El Pez Azul — Restaurant in Mexico City

Craving something bright and refreshing after a heavy lunch, I stumbled into El Pez Azul on a rainy Saturday night—and I’m so glad I did. From the moment we stepped in, the vibe was welcoming: a friendly server greeted us and quickly took our drink order. Their fresh lemonade with Topo Chico was an instant winner—tangy, effervescent, and made with lime squeezed right in front of us (no concentrate here!).

Despite my hesitation (a past aguachile experience in the U.S. left me wary), we trusted the house recommendation: "El Patrón" aguachile, medium spice. One bite erased all doubts—this dish was explosively fresh, with perfectly balanced heat, citrus, and buttery shrimp, scallops, and octopus. I’m still dreaming about it, and I’ll absolutely order it again next time.

We also tried the shrimp empanada and two chocolatas clams (both great), but the aguachile was the star. Next visit, I’m diving into their tostadas!

Beyond the food, the service was exceptional—attentive but never rushed. The space was spotless, dog-friendly, and buzzing with warmth. A flawless experience—10/10, and I can’t...

I was craving fish tacos and found El Pez Azul nearby La Condesa, I did not expect the burst of flavors in the taco options! Delicious! Service was excellent and the outdoor seating was comfortable and surprisingly peaceful. Mauricio made sure I had everything I needed I also was not planning on dessert but I was so impressed with what I ordered (shrimp, guisado fish, fried salmon tacos) that I was curious to try the flan. Mauricio came by just in time and offered it to me, what a mind reader! The flan was the perfect way to end the meal, not overly sweet and the perfect amount to leave me dreaming of coming back soon! If you are a seafood lover don’t miss out on this spot in CDMX. I only got photos of the flan, I’ll be back to take fotos...
