    If you are looking for a different type of place for breakfast in Tijuana, you will discover the…read morename, Marenca. 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.

I really hope that they bring back their full menu. Service is always amazing shadow to all the amazing employees. You guys truly make the experience of going to this restaurant, what it is. Ambience is what you can imagine. Very calm and great place to have lunch or dinner or even breakfast.

    I came here on a Sunday around 9:30 PM, shortly before they closed at 10 PM. Despite arriving late,…read morewe were seated quickly. The restaurant is a large space with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the atmosphere is really cute and inviting. The service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and checked on us throughout the meal. He even had a portable charger available for my phone, which was very convenient. What we ordered: *Aguachile Reina: This was delicious and had a little kick to it. If you're sensitive to spice, this might not be the best choice, but for those who enjoy a little spice, it's a great option. *Rock Shrimp: Absolutely phenomenal. This was probably one of my favorites of the night. The flavors were amazing, and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. *Tuna Tartare: Another delicious dish. The portion size was generous, and they bring out chips to enjoy with it. We also enjoyed tequila on the rocks. They have a large liquor and cocktail menu. The food came out in less than 10 minutes, and everything tasted fresh. This is definitely a spot I'd recommend checking out when you're in the area. It's conveniently located just across the border, making it an easy stop for great food, good service, and a fun atmosphere.

They never made me feel rushed and were incredibly kind the entire time. The hamachi tostada was absolutely delicious, definitely the highlight of my meal. The shrimp taco was good, but it didn't stand out quite as much as the tostada. Even with a bit of a language barrier, every server and staff member was so friendly, patient, and welcoming. The service really made the experience. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Tijuana.

The steak and shrimp were wonderful, and that salsa served with the chips was like nothing I have tasted before. To top it all off, the service was amazing, and the environment was so welcoming. We had a filet mignon (filet mignon / flame of yawn) with shrimp and two beers, which came out to about $48 USD. The food is truly outstanding, especially for the price. I will definitely return the next time I come to Tijuana. Please tell the chef how much I enjoyed my meal! "¡La cena de esta noche estuvo buenísima! El caldo de res del que leí estaba riquísimo, y hasta tal vez intente hacerlo en casa. El filete mignon y los camarones estuvieron maravillosos, y la salsa que dan con los totopos no se parece a nada que haya probado antes. Para rematar, el servicio fue increíble y el ambiente muy acogedor. Pedimos un filete mignon con camarones y dos cervezas, y salió como en $48 dólares. La comida está con madre, especialmente por el precio. ¡Definitivamente voy a regresar la próxima vez que visite Tijuana! Por favor, dígale al chef cuánto disfruté mi comida."
