🦐🌴 Mi Compa Chava: Seafood Heaven Worth the 2.5-Hour Wait! 🌶️🍴

Finally scored a table at Mi Compa Chava in Roma Norte—a cult fave where the queue snakes around the block. 🚶 But oh mama, every bite was worth it! 🤤 🍤 P2: Camarones Zarandeados (Grilled Prawns) $650 Juicy black tiger prawns sizzled with garlic butter! 🧄 The shells crisp up like potato chips (no bitterness!), and the flesh? Silky-sweet. Squeeze lime 🍋 or dunk in spicy aioli—game over. 🌮 P3: Tostada de Atún (Tuna Crudo) $295 MY FAVE! 💥 Raw tuna draped over a crunchy corn tortilla, drizzled with chili oil that’s sweet-spicy-umami magic. 🌶️🍯 The red onion garnish cuts through the richness—I could eat 10 of these! 🗼 P4: Señora Torre (Seafood Tower) $690 A chaotic mix of tuna, scallops, raw shrimp, cooked shrimp, octopus, cucumber, and onion, all drowned in a tangy-spicy “tiger’s milk” sauce. 🥒🌶️ It’s like a deconstructed ceviche… but meh. Share this with a crowd, or skip it for smaller plates. 🦪 P5: Ostiones y Almejas (Oysters + Clams) $1340 Daily specials! We scored chocolate clams 🍫 and oysters, then added 6 scallops. 🐚 The scallops stole the show—plump, briny, and so sweet I ate them raw. The clams? A bit salty, even with the lime-chili sauce. 🧂 Pro move: More scallops, fewer clams! 🍅 Bonus: Free Spicy Shrimp Soup! They gifted us a shot of tomato-based broth with tiny shrimp meatballs. 🍤🔥 So good, I’m still dreaming about it. 💸 Verdict: Pricey, but Mexico City’s seafood scene is… rough. 🌊 This place nails it—fresh, bold flavors, and zero fishy aftertaste. If you love ceviche or aguachile, BOOKMARK IT! 📌 📌 Need-to-Know: Hours: Opens at 12 PM. Arrive by 11:45 AM to beat the line. ⏰ Address: Zacatecas 172, Roma Norte. 🗺️ Vibe: Loud, lively, and 100% worth the hype. 🎉 #MexicoCityFoodie #SeafoodLovers #MiCompaChavaMagic 🇲🇽🍤
