Campobaja

I totally get why Campobaja has a Michelin star! We made a lunch reservation (which I highly recommend—it doesn’t seem like the kind of place you can just walk into), and the entire experience lived up to the hype. The space feels trendy and full of energy, and the food? Absolutely incredible. Every bite was bright, fresh, and carefully crafted—flavorful without being fussy. You can really tell how much attention goes into each dish. The service was fine, not great, but the food more than carried the experience. This place is a must-visit in CDMX and absolutely worth it.

Very disappointed with the experience at a such highly raved restaurant. After we were seated, the waiters didn’t seem to be too welcoming. The “best” ceviche was also the worst I’ve had the whole trip. Flavor was bland/ lacking. Most of the dishes didn’t have much flavors. The grilled shrimps were not fresh, it was mushy. The cauliflower also had absolutely no flavor at all, not even a slight bit of salt was tasted. Would not recommend for the value and food.

Great palace to spend a lunch with friends or family! I would recommend fresh seafood over tacos. Oysters were amazing, tuna sashimi and hamachi very good! Service is nice and friendly! Not amazed by the wine. Good martini! I would come back for a lunch! Thank you

Food is great. Excellent ceviche and aguachile. Wine selection even though seems quite a number of choices but quality is average. Glassware is so basic that shows that wine is not important. If they can elevate wine, it could be pretty impressive.

10/10! Best food we had in CDMX by far. The black risotto with calamari and the pulpo were amazing. Make sure to ask for the price of the octopus- it was per pound and were a bit surprised when the bill came and realized this dish alone cost us 1000 pesos. But honestly worth it! Everything was delicious and way above our expectations.

Campobaja This is a very nice restaurant where you can go as an individual couple or very large group. Atmosphere and decor is very nice. Noise/music is very loud and sometimes difficult to have a conversation. The acoustics amplify the bustle. I agree with the complaints of others regarding how loud the noise is. Well curated wine and drink list. First time I noticed a restaurant with orange wine. Obviously I had it and it was amazing, from the Alsatian region. No problem getting filtered water and it was served with ice without requesting it. Love that. Wait service was attentive professional and enjoyable. Really welcoming and very nice staff. We tried the pork belly on noodles and it was amazing. However, we asked several times to make sure that it was not spicy hot, that there would be no Pico or picante, but it came very spicy for us and the waiter said it was only medium. Yes but I request no hot spices... Most really good restaurants would have, without question , just taken the plate back and redid it without the hot spicy ingredients but here,  the waiter grabbed my spin and proceeded to pick. Out what he perceived as the hot pieces. It was hilarious. I guess this sort of thing is typical for Mexico. We also tried the oysters which were pretty good. Quite expensive for three oysters but it hit the spot. By this time we were warned there were 10 minutes before the restaurant kitchen closes. This drives me nuts. I guess in Mexico the restaurant kitchens close an hour or more prior to the restaurant. We ended up ordering the burritos. While interesting, they were not our personal favorite. They certainly didn't rise to the expectations of the a general food culture of the city. They love the hot sauces at this restaurant. I love that they had real menus here. They have a sink outside the bathrooms to wash your hands. My daughter said the bathrooms were slnot so clean, a disappointment. I didn't check out the men's room. They take credit cards and Amex. I think their menu is all over the place. I didn't really appreciate one common theme. Nevertheless, if the pork belly appetizer wasn't too hot for our tastes, it's an amazing dish. Warm sweet and savory ramen noodles with just the most perfectly cooked pork belly. It was nice to see oysters. However, it didn't seem like they really belonged there and I was a little weary of getting oysters but they were fine, I hope. Personally, I wouldn't be going for the burritos here. Your taste may be different. Study the menu before you go so you will understand how to approach your meal and drinks before getting there. Think tapas? Also, I was being generous on my star ratings if you don't completely agree.

You won’t regret this experience! Absolutely everything we had was second! The tuna tostado was so good, went back another day in our very short trip just for those. Topped with a margarita, it was a heavenly experience. Other items we tried were the VERY spicy ceviche - we loved it but don’t do it if you can’t handle the heat. We also had the prawns, probably the best grilled I’ve ever had! I’d go back again for sure!

Great change of pace from all the amazing tacos CDMX has to offer. All the dishes we had were amazing. The octopus tentacles with chicken gizzards were our favorite, even though my wife does not eat gizzards. Staff was very attentive and gave great recommendations. I did get FP from the oysters. They were really good but I should have resisted for obvious reasons. I lost a whole day in CDMX recovering.

Fantastic food and service. Pushes the boundaries of what sea food can be across cultures.

My favorite spot in CDMX for seafood! Best aguachile hands down. The raw shrimp they use is sweet and juicy and just goes so well with the sauce. Their tostadas are amazing as well - the hamachi and tuna were standouts. Also, get their oysters!! Definitely enjoyed the fun and vibrant atmosphere, especially when dining at the terrace during a pleasant night.

Excelente servicio !!! Excelente sabor!!! Los sabores de la baja!! Una muy buena opción a estos días de calor.

Excellent food and service. The cocktails were great and the food was amazing. The price was good for the quality. We recommend the "arroz rojo", we have been thinking about it ever since. Shoutout to our waiter Rogelio, ho gave us great recommendations. A definite must go if you are in CDMX!

