    Scallops ceviche (left) and tuna ceviche (right)
    Mariecar M.

    We didn't have a lot during our first visit, but oooo man, do I want to come back -- even if just for the clams again. We did them hot and cold and I can't even tell you which one I loved one! The two ceviches we got were good, too, but I really enjoyed the tuna more. I ended up putting some of the scallops from the scallop ceviche dish in the leftover sauce of my clams to add more flavor to each bite. Jefferson was a wonderful server, who also gave us a little education on mezcal and the gin made in Mexico

    Some kind of rice dish ! Not that good

    Our hotel in Mexico City recommended this restaurant to us to celebrate my birthday with my husband & our two guests. It was difficult to find the place because there were no signs. At 7:45 pm there was no one in the restaurant except for the 4 of us. They close at 9 pm. No one else came in.To me that was not a good sign. The menu was short with only 4 entrees. They only had 3 to offer. The rest of the menu was just appetizers. The portions were very small & expensive. For 4 persons we paid 4000 pesos with no deserts or coffee. I did not enjoy the dinner because 8 waiters were all around us trying to sell. They even brought a champagne when we didn't order ! We returned it. I ordered a whole fish (500 gram) for 575 pesos on the menu but the waiter said they don't have that one, instead he could bring a 700 gram for 875 pesos.Bait & Switch! I refused & got the 5oz steak instead which was not good for 497 pesos. At the end when we paid, the waiter did not bring us our change which was 510 pesos. I did not enjoy this place at all.My birthday dinner was ruined! Paid a lot and had no fun!!

    Shrimp ceviche and clams

    A delightful explosion of flavors and an overall amazing experience! Easily one of the best meals we had in the week we spent in Mexico City. The restaurant is super cute, tucked away in a courtyard with other cute little shops, and the staff are quick and funny. The food was delicious but the star of the night was the charred sweet potato, which was out of this world. Highly recommend! I made reservations on the Spanish version of Open Table the same night.

    Cool place, great food. We had ceviche, tuna tostada & wood fired mushrooms plus margaritas. It's kinda hidden but so glad we found. Close to our Hotel & I think its a sister restaurant to Contramar.

    Excellent food and service in a quiet area just off the Zocalo. The mezcal Negroni was amazing.

    The quality and freshness of the seafood items were stellar and if I had to pick my favorites they would be the tuna tostada and shrimp aguachile.
