    Shrimp
    Lianne P.

    Everything was so good. The best bites were the tostados, the octopus and the shrimp.

    Found this place for dinner on our trip as we were searching for seafood. Very excited to discover this was Michelin recommended. The service was incredible as all the servers were friendly and lively even though it was close to closing time. They offered an English menu which was helpful as well as providing their recommended dishes. Every dish we got was so unique and tasty. We were sampling each one and it got better with every bite! Definitely recommend this place and would love to come back!

    Tuna Sashimi

    One of my favorite meals I had during my 8 day trip in CDMX! Came on a Saturday night and waited about 45 minutes (recommend making a reservation during the weekend). The inside was very nice too! The food was delicious! I still can't decide what was my favorite from the night, everything tasted amazing!

    Toro and Tuna Tostada
    Prasath S.

    Had a nice dinner at Campobaja. The vibe is chill and seafood heavy. The Tuna Tostada was very tasty, the Toro tostada while very generous when it came to the tuna belly just felt like an unbalanced dish with the richness of the toro overtaking the dish. The aguachile was just alright, definitely had better. The dish that was the highlight for me was the calamari and garlic with the bread. It's a dish that I've never had before the play on calamari to make it seem like pasta is brilliant and that whole clove of garlic to ooze into the toast was just delightful.

    This restaurant is recommended by the Michelin Guide for a good reason. They serve fresh, high quality seafood. Atmosphere is vibrant with friendly and attentive staff. We started with a few oysters and aguachile. For the mains - sashimi platter (so delicate), sautéed squid and black rice. Everything was so tasty! The most unique dish was the sautéed squid. The sauce base were peanuts which i've never had before. Favorite is the black rice - i'm always drawn to any squid ink dish. Definitely recommend dining here when you're in Mexico City!

    I walked in on a Wednesday night for a solo dinner. I was seated immediately. My friend recommended this place and I saw it featured recently. The food came out quickly. Overall the flavors weren't impressive but the portions and seafood quality were good. I got the aguachile de curry verde, tostada de atún, and tostada de pulpo. I didn't really taste the curry in the aguachile, and I prefer the seafood to be firmer after curing. The sourness was also a bit overpowering. The mezcal margarita was smooth. Server spoke English.

    Elite grade seafood. I highly recommend the aguachiles and the tostadas. We also tried the fish taco and squid ink risotto but those weren't as good imo.

    Amazing seafood at Campobaja - everything was super fresh. Highlight was the whole lobster which they cooked to perfection. Service was great and efficient. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

    Extremely terrible experience here. The men waiters were all extremely kind but the one waitress was super rude and ruined our vibes of our entire meal (scoffing, glaring at us, wiping the table while we were there and onto my sunglasses, snapping at us, moving our things). Disclaimer - I feel like we usually don't care about service but I don't think the food outweighed the unpleasant server. Don't think we've ever experienced this level of service -- my family kept trying to smile and be kind to her in case she was having a bad day, but surprising that she works at a Michelin star place? The tostadas were good but the burrito was ass. Not sure if it was worth the experience. The manager was quite kind though when he told us about it but were surprised at her callousness, especially given the Michelin level this establishment should be at? Not worth your money, especially given that all the many other restaurants we went to have great food and kind servers. * Disclaimer that I speak fluent Spanish *

    Service and food was excellent! We arrived close to closing time so there was no wait. Plenty of seating. Our waiter helped make drink recommendations and answered any questions we had. I couldn't get over how good the flaquita was! So good we ordered one to go as well. Everything was delicious. The fish was fresh. We stumbled upon the place and I can't wait to come back after reading other reviews!

    I had the best meal in CDMX at Campobaja. Loved it to much that I went back on the last day of my trip! Arroz negro (6/5) this may be the best risotto type dish that I've ever had. It was sooooo good. It makes me sad that I won't be able to eat it again until I go back to Mexico City, that's how good it is. Tuna Tostada (5/5) a perfect balance of flavors!! Must try! Oysters (4/5) - oyster itself was so fresh and delicious but the sauce was salty. Shrimp (3.5/5) - nothing special, not bad but not as good as other dishes I tried here. Stone claws (2.5/5) - portion was too small considering the price. Meat was a bit dry I'll be recommending this place to anyone I know whos going to Mexico City in the future

    Excellent. Sesame so damn good

    I ordered the grilled shrimp, red lobster, aqua chiles, abalone tostadas. I highly recommend

    Ivan G.

    Good experience overall, with a few things to note! I ordered the ceviche negro! it had a unique flavor, though personally I found the radish a bit overpowering and felt there could have been more shrimp, as it was mostly vegetables. I'd rate it around a 6/10 based on my personal taste. As for service, while our server was friendly and seemed busy with other tables (which I totally understand), our table didn't receive much attention, no water refills and limited check-ins. What felt a bit uncomfortable was the way the tip was handled, as a specific amount was suggested rather than left open to our discretion. When we left a certain amount that seemed to reflect on the service we received, he demanded more tip. I believe in tipping based on service, and I just wish the experience had matched the expectation. On a brighter note, my friend loved her dish! The fish was imported from Japan and she described it as buttery and flavorful. The shrimp al pastor taco and salsas were also highlights of the meal, really tasty! Overall, I'd give this spot a 7.5/10. I'd definitely consider coming back, and now I have a better idea of what to expect. :)

    Not only do they have great Mexican style seafood, the atmosphere is one of a kind! This place a is…read moreconverted privet home apartment building. They knocked down walls to adjoin all apartments on each floor, gutted them out, and placed dinning areas throughout. So you walk in and they tell you to go to the 2nd or 3rd floor and pick a table. That table can be in the past living room or past kitchen of an apartment. So cool! The whole ground floor is the kitchen and prep area. The front entrance is thru a open door between two taco stands, the door leads you into the past patio/common area of the apartments. There is no signs in the entrance, just flag an employee down in the patio area and they'll direct you to an open floor. All seafood dishes come with their famous paella, which is one of the best I've tasted. I had the best Octopus cocktail of my live here. The octopus was chunky and tender! I will visit this place every time I come to Mexico City!! They speak English and accept credit cards.

    During my 4 day stay in CDMX, I've been here twice. Such a neighborhood gem. I once saw local cops…read moretake togo when I passed by so I was curious. I got some braised pork dish for $70 peso. It was delish too. The pork dish tasted somewhat like kimchi soup with pork in it. (It was in a pot on the front row, second one from the left) On the way out, I saw paella and that looked amazing so had to be back to try next day.. It was not bad for $200ish pesos. It is nothing fancy but I loved it. If you are adventurous and want to try what locals eat, this is the place.