We arrived a little after the 15 minute grace period and did some friendly begging to get seated (thank heaven it worked, because the meal was a delight once we got to the table). Just a head's up: if you get trapped in CDMX Fri/Sat traffic, no amount of lobbying over the phone on the way to the restaurant will overcome their hard-and/fast 15 minute rule, so try your best to be on time. It took us almost an hour to traverse the 3 miles between our starting location and the restaurant due to road closures. The staff were sympathetic-ish, but... it's a crazy-busy establishment. If you're late you're rolling the dice for the waitlist. On to the food: it's all seafood for the most part, so if that's not your jam, this isn't the place for you. If you're a mariscos lover, you're in for a real treat. Even though we adore raw fish in general, our favorite items with the cooked ones (which sadly I didn't get photos of). The fried whole fish is simply unmissable - it's so perfectly cooked (lightning hot temp-wise, super crispy skin, meltingly-soft flesh, and incredibly tasty toppings/sauce (garlic and tamarind are prominent)). The grilled octopus and gochujang spot prawns also should be ordered. The raw items are more uneven: the sashimis are presented simply sliced with a shower of salt on top - not particularly flavorful or interesting, even when dipped in the various accompaniments. I would skip those. The black ceviche is their most famous dish, but we found the citrus/sweetness overpowered the flavor of the fish itself. The various clam preparations are intensely fishy - we eat these clams in Baja pretty regularly, and these were a little disappointing by contrast as far as freshness was concerned (that being said, that makes sense, since they have to be shipped to CDMX from the coast). For those who are looking for an English menu/speaker to facilitate your meal: there are none at this restaurant. So be prepared to rely on Google translate. It's worth the effort.

We had lunch here one month ago and I still dream of their amazing tuna toastadas. This was by far one of my favorite meals in Mexico City. I can't recommend it more.

Campobaja is my favorite restaurant in Mexico City! They're always adjusting the menu based on what's fresh, and the ambiance is unmatched. One of my favorite dishes is their squid ink rice, which is always so creamy and phenomenal. You really can't go wrong with any of their seafood offerings, honestly.

Wonderful staff, amazing food, and tasty cocktails! If you're looking for raw food and oysters, this is it! Easy to miss, the signage can be small. You walk through the lobby area after being greeted by the host. They take you upstairs to lots of seating. My friends and I ordered some raw fish dishes, aguachiles, ceviches, oysters, grilled octopus appetizer with gochujang sauce, and this fried snapper dish. Everything was fresh and superb! Highly recommend the octopus and fried snapper. For drinks, we ordered mezcal shots, carajillos, and mezcal margaritas. Definitelyrefreshing! They even provided a birthday cake and ice cream for my friend's birthday. Super sweet!

Fantastic all around - food, service, ambiance. Also has cover if it rains so do t worry about being "outdoors".

This restaurant is incredible, from the ambiance, music, cocktails, service. The seafood is the freshest. I enjoyed the margarita mazapan, it has Amarula, perfectly balanced despite its sweetness, makes a great after dinner drink.

Really beautiful space just across the street from where we stayed. I especially loved the bathroom. The food was simple, approaching underseasoned, but good. The portions were as small as you'd expect from this type of eatery. Everything we ordered was raw. The drinks were strong. Now that I think of it... the drinks and the aesthetics were my favorite part. 5 stars for that. 3 stars for the food.

NASTY!!! NASTY NASTY!!! Make sure to ask/see if they cleaned the shrimp because they are NOT de-veined, which makes the dish very un-hygienic for consumption! Staff doesn't speak English, so make sure to triple check what you have ordered! Ordered rice and shrimp and got shrimp aguachile instead! Read above on how that tasted *barf*

I recommend checking out their Instagram if you want to see just how enticing their food is. Everything was super delicious and I plan to go back soon. Came here on a date and the atmosphere was perfect - medium volume with big groups, small groups, and couples dining, and candle lit. Service was amazing as well (please remember to tip as much as you can, because in Mexico it makes up a large portion of their earnings!). Definitely recommend getting the ceviche, and trying their fish and even burrito dishes. Drinks were great too. We ate till capacity and it came out to be about $70 before tip - that included a drink each, about 5-6 dishes, and a cheesecake.

Amazing food, cocktails, and staff. I ordered seafood ceviche, raw scallops tostada, a mixed platter of oysters, and a mezcal cocktail. All of it was delicious.

The overall ambient of the place is comfortable and spacious, better yet on a sunny day! They only serve lunch and kitchen closes at 5:30pm. Since 2017 the menu is daily depending on the catch of the day or season and freshness of the fish. The cuisine can be described as mexican comfort seafood, since they elevate street food with very native ingredients. Don't expect big portions, you might think that the flavor will be spectacular given the size and nope, it's not. Give this place a shot without grand expectations, as other reviews say.

This place is legit. Loved the vibe. Kind of industrial, but with warm charm with indoor/outdoor covered patio. The food was great and fresh, mostly sea food. We met one of the owners and he was just a sweet dream. I had Mexico-belly and they cooked me something off menu as most of the menu was raw fish inspired. I would love to go back here. Great vibe, great staff, just overall lovely experience!

Soft shell crab taco was phenomenally delicious! Tortilla was perfect. Loved everything about it! FYI, It's a big taco!

Probably the best meal I've ever eaten. It is taking my full restraint to not hop on a plane and fly back there to eat tomorrow. Whatever you do don't pass go just eat.
