Contramar

$$$ (< $50pp)LocalClosed

Buzzy Roma seafood institution famous for its red-and-green grilled tuna tostada.

Reservation Required

Contramar is the seafood restaurant that every CDMX visitor eventually hears about, packed daily with a lively mix of families, business lunchers, and tourists in Roma Norte. The signature is the tuna tostada split down the middle—red chile on one side, green parsley on the other—but the whole menu of ceviches, grilled fish, and seafood cocktails delivers. The room is bright, airy, and loud in the best way, with an open kitchen and fast-moving servers. Reservations are essential and often booked weeks out. Worth the planning.
