Lorenza used to be one of my go to spots when I was in Mexico, but lately I feel like the quality has gone down not just in the food, but in the service as well. I had an issue with one of the servers, and instead of acknowledging the situation, the manager made me feel like it was somehow my fault. I left feeling unheard and disappointed. The place itself is still beautiful the decor is great, and the location is in a really nice, safe area. But unfortunately, the poor service and how management handled the situation really affected my overall experience.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND celebrating a special occasion at Lorenza in TJ or just specifically going down to devour the most AMAZING Short rib tacos with bone marrow!! Not kidding would drive down here just for those tacos! They are that good! The aguachile and oysters were delicious and so fresh and the chocolate cake can feed 7 people easily! Did not expect how big this dessert was! Ambiance is beautiful inside and out and the service from all the staff was very attentive, friendly and professional! Lorenza is an outstanding dining experience! Can't wait to go back!
I have been to a good amount of restaurants, from Vegas to other parts of Mexico. Lorenza has bY far in my opinion been one of the best dining experiences I have ever enjoyed having. Every dish, every drink was perfectly executed. The service was a 20/10. Perfect for date night. Night with friends, or bring your coworkers too. I'm from LA, I'll be coming back hopefully next month to bring my loved ones here to try!
Our recent dinner at Lorenza was a great experience. It is our friends' go-to spot when they're in Tijuana. The atmosphere is beautiful and modern. What we enjoyed: -The buttery bone marrow was rich and indulgent and a standout. -The ceviche Malecón was a fun surprise--fresh with a twist from the chamoy and peanuts. - Tender short rib and perfectly grilled octopus were delicious. -The chicharrón de ribeye was our friends' favorite, though it was a bit dry this time. To top it off, we shared the massive chocolate cake--enough for four adults and a toddler. The service was attentive and there's even a kids' room where little ones are happily watched so you can actually enjoy your meal in peace.
Lorenza, located in Plaza Paseo Chapultepec in Tijuana, is celebrated for its blend of traditional Mexican cuisine and modern culinary techniques. The ambiance is sophisticated yet inviting, making it ideal for special occasions or a memorable meal. Favorite menu standout dishes like the signature Taco De Amigos, slow-cooked short ribs and unique bone marrow. Impressive Desserts tres leches cake. Though priced slightly above local norms, diners often consider the exceptional food, attentive service, and elegant setting well worth the cost. Must try, Tres Leches, Tacos Del Amigo, Taco Del Patron.
A MUST TRY! TOP NOTCH! I was in Tijuana for a dental-related and came across this restaurant! The place and the ambiance were nice. This place serves seafood, steak, and of course tacos so we ordered them! We loved them all! The salsas were so tasty! The drinks were delicious and strong! But the star of the day was the service! OMG they were all attentive and we felt like royalty! VERDICT: I WILL COMEBACK

