Marisqueria el K-Guamo, nestled in the heart of Mexico City's vibrant Centro district, has quickly become a celebrated seafood destination. Patrons rave about the exceptional value, especially for their shrimp and octopus tostadas, which many agree are the best for the price in the area. The octopus ceviche, in particular, has been highlighted for its deliciousness, often leading customers to order multiple servings.
The ambiance is welcoming, with a clean and modest setup that caters to both dine-in guests and those looking for a quick takeaway. Customers appreciate the friendly service, with many noting the fast turnaround and the quality of the food, from shrimp cocktails to an impressive selection of seafood preparations. The addition of local beverages, including beer and the house specialty, mezcal, adds to the appeal.
While some reviewers noted the instant coffee served might not align with the restaurant's quality of seafood, the emphasis here remains on the fresh, flavorful dishes that keep customers returning. Marisqueria el K-Guamo is a must-visit for seafood lovers craving authentic flavors in a casual dining experience.

Hands down. The best seafood for the price. Order the shrimp or octopus tostadas (ceviche). You won’t regret!

Very yummy octopus ceviche tostada! Really delicious and people were so nice. The coffee was instant coffee which was surprising cause I was given a jar of Maxwell's, sugar, and a cup of hot water. I would've liked real coffee but it was really great food and that's what I came for!

On the outside of Historic City Center lies El K-Guamo, a low key spot that serves up a great octopus (pulpo) tostada. I started by ordering one pulpo tostada, ended up ordering 4. The pulpo is served up ceviche style. I recommend adding some Valentina sauce whether you sit in or take out.

Very nice, clean and relatively small seafood restaurant. Grest selection of diffrrent preparations of fish, shrimp, oysters, other combinations. Beer on tap and by the bottle. Mescal is a house specialty. I had an excellent shrimp coctail with house sauce. Prices seem standard for the area. Service fast and friendly. There is an indoor, sit down restaurant and about a block away there is a street cart version that has the same food, but no alcoholic beverages. I recommend the indoor restaurant for a more relaxed evperience. It is more assessible for handicaped patrons. Popular and egalitarian. High hygine standards.
