Mi Gusto Es
Stretching half a block, this popular restaurant does a roaring trade in Sinaloa-style fish and seafood. The extensive menu features fish tacos, coconut-crusted shrimp and seafood cocktails. The only thing missing is the ocean breeze.

Lampuga
Fresh seafood is the focus of this French bistro–style restaurant, where a blackboard over the bar announces the daily specials. Tuna tostadas make great starters, as does the Greek-style octopus; for a main course, have the catch of the day grilled over coals. It may be hard to find a table at lunchtime.

Blu
A rare oyster bar among this energetic stretch of restaurants on Río Lerma between Río Tiber and Río Guadalquivir. There are just a handful of tables, plus the adjacent bar, which is bathed with dated ’60s blue neon light. Dishes include an oyster starter, salmon grill, grilled meats and salads.

Boca del Río
This large, old-fashioned dining hall has its fish delivered daily from the coast. Take a seat at the long stainless-steel counter and enjoy shrimp, oyster or octopus cocktails (from M$50, or eat all three in one serve, campechano -style), served with a lemon squeezer, a bottle of habanero salsa and a package of Saltines.

La Lona Verde
This humble and friendly establishment does some very tasty seafood dishes. Start off with fried shrimp quesadillas or mixiote de mariscos (a flavorful shellfish broth), then have a fish fillet al ajillo (laced with a garlic and chili sauce). Being an Oaxacan-run establishment, they also make tlayudas, those great big crispy tortillas with a variety of toppings.
