Anthony Bourdain -- RIP, a moment of respect and silence please -- was right on about this cart! When you see locals lining up to eat here, you know it's going to be good authentic eats.
Ordering was easy with all the pictures and large menu. There were so many different ceviches to choose from, some combinations of seafood I didn't even know existed as an option for ceviche. Nice thing is that food and enjoyment comes first. You order and eat, no worries about paying until after you're done.
The ceviches were so fresh and loaded on top of crispy tostadas, generously covered with slices of avocado. Each had a perfect balance of salty sweetness from the fresh seafood and hints of refreshing sourness from the lime juice. Top it with one of their 20 different hot sauce and salsas and it's the perfect bite each time.
There are no tables or seating, only a bench by the wall. People were enjoying themselves standing around the cart, socializing and enjoying these tasty snacks. After 3 tostadas though, they will fill you up.
Champana 5/5*
5 out of 5 stars, even though this was one of the more bland and pricier tostadas that we tried. The chunks of various seafood were huge and tasted fresh, with some having a nice chewy bite to it. Nice, if you prefer just the fresh seafood flavor and nothing else.
Mixto 5/5*
The chunks were smaller cuts, but had more flavor. Pair it with a spicy salsa and this is my go-to. My favorite out of the three.
Sea Urchin & Clam 5/5*
I've never seen sea urchin mix on tostada before and had to try this. If you like sea urchin and the briny, salty fishiness flavors of the sea, this one is for you! The urchin gave this one a creamy mouthful, offset with the juicyness of clams, and the crunch of the tostada. One of my favorites also.
When Bourdain showcases something, you have to go there. That man knows good food and this place doesn't disappoint. There are tons of eateries along this tourist-trap street, but do yourself a favor and skip those spots. I know it's hard when they're throwing out $1 fish tacos or free shots, but don't be like bees in the trap, keep buzzing along to this cart. Cheap AND delicious!
