This was my first time here! My friend recommended it and brought us today. When we arrived, there was a long line outside -- we were quoted a 20-minute wait but ended up waiting over an hour. Let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it. I ordered the poblano chilaquiles with an egg over medium, and they were incredible. The sauce was creamy, spicy, and full of flavor -- I left hours ago and I'm still craving more! I also had the Miche-Lucas michelada, which was sooo good -- sweet, tasty, and refreshing. I definitely should've ordered a second one. Highly recommend both! Can't wait to come back.

Excellent service. Beautiful place. Great food. And nice ambiance. In the morning it's an amazing breakfast place with mimosas and french toast. In the afternoon it's the best seafood place around. Amazing drinks also. This place goes above and beyond on the service.

On Valentine's Day, we had an enjoyable evening dining at this exquisite restaurant. The ambiance was exceptional, characterized by a vibrant and positive atmosphere. The restaurant featured live music, and the waitress was bilingual in Spanish and English, which was a delightful addition. The cuisine was exceptional, and I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

El ambiente es muy bonito y el servicio excelente. Nos gustó mucho el taco, las conchas super frescas que nos ofrecieron, y los chilaquiles estaban buenos también. Un ambiente muy bonito y sofisticado los precios están muy acorde al lugar. Pero la comida es muy buena la verdad y el servicio no se diga.

Great tasting food & service. The seafood was so fresh and flavorful! It was a family celebration ambiance with a lot of birthdays.

Excellent restaurant if you liked seafood. The ambience and atmosphere is on point if you like sports and music. My family and I love the food and had a great time. We made reservations to seat in the terrace and were able to walk to our table as soon as we arrived. The service was great and the view from the terrace is superb. We tried different dishes and they were all excellent, except for the campechano cocktail. I will definitely be going back to this place.

One of the best seafood places I have experienced. First, the parking can be valeted or you grab a ticket and pay it later. The cost is usually 5.00USD. As soon as you walk in, this place is packed. The hostess will most of the time open the door for you. We were warmly greeted and was brought to our table in the patio area. The view is beautiful. Our servers were constantly working like clock work and very attentive to us. Service here is excellent. We ordered so many different seafood plates and everything was fresh and flavorful. The food was excellent. The drinks here are great. The bartender has a heavy hand which is nice! **If you have children, no problem. There is a small section where the kids can play these video games and keep them occupied. Great idea! This restaraunt has a night clubish vibe and the energy is great here. The staff here is on point and they aim to please. If you are ever in the area, please stop by. You won't be disappointed!

Food was ok, but the service is like dinning in a five star restaurant OMG !! Our waiter Alejandro was awesome !! The octopus was fatty and the sauce was greasy hated . The California taco was good ,fettuccine Alfredo was whatever but my daughter ordered this the sangria was good .

Food was great. Shrimp tacos bomb but my favorite was the squid taco yup it was great . The service here is A1 five star. The ambiance is loud and modern. People here come well dressed and ready to party. The tab was well worth it

We love coming here! We like both locations! And I already wrote a 5 star review on the other location! And I'll do the same here! This place is just so phenomenal! I love it love it love it! I go here at least twice a month maybe even more! I recently went to have an early bday celebration! And obviously without a doubt was amazing! I ordered for the first time the mazapán martini which was very very tasty, very delicious, not too strong not too light either. The mazapán they put inside gives it such an amazing flavor. My mon ordered her usual Michelucas as well as my fiancé. My sister got her horchata. For food we love to ordered the aguachiles Reyna! Super spicy but we love spicy good so we live getting those. We also ordered the camarones roca! You can't go wrong with that! The spicy Mayo suace they put it's so amazing! Pretty Much is breaded shrimp sautéed with spicy Mayo sauce. We got camarones cucaracha. They are very tasty! I ordered my favorite taco quesa Lion. It's very delicious! The tortillas is not corn is harina and uff amazing amazing! I also ordered my tostada especial with fresh tuna very delicious! My ordered tostadas de ceviche shrimp tacos. Gobernador. And a grilled big as fish!!! Everything was so so amazing! For dessert they brought out little pingüinos one for mon one for me because it was our bdays! They bring a little sparkle candle with music and a big happy birthday sign! Very very cute!! They make you feel very loved and very appreciated as a customer. Our server was phenomenal! Great great custoemr service. We also ordered a crepe and the churros! For all that our check was only 90 bucks! Like wow!! Amazing we prices as well!! We will Keep coming here!!! I highly recommend this plac

The service is great! I really like what we ordered! Very fresh seafood . I'll be back. Ask for the drinks of the rocks. They are even better

If I could I'll give them 20 . Food was fresh and amazing. I had the botana especial. Be careful is for 5 people. I didn't know. It was amazing after cheering with everyone I had to take some to go. We came back 5 hrs later because my friend wanted to eat the spicy octopus tacos wich were amazing. So I ask if I could eat my leftovers , they said no problem. The food was amazing, now the service made all even better they like their job because each employee we came in contact with when over the top to help. Will be back..

