This place is the gold standard for seafood in Tijuana, in my humble opinion. Literally been here a dozen times, at least, and enjoyed the service and food. FYI, I'm not the biggest fan of seafood, but the mazatleca tostado, costa azul taco are my faves. I write this review because I finally had the fish taco and literally my whole world was flipped upside down. This is an experience you have to try when in Tijuana. Try the squid ink on the side with your order, my lady highly recommended read more

Place is amazing great service and this food is sooooooooo good everyone I have taken here has loved this place

Food was excellent and service was great. We went with a large group and they accommodated us very well.

Had a bunch of different types of tacos, all of which were delicious. Big restaurant, good service, kind of upscale/ pricier for TJ but you get quality for what you're paying. Would definitely come back. read more

Great food. Love the service. Awesome complimentary beer while you wait. The seafood was amazing. Will totally go back there.

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise to my friend and me on a recent paiscita to Tijuana. It is a fairly large restaurant that is adequately staffed and very well managed. My friend had a whole lobster for around $20 and I had the seafood stew in a molcajete. We shared the tostada sampler as an appetizer. The prices are reasonable and the food absolutely fresh and delicious. I imagine that everything on their menu is good. We returned on a Tuesday to dine there again but unfortunately they were closed for their staff holiday party. At least its good to know that they treat their employees well! read more

Awesome place with great music food and service. Their dishes are unique. I strongly recommend the tostada sample plate. Never had a dish with such variety. read more

Honestly this was so good the red snapper was crunchy, very good seasoning also the longa lion fish was good as well just a tiny hint of spice. Also the desserts were amazing as well I got the Coconut ice cream pretty good. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite to eat while in Tijuana. Just the strawberry margarita had no flavor the alcohol was at the bottom, I recommend the mango margarita instead. read more

Tried it out last night ,and I have to say it was actually pretty good . The place is super cool and the staff is really professional . The drinks are really good ,I got a michelada and aguachiles. They were good ! Also the fish tacos are really good super crunchy and they have plenty of sauce . read more

Be careful!!! The store has high pressure sale practice for trying to up selling me food by repeatedly asking me to buy appetizer even I told the server no. Next, the server asked me if I need expense water, I told him no. Then the server tried to fool /scam me to buy expensive water. Specifically, I only asked to have water with no ice, but the server brought me expensive bottle water without notifying me the price. After the server brought the expensive bottle water to me. I knew this might be a scam and asked the server if the water is free. He told me the bottle water would cost $2.25 each. Then, I asked the server to take the water back. The server refused to take the un-open bottle water back, telling me I ordered the water. I talked to one manager, he took the water back, but the server then brought the water back to me table, telling me again I ordered the water. Then, I talked to another manger, then the server finally took the water back. Finally, the server refused to accept the $2 tip I gave to me once I am done with the meal. PS： I did order the water without ice, but I never ordered the bottle water. read more

Best seafood place, unfortunately I no longer come here due to the ridiculous waiting list, if you are looking to have great seafood in a super crowded place and willing to wait outside in line I recommend this place. read more

This is probably one of the best seafood restaurants to go to. We called to se if they took any reservations and the lady told me they did, but after 7pm. So we made reservations for 7:30pm. We got there at 7:45 and she held our reservation because we called and told her we would be next door at Flyers with our kids. I thought that was very accommodating. We got seated right away. Our drink was delicious. Probably one of the best clamato and beer I've ever had. As we ordered the food, they brought out our drinks. Drinks 10 mins and food another 10mins. Food was amazing. My tacos were on point. Taco de camarón enchilado and taco De chile California con camarón. So much shrimp and flavor. My husband ordered the aguachile sampler. Delicious. That mango aguachile was by far the best I've ever had. Just the right amount of spicy to it. Over all great service, great drinks and great food selection. Would recommend coming here with your family. read more

See all

We crossed in TJ and the walk wasnt too long. Long enough to get us pretty hungry. The staff is really attentive, the seafood is amazing and the drinks aren't very expensive at all. I will be coming back. read more

We had the carnitas and the lion fish house special. Best meal I've had since being in Tijuana for the last 4 months. Go here please!

Lion fish is a real treat from the fanciest To the most casual you cannot go wrong with the food here

One of the best seafood restaurant in Tijuana great service, grest food, valet parking not the best, damage my car bumper, No self parking.

