“ The best seafood in the whole world ”
“ Best and freshest seafood in Mexico City DF ”
“ The place is one of the largest in the area when it comes to seafood restaurants, and on weekends you'll have to wait in line to get in. The service is very fast, and the food arrives quickly. For a central food market, it seemed a bit pricey to me. There's no longer any difference between other seafood restaurants in better locations and areas. Plus, the portions aren't as large, and the quality doesn't match the price. In terms of price-quality, I think there are better options. The food is quite good; I recommend the mojarra. The cod is a very small portion for the price. The shrimp cocktail is delicious. Among the desserts, I recommend the plantains with cream or the flan. The parking lot is at the central food market; currently, they charge 25 pesos to get in. The "viene viene" (come-come) drivers have other rates and are annoying in trying to lure you to other restaurants. ”
