Temple: Mariscos del Pacífico, Music and Mexican Flavors in Roma Norte

Templo is a contemporary seafood restaurant located at Colima 55, Roma Norte, in the Cuauhtémoc borough of Mexico City. Its proposal takes as a starting point the flavors of the Mexican Pacific, with references mainly from Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Baja California. Fish, shrimp, aguachiles, tostadas, and preparations with Mexican ingredients are part of a cuisine designed to discover different sea flavors in a casual and unpretentious environment.

Dishes that have conquered chefs and musicians

Part of the attraction of Templo lies in those dishes that generate word-of-mouth recommendations. The fish tacos accompanied by habanero sauce have become favorites among people connected to the culinary industry.

Reasons to Visit Templo

Flavors of the Mexican Pacific from a contemporary perspective

The cuisine is one of the main reasons to visit Templo. Its inspiration travels through Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Baja California through preparations where seafood is combined with ingredients such as green chili, hoja santa, quelites, macha sauce, peanuts, chapulines, and pickled vegetables. The proposal allows for recognizable flavors from different Mexican regions without being limited to the traditional preparations of a seafood restaurant.

A selection of drinks focused on Mexico

The drink menu maintains the same line of national identity. The selection includes Mexican projects and small productions from different regions, featuring wines from the country and artisanal mezcals from Guerrero. This is complemented by the Clamato Templo with pickles, one of the most requested specialties and one of the elements that distinguish the restaurant's experience.

Music selected by national artists

The musical ambiance has a clear intention and goes beyond simply using a playlist as a backdrop. Templo often features a lineup of national DJs and explores Latin rhythms, tropical sounds, and various branches of electronic music. This combination allows a meal to naturally extend into an afternoon or evening of music without the need to change locations.

A small space that adapts to different occasions

With a capacity for approximately 45 people, Templo maintains a scale that works for both small gatherings and organized celebrations and meetings. The establishment has space for events and offers promotions for birthdays.
