This is great ceviche and Peruvian cuisine. Take your time ordering ahead as it is one person operation. But the wait is worth it as the food is fresh. read more

Great food, great owner and service, very personable. Limited menu which makes choosing even less work, love the simplicity of the business. Highly recommended. read more

Ceviche7 - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

I passed this place when I was walking around the neighborhood. It was closed at that time but I read good yelp reviews so I decided to give it a try when it was open. The location is extremely odd because it's hidden by large shrubs on the left but next to a half-built house. It's not even a food truck but like a tiny food box. Seating is extremely limited with only one table and I got mosquito bites while there but the food was pretty good. I ordered the ceviche pescado and lomo Saltado. The ceviche wasn't like anything I've ever eaten before because it had fish chunks, raw inca corn, toasted inca corn, and sweet potato. Sounds like an extremely odd mixture but it all surprisingly works together. The lomo saltado was pretty plain. It tasted like a Hispanic/Chinese stir fry beef and veggies with rice. Nothing very special but tasty nonetheless. The prices are pretty good for what you get so I would recommend trying this place. read more

Absolutely delicious! Every time, without fail. David makes everything fresh to order so you may have to wait awhile to get your food but it's 100% worth it. read more

I'm not sure what's better, the food or the service! The owner is always there cooking the best food and is quick to recognize me even when I haven't been there in months. It's a great spot to walk your dog over to and hang out for a minute while he cooks. The food does take a bit (About 15-20 mins usually) since he makes everything as soon as you order and he's in a very small space. Now, the food, I always get the Pan con Chicharrón and would never order anything else since nothing could be better! I always bring anyone visiting me over here and everyone says the same thing: this place is the best. Get extra spicy orange sauce, I would buy bottles of that if I could! read more

Made from scratch by just the chef owner himself. Food and price are 9/10, only downside is you have to sit outside and may have limited seats. Nature means bugs and humid, depending on weather. read more

Ceviche: 5/5 - I don't think anything will be able to top this one. Lomo Saltado: 5/5 - Best I have had so far This place is a little gem in Austin. Big flavors and quality for the size of its place. It is operated by one person so you may need to be patient if it is busy. But let me tell you that the wait will be worth it! Once we got our food, we ate under the scorching texas sun and that didn't even bothered us. It was that good! will definitely be back. read more

1 star: Be prepared - this place is a WAIT. With two people ahead of me, maybe a 30 minute wait for one order of ceviche. Maybe you can order, and head over to Spiderhouse for a couple drinks and then come back! 5 stars: ceviche was delicious. read more

We ordered Anticuchos, Pan con Chicharron, Lomo Saltado, Papas huichican. Everything cooked perfectly. Delicious and good flavor and well priced. Easy to stop by and easy on the wallet. read more

Very tasty. But no menus (except scan a square code style). You shouldn't have to subject yourself to the microwave radiation of a cell phone just to see the menu. I just ordered what the owner said was the best seller. It was beef with sauteed onions over white rice with a bunch of large french fries (but no ketchup); the fries were very good w/o ketchup. The special sauce was an okay substitute for ketchup, but I needed it for the rice. Overall, it just didn't seem like enough entree given the $19 I spent for a plate of food and coke. It was cold outside so I couldn't sit outside and eat on one of their less than comfortable chairs. I'm just pointing out things that would be paid attention to for a real 5 star eating establishment. The owner, David, was nice and friendly. But for this type of price, I think I can get better fed at a brick and mortar restaurant. For a food truck, the food was pretty good, just too pricey, imho. Good luck! read more

This is a hidden gem! Latin American music and great cheap food! The ceviche is fresh and good, the owner is friendly. We didn't have the lomo saltado but it smelled delicious, so we will definitely come back! read more

Vegetarian/Vegan options weren't posted on the menu outside the truck, but when I asked the chef he made a delicious vegan vegetable stir fry! The wait was a little long, but very worth it. Not only was the chef super friendly, but the food tasted amazing! read more

