3 /5 Jesus Huerta: Have you ever wondered what a glorified snowcone stand that doesnt sell snowcones looks like? Look no further than Ceviche 76.
The store is located in a clean strip mall along Trenton Road. Parking is reasonable but can be a challenge for a large truck. The store itself is spacious and comfortably furnished and has a good ambiance. The restrooms are spacious and well maintained. Service was outstanding during my visit.
The food menu is colorful and beautiful but overwhelming and requires an explanation for the ingredients in most of the selections.
We ordered the Botana 76 at $38 and two draft beers in plastic cups at a mind numbing $9 per glass. We also ordered a glass of water but were brought bottled water at $2 instead. When we asked for a glass of water, we were told the faucet wasnt working. This was a disappointment. I dont blame the wait staff for this one.
Before our meal arrived, the wait staff brought some spicy mayonnaise dips as well as packages of crispy corn tortillas and packaged saltine crackers.
The Botana 76 was gorgeous and fresh looking. It was spicy and delicious. The beer was a little watered down and became warm quickly, but the entire meal was plentiful and filling.
The restaurant forcing us to purchase water by claiming the water faucet was inoperative is disappointing because the claim was obviously untrue.
Although we make it a rule to visit a restaurant at least three times before rating, due to the water incident, we will not be back.
Ceviche 76 has outstanding food and service, so-so beer, but great service. However, it is not an affordable place to eat. Ill leave this place for the well to do.
