Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Mark your calendars for Sunday, January 26, as Puerto Vallarta’s popular Ceviche and Aguachile Festival celebrates its tenth anniversary in Hidalgo Park. From 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm, this extraordinary culinary event invites seafood lovers to indulge in the freshest ceviches and the boldest aguachiles, all crafted by top local chefs.
Ceviche, a coastal favorite made with fresh fish or shrimp “cooked” in lime juice mixed with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and cilantro, is a cornerstone of Puerto Vallarta’s culinary scene. Served on crispy tostadas, it’s a dish that’s both simple and endlessly customizable, allowing diners to add extra lime or spicy salsas to suit their taste.
Aguachile, a distinctly Mexican dish, brings the heat with its bold blend of chiles and water, adding a spicy kick to fresh shrimp. The classic recipe combines raw shrimp, cucumber, red onion, lime juice, and serrano or jalapeño chiles. Typically served with avocado, tostadas, beer, and tequila, it’s a flavorful feast.
This 17th edition of the festival promises a flavorful experience. Seafood restaurants from across Puerto Vallarta will showcase their signature dishes, accompanied by craft beer, local drinks, and pastries. Live music and entertainment will keep the energy lively, while a contest judged by guest chefs will crown the top three ceviche and aguachile recipes.
