I am quite picky when it comes to food, and when I saw this recipe I was a little skeptical, but I said "what the heck" and gave it a shot, and to my amazement it was WONDERFUL!... absolutely loved it! I did add a little more lime and some garlic salt to taste, but that was it. My husband and I did not stop eating until it was all gone! Give it a shot, you'll love it! -
This was good and easy to make. It was ready before my wife got home so I put it in the fridge for about 20 minutes, it taste better at room temperature. I also think I cut up the avocado too small, bigger chunks would have made them more noticeable I think. Overall it was very good, wife loved it -
Excellent - took this to a dinner party as an appetizer & all wanted the recipe. Everyone commented on how fresh it tasted. Made it up couple of hours ahead and it was very good. Served on crackers instead of tortillas -
This was light, refreshing and easy to make. We enjoyed for dinner last night. Looking forward to having it during the summer. Served with sofie-a-toast's latin rice salad. Thanks! -
Amazing. Other Ceviche recipes I have tried have been rather bland or simple, this was perfect. Can serve 6 as an appetizer!

I halved the recipe, left out the cilantro and added cumin instead. I served it as an appetizer in baked wonton cups. Yummy! Very fresh and summery tasting.
