Inventive Mexican seafood with standout octopus and tuna dishes, strong hospitality, but variable speed and a few food safety complaints; prices are on the higher side for the area.
BROTE delivers solid neighborhood dining with standout seafood dishes—tuna carnitas and octopus prepared with real skill—and genuinely warm, attentive service that keeps regulars returning. However, quality varies noticeably between visits, and isolated but concerning hygiene reports prevent confidence in grade A territory. The creative Mediterranean-Mexican approach and pleasant Coyoacán setting make it worth visiting, but execution reliability falls short of the area's most celebrated restaurants.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (many mains $285-$345 MXN) which may surprise casual diners
