Puerto Prendes

Roma Norte, Mexico City · Seafood · $$

Puerto Prendes is the kind of seafood cantina that used to exist all over Mexico City before rents and rebrands transformed the Roma - white tablecloths, ceviche with saltines, the waiter who's been there longer than most customers have been alive. The name signals Sinaloan coastal cooking: shrimp in aguachile, fish fillet à la veracruzana, cold beer in a glass. No Instagram lighting, no twelve-page cocktail menu - just good seafood and a room that hasn't changed much since the 1980s.
