Ummm what happened to the portion size for $23?! I get seafood is pricey but I swear to you I got 2 shrimp sliced in half in my ceviche mixto. I have zero issues dropping $$$ on food but the value doesn't add up. FYI I've been coming for a few summers & this year is when I noticed this change. I promise, you can 100% find a more filling & just as delicious meal in the area for the same cost or less. read more

Love this spot at Beach 97 concessions. I've tried a few places here, and I always wind up back at La Cevicheria. Extremely consistent food items, fresh ingredients, friendly staff. My go-to here is the chicken salad sandwich for a mid-afternoon beach snack. I usually pair it with a fresh watermelon juice from Brothers. Nothing better than that on a hot day in front of the ocean! read more

The ambience is so beautiful. The and service is astonishing. I'm real impressed. We came during happy hour. We tried the skirt tacos and the fire and ice ceviche is to die for it's cold, but it's really good. I loved it. read more

While on the beach with my fam, I was hungry! I stepped out of the sand to the boardwalk and discovered this cevicheria -- like, WHAT??? I love ceviche! So of course, I had to stop by. There were a couple of different ceviche dishes I could pick, but I decided on shrimp ceviche that was on a bed of quinoa salad. There was avocado, sweet potato, and huge corn husks that all tasted so fresh and delicious. When I finished, my belly was satisfied! And the price wasn't too bad either. It's a rather unusual spot for a boardwalk (in my experience), so I recommend! read more

I crave the food here all week long. I could eat here every day. Healthy, fresh, amazing.... I've had everything on the menu & it's truly hard to choose a favorite. It's also pretty cool that the owners are strong women from Peru, almost always overseeing things on-site or in the kitchen & perfectionists with their craft. I'm obsessed read more

Busy little ceviche stand in the newish food area of Rockaway Beach near 98 st - playland station. It was about 2pm on a Saturday when we came in. The set up of this place is confusing, and doesn't have a clear demarcation between people lining up to order, or picking up their food. I asked the cashier about a dish they had, as the entire menu is not in English, and he seemed reluctant to explain it to me. I ordered the diritito, which he said was simpler than the ceviche. I assumed it would be quicker to make than the ceviche then, but I then watched a bunch of people who ordered after me get their food. After then receiving my dish, I was surprised to see it was a bunch of thinly sliced salmon pieces and sliced avocado drowned in a salty sauce. It was not terrible, but way overpriced at $15 for the portion size and execution. Would not recommend nor return. read more

Came on 4th or July holiday weekend - not too busy, really enjoyed the ceviche. Food came out fast, generous shrimp portions, and it was a really nice light meal after being in the hot sun (felt much better vs eating fries and a burger). Will be back! read more

La Cevicheria - a bowl of food on a colorful table - Peruvian Near Me - Seaside, New York

La Cevicheria is kind of a gem on the boardwalk! I don't typically gravitate toward ceviche or would think to get it at a NYC beach, but this place is serving up some great dishes. My best friend and I got the ceviche mixto (shrimp, calamari, and fish of the day) ($12) and tiradito nikkei (salmon in soy sauce) ($14) and they were both a delightful afternoon snack. The salmon was super fresh and buttery, and was served with half an avocado, which is pretty perfect if you don't like eating just fish on its own. I thought the price was really reasonable for what we got. Great place to grab a bite to eat among all the options in this food strip if you like ceviche. read more

Ceviche still excellent! I tried the Nikkei tiradito and it's also phenomenal- buttery and melt in your mouth. So craveable - I'm scootering there now! read more

Part of the boardwalk "food mall" that also includes Edible Island, Low Tide, Citysticks, etc. I got the ceviche mixto and enjoyed the addition of sweet potato and hominy that added texture to the seafood mix of shrimp, calamari and white fish. Service was a bit slow cause the person taking orders was the one doling out the food instead of the person putting together the orders which created a bit of a bottleneck. read more

Walking on the boardwalk at beach 92nd at Rockaway ... we came across this spot, small stand along with other types of food and drinks vendors. This place had awesome Peruvian food, mostly seafood, we had Tiradito, Quinoa over a potato topped with mixed ceviche and papa a la Huancaina. OMG ... good portions, tasty food, good service and nice atmosphere. I definitely recommend this place if you guys take a stroll by the beach. We'll come back before summer ends. Great job Guys! read more

Amazing find! Located at the 97th st section of the rockaway beach, they have several fresh seafood options. The menu is only about 6 items long so you know each item will be quality. After I ordered, it took about 10 full minutes of waiting as she was meticulously putting it together so it was very fresh. I would definitely recommend checking out this place! Who knew that quinoa and shrimp go so well together! read more

"Have some fish after your beach day" This is one of my favorite stops after hanging out at Jacob Riis beach. Although this ceviche will not take you to Lima or Mancora, Peru, it can get you very close. The ceviche mixto ($10) is the most popular and your best best bet. They give you a decent portion and the seafood is pretty fresh. Actually, this ceviche prepared here is better than many actual restaurants in NYC and it is a better price than those "classy" establishments. It is not fast food as each cerviche is prepared individually and the food actually look like works up art, so there will be about a 10-15 minute wait, depending on how crowed the chefs are. Plus, it is better to arrive a little early in the day (before 6pm) because they may run out of ingredients and close shop. Just a note: this place along with the other places in this "food court" on the Rockaways do not accept debit/credit cards, so bring cash or use the shady ATM. read more