The service is outstanding; many thanks to Diego and Brandon for their warm hospitality and top-notch attention. We'll definitely be coming back soon!
Wow wow wow, food is so amazing from the apps to main course. Highly recommended the octopus, enough to share with all. Service was so excellent, impressive to say the least. Staff ready and friendly available to serve to an amazing meal. Inside is just as beautiful, it really makes the experience wonderful. Just an amazing time.
We Californians need to recognize and accept that, across the southern border from San Ysidro, the city of Tijuana in Mexico, is becoming a significant and dynamic dining destination. The restaurants in this town can easily compete and even rival any of their counterparts in the culinary hot spots of major US cities. I am now on a sporadic, but focused journey to discover all of these gastronomic temples in Tijuana. My recent find is Lorenza, located in a spot that has several of these well anchored eateries. Walking into Lorenzo, you are just blown away by the awesome ambiance, interior decor, the most prominent being the stunning painting above the bar. Then there are the immaculate dining tables that highlight Mexican design and architecture. I spent almost 3 hours at my table, during which time I slowly selected and ordered several dishes. You begin with the complimentary tray of dips, salsa and chips. I started with the Ostiones Al Jaspor (baked oysters in a special Chef's marinade). Then the Manolo El Pescador (a creamy seafood soup). This was followed by Camarones Europeos (Shrimps). After that, Taco Del Patron (essentially a jumbo shrimp on a blue tortilla). Let's not forget there was also garlic toasted bread. Please see my pictures for these amazing presentations. So how was the food? I have to tell you at the onset, I was blown away. The whole experience was exhilarating. Every dish was better than the other. The Chefs really have a knack of treating seafood like it should be. I don't know how they do it. The oysters and both my shrimp dishes had amazing texture, taste, and flavor that I have to say I have not experienced anywhere else. And the service, 4 to 5 servers, including the manager, constantly attending to me, making me feel very special. Periodically checking, making sure everything was OK. Thank you Lorenza ....what an amazing and unforgettable dining experience. Muchas Gracias, Senors, Senoras y Senoritas.
If you saw the hype on Tiktok, it is worth it! There's an indoor and outdoor section with different vibes (music wise). The staff were friendly and answered any questions + gave amazing recommendations. If you'd like to see their cuts of meat, don't be afraid to ask. favorites: Tuna Tartare and Agua de Vida
While we made reservation for Saturday afternoon, we were told it wasn't necessary since they barely opened the door at 1PM. It was for 1:15 PM. When you walked, you are in awe with the decor and ambience of the restaurant. By far, this place has the best service I ever had. They are on top of everything. Always checking to make sure we are doing ok, to pushing in the chairs for the ladies. Our utensils and plates were constantly getting replaced after finishing a dish. We got complimentary chips and sauces. We ordered a few dishes to try as a group and individually. Here's what we ordered: Ostiones Al Josper - Baked oysters marinated in sauce over a bed of rice pilaf. Enchiladas de langosta - Lobster enchiladas with sauce, lettuce and cheese. Betabel- Ate: Beets served with thick slices of candied guava, alfalfa sprouts, cranberries, and beef carpaccio on top with drizzled of balsamic glaze. Tacos del Amigo - Short rib and bone marrow served on blue corn tortillas. Del patron - One large shrimp on blue corn tortilla. Tuetano Mongol - Bone marrow with octopus. They will also serve it with a side of tortillas. De Atun - 3 mini tuna served on crunchy hard shell tacos. My husband did not want to share and ate it before I can take a bite of it. All dishes were quite delicious and we left no crumbs. Lastly, we still had room for desserts. While we wait, we ordered coffee and did not expect a mobile Nespresso coffee bar to come to our table. What a nice surprised. For the desserts, we decided to go the following: Churros en el ring - We did not expect to have churros served in a boxing ring. What a cute concept. Wished we have gotten more than 4 pieces of churros. Pastel Lorenza - This is a MUST. It was a tower of vanilla ice cream with creamy goat milk and pecan. In the ice cream, you will find their house cookie to give it at that extra crunch with cajeta in it. Lastly, we ordered pan de elote con dulce de leche. Moist corn bread served on a bed of dulce de leche. If we can order a whole box home, we would. We definitely will be back!
Service was amazing, staff is so kind and so attentive. Food & drinks were 10/10 especially the tostadas de callo, our server assembled the tostadas right in front of us and added some tuna agua chile with pistachios. I've never had that combo but it was mind blowing.

For the steak lovers! Quality tender meat, I didn't even need a knife to cut the meat, cooked perfectly medium rare, the mashed potatoes were exquisite as well. They had a nice list of wine selections from valle de Guadalupe, to Napa and more. I ordered the fillet and am now a fan, new favorite steakhouse, will be back thank you. read more

Another fantastic seafood restaurant in TJ! Made reservations a couple weeks in advance to be safe. Was so impressed of the beauty of the tables, walls, and even bathrooms were all very artistic and creative. This restaurant had some of the best ceviche I have ever had in Mexico. They added peanuts to it which to be was so different & unique at every level but seems to have worked perfectly. Loved every single item that was ordered and can't wait to back again. read more

Food (4.6/5) Appetizers: Ceviche Lorenzo. Sashimi. My fav was the former. Main: Sea Bass and Cowboy Rib-eye. Both amazing. Service (4.9/5): It was almost too good. From the servers to the greeters and managers, everyone seemed happy to see you. Very welcoming energy and attentive. Ambiance (4.7/5): They have indoor/outdoor. Sunny and nice day out on the terrace. Overall would definitely recommend to anyone visiting town and/or for a special occasion. Mix of dressy and casual. read more

Impeccable and attentive service coupled with some of the best food I have ever had. The shrimp taco was our table's favorite, served with a perfectly tender jumbo prawn on a handmade blue corn tortilla. We enjoyed that we got an assortment of salsas for the table that we could add to our dishes. Our server also took the time to serve the enmoladas for us. We loved the aguas frescas, namely the pineapple basil and Jamaica cardamom! Will definitely be back! read more

One of the best restaurants I've been to in Tijuana. From the restaurant aesthetic to the delicious food. Not to mention room how amazing the staff are. They are very accommodating! They 100% go out of their way to give you the absolute best experience. They create simple traditional foods but on steroids! Their selection of salsas is so good! The best tortilla soup I've had in Tijuana yet. I highly recommend you give them a visit. It's also recommended to reserve, especially if you come with a big group. They have an American phone number to make it easier for the ones traveling to give them a call. read more
