce was addicting. I got there right at opening and waited over an hour for my food. Note that I also came in the middle of summer so everyone walked out of there with mosquito bites. Luckily, he did have bug repellent available for use. I'd come back to try more food, but would probably wait until the winter. read more

Ceviche7 - Lomo saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

We came here as a late night stop. It was 4 of us and we each ordered ceviche and a lomo saltado to share. We ordered ahead or at least we thought, we then found out that there is no ordering ahead and meals are made when you order at the window.. a bit disappointing since we only were in Austin - from San Antonio - for a concert and we still needed to drive back, but eventually understood the policy. The food took about 45 mins to come out, the ceviche was the first thing and it was beyond delicious! Full of flavor. We eventually got the lomo saltado and this one was a solid 3 star, it didn't have a it of meat nor enough sauce. I would have been fine without it. I definitely still recommend the ceviche and will get it again next time we are in the area read more

The best Peruvian food in town hands down! He's open late too which is so convenient when you want something good to eat after being out! The ceviche is AMAZING - one of the best if not the best in town. The lomo saltado is INSANE - get them both!! you cannot go wrong with those items. He is very friendly and works as quick as he can in there to get it out in good time. There is a picnic table right in front of the truck to sit and eat. You can also order to go. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Ceviche7 - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Before coming here, consider the following: - Are you with a big group? - How hungry are you? - What day of the week is it? - What time are you going? Don't get me wrong, none of this will take away how delicious the food is here, however it will affect how long you have to wait for your food. The chef and owner is a one-person show on most days during the week. I don't think he realized the traction he's getting from people's reviews of his food truck. He mentioned that he usually has a helper on weekends so wait times may be shorter then. We had went on a Friday night and it was just him working. I believe it took around 2 hours between us arriving there to us getting our food. When we arrived, there was a couple waiting for their order. I didn't realize at the time but the group sitting at the table in front of that truck still had orders pending. It takes the chef around 20 minutes to prepare each dish. As for the food itself, you can taste the heart and passion that goes into the dish. The chef certainly didn't take shortcuts or allow the long line of people awaiting their orders to distract him from preparing the meal properly. I ordered the Lomo Saltado which was delicious. From the fries that came with the order to the sauces, everything was cooked to perfection. Yum!! read more

BEST CEVICHE I ever had! It may look small but it was packed with fish in there. The corn, plantain chips, and all the items in there add such a great texture to it. I enjoyed how tart it is too. We asked for medium spice level, but it is spicy already so be warned. I also got their salchipapas which is just sausage and fries. They filled it to the brim and gave me three different sauces. I got it to go because there is a lot of mosquitoes there. The chef was nice and he had bug sprays available for us to use. read more

Very tasty Peruvian food at a local food truck. A little tucked away but not too hard to miss. You can smell the spices as you are ordering. The chef and cashier were very nice and friendly. Ceviche was my favorite of the 3 items. The lomo saltado was very good as well. I personally like my fries cooked with the steak to soak up the sauce but the fries on the side weren't bad. I would definitely return read more

This food truck is the perfect example of don't judge a book by its cover. Looks really sketchy but the food is SPECTACULAR! The truck is just one man running the whole business and he makes everything to order from scratch so be prepared to wait. You should cal ahead to order to make it a little quicker, but even calling ahead you'll have to wait. He also cares a lot of only using the freshest, healthiest ingredients so you know you are getting quality food. Anyways, the food was so flavorful. I got the Peruvian Ceviche - highly recommend! The fish was so tender and the flavors blended so beautifully with the crunchy onions and potato. I've never had peruvian corn before but it was so crunchy and chewy at the same time. Each bite was glorious! I think he did overcharge me :/ but WORTH IT! read more

Dude-- this is a new staple in my routine. A small Menu, but such a great spot. The owner is the nicest guy ever and hearing his story made me love the food so much more. I got the Chicharron sando-- amazing. Great bread, meat was amazing (kind of like a crispy pull pork) and sauce pulled it all together Got the chicken skewers too-- sauce was off the chain Ceviche -- honestly was mid but I don't love Peruvian style ceviche. Needed a little bit more base in it, some spice and a little bit less salt (I don't usually say less salt) By far the best Peruvian in Austin. No contest. read more

