If you’ve never tried Amen Street’s ceviche, we suggest you put it on your “must do” list right away. Not only was it voted "Best Cerviche" in the Charleston City Paper's "Best of Charleston 2012" but it is the perfect Charleston springtime weather treat. Whether you are visiting Charleston or are a local, ceviche has the power to transport you to a vacation state-of-mind…one of those great vacations that include sunshine, light breezes and not a care in the world. Yes, it’s really that good!
Amen Street’s ceviche is served chilled with fresh shrimp marinated in citrus, lime and fresh cilantro. It is light and refreshing with each distinct flavor perfectly popping with every bite. Served over a bed of greens with house-fried tortilla strips for scooping, their ceviche is a great choice for lunch or as an appetizer before dinner. The generous portion makes it easy to share, but once you’ve taste it, we’re pretty confident you will want it all to yourself.
