    OUR STORY

    Ceviche Arigato was born out of a deep love for both Peruvian and Japanese cuisine. Its founder, Rosemary Maruyama, with a rich culinary heritage, decided to blend the flavors of her two cultures to create a unique dining experience.

    The heart of the restaurant lies in the family’s treasured recipes, passed down through three generations.


    By combining Peruvian and Japanese cooking techniques and ingredients, the restaurant offers a fusion of flavors that captivate diners. Dishes such as Ceviche Arigato and sushi with a Peruvian twist have become signature items that reflect the creativity and expertise of the culinary team.


    Over the past 10 years, the restaurant has become a beloved fixture in the community, attracting both food enthusiasts and those curious about fusion cuisine. The warm and inviting atmosphere, paired with exceptional food, has created a loyal following of customers who appreciate the restaurant’s commitment to quality and authenticity.

    Go-Kart and Track Information: 


    K1 Speed Riviera Beach is the authority when it comes to electric indoor go kart racing in West Palm Beach and the Riviera Beach, Westgate, Lake Park and Lake Worth area!


    Whether you’re a diehard racing enthusiast or are interested in trying authentic, European-style kart racing for the first time, a visit to K1 Speed is a must! Our facility provides a genuine racing experience that is great for novice and experienced drivers alike; our 20hp 100% emissions free electric racing karts can reach speeds approaching 45mph and our high-grip racing surface allows drivers to push the limit through high-speed corners! Needless to say, don’t be surprised if the adrenaline is flowing after your race! And we must warn you, speed can become addictive!


    At K1 Speed, our tracks are professionally designed to provide racers with an opportunity to hone their skills and feel the rush of head-to-head racing. With high-performance electric karts, a racing surface that allows drivers to maximize speed through corners, and fully air-conditioned facility, we believe that K1 Speed is the clear choice for indoor go kart racing in the West Palm Beach Municipal Area and we think that you’ll agree as soon as you turn your first lap!


    When you get behind the wheel of our go-karts, you’ll be racing on our professionally designed indoor karting track that features a dramatic elevated section! This means you won’t be driving a regular flat-level karting track, but one that goes uphill and downhill, providing a roller coaster-like experience for all racers! And the elevation’s not the only exciting aspect – our course has been designed to challenge both novices and experienced racers alike so that everyone feels like they’re being challenged!


    The K1 Speed Difference

    So what makes K1 Speed unique? Well, where do we start?! First off, every one of our locations, located throughout the United States from Southern California to Southern Florida, is entirely self-contained. Our indoor go-kart racing locations, including our Palm Beach location, allow individuals to race every day of the year, regardless of weather. Rain, snow, sleet, or blistering heat, driving enthusiasts can come to K1 Speed, escape the weather, and start racing!

     

    The other difference that sets K1 Speed apart from the competition, and the feature that we have grown and built our reputation on, is our use of 100-percent, all-electric karts. Forget about the lawn mower-powered go-karts of your youth. Our European-style electric karts are high-performance machines, producing tremendous torque and horsepower from advanced electric motors. These zero-emission karts outperform their gas-powered counterparts while being better for the environment, quieter, and arguably, easier to drive. With our karts, you don’t have to worry about stalling the engine or dropping out of the power band in a tight corner – our electric motors produce maximum torque at all speeds! Race wheel-to-wheel at speeds approaching 45 mph on an indoor track!


    Race Rules


    There will be two qualifying rounds consisting of 14 laps each. Your single fastest lap time from both qualifiers will be used to determine your position at the start of the final race.


    The final race will consist of a 16-lap race for position (14 laps in Carlsbad) and will begin as a grid standing start.


    There will only be ONE grid standing start! No restarts are allowed.


    If a racer causes an intentional or avoidable incident (crash, spin-out, etc.) that results in loss-of-position for the other driver, then the racer-at-fault is sent to the back of the grid. The innocent driver will resume the race from wherever they rejoined the field. (e.g.: if they were second and drop back to fifth as a result of the incident, they’ll continue in fifth position, not second).


    New drivers will be evenly distributed within qualifying groups.


    No equipment allowing driver-to-driver, or driver-to-spotter communication allowed.

    Known for its light, dry snow and minimal crowds, the resort provides uncrowded, perfectly maintained slopes for skiers to enjoy. With a rich history, exceptional snow conditions, and a charming après-ski scene in the Aran Valley, Baqueira is an unforgettable rush of adventure, beauty, and pure ski bliss!
