The Best Mariscos Restaurants in LA

"Ceviche Project is where you go for date night mariscos. This intimate Silver Lake spot has a few tables, but we strongly suggest sitting at the bar where you can watch the chef-owner Octavio prepare ceviches and oyster platters in his slick white suit. The menu is filled with inventive flavor combinations like kanpachi with ponzu and sweet bursts of diced melon, a ”Mayan-style” octopus tostada drizzled with tangy burnt habanero salsa. Eating fish after fish at the bar feels a little like eating a romantic sushi dinner, except here you get to listen to a well-curated Latin playlist thrumming in the background." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, brant cox
