Servers are attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and make excellent suggestions. If you are looking for the best of CDMX cuisine then look no further than Contramar. Double highly recommend.

Delicious! Very good seafood options…read more Food: had 2 different ceviches, tuna tostada, tuna/shrimp tacos and the fish quesadilla. Would recommend everything but the fish quesadilla, had a lot of fishy flare that did not sit well with me. Ambiance: we sat outside, service was great.

An absolute standout in Roma Norte…read more La Corriente Cevicheria Nais delivered one of the best meals we've had in CDMX, hands down. We started with half a dozen Kumiai oysters paired with a delicious vinaigrette -- clean, briny, and perfectly dressed. The red snapper tostada followed, with a bright citric kick, smoky chipotle crema, and creamy avocado that balanced it all out beautifully. For the main event, we went with the fish of the day prepared "Esmeralda style" -- a whole robalo, pan-seared in garlic butter and cooked to perfection. It came with the Esmeralda sauce (a green tomato and cilantro sauce with shrimp), fluffy jasmine rice, and fresh handmade tortillas. Every component on the plate was working together. Our waiter Armando made the whole experience even better, guiding us through the menu with genuine enthusiasm and great recommendations. If you're visiting CDMX and want an upscale meal without the upscale price tag, this is the spot. We're already planning our return.

Hmm, where do I start? We came here at least 4-5 times during our recent trip to Mexico City. The…read moretacos are out of this world, especially the fried fish and the one with jalapeño. All the condiments allow to make these tacos customized per our own flavor profile and they have got things great salsa, toppings etc. Staff was super nice and accommodating as well, I'd definitely be coming back here when I;m in town next time.

This place hit the spot after a long day of walking around Mexico City. We came in for lunch…read moreabsolutely exhausted and left happy, refreshed, and very well fed. The tacos were incredibly fresh and flavorful. We tried the jalapeño-stuffed tuna, smoked marlin, and a tuna-shrimp combo--each one was excellent and cooked perfectly. But the real star is the self-serve toppings bar. The variety of toppings, salsas, and fresh house-made sauces takes the tacos to a whole different level and lets you customize every bite exactly how you want it. Paired everything with cold Coronas and Topo Chicos, and it was such a satisfying, no-frills but high-quality meal. Generous portions, great flavors, quick service and absolutely worth the price. If you're in Mexico City and craving amazing fish tacos, El Pescadito is a must. We'd go back in a heartbeat.

Service was fine. Ambiance was fine. Food was horrible. I would say this was likely among one of…read morethe worst restaurants I've eaten at in a very long time. I had the octopus tacos and octopus peanut tacos. I couldn't even manage to finish either as they were so bad. The flavor just wasn't it. I pulled out some of the octopus to separate it from the other items and it wasn't any better on its own. I also noticed that they were among the two most expensive items on the menu which makes me suspect the waiter was just directing me to the most expensive items rather than the most popular, which is what I inquired about. Don't recommend, would never come back here again.

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.

Seafood in a Roma "Food hall" So, the place is kinda like a…read morefood-hall. There are a bunch of tiny restos where you order what you want, and a shared seating area that they bring it over to. Cevichento is one of the joints (it's got a street-front, with a few chairs that you can sit at). The service is slow (as it is at most of the places here), so don't go if you're in a rush. OTOH, the food is really quite good - the aguachile is delightfully acidic (and *chili-hot*!), as are the tortas. If you're looking to while away some time, w/ a variety of options, this ain't a bad spot...

The cocktails were ridiculously creative (including ingredients like soursop juice, eucalyptus, charred pineapple, worm salt, basil, cucumber etc--obviously not all in the same cocktail), and served in dramatic glasses with fun garnishes. In terms of food, we were four people and we shared four starters (yellow-fin ceviche, kampacho and blue fin sashimi (which they call laminadas), and a shrimp "envelope"--each one was remarkable, and served with flavorful sauces that complimented the dish. Our mains were also good, though not as spectacular--they offer Catch of the Day (mahi mahi today) prepared in three different styles. The plain one (pan seared with shallot butter) was nothing special, but the option served over spinach with a cream sauce was incredible. The grilled shrimp main was also excellent as was the chocolaty dessert. Overall a delightful meal with excellent service and cocktails!

I was a little worried about how the food would turn out given the location (there's a California…read morePizza Kitchen across the street). Turns out everything we had was really fresh and delicious. Personal favorites were the Camarones al Ajillo, the Pulpo, the Yellowfin ceviche, the Mahi-mahi, and the suckling pig. Which was basically most of what we ordered... Taking off a star because there were a few options on the menu that weren't available, which was a little disappointing. And despite how delicious everything was, it was all fairly simple and traditional, without much wow factor to account for the higher prices. The service was fantastic as well, however, so this is a definite recommend!
