Ceviche is one of the most representative and beloved dishes of Latin American cuisine. Its freshness, lightness, and burst of flavor make it an ideal choice for those seeking a refreshing lunch or those looking to start a special dinner with a gourmet touch. But what makes a ceviche truly perfect? At Plaza Azteca in Bethesda, we have the answer, and today we want to share with you the secrets behind this iconic dish.
The key is fresh ingredients.
A good ceviche starts with the highest quality products. Seafood must be fresh and carefully selected to ensure not only exceptional flavor but also food safety. At Plaza Azteca, we work with reliable suppliers that allow us to offer shrimp, fish, and seafood mixes that meet the highest standards of freshness.
In addition, citrus fruits play a crucial role. The lemon or lime juice should be freshly squeezed to provide that vibrant acidity that “cooks” the fish and balances each bite.
Preparation Technique: The Perfect Balance
The magic of ceviche lies not only in the ingredients, but also in the technique. The fish or seafood must be cut into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly with the citrus fruits. Marinating time is crucial: too short and the flavors won’t blend; too long and the fish’s texture can be lost.
At Plaza Azteca, we respect this delicate balance. We marinate just enough to concentrate the flavors, without losing the freshness and smoothness that characterize a good ceviche.
The Latin Touch That Sets It Apart
Each country in Latin America has its own version of ceviche. Some prepare it with more citrus flavors, others with more heat, and in some cases, local ingredients such as corn, sweet potato, or avocado are incorporated. At Plaza Azteca, we’ve designed a ceviche that pays homage to this diversity, but with a unique style: fresh ingredients, authentic seasoning, and a presentation that reflects haute Mexican and Latin cuisine.
It’s this balance of tradition and creativity that makes our ceviche stand out in Bethesda.
