The Trio Ceviche Sampler at La Playa brings together tuna in a dark, seasoned marinade, shrimp in a mango habanero mix, and white fish in a green salsa-based citrus cure, each presented separately so you can taste the differences.[14] This sampler is distinctive because it shows off three house ceviche recipes at once, highlighting how the kitchen plays with heat, sweetness, and herbaceous notes on the same base of marinated seafood.[14] As you eat through the plate, you move from silky tuna to snappy shrimp to delicate white fish, with the chilled seafood contrasted by crunch from chips or tostadas and the occasional hit of chile.[14] Coverage in local food media has pointed to this dish as a defining appetizer for La Playa, often noting its playful presentation and how it demonstrates the range of the seafood program.[14]