Wait was a bit long, but only bc everything is made to order and super fresh. Loved my lomo saltado ($16) and will be back for the ceviche! The fries and sauce itself were also amazing on its own. There's only one picnic table and a couple of other seats and table at the truck FYI. read more

I don't write reviews often, but this was one of the best food trucks I've been to as of now. The prices are extremely reasonable compared to portion size. But most importantly was how tasty and delicious it was. Best ceviche in town by far. read more

OOOHH MYYYYY GODDDD!!! This hidden gem is above 5 stars and any Peruvian Restaurant. We're visiting from Houston and searched for a Peruvian restaurant in Yelp and due to all the great reviews and all 5 stars, we chose to go to Ceviche7. The food is great, I'm speechless. We had the Ceviche, Lomo Saltado, and Chaufa rice. Every dish was spectacular! read more

I have to admit, this is my first time trying Peruvian food, and from a food truck as well. Austin's food truck scene is something like no other, so I wasn't too worried, especially with all the outstanding reviews. The only worry was time to receive the order, but from what I could tell, it was because every single order was cooked fresh by the chef. I'm willing to accept a wait for great food. We decided to go on a not so busy Wednesday, which worked out great, as only one person was ahead of us and their order was almost done. It also helped that my wife and the Chef, Don David, spoke Spanish and had very nice conversation about the food. We ordered the Ceviche, Peruvian fried rice, sirloin steak stir fry with garlic rice and fries, plus a side of fried plantains. The Ceviche was amazing. No surprise, as he mentioned he uses Mahi-Mahi, not the cheaper Tilapia like other places. Something to consider, for the people complaining about the price. If the exact same dish were served in a restaurant, the price would easily be double his. We should be so lucky to have the unique style of food in a cost effective food truck setting. Plus the quaintness of it hidden off of Guadalupe street in front of a home (now business) adds to the charm. It wasn't just the Ceviche, but the other ingredients in the dish. The Peruvian corn or whatever others call it was delightfully different and tasty. He had soft cooked kernels and hard cooked ones as well that really added to the uniqueness of this dish. There was also light sweet potato chips as well as a lovely yam type root that melted in your mouth topped with cilantro. Next was the stir fried sirloin. I say next, as each order came out one after the other since he is a one man show in this truck. That was actually perfect for us. He is very proud of his food and work, because the result is all his, from selecting the quality ingredients to creating the unique dishes and recipes to cooking them fresh off the grill. He mentioned the cuts of beef were top quality. He wasn't kidding. I asked for medium just to be safe and the beef was still perfect taste. His spices are fantastic. Be careful of the red peppers. They are HOT HOT, even for my hot spicy accustomed palate. I don't get the garlic rice, as I was expecting something other than white rice with some fried garlic on top. Guess I was expecting something more along the lines of garlic mash potatoes, but with all the food in this one dish I wasn't complaining. Plus, after mixing in the veggies from the stir fry into the rice, it made it perfect. I could have used more garlic, but that's just me, and something I will request next time. On to the fried rice. As Don David mentioned when we were ordering, "This is a lot of food!" We have the luxury of living just up the street from here, so we sampled each dish and saved rest for later. Even then, we were almost full by the time the rice came out. Now, I've tried all kinds of fried rices from all over the world, and kinda think I might be a fried rice expert. It also depends on your taste and palate, but I do know if there is not enough egg, or lack of flavor, too much oil or cheap ingredients (like frozen veggies so many Asian take out use). NONE of those applied here. This ranks up there with some of the best fried rice I have ever had. Probably in the top three. One reason was the ingredients, which you hear me repeat. The chicken was fresh, juicy and full of unique spices. Everything else in the rice made it a very special fried rice, and my favorite dish. I'm going to ask him next time if he can do it with the sirloin. The last dish was the plantains, which we already tried with the rice. They were cooked just right, not fried too much like others. I look forward to going back and trying all the other dishes. This truly is a special place, and we are lucky to have it. For all you impatient people, that really want to enjoy this food, leave your impatience at home. read more

Peruvian comfort food in a truck. The owner is a complete charmer. He is friendly, helpful and will have long conversations with you about everything. He will also have long conversations with everyone else who comes after you. Your food comes when it comes. Americans rush too much anyway. A few pisco sours would help with the wait ... But a nicer owner can not be imagined. The food is everything you could possibly want when it comes. There is a lot of it too. Comfort food? I was comforted. read more

