Pues, here's the food review: Japanese oysters 9/10 - they're usually smaller elsewhere Best tostadas de atun I've ever had. Crispy and the fish was perfect texture. 10/10 Shrimp tacos 7/10 - not salted well. Tuna croquette 7.5/10 - kinda dry Contramar fish 7/10 - I wanted to like it but it was also not well salted and it was dry.

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.

We started with raw oysters, a crab tostada, fired calamari, and grilled oysters. The grilled oysters were amazing. We did the parsley and butter and almost ordered another round of the tabasco. We are normally not entree people but these were perfect. The grilled fish with avocado and herb salad is fresh, light, and so much flavor. I will try to recreate this at home. The grilled octopus was cooked perfectly. Nothing fancy just perfect octopus. And lastly the grilled vegetables . The herb smooth sauce they are served on top of and all the variety of vegetables, they are what all grilled vegetables are supposed to be. My girl dinner would be the vegetables and grilled oysters.

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.

We ordered the tuna and pulpo tostadas! So fresh and delicious. The staff told me they fly in the fresh seafood everyday. Our waiter told us to try the fish taco. The batter was light and I liked the freshness. We had the Camarones asados (shrimp) and this was one of my faves. The shrimps were grilled and had a really nice sauce on top. My favorite was the calimar lolingo which is calamari in a peanut garlic sauce. Sooo good. You use the bread the dunk in the sauce. My family ordered the Gordita and they all like it. For the desert we had the flan and it was a perfect end to the meal. I will be back

This was my favorite meal of our week-long trip in CDMX…read more The octopus was amazing. Best octopus we have had anywhere. Soft and not rubbery at all, and seasoned perfectly. I'd go back just for that. We also had the special oysters (the oyster dish with caviar). Also excellent! Our last dish was a grilled fish. Perfectly cooked. Lots of flavor. Great entree! Definitely was worth the splurge. The only disappointment was the shrimp dish we had. The shrimp themselves were great, but it just seemed too salty for us. Oh well, maybe we were just spoiled by all the other dishes.

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.
