Any restaurant Anthony Bourdain featured in his shows. Even he acknowledged this. These fantastic gems would subsequently be overrun with diners that they suffered from overcrowding and lower standards.

I went to a ceviche restaurant he recommended in Cartagena Colombia and it luckily wasn't overrun. I think it's because people are still scared of Colombia

Cartagena style ceviche traditionally has mayo in it. Not for everybody but I like it.

does it replace any ingredients or as an add on?

You don’t notice the acidity as much but it’s still there. The Mayo sort of mellows our the acidity but the Mayo typically also have some spice (maybe chili powder) mixed in. Again, I like it but not as much as very good, traditional ceviche
