First Look at Ceviches El Puerto

While headed home, I saw a cute little trailer in front of a car wash at 21st and Arkansas. When I see something new, I immediately have to stop even if I just ate. So that’s what I did and came across Ceviches El Puerto.

Come to find out, this new trailer has been open for only three months.

As the name suggests, Ceviches El Puerto specializes in ceviche. The menu was simple and had just three items: ceviche de camaron, ceviche de bierra, and aguachile. All the dishes could be served in a bag of chips, on a tostada or in a cup.

Small cups were $10 and large cups were $15.

I went with a large cup of ceviche de camaron and a large cup of aguachile.

Everything came out fast and the couple who ran the truck were immensely nice; they had such a warm and caring vibe to them. I could tell they were appreciative that a customer stopped by on a Friday evening.

It was about a 15-minute drive home, and I was ready to grub some more. The aguachiles were easily my favorite part of the meal. There was a pleasant bit of heat in each bite, and it didn’t have an overly fishy taste like I’ve had with some others around town.

I was torn about the ceviche and think some of it had to do with the travel time. All the ceviche at the top of the cup dried out, perhaps from the drive but got better the deeper I got into the ceviche sitting at the bottom of the cup. I would have liked it to be a bit more acidic in flavor.

If I were to go again, I’d probably eat it on the spot. Ceviches El Puerto had a table in front of the truck for people to dine at. Plus the couple was so nice, I would love to show them some support again.
