Food- one of my favorite meals while in Mexico City! We didn't order much because we were full from a meal before but ordered what we could. What we got: MUST HAVE AGAIN: 1. If you like octopus: Tacos de carnitas de pulpo (fried octopus carnitas). This didn't seem fried but oh my gosh it was SO tender and fresh and flavorful! Our whole table LOVED this. Highly recommend. 2. Scallop tostadas!! SO fresh/refreshing! 3. Fig Tart- It was so good! Tasted kind of like a fig cheesecake. We heard it was the most popular desert and got lucky because our waiter Edgar saved it for us!! Thank you so much Edgar! Tasty but would go for something else next time: 1. Tacos de esmedregal al pastor: Al pastor fish, onions, cilantro, pineapple I didn't get the soft shell crab taco but heard it was delicious so thought I'd toss that here!

One word to describe this experience: disappointing…read more As a preface, the service was outstanding. Our waiter, Ramon, was very kind and attentive, as was the manager. Beyond that, everything was shockingly mid! To start, we had the tuna and shrimp tostadas, which were quite good. As our main course, we had the pescado a la talla estilo contramar, which I was very excited about. The presentation was beautiful, and the waiter showing us how to serve the fish was a nice touch. HOWEVER, upon trying the food, we found that the fish was lukewarm and shockingly flavorless. Given Contramar's popularity and how highly regarded it is, I was expecting an explosion of flavor. The level of blandness was mind boggling. I swear they didn't put even a pinch of salt on the fish. I said something because it was shockingly bad. Thankfully, they brought another one out which I thought was better, albeit nothing that makes my mouth water thinking about it now. So me and my boyfriend were really holding out hope for the dessert. We're long distance (DC to CDMX) so every dinner we have together matters more, and I was really praying that the dinner would end on a high note. Unfortunately, they were OUT of the strawberry merengue. I will admit I was so disappointed that a few tears were shed. We ended up getting the fig tart that I liked but my boyfriend didn't. At least we bonded on the walk home--30 minutes of complaining! I would advise anyone reading this to pass on contramar unless you want to pay thousands of pesos to be disappointed.

Highly recommend that! Service was super attentive and helpful.

We were served blue corn tostadas with a few different sauces - all of which were tasty, especially the spicy creamy green one. We then ordered appetizers to share. All were tasty but hands down my favorite item was the pulpito. The octopus was so tender and went perfect with the little potatoes. I also really liked the rib eye tacos which came with the best red spicy sauce and the tiradito which is a campachi Crudo. From the cebiche tasting platter (no photo), I liked the atun the most. Of course we ordered desserts as well. I actually cannot remember the names but will comment on them with the attached photos. One I' didn't get a photo of was a chocolate dessert. It was very good but rich. If you're in the neighborhood I suggest trying this spot out.

Half of the table orders were taken but not the other half. We had to keep calling the wait staff back. We received our food at different times. Someone received burnt rice as well.

For breakfast I ordered scrambled eggs with little pieces of ribeye beef on top., accompanied by little black refrigerator beans. It was all very good. There was attention to every detail here. Although the restaurant was filled, it was quiet and quaint and so enjoyable. We liked it so much, we plan to return during our trip! dinner!

On our last night he said we are going to a fabulous authentic Mexican restaurant. A 2 minute walk from the hotel brought us to Las Mercedes. The service is impeccable and the menu is diverse an authentic drawing from different regions of Mexico. Our waiter spent a considerable amount of time with us describing the dishes of interest to us. I finally said pork and spicy please. Our appetizers included beef and veggie tacos. My dining companion had the blackened red snapper and I had the shredded pork cooked in banana leaves homemade corn tortillas accompanied my dish. To be honest I could have ordered a dozen more menu offerings as each looked fabulous. If you are in the area this is a must for dinner or even brunch. 6 Yelp Stars!

Good bartender. This is a fun place, but you need to understand a couple things. This is entertainment. You're sitting in a nice place, being chatted up by pretty girls and buying drinks. That's all it is. That's all it is meant to be. My second tip is do not get talked into buying Champaign- it's about five times market price, and make the whole thing way to expensive. But if you just stick to dinner and drinks, it is a great way to spend a night in the city when traveling alone
