Our journey in the United States began with a small business named VeryFresh Snacks, operating from a modest 350-square-foot space in Tomball, Texas. In the summer of 2019, we introduced our signature seafood dish: ceviche.
This milestone marked a turning point, leading us to rebrand as VeryFresh – Ceviches n’ Snacks later that year. By October 2020, the enthusiastic support of our customers and the demand for a larger space at our original location inspired a transformation. We relocated to a larger venue and embraced a name that better captured our passion for fresh seafood. With ceviche as our hallmark, CEVICHE-RIA was born.
Ceviche-Ria specializes in serving made-to-order seafood, delivering a fast-food-style dining experience with a fresh, superior product. Our menu showcases a wide array of seafood, including fish, shrimp, octopus, tuna, and salmon, combined with crisp vegetables and marinated in lime juice and spices. Each dish is crafted with creative variations to delight every palate. To complete the unique dining experience, we also offer freshly prepared fruit and regional beverages.
After 7 successful years and 4 locations, we’re excited to continue our growth through franchise offerings.
US consumers love fast food, driving a $406. 17 billion market in 2024. But even in quick serve settings, customers are prioritizing quality, flocking to food service establishments that offer fresh and creative cuisine.
