Excellent food; loved the Cevi Panchos, the Seafood Soup, and the rice with vegetables – all were delicious! Bright and spacious inside with plenty of tables and seating; several tvs with sports and music videos playing. Lots of drink selections – including soft drinks and beer. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Left very happy and satisfied.

Been there several times and love the shrimp tostadas and now they added the fried shrimp tacos and are really good! The fish ceviche is my son’s and wife’s favorite, best in Brownsville.

The location is great because it’s right off the expressway, everything that’s on a frontage road is easy to get to. The service was also great. I read the reviews before placing an order and I’m pretty sure the negative ones are from competitors or haters because my vuelve a la vida and cóctel de camarón were perfect!! A lot of coctelerías typically serve baby/tiny shrimp, this place isn’t one of them. Their shrimp is big, and it does not taste frozen. The seafood overall was fresh. Some people complained about the sauce not having enough flavor, and I am legitimately confused because I’ve had cocteles since I was practically a baby and I thought these tasted pretty dang good. The location is clean and super cute, overall super positive experience, I will continue ordering from cevichela 100%.

What is ceviche without limon? They basically boil their meats and expect for you to add your own flavor to it. If you want a real seafood restaurant go to El terco In McAllen or Levanta Muertos in Brownsville they do add flavor to their food. And by the way they take forever to just bring you the menu , they don’t even take your order or drinks at that moment, then you order and they take long for a ceviche that doesn’t even have flavor! It’s just as bland as the water they are boiling it in. 0 stars if possible , they can do a way better job. The only thing that was good were the beers.

Mom & I had the plate of shrimp wraps, tasty, and shrimp boiled well. Only problem was too much juice so we had to eat some of it with fork first then wrapped the rest.

I really enjoy the Vuelva de Vida which is a cocktail mix of shrimp, octopus, squid, and oyster. The aguachile verde and rojo are good also. I enjoy the atmosphere.

The micheladas are delicious but the aguachile was too lemony and not spicy at all.
