Campobaja

Chef Alejandro Zarate brings the cuisine of Ensenada to Mexico City at this Michelin-recognized seafood spot on Colima. The menu leans on ultra-fresh fish and shellfish sourced from Baja California — think tuna belly tostadas, grilled octopus, shrimp with gochujang sauce, and prepared oysters that convert even the natural-only crowd. The squid bread with garlic confit, red curry, and peanuts is one of the more distinct things on the menu.

The terrace is comfortable and runs at full capacity most evenings. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. Service is friendly and genuinely helpful with menu navigation.