Had the best scallops tostados ever! The menu indicated it was spicy, and I can handle some spice, but not too much. It was only a little spicy with a great lime sauce. Language was a little challenging because of my limited Spanish, but the staff was very nice and patient with my lack of understanding. read more

One of my favorite places for some good seafood and they just opened this location so let me just say that the view is a pretty good thing. I love their Aguachile Reyna a lot, it's one of my favorite dishes from Lion Fish! super spicy (just how I like it) and the presentation looks sooo pretty tho that you just stair at it for a while and take it all in until you eat it, amazing by the way. Another one of the dishes I absolutely love is their "Lonja Lion Fish" OMG this dish is sooo good and you can actually share this with several people because it's just a lot! the fish is cooked to perfection and the mango you get on the side with the fish gives it a very amazing taste (I love mango also by the way). Also they have pretty good drinks there and my favorite that I like ordering when I visit them is with some Mezcal so the "Deseo de Frida" and a "Flor de Piña" would be great to company your food if your into cocktails and if you haven't tried Mezcal these would be a good way to introduce yourself to them, you will definitely love them. This place is perfect for any occasion, for a date, family, work related or just to go and get some lunch by yourself is suited for any occasion. If their is sitting available outside on the terrace I would definitely ask to sit there the view is great! Definitely going back for more soon! read more

Great ambiance and food is great. A little pricy for TJ but worth it. Recommend the lion fish tostada, fried fish, and Octopus. Also, ask for the onions and chili with soy sauce with your meal. They have an outdoor dining area too read more

I recently visited on Sunday, January 23rd around 3:00pm, my family and I had made a reservation it was at lion fish la terraza. Everything was great from the food to the drinks even our waiter was super nice "Antonio." Unfortunately, I payed with my visa debit card and once we were at the the border I realized they charged my card TWICE! The bill was around $150 and my bank showed TWO different transactions of $150! Of course I called I told them that they charged me twice and the manager/supervisor I believe his last name is "Perez" said that it wasn't true because they can't find a double charge. How can it not be true when my bank already took out $300!!? Something is for sure going on and I'm sure I'm not the first customer this happens to because when I called all of the employees I talked to weren't surprised. It's a way they have to rob customers! I'm sure the waiter had nothing to do with it but his supervisor is the one that charged me. I'm definitely not going back. If you decide to go do not pay with any type of card just do cash. read more

“We had the camarones roca as appetizers (battered fried shrimp in a sweet sauce) I also had an aguachile flight (traditional, mango, tamarind, and salsa negra) as my main entree.”

Mimosa Mia brings the party to brunch the moment you walk in. The space--shared with Lionfish in the evenings--is decked out in festive decor, buzzing with high-energy, almost celebratory vibes that make it feel like an occasion even if it's just Sunday morning. Service was a bit of a mixed note. There's no shortage of staff, but warmth and attentiveness didn't quite match the lively atmosphere. Nothing bad, just not especially memorable. The mimosa flight is clearly the star of the show. Four different flavors arrive with a bit of flair, turning a simple drink order into a mini spectacle. It's fun, it's Instagram-friendly, and honestly, it sets the tone for the whole experience. Food-wise, things were solid but not standout. The birria tacos were flavorful and satisfying, but surprisingly small--easily the tiniest birria tacos I've come across, especially given the price point. That theme carried across the menu a bit: good taste, but portions that leave you wanting just a little more. Unexpected highlight? The supervised playroom. If you're dining with kids, this is a game changer. My nephews disappeared into it instantly--no hesitation, no goodbyes--which gave the adults a chance to actually relax and enjoy brunch. Overall, Mimosa Mia is more about the vibe than the food. Come for the energy, the drinks, and the experience--and maybe don't arrive starving. read more
