Lamentablemente, el volumen de la música estaba excesivamente alto. Mi iPhone no dejaba de advertirme que el nivel era perjudicial para mis oídos debido a los decibeles elevados. No podíamos conversar con normalidad. Incluso el mesero tenía que repetir sus preguntas varias veces, ya que ni él mismo lograba escuchar con claridad lo que pedíamos. Cuando intentaba explicarnos el menú, era prácticamente inaudible. En dos ocasiones anteriores la experiencia había sido muy buena. Sin embargo, esta vez, al invitar a unos amigos con la intención de que disfrutaran el lugar, la experiencia no fue agradable. J. Caballero

Loved this place! When you pull up, they actually have valets. I was not expecting that…read more When you walk inside, you will notice it is tastefully appointed upscale. With a few TVs. Right away, the owner came over and greeted us and made us feel very welcome. Gave us quite a few suggestions of things to try. They specialize in seafood. Everything we had was extremely fresh and tasty.

We were so happy we gave a try at this charming restaurant! My partner had 3 shrimp tostadas and I…read morehad 1 shrimp and 1 tuna tostada. Interestingly, the first 2 shrimp tostadas were regular (simple lemon or lime) and we really loved the freshness and the taste, so my partner ordered 1 more, then the ceviche had some mayonnaise in it somehow (they said it's not supposed to have mayonnaise). He preferred without mayonnaise, so he ordered another one without mayonnaise, which was amazing! And my tuna tostada!! That was one of the best dishes I had this year. I thought it's worth going to Tijuana just to eat there! The elder male server with grey hair also made our lunch so lovely and great experience.

Service is extremely professional, prices are medium and very reasonable ($10 drinks, $10 tostadas) highly recommended.

Either way looked fast paced got people in n out so shouldn't be a wait. A bit loud inside with TVs and music playing. The food was pretty good I liked the cooked camarones they had the best and the mescal drink. The churros were nice nothing to crazy on flavor but presentation wise if fun and attention seeking so plus plus if you usually order fajitas and like the eyes on you. The jicama taco is pretty interesting fresh and taste great not a usual thing but good. Our server Gerardo Rodriguez was awesome the whole time he made sure we have everything we need and still check on us the entire visit

Le doy una estrella porque no puedo dejar menos. Después de…read moreaños de no ir a este restaurante decidimos volver para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi hijo. Todo iba bien hasta que le llevaron una rebanada de pastel y le cantaron las mañanitas, le cantaron la clásica mordida y mi hijo no quería, pues le atascaron el pastel en la cara y el betún y gran parte del pastel se le metió en la nariz, mi hijo estaba muy enojado y la verdad es que se sintió como una humillación, uno sabrá lo que hace en su casa, pero en un lugar público y gente que no te conoce esto es de muy mal gusto y hasta humillante. Pero eso si, el mesero exigiendo la propina, hablé con el gerente y me dijo que tratan de evitar eso, pero la verdad yo no vi que trataran de evitarlo, al contrario, está de sobra decir que no regresaremos.

My rating is for the food and great service. You'll see why…read more I didn't know what to expect here... walked in and thought we had to order up front. We were sat down and given menus. The horchata in a fancy cup helped lighten the mood. The food is great! The service was pretty darn good too! My fav was the La Mazateña shrimp. They were fabulous! On another note and not part of the review, the restrooms- they were in the back, attached to the back room where people were eating. there was a sign pointing down a hallway that pointed to restrooms. Went down and thought the lights would turn on. They didn't. Someone came from out of the dark. Surprise?!?! Phone light out. Ah, women's. No light in there. I was desperate. I went in w phone light. Realized that someone else was in there going too. They got out of the stall and tried to switch the light on, and nope. Finished going, light randomly turns on. Wash and go go go!

It can be very hard if you are an octopus lover like me. Be warned & tell your server up front NO octopus on anything please. They are very accommodating.

My friend @cheftiffanythomas scrolled through a plethora of seafood restaurants here in Tijuana and…read morelanded on this wonderful gem. What sold us was the photo of the Octopus SARTENEADO, & yes it was tasty, soft, & slow cooked in a well seasoned bath of butter. The rice has a hint of saffron, and the vegetables were nicely roasted. The table salsa is excellent and the complementary chips are doused in a bright red savory chili powder. We also ordered the trio of aguachiles, prepared with 3 different chiles; one green, one red, & lastly a dark blackened chili. Our favorite was the black aguachiles. They have plenty of mixed drinks & beer to offer, we had the hibiscus drink with mezcal. Everything is a 5 out of 5, including customer service. Heads up it's a very busy restaurant and parking is valet only. If you happen to have children with you they also have a separate play area for the kiddos; which is great if you happen to have an energetic toddler that needs a temporary distraction. The ambiance overall is very nice. I did notice it's somewhat casual to formal dinning, and very well staffed. It''s a great restaurant & I highly reccomend it.

Service is super fast because they have a lot of workers and all efficient from the minute you drive up they're ready to serve. Outdoor seating set up in a parking lot- nothing fancy or overpriced! This is the best place to bring a date to see if they pass the humility check mark . Best food is the tostadas and molcajete I had a couple of hot tacos but by far the fresh food is what keeps this place busy. Make sure to ask for extra avocado! Must try if you're in TJ!

Great seafood at this stand across from Mercado Hidalgo…read more The Maleficio is ceviche/crudo in a goblet with a Bloody Mary-esque sauce. Came with shrimp and callo (scallop?). Surprisingly good hangover food. You sit at a stool directly in front of the stand and have an array of accoutrements spread on the counter: various hot sauces, tostada chips, etc. Drinks aren't listed on the menu but there is Fanta, aguas frescas, etc. USD accepted but you'll probably get a better rate if you convert to pesos.

After a full day of serious self-care (doctor appointments, errands, and elite-level snack…read moreshopping), we arrived at El Puerto in Tijuana in the exact condition one should: hungry and slightly dramatic. First things first--the aguas frescas understood the assignment. Guava and cucumber were icy, fresh, and basically a reset button for the soul. My niece wanted something a little stronger - enter the fresa-kiwi mojito, which was refreshing enough to make her forget she had responsibilities earlier that day. The food? A seafood symposium: * My niece went with the filet al chipotle--tender, flavorful, and clearly the overachiever at the table. * My sister chose the tostada de pulpo, which was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and proof that octopus can, in fact, be a love language. * I handled a dozen oysters like a professional (and by professional, I mean zero regrets). * And my friend--who couldn't chew--casually asked if they could make breakfast... and they did. Enter: huevos rancheros, served without judgment and with full hospitality points. El Puerto is the kind of place where everyone gets exactly what they need--even if it's oysters, octopus, or breakfast at lunch. Great drinks, great food, and staff that actually listens. We came in tired, we left happy, hydrated, and slightly obsessed. Would absolutely return--preferably after more "self-care."

The fried shrimp taco with chipotle mayo and avocado was crunchy and well-executed, while the carne asada with guac and pico kept things classic and satisfying. The raw shrimp aguachile served on thin jícama slices with a smoky black salsa was unforgettable--bright, spicy, and full of bold flavor. The jícama added a clean crunch that tied it all together. The shrimp salad was fresh and colorful with strawberries, candied nuts, and goat cheese, and the salsa verde cream pasta with shrimp was rich and tasty, without feeling heavy. Service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and on point the whole time. The bar is also worth a mention: wide drink menu, good cocktails, and a great vibe to hang around after the meal. Overall, Cabanna hits that sweet spot of flavor, variety, and energy. I'll be back.
