Comparing Ceviche across three restaurants — an honest verdict

I ate Ceviche at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of culantro varied significantly — only one got it right. The fresh and citrusy profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely.

llapingachos potato cakes are a highland staple tied to Andean agricultural tradition. The best version came from a Guayaquil ceviche bar, which felt authentic. Club beer was offered at all three but only one knew how to serve it properly. The gap between mediocre and excellent Ceviche is larger than you'd think.
