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.

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.

I had been here before and thought the fried shrimp tacos were okay, so I decided to give the…read morerestaurant another try. Unfortunately, this second visit was disappointing. We ordered the fried fish, and it arrived with a fried fly stuck in it. Obviously, finding an insect in your food is unpleasant. I understand that flies can sometimes get into restaurants and mistakes can happen. What bothered me most was not the fly itself, but how the situation was handled. When we brought it to the attention of the person in charge, instead of simply apologizing and offering a refund, he tried to justify what happened. A sincere apology and immediate resolution would have gone a long way. Accidents happen, but customer service and accountability matter. Sadly, the response left a worse impression than the mistake itself. And our waitress had the worse service. . I called her to ask for more lemon and she rolled her eyes at us.

Villa Marina, has been on my Tijuana radar and I finally was able to make it happen. The magnet to…read moreget here, was that I recently discovered they were the only restaurant that was advertising Puerto Nuevo lobster. So I got there on my first evening, and that's what I ordered. It took about 40 minutes to get to the table, but once it arrived, it was beautifully presented cooked optimally. The portion seemed a little smaller than I expected (came in only one 600 gm size). The lobster that was split in half sat on a moist bed of Spanish rice, came with refried beans and freshly grilled vegetables. See my pictures. The freshly made thin tortillas were superb, but one had to be careful or they would dry soon. After you finish, they give you an apperetiv, in a small cylindrical crystal glass. Basically, think of it like Kahlúa with milk, vanilla and ice. It was fantastic. The chips and salsas that preluded the main order were also superb. It is rarely and not always, that I go back to the same restaurant when I'm on a short trip. On top of that the next day? Yes, here it had to be the exception. So this second time, I was here to try the fish soup (exceptional) and the grilled loin of red snapper. I've heard of a pork loin, a beef loin, but this was a first. The entree is a large portion. A thick, succulent, colorful, well charred and grilled portion of seafood, with firm texture and spicy taste. Service here was high class, on both occasions. Two exceptional and hard to forget dining visits, in Tijuana. Wow.

Tuvimos el placer de comer en villa marina. Ordenamos varias cosas incluyendo los aguachiles trí sabor, pulpo alas brazas y gohan roll.

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."
