El Camello Jr.

Here you must try the ceviche. This is actually raw fish, but marinated in advance with lemon and lime juice. The acidity of the fruit creates a kind of cooking effect in the fish. So when you eat it, it’s not quite raw after all. But you definitely have a unique taste experience. Ceviche actually originated in Peru, but the dish has now spread throughout Latin America and you’ll get a different version of ceviche in every country. The Mexican one is one of the most delicious.
