    Can't stand it when the sushi isn't fresh -- two rolls, both had sub par tuna. Not coming back.

    This is a classy speakeasy style bar hidden in the Oryx restaurant. The vibe is classic speakeasy,…read morehigh style but comfortable for sure. The cocktail menu is interesting and full of lots of delicious options. My cocktail was made to perfection and our service was on point. We came in late one night so there was plenty of seating, but typically it's reservation only, so be sure and make a Resy if you want to make sure you can get in. Tijuana is full of hidden gems like this and Nortico is a welcome addition. Get off Revolution and check this spot out!

    Small, intimate, comfortable speakeasy with extremely friendly staff. Renee was brilliant! She…read moretaught me about all the different spirits that Mexico manufactures (other than the well known spirits of Tequila and Mezcal) and knew how to showcase the unique spirits of Mexico with cocktails that really leverage these spirits. She recommended a milk punch cocktail that incorporated Sotol, which is kind of like tequila but instead of fermenting agave, it ferments Dasylirion and is made only in Chihuahua. Then she recommended a cocktail that leverages a Mexican produced corn liquor in a Negroni but with gin subbed with mezcal. Both of these cocktails are bartenders choice and not on the menu, but the fact that they can execute such innovative cocktails so we'll speaks to the level of dedication bartenders at this bar have. Renee even gave pointers as to where I might be able to buy some of the bottles they use and for a few other bars of similar caliber to visit nearby. Instead of ending my trip at Nortico as previously planned, she helped me find a really cool new bar in Tijuana! Highly recommend.

    What a classy joint this is! This bar is connected to Mision 19, and it is obvious. You'll get the…read moresame great service and the cocktails are beautifully made (not to mention tasty!). I ordered the Pepino Misionero which is a cucumber drink. I loooooooooveeee my cucumber drinks! This one felt like a mojito in that there were muddled ingredients in it. I loved the drink but I typically don't order mojitos because I find them difficult to drink and I hate getting the leaves in my mouth. I had the same difficulty with the Pepino Misionero. The ambiance is modern with both indoor and outdoor seating. There is a gorgeous fire pit right in the middle of the patio which gives off nice heat without making your hair smell like firewood. It's the perfect place to grab a few drinks before heading down for your dinner reservation at Mision 19 but it's not a place I would seek out just to drink at for the night. The prices are very similar to the prices you would pay for cocktails in the states. Not overly expensive, just more expensive than other drink prices in Mexico. It was a bit dead when we arrived since it was fairly early in the night so I'd be curious to feel the vibe of the place when it's more packed.

    Bar 20 is one of the best in Tijuana, if not THE best bar. It's located in an office building along…read morewith Mision 19. We arrived early in the evening and tried several of the speciality cocktails. I recommend this place highly - it's pricey for the area but you get good value and the decor is very trendy.

    We finally ordered some food from Casa Nori after literally years of driving by. I've always wanted…read moreto eat here but timing and whatever reasons prevented me from going here. At long last I decided to order a platter for a family dinner. The platter presentation was nice with plenty of rolls (7 I believe). It's a good value for the quality and quantity. Every roll was fresh and delicious. The Lemon Cilantro roll was the family favorite. We did not dine in...yet. But when I picked up the platter, the restaurant did look very nice. Big patio dining area and just a chill vibe inside. The front of house employees were friendly and very helpful. My transaction was quick and easy. Overall, a great spot for sushi in the Chula Vista area. We are definitely coming back. Especially for the happy hour offerings.

    I had a disappointing experience at Casa Nori sushi restaurant that felt unnecessarily inflexible…read moreand dismissive toward a solo diner. I arrived as a party of one and was told I could not be seated at a table, despite multiple tables visibly open. Not reserved, just unavailable to seat me specifically. The explanation given was that they were "saving tables for larger parties." I understand managing seating during busy hours, but in this case the dining room was not full, and there was clearly space available. I requested to sit outside. I was offered a seat at the bar instead. I explained that I have sensory sensitivities and cannot comfortably sit at the bar--especially in an environment with loud music and a DJ actively playing. That context didn't seem to be meaningfully considered. What stood out most was the prioritization of keeping tables empty over seating a willing, paying guest. I was ready to order and spend a full meal's worth, but the preference appeared to be theoretical larger parties that had not yet arrived over an actual customer in front of them. Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity in hospitality and guest care. I left feeling unwelcome as a solo diner, which is disappointing given how common and legitimate solo dining is. I won't be returning.
