    Cabanna in Hipódromo delivered across the board. I ordered an assortment of tacos--the milanesa was easily the highlight. Crispy, cheesy, topped with fries, and somehow still balanced. The fried shrimp taco with chipotle mayo and avocado was crunchy and well-executed, while the carne asada with guac and pico kept things classic and satisfying. The raw shrimp aguachile served on thin jícama slices with a smoky black salsa was unforgettable--bright, spicy, and full of bold flavor. The jícama added a clean crunch that tied it all together. The shrimp salad was fresh and colorful with strawberries, candied nuts, and goat cheese, and the salsa verde cream pasta with shrimp was rich and tasty, without feeling heavy. Service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and on point the whole time. The bar is also worth a mention: wide drink menu, good cocktails, and a great vibe to hang around after the meal. Overall, Cabanna hits that sweet spot of flavor, variety, and energy. I'll be back.

    This is our new " go-to" for fancy dinner in Tiajuana! From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave you're just in a perfect dining environment. The white staff our first class arm meal was a little bit of this and that and we shared it and there was no problem extra clean plates and silverware and napkins were bought in between each of our courses. And we had decided that we had a little bit too much seafood this trip so we decided to add in the pork ribs that was such a perfect addition! This strawberry apple pear, pecan goat cheese salad without a shrimp was sweet and savory at the same time. We absolutely devoured that dish we hadn't disagreement as to which of the survey samplers were the best. I enjoyed the one with the fried mung beans Asian style, and my friend was more of a straight tuna girl. Both were delicious extra wasabi was brought quickly. The drinks were good. It's warm outside in the covered patio with the heaters during the winter and that almost seems like a more lively place to sit highly highly recommend this restaurant.

    The food was amazing! Service was great! The ambiance was relaxing (we sat outside). I highly recommend eating here. From drinks to desserts, everything was delicious! Check out the photos. You do have to pay for parking. We just walked in no reservations.

    This is a wonderful seafood restaurant. Service was amazing. The tacos tasted great. I tried a ribeye dish that was OK. It's a very trendy environment.

    Cabanna in Tijuana offers a vibrant dining experience with a menu that caters to diverse palates, featuring particularly well regarded seafood. Pro tip: It gets busy during peak times with a decently long wait. You can make a reservation online through their site, but it'll be in Spanish. Google translate helps a ton of you don't know the language. My recent visit included their rib eye, fettuccine, and the memorable Especial de Camarón. While I can personally vouch for the enjoyable nature of the rib eye and fettuccine, the shrimp dish truly stood out, echoing the positive sentiments often found in reviews about Cabanna's fresh and flavorful seafood preparations... think perfectly cooked, tasty, and satisfying. I asked the waiter for another of the ceviche, but they seemed to have forgotten it. That's ok though, because I was super full after the meal. But really it was so, so good! Beyond the main courses, the restaurant boasts a varied selection of coffees, perfect for an after meal indulgence. For those whose Spanish might be a bit rusty, it's advisable to brush up on a few phrases. While the staff do speak some English, communication flows best in Spanish. That being said, the waiters are notably helpful and will make a genuine effort to assist regardless of any language barrier. A convenient feature for international visitors is their payment system; they accept cards and will bring a portable machine to your table for the transaction and they accept Discover, which is nice due to their lack of international fees. Families with young children will also appreciate the availability of baby high chairs and attentive staff. They often asked about our baby making sure that we are comfortable. They also have a kids menu and gave us a crayon too, though our infant is too young to use it, haha. The atmosphere at Cabanna is lively, and it's clear this is a popular spot, especially in the evenings. However, this busyness can sometimes translate to a slight dip in attentiveness from the staff. During these bustling periods, a friendly reminder or two might be necessary to ensure your needs are met. Overall, Cabanna provides a strong dining option with flavorful dishes, especially their seafood. While there's slight room for improvement in service consistency during peak busy times, the helpful staff and tasty food, particularly standout shrimp specialties, make it a worthwhile visit in Tijuana.

    Pan de Elote/ Corn Cake. Why is corn not a more prevalent dessert grain?! This was sweet and moist without being cloying. 8/10 Recommend.

    Amazing experience! Delicious food, attentive service, beautiful decor, excellent prices. I'm allergic to cilantro, which all three salsas they brought to the table had. Our server immediately removed them, and told us that he was going to ask the kitchen if they could make something special and spicy for us. Didn't ask, just let us know. A few minutes later, this smokey, spicy avocado salad appeared and WOW! ¡Muy Delicioso! If we come back through TJ, Cabanna is a MUST stop!!

