Part 3: A Little Ceviche History

Did you know the lime juice is what "cooks" the shrimp in ceviche?

As Chef Fernando Ruiz continues building our signature Shrimp Ceviche, he shares how this iconic dish originated in Peru before traveling up the Pacific coast and becoming a staple of Mexican coastal cuisine.

Fresh seafood, citrus, and generations of tradition come together in every bite.

Part 4 coming soon.

Part 2 of our conversation with Chef Fernando Ruiz 🙌

As Chef continues preparing our signature Shrimp Ceviche, he shares something even more important than what's on the menu.

At Escondido, we believe in second chances.✨ From the kitchen to the front of house, Chef Fernando has created opportunities for people looking to rebuild their lives through meaningful work, mentorship, and a supportive team. Many of our staff have been given a fresh start and a place to grow, learn, and succeed through chef's mentorship program.

Because great restaurants aren't built by recipes alone. They're built by people.

Stay tuned for Part 3 as the ceviche continues to come together. 👀
