"Kensington’s Cantina La Martina has mastered two things: incredible tamales and seafood cured in citrus. There are eight ceviche options on the menu, including an excellent vegetarian option with hearts of palm, and the only build-your-own-aguachile in town. The best one, though, is the Peruvian ceviche mixto with white fish, tuna, crab, octopus, choclo, sweet potato, and a fruity aji amarillo. Bring a few friends, a few bottles (it’s a BYOB), and eat unbelievably refreshing bites of the ocean. " - alison kessler, candis mclean