This place was pretty good for a late night meal. We came in at around 11PM and were not disappointed. I'm from Miami so I've had my fair share of Peruvian cuisine. The thing with this particular plate that I have found that REALLY messes it up is the level of salt. I've been to some very expensive Peruvian restaurants that make the lomo extremely salty to the point where you can't eat it. At this place they cooked it perfectly. The fries were very good and well cooked and so was the rice. I'm not a big fan of rice but theirs was delicious. The sauce is also very good. I totally recommend this place if you're looking for some good Peruvian food that is open late at night and isn't extremely expensive. read more

Ceviche7 - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

I didn't get his name but, the owner was super nice and can talk to you about everything. My husband and I really enjoyed his conversation. If there are people, expect a wait. He is a one man show preparing the food plate by plate using fresh ingredients and obviously love because the food is AMAZING!! As an appetizer, we ordered the beef heart anticuchos. The beef heart was cooked at a medium temperature and were very tender with a lot of flavor from the seasoning, fries and rocoto sauce (a little spicy.) For our entrees, my husband ordered the beef stir fry sandwich and I had the pan con chicharrón. Both sandwiches were so delicious and full of flavor. If he asks if you want sauce, cilantro, and onion, just say yes! We will definitely be coming back and bringing more people. read more

This little gem is tuckedaway in a corner next to Steel City Pops in North Campus. The owner is extremely nice, and the reviews about slow service are extremely out of touch. I'd much rather wait a bit for a freshly cooked meal that I know was given care. It's a small food truck - what do you expect? Go find a sit down restaurant if you want a full kitchen. The beef stir fry was delicious - tender, flavorful, and generous in proportions. I'm happy my friend showed me this place. I'll definitely be back! read more

An honest review for a respectable cook. The food is amazing, it's definitely a must try for Austin food trucks. You pretty much can't go wrong with anything you get. The ceviche is different than any other you've tried and probably better. The sandwiches are a pretty decent plus sized and delicious. The ambiance is fun and the owner loves to chat with you. He has a lot of pride in the quality of food that he produces. Here's the honest, the truck is a one man operation. Every time I have been, the estimated time has been significantly off. Expect around an hour or more wait if you're ordering more than 1 item. The opening hours are also not accurate. They've changed to opening at 8pm for the summer and up to 9pm if there's a heat advisory. This makes sense when you learn there's hardly any A/C in the truck. So basically, the truck may or may not be open during normal business hours in the summer. This leads me to my next point, the man works with what he has. The truck seems to be in need of some work, the electric panel seems to trip often causing more delays in the food. You can tell because his outdoor lights turn off and on at the same time his fryer and stove does. With some improvements to service, Ceviche7 has the potential to be so much more, yet already sits pretty high. read more

Wow! Food was bussin!! Service was quick and what a cute food truck. We ordered the Loma saltado and woah the steak used here was flavored to perfection not a bite was left of this plate. We also got the ceviche which was great and traditional, the perfect combo of fish and crunchy with the yucca chips, it could have more chips added to the plate but still amazing! read more

Food. Super yummy Service. Super nice Ambience, it's alright. eat outside and enjoy your food. The sauce is to die for read more

Amazing! This guy works so hard on his food and cares about the quality. It's a one man operation. One time I was late to pick up my food because of an accident and he told me to let him know next time because now the food won't be a good representation of his cooking. A real chef! Lomo is great, and his ceviche is best you can get for the price. He makes sure to use quality fish. Go support this place! A true gem. read more

Ceviche7 - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ceviche7 is the best Peruvian food in Austin Texas. We went on a weekday night and even though the hours online said that they opened at six the store wasn't quite open yet. We were about to leave around seven when we saw the owner pulling up to open the trailer so we stood around and waited for a while. The negative is that this corner he's at has a lot of mosquitoes and it can be freakishly hot because of the hot summers. In total we probably waited about two hours for the whole experience we got there at 6:30 and we got all of our food at 8:30. We ordered the Lomo saltado, the ceviche, and the arroz chaufa. The Lomo saltado was the best Lomo I've ever had! The arroz chaufa was crazy good too. People can get pissed at him inconsistency in opening but he makes great food. read more