Ceviche7 - Vegetable Stir Fry - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Took a minute to find this place, sort of set back around the corner, but super glad that we did. Jacquie got arroz con chaufa (Peruvian fried rice, part of the larger genre of chifa), I got pan con chicharrón (pork sandwich), and I got a side of beef anticuchos (beef heart kebab) as well. Food was delicious, and portions were great, totally ended up with lunch for tomorrow. David at the counter was friendly and fast. (Hola, David! We were the couple where the wife got super excited about Inka Kola.) Figure about $10/head if you don't over-order like us two dummies... Would absolutely come again. read more

This place is a hidden west campus gem. The food is amazing, everything smells and tastes homemade and fresh. Definitely get the Pan Con Chicharron. Owner is super nice. He deserves way more customers. Everything, especially the pan con chicharron, slaps read more

Look for this hidden gem across the street from Trudy's on 30th. If you don't know he's there, you might walk past it. I've only been once, but this is already my favorite Peruvian place in town (*much better than Llama's*). The ceviche was amazing! Perfectly balanced flavors with the right amount of lime. We also had the Lomo saltado and the pan con chicharrón. The Lomo saltado wad honestly the best I've ever had. Keep in mind that he works in a *very* small trailer all by himself. If there is another customer there you will wait atleast 20 minutes.... but it's worth it! read more

This is hands down the BEST Peruvian place in Austin! You will not regret dining here. Mr. David is a great Peruvian chef that cooks the best Ceviche I've tried in my whole life. He prepares the ceviche right there and it was amazing Kudos to you Mr David, we will for sure come again read more

Ceviche7 - Ceviche de Pescado (eaten) so good, came with sweet potatos - Peruvian Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

This place is awesome. It's simply incredible how he manages to whip up delicious dishes in a space no bigger than a closet. The menu is simple and the food is fantastic-- every dish I have tried so far has been excellent. The huancaína is delicious-- creamy, cheesy, and just enough spice to make you come back for more and more. The ceviche has a wonderful flavor, and the mixture of the two kinds of corn (cancha) make for a magnificent textural pop that compliments the acidity of the dish. The lomo saltado is another dish that is absolutely delightful for the taste buds. So many flavors-- tomato, red onion, garlic, beef, rice, green onion, fries... it seems like such an awkward combination at first, but when tossed all together (french fries as well) and topped with the rocoto sauce, it's so good you never want it to end. Ceviche7 is one of those gems that you are glad to find in Austin. Word of warning though: David, the chef, is a super nice guy, but he's terrible at estimating how long it will take him to get your food to you... always anticipate the wait being longer than expected, but don't worry-- the food is absolutely worth it. read more

Who would've thought some of the best Peruvian food would come out of a 5x5 metal shack? This hidden gem is run by a nice man who I'm certain cooks all of his food with love. It's just him there though so it takes a little while to get your food esp if there are other people (~20-30mins). We got the Lomo Saltado $8.50 and the Saltipapas $4.99, both were great choices. The orange sauce is so delicious I would've taken extra if I knew! There's some street parking and one bench and few chairs for seating. read more

Hands down best ceviche that has ever blessed my tongue. From the food to the hard working man who is behind all the magic is beyond a five star rating. I don't live in Austin which is a bummer- coming from Dallas I'd drive here every weekend just to satisfy my cravings. This man deserves more than a little shack or at least the recognition of locals. Hats off to you sir- muchas gracias, nos veremos pronto! read more

Tried their main signature Ceviche item made with Magi Mahi (I think)... just ok. The rest of stuff in the dish, potatoes nuts etc was fine.

