Where To Eat The Famous Fish & Other Iconic Dishes In Mexico City

"The dining room at Contramar is large and airy, the service is impeccable, the wine is fantastic, and during lunch, this place turns into one of the best parties we’ve ever been to. The pescado a la talla is a butterflied fish cooked with green salsa on one side and red salsa on the other and is served alongside various taco fixings, which will result in both a very pleasant DIY situation and the photo you and all your followers have been waiting for. The entirety of the seafood-focused menu is worth your time, including the tuna tostadas, but if you’re unsure about what else to order, just take a look around and see how everyone else is doing it. There’s a lot you can learn from the businessmen next to you who are eating octopus and drinking micheladas with clamato.  And if you’re reading all of this knowing full well you made not a single reservation before you arrived, don’t worry—Contramar’s sister restaurant, Entremar, also serves the famous fish tostadas, so try for a table there if the planning didn’t go quite as planned.
