ABRASAMAR

My god where to start. This is a MUST for seafood lovers visiting CDMX. We started with guava mezcalitas, perfectly rimmed in tajin. We had an incredible tuna tostada, add some of their homemade hot sauce for a lil kick, a Camerone empanada oozing with hot melty cheese, the worlds spiciest most flavorful shrimp and cucumber agauchile- highly recommend to eat with the tortilla chips. the chili honey butter grilled shrimp were incredible, beautifully cooked, and my 20/10 savory dish of the night was the bread crumbed shrimp in a crazy incredible buttery sauce. The desserts??? All great but the must for me was the pan de elote. A light and fluffy corn bread dusted with cinnamon and sugar, topped with vanilla ice cream. The texture of that “pan” was less pan and more like the most decadent corn soufflé. PHENOMENAL dishes. And incredible service by our lovely waiter Richard. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful night and the chef for such a thoughtful and inventive menu.

THE BEST FOOD AND SERVICE—PERIOD! The food was absolutely delicious—please try the grilled shrimp, you can thank me later lol. The service was impeccable and so friendly. Both of our servers, Julio and other server were incredibly kind and even helped me prepare a birthday cake for my husband. Loved the entire experience and can’t wait to come back in the future!

The food and service were amazing, I had a tuna tostada and the best Margarita (245 pesos tho) I had in Mexico, however the portions are tiny , 10$ per taco is insane price , it’s not 5 star just bc the ratio price vs portion is not reasonable. El Cardenal had consistent service and same food quality , but different menu . If you are looking for sea food only then yes come here if you are looking just for good food look somewhere else .

Atmosphere is awesome, seafood is great. We love the grilled oyster the most, and fish taco raw and fried are both amazing. The grill shrimp is delicious but doesn’t seem to be super fresh. And btw Richard’s service and hospitality is awesome! 💙

This is a hard category in Mexico City because there is so many good places for seafood. The place is expensive, which reflectes the location and decoration. Food is just not a 5 stars as no dish really stood out. Ordered grilled oysters (w/o cutting the muscle and oil overpowering the flavor), Tuna is great quality, shrimps as well but the sauce missed some saltiness to balance sweat profile. If you are nearby please try and looking forward how their food evolves. Good potential.

So many things to unpack: 1.- the food is delicious and worth the hype. Not only because of the quality of the ingredients but also because of the versatility of the menu 2.- our wait time was 30 minutes for a party of 2, which was surprisingly short 3.- the staff is very friendly and quick. They are polite and attentive but at times a little bit erratic, nothing to really worry about but just a note here 4.- although the prices are worth the quality of the food, there are some things that are simply unacceptable: ceviche and aguachile are eaten with tostadas. Tostadas cannot be priced separately and they can certainly not cost $25 Mexican pesos each. This was borderline offensive. Overall (and tostada experience aside) this is a place that I would gladly go back to. There were several dishes in the menu that seemed very appealing.

Solid place. Echo what a lot of the other reviews say here. Fresh seafood. Unique dishes. Good service - shoutout to Miguel who had some great recommendations. Would definitely recommend. Reasonable prices as well compared to other establishments with this quality. We’ll be back!

Delicious! Excellent food and service. We had the white ceviche, pulpo taco, tuna tostada, and the grilled shrimps. Highly recommend!
