Seafood tostadas from Mariscos El Barba Negra

Ceviche & aguachile: Ceviche combines seafood with citrus juice and ingredients such as onion, chile, cilantro and tomato. Recipes vary throughout Mexico's coastal regions. The acid changes the texture and appearance of raw seafood, but it does not make raw seafood microbiologically equivalent to cooking it with heat. Aguachile, particularly associated with Sinaloa, is commonly made from raw shrimp dressed shortly before serving with lime, fresh chiles, cucumber and red onion. It can be seriously hot. Cóctel de camarón is a shrimp cocktail commonly served in a tomato-based sauce, while campechana usually combines several kinds of seafood. On this menu as: Ceviches & Tostadas · Ceviche de Pescado · Ceviche de Camaron.
Tostadas: Corn tortillas cooked or fried until crisp and used as a flat base for toppings. Beans, shredded meat, tinga, ceviche, seafood, lettuce, crema, cheese and salsa are all common possibilities. Unlike a folded taco, a tostada stays open-faced. Eat it with your hands and accept the crumbs. On this menu as: Ceviches & Tostadas.
Baja fish tacos: The classic Ensenada-style fish taco pairs battered and fried fish with a corn tortilla, shredded cabbage, creamy sauce, salsa and lime. The style is strongly associated with Baja California and has had an enormous influence on Southern California taco culture. Menus may also offer grilled fish or similarly prepared shrimp tacos. On this menu as: Ceviche de Pescado.
Fajitas: Grilled strips of meat served with tortillas and accompaniments, often arriving at U.S. restaurants on a dramatically sizzling metal platter with onions and peppers. Fajitas developed in the ranching and border culture of Texas and northern Mexico and became a Tex-Mex restaurant staple. The name comes from faja, referring to the strip or belt-like cut associated with skirt steak. Chicken, shrimp and other versions are now common. Alambre is a different Mexican dish that may scratch a similar itch: chopped grilled meat with peppers and onions, often with bacon and melted cheese. On this menu as: Fajitas De Camaron.
A la diabla, al mojo de ajo & other seafood styles: Several phrases recur throughout the seafood section of Mexican menus. A la diabla means "devil-style" and usually signals a spicy red chile sauce. Al mojo de ajo emphasizes garlic, commonly cooked with butter or oil. Al ajillo also centers on garlic, often paired with dried chile. A la veracruzana refers to the Veracruz style of preparing fish in a tomato-based sauce influenced by Spanish Mediterranean cooking, commonly including olives and capers. Exact recipes and heat levels vary by restaurant. On this menu as: Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo.
Dried chiles: ancho, guajillo, árbol & chipotle: Dried chiles provide much of the flavor behind Mexican adobos, moles, marinades and red sauces. Ancho is a dried ripe poblano, usually mild with dark fruit-like flavors. Guajillo is bright, fruity and moderately hot. Pasilla is dark and earthy. Chile de árbol is small, thin and considerably hotter. Chipotle is a smoked and dried ripe jalapeño, commonly sold dried or canned in adobo. Adobo is not one specific sauce. The word is used for seasoned marinades and sauces whose ingredients vary by cuisine and recipe. On this menu as: Camarones Al Chipotle.
