Set in Mexico City, Mexico, Mi Compa Chava reads as a seafood restaurant rather than a generic listing. The draw is freshness, clean handling and the kitchen's confidence with the catch; at a polished mid-to-high price point, it should be judged as a polished dinner worth planning ahead for. It is most compelling for diners seeking seafood-led cooking where freshness and restraint matter, especially if the night calls for something more considered than a safe default.
