Our house favorite, aguachiles dish. Is made with serrano peppers and lots of yummy freshness. Perfect for a hot river day!

This is hands down the best tasting Ceviche around the whole valley!!!. Everything is hand cut right as you order. You BETTER BE PATIENT!!! because everything is finely chopped and sliced & mixed together as you order. Nothing is pre-made and just about everything is excellent & seasoned with Love

I've enjoyed every meal at Kern River Ceviche. Pride in food and service shines throughout the experience. Check the website for limited hours (Thr-Sun?) during the winter season.

First time here (6/21/2024). Stopped in for a late lunch, and am SO glad we did! Cute space, seating indoors or outside on a covered patio and it's clean! Service was friendly and helpful. It isn't fast food because they cook your meal to order (and the Mahi burrito had to be cooked) so don't come in if you're rushed. The shrimp in the cocktail and fish in the burrito were very fresh and well prepared. Generous protein portions, and the prices are fair. They have SO many unique and interesting hot sauces available, and the freshly made aguas frescas are so refreshing! We had the guava.. I'll definitely be back to try the mango and others. Next time I'll also be ordering the Fisherman's ceviche! For the non-seafood lovers, the carne asada smelled amazing! But how could I pass on the shrimp and fish? If you haven't tried them yet, what are you waiting for? Our friend Daniel (a well pedigreed chef) recommended them to us, and they did not disappoint.

We took a day trip to Lake Isabella to try this little spot. There isn't a lot of indoor seating, but we were comfy enough. We started with the chips and guacamole. The chips were a little too thick for my taste, but the guac was really good so I ate them anyway. We tried the pork belly tacos, which had a great salsa verde and cabbage over smokey pork belly, with just the perfect amount of onion and cilantro. One of the specials was Fisherman's Ceviche. There were 2 kinds of fish (I forgot what kind) and shrimp, fresh green avocado, little bits of onion, cilantro. It was very fresh and bright. I'd recommend it.

We came to town for a nice getaway for our anniversary and we were so glad we stopped in town for food! We ordered a Salmon Harvest Bowl, Protein Mahi Mahi Bowl, Tuna Sashimi, and two mango agua frescas. Everything was AMAZING!!! The one small heads up is it is pricier, but the quality of food was 100% worth it!

Great Menu, Amazing food, good quality and friendly staff. Will definitely return on my next trip to Kernville!Had the Ceviche twice, as well as their wholesome bowl? Can't remember the name but it had Cilantro Lime Rice, assorted veggies, choice of protein, lettuce with balsamic, and it was absolutely incredible. Not posted on their website for some reason. But that was by far the best bowl i've ever had. Ceviche and that bowl!

Stop what you're doing!Make the drive, and come here AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.Ya'll, I could not rant and rave about this business more! You need to come and taste yourself, from the seafood connoisseur herself, you will NOT regret it.I called ahead on Saturday 12/16/23 just to make sure times on the website were accurate (with holidays and such). I spoke with Karla and let her know we were coming from Bakersfield. She was the absolute sweetest! They are open Tuesday-Saturday 11:00AM-6:00PM, but last call for food is 5:45PM because everything is made fresh to order.Cleanliness: 10/10.All tables were spotless, and bathrooms were stocked with all the goods. They have an outdoor patio, and not one single thing was left dirty! They take pride in being on top of their game.Food: 10/10 I ordered the Aguachille tostada, Camaron tostada (spicy), fresh cod taco, and their surf and turf taco. Chips and freshly made guacamole and salsa. My mouth is watering, even thinking about it again.When I say their shrimp are HUGE, plump and fresh, believe it because they come from Argentina! Everything was perfectly spiced, sauced, and the presentation.... look at my pictures again. They truly speak for themselves.This business is family owned and operated, and you can see how much love goes into their work. I want to thank Karla for being one of the most kind, humble, but most deserving business owners. I was able to speak with her about her and her husbands dream and hard work going into opening, the perfect addition to Lake Isabella! Another big thank you to her mother in law for her delicious recipes and Angel, who is their chef who took time to serve our dishes personally. Good food takes time, and quality and passion definitely shined through.Outdoor: They had a speaker with all the jams and had cornhole for those who wanted to play. The most beautiful views as well! Clean picnic style tables. When the sun is setting they have gorgeous tealights on! This is going to be an every other weekend spot for me. It's worth the drive, the views, the hospitality, and the most delicious, fresh seafood I've ever had.1000/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND
