A Zona Centro seafood counter a block from Avenida Revolución that Roger keeps coming back to for one dish above all: the red snapper tostada, best paired with a shrimp cocktail and chili oil sauce.
Start with red snapper tostada or shrimp cocktail, and check the restaurant’s current menu before you go.

“the red snapper always hits the damn spot!”
Out of several visits over time, the red snapper tostada is the one dish Roger says never misses. He recommends a medium shrimp cocktail on the side (served in a cup for scooping onto the tostada) with chili oil sauce, and notes it's only a block from Avenida Revolución so it's an easy walk from the border crossing.
