El Pescadito — Restaurant in Mexico City

LOVE IT. Pure value, flavor and service at its best.

A short assortment of seafood and fish tacos , many of them with batter and fried. Big stuffed tacos full of flavor.

Then from the add on bar you can "bodybuild" your taco. Due to covid safety guidelines, a guy will add on based on your instructions. Also due to guidelines, tables are spaced out and there are some tables outside.

Easy parking as this street is not high traffic (compared to others) and plenty of parking areas nearby.

Note the place does allow to dine in. They need to correct that on their profile. They allow dine in, take out and delivery through apps.

Great location for the area and the hotels nearby. I enjoyed a nice walk and had my fish taco and shrimp taco and was ready to roll.

The staff is super friendly, professional and quick to service. I loved my...

I love tacos. I've loved them since I was maybe 10 or 11, but at that time I didn't even know how good they could be.

In a previous post I talked about my 2 months in Mexico City an amazing food city. One of my regrets from that time is not discovering / trying seafood tacos at @elpescadito_centrohistorico sooner...

I ate a lot of tacos in my time in Mexico but these fried fish and shrimp ones might have been my favorite.

Here's a breakdown on why: Texture: the fish and shrimp in these tacos are lightly battered and fried, they're so crisp yet light I love it Taste: the shrimp and fish themselves are super flavorful but you can add a nice slaw, chipotle mayo or salsa to really amp up the flavor Simplicity: these are no frills nothing crazy tacos. I love places that are low key, quick and keep it simple and this was...

As you enter, the smell of fish is pungent, but in a good way. You can pay both at the start, and finish of your meal.

As you grab your drinks you can sit down at any table you like and wait no more than 10 minutes for your meal to be served.

The place is far from fancy, but the vibe makes you feel at home with all the friendly waiters and other staff.

The servers wear jeans, a white t-shirt and a matching blue apron and baseball cap.

The food tastes like home in a really good way because it makes you feel great.

The fishtacos were deep fried and tasted amazing, with a cheap price. I loved these tacos.

Overall, the staff and location are great, but they could improve the lighting and overall location of the restaurant, since it is a bit hidden.

10/10...
