Cheap Eats: Compa Chava Mariscos


When it's 90 degrees and climbing with 60% humidity, there's nothing like an ice cold seafood cocktail to take the heat off and Compa Chava serves up an array of refreshing sea food cocktails and ceviche. On a recent visit, I ordered a shrimp and octopus cocktail ($70 pesos). Chava chopped the celery, onion and tomato to order and added his home made chilled shellfish broth (no Clamato in these cocktails!). He also makes his own "salsa picante" in a stone mortar right on the spot. My bench mates ordered fish ceviche tostadas ($15 pesos each), shrimp ceviche tostadas ($25 pesos each) and a Campechana (shellfish cocktail with clams, shrimp octopus, veges, broth $65 pesos). Located on Colegio Militar between Hidalgo and Marquez de Leon.
