El Saladito marisquería — Restaurant in Mexico City

Came back a second time. We got the shrimp aquachili, it was far from fantastic. I watched her wash the shrimp in city water and then dry it with hand towel. I wasn't concerned as the lime juice will likely kill any bacteria. We also ordered the garlic octopus. I went back specifically for this dish because of the picture in the menu ( full octopus tentacles) . Before I placed the order, the server told me it doesn't look like the picture and it's now chopped. We still decided to order it anyways. It was so overcooked that it was like eating leather.

I had the pleasure of dining here for three days in a row, and each day was an absolute delight! I tried a variety of seafood and fish dishes, and everything I ordered was spectacular. Some of my favorites included the Tostada Atún and Pulpo, Enchilada de Camarón, Taco Camarón, Camarones al Ajillo, and a half portion of Ceviche de Camarones, which was generously sized. Each time, I was also treated to a complimentary Caldo de Camarones, which was a wonderful touch.
