Fin and Lime Brings Build-Your-Own Ceviche to Mission Valley | Eater San Diego

"Applying a fast-casual, assembly-line model to Mexican seafood, I found that Fin + Lime in Mission Valley—developed by the owners of Grater Grilled Cheese and Grater Greens—operates as a counter-service restaurant with stations where diners customize mostly Mexican seafood dishes. At the cold counter the build-your-own ceviche starts with a tostada or chips and your choice of seafood, including octopus, shrimp, and fish, or an alternative like hearts of palm; you can add vegetables such as jicama, cucumber, onion, or sweet potato and dress the mix with sauces ranging from mango habanero to green or red aguachile-style seasonings, with toppings like corn, chickpeas, or edamame. The hot bar lets you customize burritos, bowls, and tacos with seafood preparations such as shrimp gobernador with sautéed poblanos, onions, and tomatoes, fish in a red chile sauce, or simply grilled fish or shrimp, and additional sauces include cilantro-lime, chipotle, and sriracha ketchup. The menu also includes fish and chips, fried calamari, Mexican shrimp soup, and churro fries, and the restaurant is open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m." - Candice Woo
