El Aguachile Restaurant - San Jose, California

The first time I tried El Aguachile, I had ordered it through Doordash and I had picked Mild since I wasn't familiar with their spice levels. Lo and behold, here I am again. Stuffing my face with their delicious food!

I was honestly hesitant on trying new seafood places for Aguachile because let's be real, Costa Alegre is 🔥.

I visited the restaurant today and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the Aguachile in Chile Chiltepin was. It had the right amount of spice that you could just keep eating..and of course, I HAD to get a Michelada here too..

Their only downfall is how loud the music is, I couldn't even hear the waitress speaking but she was actually very friendly with her interactions.

Definitely worth a shot!

A+++++ ceviche wow we ordered the Del Rio and Chipotle. The Del Rio is sweet, with lots of pineapple and mango. The Chipotle had a lovely smoky sour dressing. They don’t play around with seafood portions here. Can’t recommend it enough! Bf said it was his favorite meal since moving to the Bay. Total was low 30s per person because we ordered a modelo and michelada in addition to $18 plates per person

resh and dependable seafood is available. Every woman that has called me has been incredibly kind and courteous. The quality and value offered by this place is just unbeatable. Everything I have ordered, including campechanaa, aquachiles, ceviche, and botanas, has been perfectly prepared. Despite the restaurant's cramped and crowded corner location and relatively small lot, it's well worth the effort.

Huge portions and very delicious. Ask for salsa to go cups and get some of the dark salsas from a table. Delicious. Botanas and fish ceviche is my go to

Portion sizes are amazing and whoever decided to sprinkle sesame seeds on the avocado needs to be praised.

Fresh ceviche and extremely kind and understanding cashiers and the price is unbeatable with the amount they include! I come here almost every other day. I’m so glad we found El Aguachile on Jackson st. Because we tried three other local spots been charged a lot more for 1/4 the amount and quality that this restaurant provides. Thank you Aguachile you give me a nourishing experience and understanding of the coast! Plus the one plate that we get $27 which is a lot and is actually filled with shrimp octopus and fish (not watered down) last us two days.

Friendly service, amazing and fresh platters, and the house squeezed fruit juices are delectable.

Seafood always fresh and consistent. The ladies who have rung me up have all been very nice and polite. You really can't beat the quality and value from here. Literally all aquachiles, ceviche, botanas, and campechanaa I've ordered have been on point. It's really a tiny place so we usually do take out and eat at home. The lot is pretty small and the corner the restaurant sits in is kinda busy and awkwardly spaced but all worth it.