Lomo Saltado is the best I've ever had. Call ahead for immediate pickup. Get extra sauce and cilantro to kick it up a level. There's only one table to sit, so don't plan to stay. I'll definitely be back to try other stuff. read more

Absolutely delicious! Got the Ceviche and Arroz Chaufa by recommendation of a friend, but I'm 100% going to get everything on the menu. The Ceviche was really well balanced between the sweet potatoes and citrus juice. Arroz Chaufa was some great comfort food and the spicy sauce is nice and medium, not overpowering, but still has a kick. read more

Amazing authentic Peruvian ceviche! They had a little wait, took us about 40 minutes to get our ceviche and fried rice but it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT. If you want fast food go to McDonalds. This place is amazing, the owner is amazing, and this is some of the best Peruvian food I've ever had. read more

I recently picked up food from Ceviche7, and honestly, it was the worst restaurant/food experience I've ever had. I spend a lot of time in Peru, so I flat out love Peruvian food & had been wanting to try out this food truck. Last week I finally got my opportunity. Since Yelp said the truck opened at 6:00 PM, I called at 6:00 PM sharp to place a pick-up order. The owner answered and said they'd be opening at 6:30, and to call back then. So, at 6:30, I called and placed a pick up order (ceviche, lomo saltado, and 2 orders of chaufa). The owner said he'd make my order his top priority since I'd called at 6:00 and told me I could pick up at 6:45 PM. So, I headed over. When I got there, he told me he was slammed and the order would be ready at 7:00. At 7:00, he told me it'd be ready at 7:20. At 7:20, he said it'd be ready in 10 minutes. At 7:30, he said it was almost ready. At 8:05 PM, I finally received "top priority" order I'd placed at 6:30 the second he opened. What was frustrating is he lied to every single person that placed an order or inquired about an order by continually telling them their order would be ready in 10 or 15 minutes, when he KNEW it wouldn't be. And when, they'd inquire further, he'd make up all kinds of excuses, like he had "60 orders" he was making. I have no idea what on earth he was doing that entire time, but he didn't deliver a single meal from 6:45 PM - 8:00 PM. Finally, at 8:00 PM, he started giving people their orders. If the food was amazing, I'd give it 4-stars and chalk it up to an off night. But, the food was mediocre. I guess if you've never had amazing Peruvian food, then what he makes is great. But, his food is to Peruvian food what Wendy's is to hamburgers. It's mediocre. Even if it was the most amazing experience of my life, just based on the flavor & quality of the food, I wouldn't go back. The lomo saltado was bland, and the meat was over-cooked. And, the chaufa was mediocre. I will say though, if you love spicey ceviche, his is legitimately excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It just wasn't worth the 1.5 hour wait. Had he been honest about the time, I'd have taken a pass, but checked him out another day. But, he lied about the time, even when it knew what he was saying was untruthful. As a result, I left my wife at home with 4 kids & 2 newborns to pick up what was supposed to be dinner. She ended up having to put most of the kids to bed hungry, and had to hold down the fort for ~2 hours by herself. Not cool at all. And it wasn't just me he did that to. It was everyone. read more

When we got there, there was a small line. David is the only one there taking orders and cooking the food, so the wait for the food was a bit long. We waited about 25-30 minutes, but it was worth it. We got the arroz chaufa and the lomo saltado. The food smelled incredible. I thought my dog was going to pass out from ODing on the fumes. Seriously, he was going nuts over the food. Our favorite was the lomo saltado. The meat was really tender and flavored well, and the fried plantains added just the right hit of sweetness. I highly recommend checking out this place. If you don't believe me, you'll believe my dog, right? read more

Amazing Ceviche, probably one the best in Austin. I finally found a spot that has the heart and soul of Peru. read more

I am not sure exactly the best place to start... Well, the beginning I suppose. I was riding by one sleepy night on the way home and was awoken by the glow of David's shiny metallic food stand, over the white rocks in front of a usually dark set of bamboo stalks. Or, to be completely honest, the sign spelling out "ceviche". If that's not enough to get your running, or at least walking briskly, you should perhaps reevaluate the things you hold dear to your heart. Simply put, the ceviche blew me away. Better than anything, absolutely exponentially, that I've had this distance from the equator. Only a few nights later I had a small group of friends over and everyone was arguing about dinner ideas, each with their own, I dragged them on a sneaky walk to what ended up being Ceviche7. Each person left ridiculously satisfied. Tonight's dinner was no different. I'd give you tips and/or tricks to ordering but we've now had almost everything that is offered there is nothing I could tell you but to try it all. Try something you don't think you'll like. You will. David takes amazing care in every component, every facet of the dish. He presents each meal with genuine eloquence and interest. Not to mention, as you will see in nearly all the other Yelp reviews above (and prolly soon below)- he is one of the most friendly people you'll meet this week and the next. The first, second, and third times the charm. I'm sure the many each that will soon follow shall be too. ¡Viva Ceviche7! read more

