    Grilled cheese Octopus taco.  Super tender meat.
    Shane S.

    This is my favorite restaurant in Mexico. The food tastes great, they have the best Michalada I have ever had, hands down, and the prices are rediculously low. Last week 3 of us went there and had the following for $40 dollars: 1. Huge michalada, 2 lemonades and a shot of tequila. 2. 3 large Chewins grilled fish filets (has some kind of Baja sauce, cheese and shrimp on top of the fish) 3. 1 octopus and 1 marlin grilled cheese taco 4. 12 raw chocolate clams on the half shell. This would easily be a $80 dollar meal in the states. The service was impeccable and fast. There was like 15 servers. The open wood fire grills and everything else about this place just puts a huge smile on my face every time I go.

    Pescado Sarandeado estilo Chewin
    Martin S.

    This place was highly recommended to me, but to be honest I was not impressed. The service was slow... They only serve one kind of beer (Tecate Light)... The pescado Sarandeado was average to me, but was not a fan of the toppings. Cheese and sauces tasted cheap. I tried the Marlin Fish Tacos and i was not a fan of them either. Maybe that just wasn't my kind of taste? But I felt like it was overly fishy tasting? But again, overall I was not impressed.

    Look from second floor, they have a play area.

    This is honestly an A-Ok place, nothing very impressive. The Grilled Fish is not very good a little bit dry. The aguachile is not very spicy. My parents recommend the Marlin Tacos == En verdad es un lugar bastante promedio y no creo nada especial. El pescado sarandeado no me sorprendio y se supone es la especialidad, en mi opinión estaba algo seco. Mis papas pidieron el taco de Marlin y dicen que estaba muy rico.

    Salmon a la Chewin

    If you're in TJ, this place is a must!!!! The fish is to die for, make sure to order it "Chewin" style! That means you get melted cheese and shrimp on top. We order both the fish and salmon a la Chewin style. And we get quesadillas a la Chewin. Yummy cheese and shrimp and a side salad. Hope you enjoy!

    Stars reflect the service provided. Sent food back (asked for no cheese), however food came back extremely salty. Beware.

    Nice place to grab lunch! Fast we walked in just two of us and got a table right away but don't…read moreexpect that if it's more I think we got lucky. Either way looked fast paced got people in n out so shouldn't be a wait. A bit loud inside with TVs and music playing. The food was pretty good I liked the cooked camarones they had the best and the mescal drink. The churros were nice nothing to crazy on flavor but presentation wise if fun and attention seeking so plus plus if you usually order fajitas and like the eyes on you. The jicama taco is pretty interesting fresh and taste great not a usual thing but good. Our server Gerardo Rodriguez was awesome the whole time he made sure we have everything we need and still check on us the entire visit

Todo iba bien hasta que le llevaron una rebanada de pastel y le cantaron las mañanitas, le cantaron la clásica mordida y mi hijo no quería, pues le atascaron el pastel en la cara y el betún y gran parte del pastel se le metió en la nariz, mi hijo estaba muy enojado y la verdad es que se sintió como una humillación, uno sabrá lo que hace en su casa, pero en un lugar público y gente que no te conoce esto es de muy mal gusto y hasta humillante. Pero eso si, el mesero exigiendo la propina, hablé con el gerente y me dijo que tratan de evitar eso, pero la verdad yo no vi que trataran de evitarlo, al contrario, está de sobra decir que no regresaremos.

    We stopped at here last minute. We were pleasantly surprised. The seafood is actually excellent…read more Presentation was also excellent. The tuna tartar was yummy! The grilled lobster was delicioso. Luis our server--and all the employees were pleasant and informative. We will definitely come back. *** Note this restaurant serves A LOT of octopus. It can be very hard if you are an octopus lover like me. Be warned & tell your server up front NO octopus on anything please. They are very accommodating.

    My friend @cheftiffanythomas scrolled through a plethora of seafood restaurants here in Tijuana and…read morelanded on this wonderful gem. What sold us was the photo of the Octopus SARTENEADO, & yes it was tasty, soft, & slow cooked in a well seasoned bath of butter. The rice has a hint of saffron, and the vegetables were nicely roasted. The table salsa is excellent and the complementary chips are doused in a bright red savory chili powder. We also ordered the trio of aguachiles, prepared with 3 different chiles; one green, one red, & lastly a dark blackened chili. Our favorite was the black aguachiles. They have plenty of mixed drinks & beer to offer, we had the hibiscus drink with mezcal. Everything is a 5 out of 5, including customer service. Heads up it's a very busy restaurant and parking is valet only. If you happen to have children with you they also have a separate play area for the kiddos; which is great if you happen to have an energetic toddler that needs a temporary distraction. The ambiance overall is very nice. I did notice it's somewhat casual to formal dinning, and very well staffed. It''s a great restaurant & I highly reccomend it.
