I came here for lunch because I was really craving seafood. It’s a lovely space. I like the fact that I asked for steamed vegetables on the side instead of salad and they were very flexible and also said they could provide fries and other sides. I ordered the “Pulpo a las Brasas” (grilled octopus) with a side of steamed vegetables. Very lean and light. It was a large portion u0026 better than “ok” but not spectacular—especially for the price of $380 pesos (almost $20 USD).
A thin can of soda here costs you $50 pesos ($2.50 USD—really??!). They’re really taking the piss on that one!
I also ordered a starter which was the salmon tostada…you should know it’s actually raw salmon, so sashimi style. It was excellent!! Super fresh and placed on a nice chipotle aioli base.
COVID Safety: one thing that stood out at this place, which I appreciated, is that they have open air seating upstairs and downstairs and had panels separating tables. The first cdmx restaurant I see with this—excellent practice.
I gave it 4 stars bc for the price, it didn’t quite hit the mark. I ended up paying $600 pesos for lunch ($30 USD). That’s steep in any country... I NEVER spend that kind of money for lunch in LA or Austin. Sooooo. I wouldn’t go there but once and a while. It’s good, but not $30 USD for lunch good. Seems like more of a special occasion place. Also they have a full bar and DJ booth so I think pre-COVID it was a place to get turnt on a Friday or Saturday night.
