Don Ceviche (Market)

"This Peruvian spot has rotisserie chickens spinning at all times, and that’s exactly what you should order. Get a half chicken combo over fries, greens, and avocado salad, or take home a  whole bird to make your weeknight meals easier. If you’re into ceviche, the mixto is worth ordering—it has calamari strips mixed in, and if you get your bowl spicy (which you should), the leche de tigre will clear up your sinuses. We love the large chunks of choclo corn, corn nuts, and soft sweet potatoes that help balance out the whole dish." - carlo mantuano, will hartman

"To fulfill all your Peruvian chicken needs in Lower Manhattan, head to Essex Market. This stall on the street level floor  has rotisserie chickens spinning behind the counter at all times, and that’s exactly what you should order. Get a half chicken combo over fries, with greens and avocado salad, or take home a  whole bird to make your weeknight meals easier. If you’re into ceviche, the mixto is also worth ordering—it has calamari strips mixed in, and if you get your bowl spicy (which you should), the leche de tigre will clear up your sinuses.

"One of our favorite places for a casual weeknight chicken dinner is also somewhere you can find excellent ceviche. This Essex Market vendor gives you the choice to get white fish or shrimp or both as proteins, and we recommend getting the mixto since choosing between those two seafoods is like to picking between Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing - it’s impossible. The mixto also has calamari strips mixed in, and if you get your bowl spicy (which you should), the leche de tigre will clear up your sinuses. We love the large chunks of choclo corn, corn nuts, and soft sweet potatoes that help balance out the whole thing." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, carlo mantuano

"“Mr. Ceviche” is a Peruvian counter founded by Lenin Costas in the Essex Market, turning out more Peruvian specialties in a small space than seems possible — and rotisserie chickens, too. The place offers a pair of ceviches, one a leche de tigre (”tiger’s milk”) — mixed seafood immersed in a sour broth that is intended to be drunk afterwards, said to have aphrodisiacal properties. The toasted corn called cancha adds crunch." - Robert Sietsema, Patty Diez
