We had a great meal @ladocenaoysterbar I wish the weather would have been warmer and we could have sat at the outside oyster bar. We started with raw oysters, a crab tostada, fired calamari, and grilled oysters. The grilled oysters were amazing. We did the parsley and butter and almost ordered another round of the tabasco. We are normally not entree people but these were perfect. The grilled fish with avocado and herb salad is fresh, light, and so much flavor. I will try to recreate this at home. The grilled octopus was cooked perfectly. Nothing fancy just perfect octopus. And lastly the grilled vegetables . The herb smooth sauce they are served on top of and all the variety of vegetables, they are what all grilled vegetables are supposed to be. My girl dinner would be the vegetables and grilled oysters.

4.5/5 Came here for seafood in general but we werent too hungry so stick with mainly raw bars. It was delicious!! We tried 3 types of oyster, 3 types of clam, abalone - daily menu. They were all fresh, great texture and yum. For the regular menu, we tried the Raw Shrimp Tostada and Blue Crab Soup, both were sooooo good as well. Would definaly come back when I'm back here! They have English menu as well.

Great service. Cocktails and wines were all excellent. The civiche, crab roll, and octopus were all delicious. It's a moderate to upscale vibe. Recommend getting reservations.

La Docena offers great seafood in Mexico City with a great vibe. Offering some real flavorful dishes but a little disappointed they were out of certain items like the whole fish. The ahi tuna was offered in its although delicious just wasn't what I was looking for that night. The service was excellent and we really felt if there is anything we needed our server was able to get what we wanted or had alternatives for us.

If you visit one restaurant in Mexico City, go to La Docena! We came here on a recommendation from a friend and it did not miss! The service was great and the space was very cute. A smaller restaurant with chill city vibes. The drinks were good and we ordered a lot of food lol. The oysters Rockefeller were so good! I got the tuna tostada which was the best thing I ate on the whole trip. I should have gotten three of them! I also got the oyster taco thinking it would be a friend oyster but it wasn't and the texture just threw me off. My friend loved her seafood roll, but I forget what was in it, crab and shrimp maybe? We also shared a veggie plate that came with a really nice green sauce. We felt very healthy after that lol. I definitely recommend this spot!

Have you even had seafood? I was very surprised by how amazing the flavors of all the dishes I tried. Usually, there's a standout but here everything is just delicious. The command of the use of ingredients is next level. The cocktails are well-balanced and interesting in a good way. The service was great from start to finish- friendly, attentive, and efficient. Overall really great experience, and the vibe was just right. Unfortunately, I took very poor menu photos, so I can't name the food and drink I had except for the pulpo but know that I would come back in a heartbeat for all the yummy food. Do make reservations to get a table. There's also some walk-up bar seating that don't require reservations but if you want a table or have a larger party it is strongly encouraged.
