Tuna tostada · Mexico City

A crisp fried corn tortilla topped with chipotle mayo, sliced raw yellowfin tuna, sliced avocado, fried leeks and a chipotle reduction. Mexico City's most-copied modern dish, invented at Contramar in 1998.

The tuna tostada was created in 1998 by Gabriela Camara at Contramar on Calle Durango in Roma Norte, when she retro-engineered the simple coastal Mexican tostada with raw tuna, chipotle mayo and fried leeks. The dish became the city's most-copied modern Mexican dish and has been the Contramar lunch order since. Contramar is recognised in the 2024 Michelin Guide Mexico City selection.
