Fisher's Roma — Restaurant in Mexico City

I was traveling alone, I asked the hotel for a place with fresh seafood I was recommended by the staff: Fishers by the Angel of independence so I walked 20 min to it , upon arriving the receptionist locked basic hospitality skills and seem displeased that it was only me so I said Table for one ? ( there are no tables for one now ) Can I get something to go ( to go will take too long ) next ! I insisted and waited so I got a table seems like table for one is frown upon, even the the server look disappointed, the seafood soup was very very good, the vuelve a la vida not so good very little seafood, I also had Seafood parrillada (seafood fajitas ) a bit of a mess again very little seafood the bits of fish wheels mushy and sticky lots and lots of vegetables. I left 80% uneaten. I went the second time thinking this eas a fluke ! Meet the same situation plus starter to rain. So no I did not had a not a good time. The only thing I can conclude is that the seafood soup is good. Im not sure about the rest. And the darn music is just too too LOUD ! Its very hard to carry a conversation. Anyone would had to yelled to talk, not too good for spreading COVID Suggestions Concentrate on serving good fresh food ( good food don’t need to much flash music and shiny objects ) Better host training Quicker service )15 minutes wait for soup ? And I had to ask for it a second time. Turn the tunes down man ! I want to eat and talk not dance and rave and set up a group of smaller tables for couples and individuals. I walked back to my hotel picked up seafood at a local cart vendor. $150 pesos was just as good Nothing extraordinary like this restaurant as...

Fisher’s Roma is a fantastic spot in Mexico City for those seeking authentic Mexican flavors and a truly local dining experience. Known as a neighborhood favorite, this restaurant delivers delicious seafood dishes with a casual, welcoming vibe that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.

To kick off the meal, every guest is served a comforting fish soup—a nostalgic touch that reminded me of a similar experience at a Mexican restaurant in San Diego. The star of the menu for us was the fish taco, elevated by their house special sauce that added an irresistible burst of flavor. Another standout was the grilled octopus, perfectly charred and seasoned, showcasing the skillful preparation that defines this restaurant.

One of Fisher’s charming quirks is serving beer in a duck-shaped boat, a playful signature that adds character to the experience. Despite the language barrier (the staff primarily speaks Spanish), the service was warm, attentive, and efficient, making us feel right at home.

Dining at Fisher’s Roma felt like discovering a hidden gem—a local treasure offering authentic Mexican cuisine with a focus on fresh, flavorful seafood. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in Mexico City’s culinary scene beyond the usual tourist spots, this is a place...

Oh my..... After a long exploration of the Bosque, we made our way to Calle Durango and some of our favorite places... We had never tried Fisher's so we decided to give it a go... So glad we did! Probably now our favorite in this area near Fuente de Cibeles. The oysters para empezar (to start) were amazing and nice fresh totopos to accompany. For the main, I took the Pulpos Griega and Samantha took the Seafood Lasagna. What a combo to share! Both were absolutely impeccable!! A couple of "vinos verdes" made it great. For dessert, a small cup of Bananitos was amazing. Karen was our server and a joy. We love this place. Nomadic Todd reaches close to 30,000 nomadic travelers and we give...
