Cevicheria El Chino

Top choice in Caribbean Coast


Don't leave Bluefields without trying El Chino's marvelous ceviche, prepared fresh every day and served in small polystyrene cups, alongside an array of auto parts at this unremarkable grocery shop. Choose from shrimp, fish, oyster or mixed and watch out for the outrageously spicy homemade 'Ass in Space' chili sauce – made with pounds of habanero chilies.

It's the only store on the block in front of the Baptist School.
