"Got my food to-go. Got 2 soups and one was supposed to have less types of seafood in it, but they did it on both. Was eating the fish from the soup and there was a FISH BONE! Don’t recommend this location.. I’ll stick to the Alton Gloor location."

"Cevi Chelas is an absolute gem! Their ceviche is hands down the best in town, offering a truly authentic flavor of the tropics. The marriage of essential ingredients in their lemon-marinated ceviche and fresh ocean-caught botanas is a culinary delight. The ice-cold Micheladas are a refreshing accompaniment, with a fantastic selection to choose from. The friendly and accommodating atmosphere adds to the overall experience. From different styles of ceviches to homemade Michelada mixes and cocktail sauces, everything is crafted from scratch on-site. If you're looking for the real deal, Cevi Chelas is the place to be!"
