This time, I chose Oryx as my food destination for my annual visit to the Motherland, and came away with an experience which rivals any restaurant I've ever been to. Straight Up. I've tried Mexican food in places most people couldn't locate on a map, including Ulaanbaatar and Addis Ababa, but what I had for dinner here in Tijuana, is on a whole 'nother level. From the attentive service to the friendly confines, and from the attention to details to the obviously outstanding food, Oryx delivers in ways few restaurants can. Each dish blew me away and by the end, I was preachin' that my dinner experience had cracked the Top-5 ever. Take notes and pay attention!

Oryx, a Michelin recognized in Tijuana, has an elevated vibe and excellent service. Our only gripe…read moreis that while we were there they were shooting some type of movie or promo that was very distracting and definitely took away from the elevated feel. The menu is split into hot and cold appetizers as well as mains. We split the portobello ceviche, Black taco and catch of the day. We most enjoyed the portobello ceviche that was doused in a tasty and addictive sauce. The fish of the day was a white fish and was cooked perfectly - flaky with a crispy crust. To finish was split the smores brownie with mousse and chocolate as well as the GF option of Roasted Strawberries, pink pepper and mint foam, with a yogurt meringue. We didn't love the dessert, but presentation (along with with presentation of every dish here) was beautiful.

The first time we went I ordered the garlic green beans which were actually no longer on the menu. They were quite tasty. I also ordered a side of fried chicken which was also good. The second time we went I got the chicken wings and the side ceaser salad. The wings were not crispy enough and there was zero flavor in the breading. The salad was boring. Hubby got the cobb salad which was a large portion but otherwise just ok. note that there is no outdoor seating so leave Fido home. Probably would not bother coming back here.

Tonight we had family dinner here at Common Theory Chula Vista. This place is so great. When we…read morearrived, Happy Hour (3p-6p) was ending but the place was so packed. This is always a great sign. The manager, Ben, is awesome. He greeted us and added us to the waitlist. We were seated after 10mins of waiting in a great spot. Our favorite server, Nathan, is a lead now. We were seated in Matt's area and he was our server. Nathan came by to say hi and greet us, this is excellent customer service here. Matt was also great and customer service oriented and he took our order for table apps and drinks. The ambiance here is fun, family friendly, cool, and good vibes all around. They have a DJ some Saturdays. There are also very cool theme nights. Tonight was "Wing Wednesday". I posted a photo of the theme nights. For example, Thursday is Teachers 15% Discount Day and Karaoke. The walls, seating, and table decor is very nice. The design element here is wonderful. Our food: Bulgogi Fries App for the table starter, Fish and Chips, Chicken Katsu Plate, Side Order of Garlic Fried Rice, And 10 (4 Salted Pepper, 2 BBQ, 2 Sweet Chili, 2 Buffalo) of the $2 each wings. The food was great! The vibe is awesome, and the overall experience was great. We also got a chance to talk to Ben the Manager, Nathan the lead server, and Matt our server tonight. They all came to check on us to make sure that everything was going well in our dining experience. We HIGHLY recommend stopping here to enjoy a great dining experience.

I was looking for a restaurant to eat that I would not find across the border (in this case in the…read moreUS) and saw this place with no wait time. Don't let the no wait time fool you thinking it is not good. I am not a beer person, but they had so many beer options for you beer lovers. They also had other drinks for those that don't like beer (some cocktails). I ended up trying the the Baja Artesanal Frambuesa Ale just to see if it was more on the fruity side. It was. Now as a person who doesn't like beer it tasted ok as long as you don't try or eat anything else. When the food came and I took a sip of the beer after tasting my food the beer did not taste so good. Now onto the food. OMG! I ordered the hamburger with fries and had no idea how big the burger was. This burger has to be shared with someone. The length and width were bigger than my hand (about 1.5 x my hand). The height ... probably a little less than my hand (I took a picture with my hand for scale, but it came out blurry so I didn't post). Not only was the portion out of this world, but it tasted delish as well. Please note due to the size it does take some time to cook the patty, but def worth the wait! Highly recommend checking this place out. I know if I'm back in the area I definitely will be going back!

We…read moreknew that any bar by tacos el gordo would be too wild for us, so we walked a couple blocks and approached Noble Experiment. I would say this was probably our highlight of our trip in San Diego. Garrick, the bartender there, was super accommodating. Not only was he and the other bartender were making damn good drinks, they would legit talk to you. The ambiance of the place is cool too. Felt like I was going inside some continental room like John Wick. Definitely my vibe and definitely coming back. But if you ever get Garrick as your bartender, you're in for a treat!

You walk into the barrels, down the mirrors, and into the skull room...IYKYK no less. The waits to get very deadly so make sure to put your name on the list early. Service: 9/10 The host was chill, and we had Quintin as our mixologist. There are no menus he told us, he just went off of our flavors, and palate, so I can't really speak for how to order the same drink. First drink: 9/10 (profile) Vodka bases with cucumber and strawberry. Second drink: 8.5/10 (profile) Smokey, deep old fashion. Overall a MUST-GO to if you're in the area stopping by!
