This was one of their cocktails, I don't remember tje name but it was delicious

Went here on an impromptu TJ day and fell in LOVE with the food! Its an upscale restaurant with affordable prices, everything was amazing! I had a lychee cocktail to start and it was phenomenal! I also had the pulpo zarandeado and everyone in my party LOVED it (they all had a taste)! It is is big enough to share but if you have a larger appetite please enjoy this to yourself, it's THAT GOOD! Not to mention the service, excellent! Friendly, attentive & on top of everything. Will definitely be back!

Tostada Agogada

We went here to celebrate a special occasion a while back and I have to say it was an extremely disappointing experience. Service was mediocre at best and the food was nothing to write home about. I ordered the Tostada La Ahogada for an appetizer which has shrimp, octopus and cucumbers as the main staples. The pulpo was super chewy and tough and there was little to no flavor. I ended up not eating most of it. I also ordered a steak for dinner. That was also tasteless and was over cooked given I had ordered it medium rare and it wasn't even pink. The only good dish we had was the Aguachile de Camaron. The restaurant is located in an upscale mall with paid parking and the outdoor seating area is comfortable. Reservations are typically recommended on the weekends.

Awesome vibes and great staff.. sat us last minute, but service never lacked. Drinks were great and food was even better. Highly recommend the tomahawk, it was very flavorful and cooked to perfection.

This is the ribeye. I ordered mine well done and it was cooked perfectly.

I was looking for a good steakhouse in Tijuana to take my friends. A friend of mine recommended this place and we were not disappointed. The service at this restaurant was great. Everyone was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

I'm just going to say, you have to experience this place. Everything was amazing. Great atmosphere and signature drinks, catering by an amazing staff. We will definitely be returning.

Bonita decoración.

Muy bonito lugar, amables los meseros aunque un poco desordenados porque para empezar tuvimos que pedir que nos tomaran la orden porque nadie iba. Después, tardaron en regresar a preguntarnos si ocupábamos algo y tuvimos que pedirle a otro mesero que nos trajinera otro platillo y eso ocasionó una confusión que terminó en la duplicación de orden. Pero bueno, la comida. Mi madre pidió la sopa de tortilla, rica pero demaciada salada. Pedí los sopes de camarón con chorizo, muy buen sabor, un platillo diferente pero no lo volvería a pedir, de dos me comí uno. Finalmente, la tostada ahí tuna, está si estaba riquísima y la súper recomiendo. Pedí dos más, una para mi y otra para mi madre que igual dijo que pediría otra! Quisiera volver y tratar otros platillos.

Bone marrow. Delicious in homemade tacos! Came with a tomato sauce and a little cheese

This place has so many items I want to go back and try. Started with the wedge salad. We split it and it was plenty for two. So delicious!! There was also a trio of tacos with bone marrow , only one half but I'm getting that next time!!

Cauliflower

Good food and ambiance, my steak was decent, but not out of this world. The pulpo was pretty good and tasty. Cauliflower and steak bites were also on point. Overall had a pretty good ambiance, but I wouldn't come back unless a friend wanted to try it.

Bone marrow.

Excellent Baja Med restaurant on the second level of the Plaza Chapultepec. It is located next door to Cabanna. First of all, there's plenty of parking in the attached parking structure, so that won't be an issue. Definitely make reservations if you plan to dine during a weekend night, as it can get packed. Despite the easing of restrictions, tables are still socially distanced, so there is less overall capacity. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating area has a rustic decor and several cool bars. During weekend nights, there is lively music that picks up as the night goes on, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a quieter dinner. Bodega 8 has an extensive selection of cocktails. I suggest any of their mezcal drinks, all of which are excellent. The menu includes a wide variety of seafood and meat dishes. Portion sizes are large, so basically anything can be ordered to share and your party can try several different dishes. I tried the bone marrow, grilled oysters, and ribeye. Everything was well prepared, tasty, and beautifully presented. Prices are reasonable in my opinion for the quality of the food and the location of the restaurant. Even after several drinks and some of the pricier dishes, you'll be looking at about $50 per person. I look forward to visiting Bodega 8 again soon.

Pulpo
Tania J.