This is definitely the best seafood place in TJ I've ever been to. As soon as you step foot onto this place they make you feel special because they have the best service. The food was absolutely delicious (I had like almost 3 entrées). Also had a long Island iced tea and it was very good. Also, it was super cheap for the quality, service and everything. I will definitely come back. read more

I love this place! Amazing flavor in all the seafood dishes we have ordered! They also have exotic flavorings in foods such as tamarindo aguachile! Delicious! Their aguachile varieties are yum! Their tacos are amazing! We have tried almost all the kinds they offer! Drinks are very good too! The times we have been there we have received exceptional service with very attentive waiters and wonderful suggestions for seafood dishes to try out! The ambiance is upbeat and great for large parties(usually our case)! We are hooked on this place and can't wait to go back when we visit Tijuana again! Highly recommended! read more

Great variety, fresh taste, several options, clean, family oriented, good servings, excellent service, affordable price. Filete Rey , brings complementary flavors with marlin and chipotle, just a little bit too much garlic sal on the vegetables. Don't forget to try the red snapper tostada and the tuna taco. read more

I visited Lion Fish for the first time this week, the restaurant was clean and spacious, the service was attentive, the prices were affordable (although I would rather not having to pay for bottled water). What I was a tad bit dissapointed was in the food. For an appetizer we had jalapeño poppers, great presentation and texture, but bland (had to ask for another sauce to dip), then I ordered the Puerto Rico fish filet the salmon inside was perfectly done, the fillet wrapping it was well generously sized and good, the only thing was the heavy cream sauce atop that was painfully bland. I am willing to give it another go, but I will definitely ask more questions before ordering. read more

The best seafood restaurant in Tijuana, service, quality, prices.

This place is very popular and the wait to be seated is long. However, they offer complementary beers while you wait! I haven't even had the food yet and they already earned 5 stars by me. read more

Great service, food was served fast, love they have a area for kids. Free Valet parking.

the food is DELISH and the drinks are also very yummy, bathroom and restaurant very clean, staff attentive, highly recommend the only bad thing i encountered is the piña colada, it tasted like water but they happily exchanged it for a yummy margarita at no cost! very awesome place :) read more

Food and environment was good. I would recommend getting more people who can speak english to offer higher standard of service to your foreign customers. read more

Everything was great except the warm beer! I recommend it, but check that the beer is cold before they open it.

Delicious tacos, drinks are to die for (get the Mezcalerita) and their appetizers are awesome. Very trendy place, great for drinks or even to watch a game. read more

Best sea food restaurant in tj and service is always on point.. the food is always fresh and you can never go wrong on any plate you order.. I take all my friends when I cross the border read more

One of the best nights I've ever spent at a restaurant! Service was amazing, even though we had to wait 15/20 minutes for a table they served us beer and water for free. All the waiters are so nice and professional, and wear a uniform. We had cocktails (not watery at all), oysters and two main entrees of fish for a total of 36$. Super cheap and the food was really good. You could tell the fish was fresh. They even provided a hanger for my bag at the table! There are two main rooms for eating: inside where most family with kids are, and outside where people can actually smoke cigarettes and the tables and chairs are high. Bathrooms were super clean, they even provide mouth wash. You'll see Americans and Mexicans there, mostly middle and higher class people. I am usually a little concerned about going out in TJ but I must say in this place I felt 100% safe. I recommend it so much to couples and families as well. read more

The best ceviches in Tijuana. My favorite is the black tostadas and the queso lion. The beer and drinks are also really good.

Super hot day and no A/C. Food was fresh and tasty but constant sweating spoilt it

Made a quick little day trip to TJ, cab driver recommended Lion Fish for seafood. It's was great, we had the tuna tartare and a few oysters. Tasted fresh, and the service was awesome. We were seated right away, the manager checked on us a few times and even referred us to a brewery! read more

I love the food in this restaurant...all the Tijuana best quality taste....you have to go

Came here yesterday and was not disappointed! The food was delicious sort of an asian/mex fusion seafood place, the octopus is so tender here and the house special fillet was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and came with some pesto seasoned veggies on the side. The Gin Sangria was light and refreshing with just the right amount of fruit in it and the tamarindo michelada was tasty as well. Tacos here will run you about $2 US, but they are big and not your typical street style tacos. When we finished our waiter helped us out by calling us an Uber to get us back to the border(~$4US). Would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a nice sit-down restaurant with fresh great flavors. read more

one of my favorite spots in tijuana. The food is delicious and never disappoints! I have never had to wait more than 15 mins for a table! great service. read more

awesome place definitely check it out if you are in town great food

WOW! The service and food are out of control! They come and squirt hand sanitizer on your hands right away. The lionfish plate with the octopus is out of this world. The Alexander (stuffed banana) fish was incredible. Best aguachile ever.. amazing pineapple hot sauce.. try putting some in your cerveza,,, game changer... $12 shots of 1942! No one is doing that... you must try this place! read more

One of the best restaurants in TJ. Atmosphere was awesome, great Customer service was wow!! and the best is that it is AFFORDABLE, we had 12 people in our group and our bill was almost nothing to what it would have cost us in CA. My son does not eat seafood and he even had a shrimp cocktail. They also offer you beer while you wait for your table or car, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you are ever in town. read more

Great place to take the family. Start of with a Tuna tostada then order the fillet Rey. Plenty of food on that dish for a healthy appetite. It's breaded fish stuffed with juicy marlin and mozzarella cheese. All topped with creamy Chipotle sauce over a bed of rice. . It almost tastes like bacon inside. Steamed veggies in pesto sauce. . read more

The shrimp was very salty, the service was very bad they rush the people to order and rush them to finish . Too noisy place. The prices some thing high with respect to the amount . read more
