about

 When Lenin Costas was 11 years old he began to help his Abuela Adela at her restaurant in Lima, Peru. That’s where Lenin first learned to make traditional Peruvian ceviche, a skill he would take with him when he moved to New York City at age 16. After starting as a dishwasher, Lenin worked hard to become a top server and manager at a number of restaurants, and in 2017 he decided to use what he learned from his abuela to launch Don Ceviche. 

Starting out serving at the Queens Night Market, in 2019 Don Ceviche found a permanent home at Essex Market. Now his menu has expanded to include traditional Peruvian rotisserie chicken and green sauce, fried rice platters, and so much more.
