Fresh shrimp
Marinated to order, never ahead. That is why the smell arrives before the cup does.

About us
We are a neighbourhood cevichería that was born in Comuna 13 and became a name in Medellín, one well-made shrimp ceviche at a time.
The story
From one spot in San Javier to the whole city.
La Casa del Camarón opened in 2021 in San Javier, on Carrera 101. The recipe was simple: fresh shrimp, house pink sauce, lime, cilantro and red onion, served in cups by the ounce so everyone could order exactly what they wanted to eat.
Over the years came the Choclicamarón, now our signature dish; the gratin seafood cazuela; the shrimp sandwich; a location in Envigado; a three-wheeled food cart that takes the flavour to other neighbourhoods; and a community that follows us online and fills the place every Saturday.

What never changes
Three things we care about in every cup.
House sauces
The pink and the red are ours. They are why the ceviche tastes like La Casa del Camarón.
Neighbourhood
We were born in Comuna 13 and we are still there. The food cart exists to reach people where they are.
Who has visited
They come to taste and stay to film.
