La Docena

La Docena brings New Orleans–style oyster bar energy to Roma Norte — expect a packed bar, grilled oysters, and a menu that runs from Gulf Coast classics like clam chowder to Mexican seafood preparations like aguachiles and zarandeada. The raw bar features mixed oysters from different regions, though your server may not always explain which is which, so ask if you care.

The space fills up quickly on weekends, and there's a small waiting area with benches outside. The clam chowder stands out as the most reliable order, while dishes like grilled pulpo and charred avocado round out the menu. It's moderately priced for what you get, though portions can feel tight for the cost. Avoid the table right by the door if you're coming in the evening — it gets drafty.
