Animal has been opened a little over a year now and it is fine dinning at its best. This place is expensive so get over it. Make a reservation, you just must. Have your hotel do it or call them. It is owned by CDMZ I think, it reminds me of one. The moment you walk in you are made to feel comfortable and happy. It is quite beautiful. The service is true fin dinning service. You will want for nothing. The entire staff is great. Dressy, but business casual is just fine. Go in a armless tee and cargo shorts and you will be out of place. They have an amazing selection of food. They have sushi, empanadas, steaks, tacos and all sorts of small plates. We get a bunch and share. Their sushi is so fresh and their steak is cooked to perfection. They even have some great soups now and again. There is something for everyone here. Parking is valet for a fee. It is a wonder, it really is.
Animal Tijuana, is a Mexican and Japanese fine dining restaurant at the Shops at Landmark. It is located on the upper floor in a mesmerizing dining room with eye catching and stunning, vintage chandeliers. There is soft music in the background and captivating decor, all around. The moment you walk in, there are multiple servers greeting you and escorting you to your table. You know right away that it's going to be a memorable evening. I actually did not know that there was Japanese fare here too, and I tried to concentrate on the local Mexico dishes. I am not a big eater so in order to taste a variety I tried to choose appetizers and small bites. The evening began with complimentary salsas, three of them, with chips. What is unique is that their chips are long rectangular strips of different composition. The salsas were fresh. I liked the green one the best and once I had finished these, they brought another batch of chips, but these had a mild but satisfying cheese taste. Both of the chip varieties were spectacular. My first choice for food, was the almond crusted green beans that are drizzled with sweet and sour sauce. This clearly had a Japanese tint to it. It is a large potion I only finished half of it. My only comment on this dish is that I couldn't taste the almonds. It looked more like it was a tempura type fry. The sweet and sour sauce dominated the dish. My second selection, was the popular (according to my server), the Taco Richi (ribbeye, cheese crust, pork cracklings, and avocado). Comes as one piece. This was superb. Finally, more Tacos, the Beef Steak Gaonera (Hand-made tortillas, guacamole and pico de gallo). Comes as two pieces. This too was equally good. I also succumbed and ordered a side order of french fries too. At the end, they surprised me with a complimentary dessert. A small potion of their cheesecake, which had four caramelized macadamia nuts on top. It was different. Overall, it was a dining experience that was unmatched and one that can give LA restaurants, serious competition. I had at least five different servers taking care of me right through the night. Needless to say, the service was outstanding.
Animal recently opened up in Tijuana, but it brought all the energy and excellence it's known for in CDMX. You can feel the reputation--service is next-level. There are so many staff around to help that you literally don't want for anything. Water's filled, plates cleared, recommendations offered... it's all handled. The food? Incredible. I ordered the short rib and it was rich, tender, and packed with flavor. They've also got sushi, tacos, and all kinds of creative small plates. Definitely something for everyone! Great drink options too, whether you're into mezcal, wine, or something more playful. And the space itself is stunning. Super modern, but still warm. Fancy, but not too fancy, you know? Would be perfect for date night or just dinner with friends. If you've heard the hype--yep, it lives up to it. Can't wait to go back.
Went last week on Thursday for my 35th, wanted to see what the hype was about, alongside my family. The place is nice and the vibes are cool and all but the service is terrible. Our server never brought out my sisters dish, we basically all ate and she just watched us eat our dinner. We had to remind our server twice, he never apologized, he just blamed it on the cook. This made us think he had forgot to put in her order. Also, we were seated right at the entrance where all the traffic of the guests and servers was, made it a little uncomfortable.
Had a fantastic experience here for my first restaurant in Mexico. Terrific service (Thank you Omar!), delicious food and fun atmosphere. I had so many wonderful dishes, I can't wait to come back! The salmon ceviche is an absolute must try.
Over hyped over rated and portions are for children.. very disappointed I paid $300 dollars and had to buy more food after since the portions were tiny.. the pictures I posted is for 2 people.. specially the meat was so little and small for two people.. will never ever go back .. it felt like a scam.. a regular Korean or Japanese bbq in California is 10 times better quality than this restaurant and way cheaper...

Crossed the boarder for dinner in Tijuana. No hablo español. Thank goodness I was with people who did. Service was 5 stars, food was 5 stars, parking and navigating the multilevel shopping mall was 1 star. We ordered it all... appetizers including an almond covered asparagus, all kinds of delicious cocktails including one that came in a Chinese to go container and one that was on fire plus wine, a giant boat of sushi, then tacos and tostadas. Finished off with a pistachio dessert. Thank you to the staff for a very attentive evening. Muchas gracias. read more

Para ser sincero este es el restaurante más perron al que yo e ido este último año. El mesero y más que nada su asistente nos trataron de una manera que se sentía pariente y urgente. Todos los platos llegaban a buen tiempo y venían con linda explicación. La horchata está suavecita y cremosa, el plato de 5 tacos estaba calientito y los condimentos bien frescos. Su sabor era una representación adecuada de el taco. El Rollo Roca tenía un arrocito calientito con el relleno frío creando una textura única acompañada con un crunch. El rollo Animal fue una sorpresa, pepino en lugar de alga con una cremita de coco bien dulce. El dumpling de costillita con la cama de maíz y tamarindo era agridulce, caliente, y bien bien suavecita la costillita. A mi no me interesa el wagyu steak pero la hamburguesa wagyu con papas truffle fueron algo chingon. Si están en Tijuana se lo recomiendo que lo prueben más que sea una vez. Ya regreso read more
