    Servings. This is what we would described this place. Servings are huge. And they're serving their full menu. Started with chicharon de calamari, they looked like onion rings but better. No tentacles but they were still enjoyable with their dip. And of course, ceviche de pescado. Just look at the serving size in a bowl. This is ceviche heaven. Main courses were pechuga empanizada (breaded chicken), man this was also very good. Then the corvina cevichef which was also very tasty. If I compared this to the grilled corvina from Peruvian Grill, I prefer the latter as their corvina had a hint of crispiness which made the fish very enjoyable. Then the arroz chaufa de mariscos. Again, to compare the chaufa de mariscos of Peruvian grill, preferred the taste of the latter but that doesn't mean El Ceviche's version isn't enjoyable as it still is very tasty, plus didn't I mention their huge servings? Took home the leftovers so we can just stay at the beach the next day and enjoying these meal again. You're gonna fall asleep after dining here. No outdoor dining unfortunately. It's so bad writing these reviews as looking at these pics makes my mouth watery and stomach growling. Another place to go back to when in Sarasota.

    Chaufa mixto

    This spot is very authentic, me and my wife both enjoyed it and we will definitely eat here again. We had the Chaufa mixto with seafood and the seco de cordero which is lamb stew and they weee both amazing

    I've been to this place a few times. What sticks out the most is that the PORTIONS ARE HUGE. I've had a ceviche several times. It could easily feed two. It's a Peruvian style ceviche featuring a mix of seafood and onion and marinate in a citrus juice to cook. I love the acidity and it hits the spot! The seafood fried rice was spot on for flavor. They filled the entire to-go box and lasted for 4 meals!

    Appetizer- Chicharron de Calamari Served with red onions and yellow sauce.  The red onions were so good, we asked for more.

    Came to this spot with friends while visiting Sarasota. Location: Small little restaurant in a shopping center with parking in front. Food: Amazing flavor and giant portion sizes! We were started off with the roasted corn and green sauce (disposable containers due to Covid). Calamari- giant plate with red onions and yellow sauce. Great flavors and only $7.99 Ceviche de Pescado- Amazing flavor and huge portion. My husband couldn't finish it. Lomo a lo Macho- Beef sirloin (made to your liking) with side of yuca and plantains. Included a bowl of mixed seafood (I could make out shrimp and mussels) in a creamy flavorful sauce. We were 5 people and everyone loved their meals! We will definitely be recommending and revisiting this spot anytime we're in Sarasota.

    Food

    Family owned. All fresh! Delicious. Great service. I would call this a hidden gym and will be back.

    Portions are huge for the price. But I found the food to be lacking in the loads of flavor I was hoping for. The yucca was cut on the big end, giving less surface area for the fry oil to crisp them and the sauce they were served with was cold cheese. I've had these in Chicago and they were served with a light vinegar that was perfect. Pretty disappointed in these. The ceviche was Devine. Light and crisp and tart. It wasn't served with anything for dipping like chips but it was yummy. The calamari was okay, nothing to knock your socks off. The dinners lacked salt or any other spice. But the real reason I gave 3 stars and not 4 is the service was SLOW. There appeared to be 3 people serving tables and it just took painfully long.

    After a relaxing day at Siesta Key beach, we stopped at The Cottage for lunch. I cannot say enough…read moregreat things about this restaurant. It's got a relaxing beach vibe with outside seating and a nice patio in the back with enough shade. I could tell that they host nightly entertainment here with a small stage. For lunch, I ordered the lobster maki roll. I'm not a big sushi fan, but I was intrigued. This lobster roll was one of the best sushi rolls I've had in a long time. Also ordered include the blackened grouper sandwich, billionaire burger, and tempura shrimp appetizer. Our group loved every entree. The cocktails were also refreshing. I really loved my jalapeño watermelon margarita. Our server was wonderful - very friendly and quick service. Definitely an enjoyable lunch or dinner spot!

    We booked this place via OpenTable since it received great reviews. We ended up parking next door…read moresince parking was a bit hard to navigate. The parking place had ample parking where you needed a mobile app to pay for your parking. There was a larger souvenir store there if you needed to kill time before your seating. Once it was our time for our dinner reservations, we were greeted and seated at our table. Our waitress was a bit sarcastic or had a witty comments that didn't sit well with my kids. When ordering our foods, the kids asked what type of drinks they had since it was not listed on the menu. She said Coke but didn't elaborate that they had Coke products. Since she said Coke so fast our daughter didn't hear the response and asked her the question again where she just said that's a great question and ignored her and moved on. Food wise - we had the Peruvian ceviche, Peruvian chicken, I think I had a special grouper dish. The food was good. We were able to eat everything and the kids enjoyed their kids burger meals. Outside of the waitress comments, the place placed nice modern music to listen to and had the basketballs games playing on the tv at the bar.