    My friend brought me to Cabanna as she frequents it when she comes down to Tijuana. The restaurant is located at the upper level of the mall in which you park at the lot and receive a parking ticket upon the entrance. I could imagine this restaurant being busy especially in summer as it has a beautiful patio space with boho light fixtures and the dining tables resembling a beach cabana. I couldn't eat any meat or seafood at the time, so I opted for a Burrata and Tomato Salad. It was a generous portion of leafy greens. A burrata ball was sliced in half, and the salad was topped with sliced almonds, cherry tomatoes, and a sweet sauce. To drink I had a popping boba tea drink called Té Helado Pops. It was a peach tea and the popping boba was sweet, but I couldn't distinguish the fruity flavor. My salad was filling and refreshing although I wish I could have tried their seafood! The service was extremely attentive! My friends ordered their battered shrimp, and shrimp tostadas all which looked very appetizing. Their tostadas are so light and airy and their salsas are packed with flavor. Really great first impression and I will hopefully be back to give their seafood a chance!

    This is my favorite restaurant to go to when my dog is in Tijuana for teeth cleaning. The food is super fresh, and the salsas are delicious. Great service too!

    Cabanna is an upscale seafood restaurant in Tijuana. The seafood was great, flavors, presentation, all absolutely amazing. The portions were more like appetizers, not like meals. Small. The pricing was decent, but when you factor in that you are paying for appetizer portions, it makes you think twice about returning to Cabannas. This is the pace to be if you want to be sent as a high class, classy, and elegant socialite. This is where all the cool and rich people hang out. Loved the food, was caught off guard by their smaller than normal portion sizes.

    This is our favorite restaurant to go in Tijuana ... the customer service you get here is impeccably perfect . There's a few things we highly recommend.... The jicama taco filled with coconut shrimp and a splash of some kind of citrus salsa , the quesito taco it's like a quesadilla taco with shrimp and slices of avocado . The ribeye taquitos and we tried ribeye steak that was brought out in a small Grill with asparagus and potatoes to drink I had a corona and shots , my husband likes fruity drinks got the tamarindo slushy martini and the cucumber drink . The restaurant has a mix of art deco / NY style vibes , they also have cabanas outside for seating if you feel like catching a breeze or a little bit of sun . This is our favorite and we will never get tired of coming here , the experience and service is above and beyond and I wished we had that more in other establishments...

    In Tijuana for business and Cabanna was recommended by local teammates. The location was a short walk from hotel. Great staff and menu. Will return next trip.

Their breakfast goes from American eggs and bacon with the best potatoes to wonderful burrito type breakfast items. Their menudo is great and they have great Mexican meats as well. Lunch and dinner is about the same. They make Mexican style fish and steak that is just perfect every time. All of their Mexican dishes are just wonderful. You can't go wrong. They even have bottled water--never drink the water there, just don't. They have the best rice and beans. The service is great. They make you feel right at home and even if you don't speak Spanish, most speak English and you will figure it out because they will help you. The prices are fair for what you get. At dinner I consider it fine dining. It is all good and you will be happy. The place is also clean and super comfortable.

The Zona Rio location has a small dining area, that is very popular with both the locals and visitors. It is easy to see why. Their menu does not over dose on the standard morning and afternoon items that you would find anyplace. However, this is the first restaurant I've been to in Tijuana, that does not have an English menu.... so I had to labor through the Spanish menu. But, they do have unique dishes, thus making the visit adventurous, because it is difficult to choose. I went back and forth, and finally settled for their 3-egg omelet with asparagus and sheep cheese. It came with refried beans, strings of carrots and beets, small fired up tostadas and fresh tortillas (both blue and yellow corn). A small side of soggy chilaquiles was also served. A small flavorful salsa tray is also provided with 3 options, ranging from mild to hot. The asparagus spears were thin, cut up into small pieces and sautéed with mild spices. The outer egg covering soft and not overdone. If anything, there was too much sheep cheese, in certain portions of the omelet. I say this because it was an asparagus omelet, and it, instead of the cheese, should have been the star. Still, it did not take away from the other commendable aspects of the complete entree and its accompaniments. Before the meal, a small refreshing fruit plate is served. Coffee and overall service here, was mucho excellente.

The presentation of the food is nice and it tastes good. Some of the dishes that I have tried are: Tarahumara (portobello omelet), Xitomatl (entomatadas), Huichol (chilaquiles con cecina), Mulli (mole Oaxaqueño), Teotihuacán (chilaquiles con chorizo y huevo), and Coyoltzin (puntas de filete). My favorite has been the Coyoltzin because the meat is tender and juicy. I also love that they bring salsas to the table. I like the chiles with oil and vinegar that they make. Overall, a great place to have breakfast or lunch with friends and family.
