La Corriente Cevicheria Nais, México

We visited Cevicheria La Mas Nais in El Centro for lunch just after they opened on a Sunday afternoon. They have an outdoor patio as well as an inside dining room available and we chose to sit inside. The hostess was pleasant and walked us over to a booth with comfortable padded seats over wooden benches. We were greeted promptly by the waiter who brought over complimentary chips and a variety of salsas along with a little cup of consomé. He gave us a few minutes to look over the drink menu and then returned to take our order. The inside of the restaurant is quite unique with interesting lighting fixtures (different over each table) and chandeliers throughout the dining room. There is also a disco ball which I assume is for later at night on weekends but I didn’t confirm. There was some mellow music playing at a comfortable level for conversations to occur. For drinks we ordered a Cucumber Martini and a Tamarrico. I absolutely loved the Cucumber Martini for its refreshing flavor on a summer day and my partner enjoyed the Tamarrico that is made with a smoky Mezcal. We also ordered an appetizer of Camarones Roca. The Camarones Roca was tasty and fresh and pairs well with the spicy mayo salsa they provide you. For our main courses we decided to split the Tuna Steak and an order of 2 Tacos Árabes de Camarón. The tacos have onion, cilantro cheese and shrimp in a flour tortilla. Honestly they were the best bite of the entire experience albeit they were a bit small for the price. The Tuna Steak was well presented attractively with a side of rice and was plated on top of some fresh vegetables. There were also caramelized onions on top. Unfortunately while the taste was on point we found the steak to be a bit more chewy than we had expected which indicated it may have been a little bit overcooked. It wasn’t so bad that we would send it back but if you decide to order this be sure to inform them not to overcook the steak. There were plenty of servers available to help and they were prompt in clearing plates as you finished. We would definitely recommend giving this place a shot. I only mark the food down one star because of the chewiness. Parking is available in a secure paid parking lot in back of the restaurant.
