Service was a bit slow with DoorDash. I arrived at the time my order was supposed to be ready but it hadn't been started. That's all the issues I faced. Food was delicious and fresh. The chicha was refreshing. Can't wait to go back soon!
I tried the festival causas and each one was very flavorful. I would love to come back and try other items here.
The ceviche here is truly top notch. I've tried so many places around the Bay and so many have been overpriced and didn't taste as good as this place. Portions are also generous. Wouldn't come here for a fancy date but def for casual eating. Service is nice and friendly.
As a half-Peruvian having tried EVERY restaurant in the city, this is the absolute best. Market vibe & delicious food (leche de Tigre & seco de Cordero both delic')
Food envy. Last time when I was eating lunch at MEDA (Mission Economic Development Agency), I saw some guys devouring food from Ceviche 19. And, it looked bomb. So bomb...that *DROOL* dribbled down from the corner of my mouth. I didn't want to be a heffer ordering a second lunch so I made a mental note to return. Four months later and still no Yelp listing for Ceviche 19?! But, they seem to be fav among locals in The Mission. Several regulars just sat down without going to the counter to order, and the owner/chef brought them food. Ceviche 19 is a Peruvian Food Stall located inside MEDA - Plaza Adelante. They're open for takeout, dine-in, and delivery (DoorDash). They're also two other food stalls in the lobby area (El Corazón Cafe and a Torta + Juice Stall). Hours of Operation: Sign outside says, Monday - Saturday, 10:30 AM - 6 PM. Menu says, Monday - Saturday, 11 AM - 6 PM. DoorDash says, Monday, Wednesday - Saturday, 11:30 AM - 6:10 PM. I arrived at 11:30 AM but they didn't open until 11:45 AM so def call ahead of time if you have time constraints. M E N U Peruvian Cuisine - Causa: Layered potato casserole ($10.99-$23.99), Ceviche ($14.99-$21.99), and Lunch Specials; e.g. Seco de Cordero: Lamb Shank w/ rice, Tallarin con Pollo: Spaghetti w/ chicken, etc. ($23.99-$39.99). Cc's accepted. O R D E R I N G For dine-in, place your order at the counter and they'll bring your order to you. Pay after you're done eating. F O O D * Seco de Cordero: Lamb Shank w/ rice, beans, and salsa criolla (Menu - $23.99/POS system - $22.99): https://tinyurl.com/2p9ec78c First, can we appreciate the presentation/plating from this tiny food stall? When I'm craving Peruvian comfort food this is IT... The braised lamb shank was rich, flavorful, and fork tender. Served over a bed of stewed buttery peruano beans (canary beans) and arroz chaufa (Peruvian fried rice). The herbs from the fried rice (cumin and oregano?) complemented the lamb. The Peruvian red onion and pepper relish (salsa criolla) was punchy and acidic, helping to cut through the meatiness. The owner/chef asked if I like it hot...yes please! He brought over an aji and habanero (?) based hot sauce that was fruity, acidic, and packed heat. So good. S E R V I C E All business. Food takes some time to prepare so allot at least 20 minutes. A M B I A N C E Micro food hall on the ground level of MEDA. Shared seating - there's about 7-8 tables and some window counter seating. They've removed the outdoor seating. P A R K I N G Challenging metered street parking. Nearest garage is on 21st/Bartlett (1.5 blocks away). Overall, Ceviche 19 is hidden gem in The Mission serving up awesome restaurant quality food from an unassuming food stall. If you're in the area and craving Peruvian food, def worth hitting up this small local business!