Great spot at the beach. I ordered the ceviche mixto and inka kola and paid 17 bucks. It took a bit of time to prepare but it was amazing! After being out in the sun and sand, a fresh ceviche and cold drink was perfect. The portion of fish was generous, the flavors and ingredients authentic. It was light but filling. Service was nice. Would recommend and return. read more

Rockaway can offer a good variety of food! La Cevicheria is one of the good, tasty and amazing ceviche you can have while being on the beach. The vegan ceviche is different, is good and will blow your mind. The taste is delicious, the combination of flavors and colors in the plate! The regular ceviche is also tasty! The service is good and they care about the world! They are eco friendly which is something we should also consider when going to eat or pick up food! If you are in the area, stop and have a taste of Peru! read more

Took a break from the sun and got a delicious Peruvian lunch at La Cevicheria. My choice, called the 97th Street Special, included ceviche mixto (in my mind no other ceviche beats Peruvian, and this did not disappoint), avocado, quinoa, and causa. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious. This brought back memories of great meals in Peru. read more

This place is usually good, but the flavoring today is so bland, and there is barely any juice in the mixto. 30 min wait for bland food is really disappointing. Oh and the frozen virgin mojito I ordered was never made because the guy doing it had to throw out the batch that was taking 15 mins to make. Don't waste your time. read more

The first time I went to Rockaway Beach I was expecting junk food, like at Coney Island, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got to this beach. Not only was there lots of gourmet food truck type food but they had La Cevicheria! All 3 of us ordered different things, and all 3 were amazing! It was fresh and so perfect for a hot summer day! It's now been 3 years and I stop and eat here every time I come to Rockaway! read more

If you're looking for a tasty, fresh and healthy food option at Rockaway Beach, you must try La Cevicheria. The $12 ceviche mixto comes with shrimp, squid, fish, hominy, red onions, and a piece of pumpkin (nice touch that added complexity of flavor that was otherwise lacking a bit) in a citrus brine. After filling up on an arepa and coconut shake earlier, this was a suitable light meal after laying in the sun all day. I'll definitely be back. read more

My husband & I are huge fans of ceviche and miss eating it beachside like when we lived in Central America (3 years for me, 29 for him), so we were pumped to find this place on the boardwalk. We ordered a ceviche mixto for $12, which is super reasonable as far as I'm concerned. As the name indicates it was a mix of shrimp and fish (as well as a few tiny squid rings) along with some corn, lime juice, and cilantro. The size was decent, but the flavor was underwhelming. The lemon overpowered the seafood, and there wasn't much else going on taste-wise. I looked for hot sauce on the counter to jazz it up, but didn't find any, though that could have been an oversight on my part. At the time there was only one (very nice!) person working the counter, and service was pretty slow. Not unreasonably slow (didn't wonder if she'd gotten out there to catch the fish herself), but definitely not quick, which in combination with the "eh" ceviche makes this a place I probably wouldn't come back to, personally. I see that it has a bunch of other good reviews, though, so perhaps I was there on an off day or should have gone for something other than the ceviche mixto. read more

Nothing goes with cold beer on the beach like ceviche and La Cevicheria knows how to do it! Each batch is made to order, so he patient as the seafood "cooks" in the lime juice. They regular ceviche is $10 and has salmon, octopus, shrimp, calamari, and a ton of other stuff. The lime mix is so good, I poured it in my beer afterwards and drank it like a savage. Definitely swing by and try it! read more

I arrived at 550PM, they only had ceviche mixto left. $10.00 each. The ceviche was phenomenal, it did not tasty fishy. We waited for a bench to clear up, and sat down outside while a band played live music. Its a cool place to chill on a summer day. It reminded me of Venice beach for some reason. read more

Def not the best place to be. I can't believe I paid 10 dollars for 4oz of fish. It tasted good, but not the best at all. The shrimp causa was another fail. I feel Like a wasted 22 dollars for no reason. read more

The $10 vegetarian ceviche, which includes asparagus, mushroom, cilantro, quinoa, Peruvian corn, in a zesty lime&yellow pepper juice is also supposed to have hearts of palm, but La Cevicheria didn't give me any so I docked a star. On the up side, they included avocado. The vegetarian ceviche is super tangy limey tartness and quite possibly the best vegetarian meal option at the Beach 97th Street concession. read more

Ok I am Peruvian and we can't get fooled by our fellow citizens regarding our own food. I was at the cebicheria and asked the classic cebiche. I was waited for 10 minutes and I got a very very tiny plate with a few pieces of fish and shrimp topped with lots and lots of red onions!! The flavor was very good. Very close to home flavor. No where in NYC, Peruvian restaurants serve that very very small amount of cebiche for a price that it is not worth it.period. As per one of the owners she argued " we used the best ingredients" Fine for them . Ask any Peruvian what is the size of a plate of cebiche. For the $12 price tag of this sample plate of cebiche you can get a very fair size of cebiche with good ingredients in any Peruvian restaurant in NYC Please be aware of the cebicheria in 97 street in Rockaway beach. It seems they want to get rich just during the summer months. Be aware. Food wise I will give them a 9 out of 10 but price wise is not worth it at all. read more

Really great, especially for boardwalk food. I had the shrimp ceviche quinoa salad. Everything is made fresh so it takes a few minutes, but is worth the wait. The shrimp was fresh, the citrusy dressing was delicious, and all in it was a much better lunch than I am accustomed to eating on a picnic table before heading down to the beach. read more

The food was good (had the ceviche mixto with quinoa) but the woman preparing the food licked the back of her hand while preparing the food. She was wearing gloves but she licked the glove to remove excess food. It was pretty gross, while the food was good I'm not sure I'd go back after that. read more
