For Pacific cooking and comal tortillas

• Barracuda MX

  Pacific Mexican cooking near Puerta de Alcalá

  At Valenzuela 7, Barracuda MX combines coastal Mexican dishes with Spanish ingredients. The dining-room menu lists oysters, ceviches, seafood guacamoles and sea bass a la talla, as well as beef, pork and an eggplant taco. A coastal focus does not make every preparation seafood-only.

  Choose Barracuda MX for Pacific Mexican cooking near Retiro. Match the menu to the time: the operator publishes a reduced selection between 16:00 and 19:30.

• Puntarena

  Mexican Pacific seafood inside Casa de México

  Puntarena is at Alberto Aguilera 20, with access and operating hours independent of the cultural institution. The restaurant describes coastal Mexican cooking, including ceviches, tacos, pulpo enamorado and pescado a la talla. The MICHELIN Guide also lists the exact venue for Pacific cooking and shared dishes.

  Choose Puntarena for Mexican Pacific seafood in Casa de México. Select a restaurant table or bar reservation; continuous bar opening does not establish full restaurant-menu service.

• Ticuí

  Comal tortillas and contemporary shared dishes

  Ticuí is a sister restaurant of Puntarena with its own address, dining setting and reservation channel. Its published concept centres on handmade corn tortillas cooked on a comal and contemporary plates for sharing. Fish, crab and octopus are among the described preparations.

  Choose Ticuí for comal tortillas and contemporary Mexican sharing dishes. Use its own reservation route and the service for your date; sister restaurant Puntarena has different arrangements.

For contemporary cantina and occasion dining

• La Única

  A northern-Mexican cantina opposite Retiro

  La Única’s northern-Mexican cantina concept pairs tacos, seafood and grilled meats with cocktails and music. Its operator-linked menu also lists vegetables and salads, with dairy or meat in some preparations; the file’s 2023 upload path does not establish today’s full menu.

  Choose La Única for a contemporary cantina meal opposite Retiro. Use the current Alcalá 87 address and distinguish ordinary dining, weekday breakfast and weekend brunch.

• Taquería del Alamillo

  A traditional Mexican restaurant in Plaza del Alamillo

  Grupo La Chocolata names Taquería del Alamillo among its restaurants and locates it in Plaza del Alamillo. Madrid tourism gives number 8 and describes traditional Mexican food and a terrace. Its listing was last updated in May 2025.

  Choose Taquería del Alamillo for its Plaza del Alamillo setting and traditional Mexican identity. The group identifies the restaurant, while current menu, opening and terrace arrangements need the venue’s own confirmation.

For a contemporary taco-bar meal

• Mawey Taco Bar

  Contemporary tacos at Mawey’s Olid branch

  Mawey’s menu combines tacos with beef, pork, duck, chicken, fish or seafood, plus sharing dishes such as huitlacoche quesadillas with Oaxaca cheese. Many options are listed as two units, alongside cocktails, agave spirits and non-alcoholic drinks.

  Choose the Olid 6 branch for contemporary tacos and a low- or high-table meal. Sunday opening is inconsistent across the operator’s pages, and gluten-free adaptations retain a shared-kitchen warning.

Match the meal to the venue and service

Barracuda MX, Puntarena and Ticuí share Mexican coastal influences but have different menus, addresses and booking arrangements. Barracuda’s reduced afternoon menu and Puntarena’s separate bar service are material planning distinctions.

La Única’s current home is Alcalá 87. Can Chan Chán is at Serrano 47, separate from other restaurants in that building and the chef’s earlier projects. Tepic and Entre Suspiro y Suspiro publish day-specific kitchen or meal windows.

Taquería del Alamillo is named by its operator group, while the older tourism listing does not establish today’s complete menu or service. Mawey’s Olid branch has a Sunday-opening conflict and an explicit shared-kitchen notice. Sal Mestiza is the separate cantina at Lagasca 103, not MESTIZA in Valencia.
