Kern River Ceviche Co.

Nestled on Highway 155 in the heart of Lake Isabella, Kern River Ceviche Company brings the flavors of the sea to the Kern River Valley. This family‑owned eatery opens its doors Thursday through Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm, offering a relaxed indoor dining room with nautical décor, reclaimed wood tables and bright citrus accents that echo the fresh marinades on the menu. The star of the house is the Shrimp Ceviche, wild‑caught Argentinian shrimp tossed with cucumber, tomato, red onion, cilantro, radish and a house‑made citrus‑spice sauce for $15. For adventurous palates, the Aguachiles, a fiery blend of red shrimp, onions, cucumbers and serrano peppers, delivers a perfect kick at $18. Taco lovers can enjoy the Surf & Turf taco – skirt steak, shrimp, purple cabbage and a lime‑cilantro sauce – for just $8, while the classic carne asada taco stays a budget favorite at $5. Complement your meal with Agua Fresca in watermelon or pineapple for $5, or a traditional horchata for $5, both served over ice. All ingredients are sourced from local farmers and vendors, guaranteeing seasonal freshness. Take‑out and delivery are available through the online ordering portal, and the restaurant also offers catering for outdoor gatherings in the valley. Whether you’re camping by the river, strolling through downtown Lake Isabella, or simply craving a healthy Mexican‑style bite, Kern River Ceviche Company promises vibrant flavors, friendly service and a community‑focused atmosphere.
