Great cocktails
Stuart B.

Really fun and happening restaurant with an upstairs bar and dining area. Eclectic and colorful decor. The service was busy but attentive and on point. Great cocktails. It can get very loud and the food is excellent. Take the long staircase upstairs and if you can manage to snag the little balcony to the left of the bar with standing room only, grab it! It's fun to have a drink from the bar and look out over the street life as you wait for your table. I was there on a busy Friday night without reservations and we got a table in about 10 minutes. I tried the quesadillas with "Menonita Cheese" which were delicious for an appetizer; there are 3 medium size tortillas folded with melted cheese; it's flavorful and kind of like a mild manchego. I didn't try the tacos, but they looked incredible. For the main course my party of 2 shared a "Cazuelo La Muñeca " which comes with tortillas and a chamorro (pork shank); you can make your own tacos. It was perfectly cooked, not fatty at all and absolutely delicious. This is a great place to go with friends or a date if you want to have a fun night out on a weekend because it has a trendy "Roma Norte" crowd, it's buzzing with a happy atmosphere and the food is really good.

One of the more popular spots for a high-caliber cocktail program, creative tacos, and posh environs in the Roma-Condessa area, Paramo can get a bit crowded even on a weekday evening, so come prepared to wait. While not every dish was perfect, some of the options were spectacular. Our favorite was the vegetarian taco served with a lovely bean-mushroom paste blended finely with an umami-rich mole sauce. It filled the gap of richness often found in vegetarian tacos.

Very nice ambiance and very nice service but that's about it! The decor here is lovely, there's so many plants and a lot of different frames along with many handicrafts. Among the 4 different tacos we ordered, only the shrimp taco was good. I agree with the other reviews that talked about food being meh. We did not get any drinks as we stopped by for dinner after drinks elsewhere. The dessert was alright, but surprisingly my husband loved it!

We heard about this place from a guy sitting next to us on our flight coming to Mexico. As he described it to us, it was intriguing, in that there is no name posted, so you just go up the stairs and then you are there. The food and drinks were good. We enjoyed it enough the first time to want to go again. Each time I had one of the salads, which were very tasty. There's no beer on tap, so I had to settle for bottled beer. My partner got a margarita each time and raved about it. Overall, it's a treat to eat there. I'd recommend it for a special occasion. Considering typical prices in Mexico City, it was on the higher end of the scale, about $50 US for the two of us.

Fantastic tacos, good service, refilled salsa/limes at no cost. Was a bit crowded and hard to find (no sign, just need to go up the unlabeled stairs), but overall was a fantastic meal. I got the classic pork taco (first on the taco menu) and ended up ordering more because of how juicy and delicious it was. Guac was really good and pretty inexpensive ($58 MXN I believe). Definitely worth a stop while you are in CDMX!

Octopus Tacos
Lina M.

Tacos were SO good, there was such a big variety. Wish I could've tried more! We got a Mezcal based sour to drink and started with the ceviche - it was so fresh and delicious / the tuna was amazing! We each got an octopus and beef taco, they were so flavorful! To wrap up the meal we got the quesadilla (came with 3 pieces). We each got one piece and were stuffed! The ambiance is very intimate and fun, lively crowd!

La comida es increíble y el servicio es genial. Llegamos con un grupo de 10 personas y nos sentaron a todos juntos. La comida es auténtica, el ambiente es divertido y orgánico. 10/10

Guacamole

We found this place on Google after wandering around the Roma Norte neighborhood for awhile. The restaurant is located on a higher floor and there is only a sandwich board with on the street with the restaurant name. I think the restaurant is divided into multiple rooms, but the room we were in was packed and tables were VERY close to their neighbors (not for the COVID-conscious). I asked the waiter which tacos were the most popular and he suggested one with tuna, one called la muñeca (I think) and the San Diego (chicken). The muñeca and taco with tuna were delicious - the meats were cooked perfectly and each taco was well-seasoned. The San Diego (chicken) taco, however, was a disappointment. The chicken was over cooked and dried out, and no amount of salsa could save it. The total bill came out to be closer to American pricing, but the food overall was good, so worth a try if you're in the neighborhood and willing to spend the money.

Very kind and friendly service. Food is good and you don't need reservations, you can wait in the bar while there is space. Duck was one of the plate that it is their main menu, it is food. But I would say cazuelas are the best, give it a try!

Tuna taco (must!)
Julia F.

Absolutely loved this place! It's upstairs an unmarked staircase but the main room has high ceilings and great natural light. The tuna tacos are phenomenal (and huge portions) and the mezcal drinks are great!

