Is Ceviche Popular in Mexico? Not Traditionally

Ceviche is not a traditional or widely consumed dish in Mexico.

• Origin: Peru (pre-Inca, Moche culture). National dish of Peru.
• Regional Popularity: Ecuador, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, Caribbean.
• Mexico's Raw Fish Dishes: Aguachile (Sinaloa/Nayarit — shrimp in lime, chile, cucumber, onion), Tiradito (Nikkei/Peruvian-Japanese influence), Coctel de Camarón (cooked shrimp cocktail).