An absolutely phenomenal food truck by an owner that is passionate about the food. You honestly can't find more authentic Peruvian food than right here. The guy works hard to make everything from scratch (even the sauces he makes are blended, nothing that comes packaged). His prices are reasonable and the quality of food shines through the taste. Its super fresh and delicious! I got the chicken and rice as well as the steak with rice/fries. Both were awesome! I'll come back to do the ceviche since that's what this place is known for. Come hungry! The portions are pretty big. read more

Ceviche7 - Ceviche de Pescado - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Oh my goodness we love Ceviche7. In the midst of our own personal BBQ tour, we had to break up the orgy of meat we had been consuming. Lomo Saltado is one of my all time favorite meals and with all the great reviews on Yelp, we just had to try this place! Ceviche7 was easy to find. They are located in the front yard of a business and there was plenty of street parking. The gentleman working was playing music and having a great time when we arrived. We ordered our food and enjoyed the music while the nice gentleman started cooking. It was equally exciting and painful watching him cook and cut the fresh vegetables while enjoying the wonderful cooking smells which only made us hungrier. Before we knew it we had received our food. My wife ordered the Peruvian Fried Rice. That may be the best fried rice we have ever had. Chicken was seasoned perfectly, rice was cooked perfectly and was so flavorful with onions, peppers and Choclo which is Peruvian corn. You have not had corn until you have had Peruvian corn. It kind of looks like chickpeas or corn on steroids. The rice is topped with sweet fried plantains and comes with their rocoto sauce which is a pepper sauce. A lot of different flavors working together. The Lomo Saltado did not disappoint. I mean c'mon, its a stir fry with French fries. How can you go wrong! All of this for about $20.00. Outstanding food, great price and an enjoyable experience. If we lived in Austin this would so be a regular stop for us. Love Ceviche7! read more

Authentic peruvian cuisine! Stopped by to try and was happy I did. Ordered the ceviche and lomo saltado plate--both dishes were fresh, juicy and flavorful. The owner did inform me that it takes time to create b/c he's making everything fresh--that's fine with me :) I shared these two dishes w/my partner and we were both full.

Highly recommend the ceviche! It was outstanding. It was one of the best ceviche my husband & I had, and it was so fresh, crunchy and savory. We chose it to be mildly spicy and it was a bit too exciting for our mouths haha. But nonetheless it was super delicious!! The chicken skewers were delicious as well. We got the inca cola and didn't really like it, it tasted like liquid bubble gum. We wanted to order yucca fries, but it is currently not being sold. Owner is very friendly and nice & not to mention very hard working. Thanks for the yummy foods! Highly recommended!! P. S - this place opens at 6pm-12am (not 5pm as yelp states). read more

I was really excited to try this place because it's rated super highly and is close to where I live as a university student. I went on a Sunday night and it wasn't busy at all. I was the only customer at the time and the owner was very kind and ready to assist. However, I did have to wait quite a while for my food although I appreciate how fresh and made to order the food is. I tried the ceviche and the chicken skewers although neither were great to be honest. The ceviche was colorful but sour? In the chicken skewers were flavorful but not juicy or tender. However, the fries were good although nothing mind blowing. The owner was very generous and offered me free water bottles. I'm willing to come back and give it another shot, I'm hoping my experience was just a blip because I was truly hopeful to have a great time here. read more

Summary: I think Pan con Chicharron is one of my favorite sandwiches of all time. And David's Ceviche de Pescado is another really fantastic dish. However, the wait time for this can range tremendously from 30mins to 1.5+ hrs depending on when you order. I still make the wait if that says anything Good: I have had other items (like the Lomo Saltado, which is good), but I do not stray from the Pan con Chicharron and Ceviche de Pescado anymore. Some of the best dishes in Austin from my experience. Bad: Mosquitoes are rampant near the truck. And lots of Ed Sheeran. Ugly: The wait time can be actually horrendous. Have to be patient (and physically present, sometimes) for him to actually put you in queue. Would love to see David improve his prep to get more food out in a reasonable time (though perhaps his food is so good because he only cooks per order?) read more

David's the best! He always hooks it up with the extra sauce and remembers our order :) best Peruvian food in Austin!

Such good food. Very simple menu but very delicious. Highly recommend the lado saltado. Get some extra sauce on it, you won't regret it.

The ceviche is the best food item. Owner of the food truck cares about what he is making and pays attention to detail. The only thing is it takes a long time and he is the only one working. However I am more concerned about the test and that is excellent. read more