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it was just ok. It's a very touristy spot with many customer speaking English. My Mezcal Pepino cocktail was pretty good and it was well balanced with the smokiness of the mezcal and the freshness of the cucumber. For food I ordered the Taco Xochimilco, Taco La Poblana, and Taco Emalaura. All 3 tacos were ok, but as I mentioned there was nothing special about them. The service was good and the staff were all very nice. I definitely feel there are better restaurants in Mexico City.

Hungry G.

Hidden gem with excellent service and quality dining experience without being pretentious. The Mezcal cocktails were to die for and the ambiance was delightful. There were mostly locals there meaning that it's a bit of a secret local spot. If you're not sure what to order you can order different taco flavors and make your own sampler. The ingredients and presentation are quality.

When Páramo is busy, don't let the wait time for a table deter you from eating here. Our party of four waited about 40 minutes for a table. Let me tell you it was worth the wait. While waiting for a table we were able to order drinks at the bar across the hall from the dining room. The drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the labios rojos. I. Any recall exactly what we ordered, but it was all flavorful, well prepared, and delicious. Go now!

The seafood was so fresh. The mezcal selection was good. Our server was great and very friendly. The only thing is that it's ver crowded.

Came in for breakfast 7/27/27, table for 4 on 2nd floor…read more Definitely a nice place to have breakfast outside of eating tacos every wherelse. We order pan de dulce for the table and we got 2 conchas, soft and warm just made. A chocolate roll and a fig and nata pastry along with coffee for the table. We order hievos rancheros with the red sauce. Huevos revueltos con chorizo, omelete con flor de calabaza y tamal de elote con crema. We also order a birria de res to share with the table. Service was very quick, efficient and friendly menus can be had in english or Spanish . My daughter order a hot chocolate with preparation table side, she said it was amazing. Fantastic place for brunch but arrive before 9:45am otherwise lines and some slight wait after 10am.

No music beyond the 2 guitar player going around table to table to see if you wanted a serenade. Skipped their offer 1st time around. Pretty quiet, bright and clean. Found that waiter spoke a little English and with our little Spanish got things done. Menus are bilingual Spanish-English. Ordered 4 lamb tacos, chile en nogada, cooked chicken in green sauce and a fish dish (forgot name, little spicy) then a coke, horchata and a pineapple drink. We got chips, cheese, sauce while waiting. Those were all nicely done but average. Dishes out maybe 10 min later. All presented well and hot. We shared each dish. Lamb tacos nicely done, little dry, but they give you some guacamole, a brown sauce, along with the green sauce and cheese with the tortilla chips. Nice, not fatty. Next was the chiles en nogada. First time tried this and really enjoyed, many flavors and nicely flavored beef. In general little on sweet side, so probably couldn't eat more than 1. The chicken in green sauce was a homey, comfort food. Nicely cooked chicken leg and thigh was an ever so slightly spicy sauce. Also came with tortilla wraps and Spanish riceLastly was the spicy baked fish. Done well, fell apart pretty easily, was spicy, but not too much. Had green beans on side done well, not too soft or hard, and Spanish rice. Drinks were all a hit. Coke is coke. Horchata and pineapple juice served in big mugs. Pineapple tastes freshly squeezed and horchata was a super solid example in every way. Oh almost forgot, later in the meal we figured out how to get the 2 guitar fellows to play for us. 2 songs for 300 peso, about 7min total. They did a good job with both the guitar and singing, was enjoyable to listen to them. Would stop back again if in area.

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.

Very busy restaurant and located in a very lovely area. The staff was amazing and in sync. We started with some cocktails - the guava mezcalita and jamaica mezcalita and also the chardonnay that was very tasty. Here's what we had: -Tostadas de atun(tuna tostadas)- must get -Ensalada de Pulpo con patatas tibias con albhaca(octopus with potatoes and basil) - octopus wasn't very good and there was no flavor -Pescado à la talla Contramar(grilled whole fish with salsas on top)I would only get the one with just the red sauce, the green sauce didn't have a lot of flavor. This is very filling and enough for 4 people -Tacos de Pescado estilo Ensenada(fried fish tacos) - these were ok The dessert, though!! This is what the extra star is for - The Meringue with Fresas(meringue cake with strawberries)- OMG soooo good. Even after how incredibly full we were, we could not stop eating this. Delicious and so unique but with the classic flavor of strawberries and whipped cream. Don't forget to add a carajillo! À delicious coffee drink with coffee liqueur.