4 stars for food 1 star for service I get that this is a one man show and that the chef is working hard to put out great food in a tiny food truck. What has to be resolved is a 40 min wait for the Peruvian Spicy Pulled Chicken that we ordered. Other food trucks that serve similar food are able to get food out in a reasonable time. As long as you have a lot of time and do not mind out that folks that order that dish will have to wait then please enjoy some good Peruvian food read more

Hunting down food trucks in Austin as usual. I love ceviche and decided to try this place. It's a shack..probably the size of my bathroom ran by one guy so expect to wait. There's also one picnic table to wait, eat, chill or whatever floats your boat. So we ordered the Ceviche de Pescado and Lomo Saltado. Took a bit to come out, but the weather was pleasant and a friend met up with us so no rush. The smell wafting from kitchen/shack was such a teaser. My boyfriend got the Lomo Saltado and omgherd! When he let me try it I was tempted to test our relationship and scarf it down for myself. The meat was so tender and full of flavor. My Ceviche was delicious and I devoured it, but I kept stealing from his plate so you know where my stomach leaned towards. Major hit. I'll be back for you little shack. read more

This is a Peruvian gem, manned by a talented Chef David. 5 stars for food, service and authenticity. My family is from Lima, Peru so we are very particular about Peruvian cuisine, especially the ceviche. Chef David makes an excellent ceviche de pescado that was balanced and flavorful! Don't forget to drink the leche de tigre when you're done. We also got the pan con chicharron, which had perfectly fried pork and filled two hungry people up with one sandwich. I will definitely come here again -- I will have to bring my Peruvian parents here to evaluate but I have no doubt they will love it too! read more

I was the only person there on this beautiful January afternoon at 4:00 pm. David, the chef/owner, was just opening up. He made the ceviche pescado for me FRESH and even fried up some sweet potatoes and yucca fries! I think if he could he would totally sit down with every single person to discuss the food and how me makes it and how YOU want it. He takes a lot of pride in what he is doing and it shows! I'm already planning to come back for the sweet yucca "tamales" he makes for dessert! read more

Incredible food truck experience. David clearly cares deeply about the food. I had the ceviche, which is the best I've had in Austin. Everything is made from scratch. It's an nondescript trailer that would be easy to miss. He's definitely in need of a larger trailer and hopefully he'll do well enough to upgrade. He offers the ceviche mild to spicy, and I opted for spicy. He made it mild and put the peppers on the side. It definitely had a kick, but not overwhelming. It was served with the traditional side of boiled sweet potato, cancha (Andean popcorn), and topped with I think fried sweet potatoes, all of which nicely offsets the spice and citrus flavors of the ceviche. read more

Honestly, a small jewel of the area. Stupendous food, tremendous service. David is charismatic and very friendly. Before yesterday, I had never tried Peruvian cuisine but now I am eager to go back. Small, local, hispanic-owned business, if you choose to support that. If not, the fantastic food will do. read more

After 3 failed trials I finally tried the Ceviche of Ceviche, and it changed my life! It is an explosion of senses: soft tiny bits of raw fish marinated in a citrusy- garlicky juice, mixed with onions, and corn. After the first bite I wanted to crawl right next to the tiny little food truck and cry for all of the years I have wasted without this ceviche. The chef is an artist and I think he is being wasted in this tiny little truck. He deserves a couple of Michelin stars. This place is a hidden gem and it is crowded for a good reason. You'll probably wait for at least 15 minutes but it will worth it. read more

So good. Best pork belly sandwich I've ever come across. The owner is super great and giving. Food was fast but not sketchy (pre-made) fast.
