    Villa Marina, has been on my Tijuana radar and I finally was able to make it happen. The magnet to…read moreget here, was that I recently discovered they were the only restaurant that was advertising Puerto Nuevo lobster. So I got there on my first evening, and that's what I ordered. It took about 40 minutes to get to the table, but once it arrived, it was beautifully presented cooked optimally. The portion seemed a little smaller than I expected (came in only one 600 gm size). The lobster that was split in half sat on a moist bed of Spanish rice, came with refried beans and freshly grilled vegetables. See my pictures. The freshly made thin tortillas were superb, but one had to be careful or they would dry soon. After you finish, they give you an apperetiv, in a small cylindrical crystal glass. Basically, think of it like Kahlúa with milk, vanilla and ice. It was fantastic. The chips and salsas that preluded the main order were also superb. It is rarely and not always, that I go back to the same restaurant when I'm on a short trip. On top of that the next day? Yes, here it had to be the exception. So this second time, I was here to try the fish soup (exceptional) and the grilled loin of red snapper. I've heard of a pork loin, a beef loin, but this was a first. The entree is a large portion. A thick, succulent, colorful, well charred and grilled portion of seafood, with firm texture and spicy taste. Service here was high class, on both occasions. Two exceptional and hard to forget dining visits, in Tijuana. Wow.

    We had the pleasure of dining at Villa Marina. We ordered several dishes, including the…read morethree-flavor aguachiles, grilled octopus, and the Gohan Roll. Everything was delicious. The Gohan Roll was delicious and had a nice spicy kick, and the octopus ala brazas was excellent not chewy or too soft but tender. The best part of all was the flan for dessert. The restrooms were very clean. We received excellent service from Angel he was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for seafood. Tuvimos el placer de comer en villa marina. Ordenamos varias cosas incluyendo los aguachiles trí sabor, pulpo alas brazas y gohan roll. Todo estaba muy delicioso el Gohan roll estaba muy rico y picosito, el pulpo alas brazas estaba muy bueno con su arroz. Lo mejor de todo era el flan para postre. Los baños estaban muy limpios. Fuimos atendidos muy bien por Angel. Recomiendo si buscan comer mariscos que vengan aquí.