I absolutely love this place...located in a plaza with a structure (you pay the parking in pesos) which makes the hassle of parking something you don't have to worry about. We ordered the Octopus, bone marrow, tri tip chicharrones on guacamole, half dozen oysters, drinks...everything was amazing and the service was spot on. A meal line this in the states would easily run hundreds of dollars...we spent $140 including a big tip. Only thing that sucks is that there's no AC :(

Michelada, 3 Tacos de Bodega, y aguachile
Lorena H.

SO YUMMY! Super cheap, very fancy, and everything is tasty. True mexican food. Will definitely be back from San Diego for this hidden Gem in Tijuana. It is located in a mall that has other places to eat as well.

Tomahawk Steak
Vanessa G.

I've been to this place twice and It never disappoints. I drive 2hrs just to eat here and I'll do it over and over again. First of all, the restaurant is gorgeous, so super trendy and stylish. They offer indoor and a gorgeous patio to dine. There's usually always a wait, so I suggest a reservation. The service is that of first class. I will occasionally have a social drink and this is the place to have it. Try the tamarind margarita (blended) and the horchata vodka. Ok ... let's get to the good stuff, the food!!!! I've ordered the same thing twice, the shrimp molcajete esmeralda. The shrimp are perfectly cooked in a delicious green sauce with fried cheese sticks and crispy potato strings on top !!! Omg / yum! Check out pics of what everyone else in my party ordered. Oh ... and don't skip on dessert- try their ice cream with bunuelos.

The food is really good, only issue is that the waiters have no shame in asking for tips or what they call it "servicio", so beware.

The service was great, and the food was fantastic, I really enjoyed we came to celebrate Mother's…read moreDay. And we had a great time!

Checked this spot out this past Mexican Independence Day due to the good reviews. It's located in…read morethe Zona Rio area, which is an area packed with very well-regarded, highly-rated restaurants in TJ. The restaurant is located directly behind the TGI Friday's on General Rodolfo Sánchez Taboada Boulevard. Got there around 1:30 pm, not too long after they opened. Not many people in there, though that wasn't surprising given that it was a Monday and a federal holiday. One thing I love about Mexican fine dining restaurants is they tend to be very lax on dress code; I was dressed casually but that wasn't a problem. I don't think they technically have a dress code, though a comparable fine dining steak restaurant in the U.S. might not have let me in given that I was casually (although neatly) dressed. Was nearly empty so was seated immediately. Waiter was an older male who spoke pretty good English. Was brought out Acqua Panna spring water while I looked over the menu. I first ordered a frozen strawberry margarita (209 pesos or roughly $11). The margarita was solid and tasty. For my meal I decided to go with the petit ribeye (300g ribeye), which came with a complimentary side (chose mashed potatoes) and the soup of the day (potatoes and cream). The petit ribeye was 1389 pesos (~$73 USD). While waiting for the main meal, they brought out bread and then the soup (which came with crackers). Really liked the soup. The bread was perfectly fine, though nothing special. They provided standard crackers but there were also some very large, circular crackers they provided that I didn't really like. After finishing the soup and bread they brought out the ribeye and potatoes. Both were very good, the ribeye in particular was well-cooked and tasty. Not the best ribeye I've had in my life or anything like that, but it was solid. I also liked the spicy sauce and pico condiments that came with the meal. The ribeye and margarita came to 1598 pesos total; after tip the total bill came out to around $100 USD. While I enjoyed the meal, I don't think I'd return to El Grill at that price point. I've had better steak/ribeye meals for less even in the U.S. and had better meals for much less in TJ. But the meal here was good and I'd still recommend for anyone who's never been, just as a place to check out. The waiter and customer service overall was great and very attentive.

We decided to try this place because of the amazing Google reviews!…read more but boy, were we wrong! Hear me out. From the moment we arrived, we felt rushed to our seats. We asked to move outside to catch the game, and while the server accommodated us, it was clear he wasn't too thrilled about it. We started with drinks, which were actually great; so good that we ended up ordering three rounds plus shots! For appetizers, we had the grilled bone marrow and empanadas, followed by a New York strip loin (recommended by the server) with creamy spinach and truffle fries. The empanadas and fries were delicious, but the steak was completely bland, definitely not worth the price. We asked for a spicy salsa, and the server brought one out "on the house," which was amazing. I even asked to take the leftover salsa home. Now, here's where things turned shady. Throughout the meal, the server kept upselling us on everything; which we didn't mind since we were having a good time. But when the bill came, we noticed he charged us for the leftover salsa that he originally said was complimentary! It wasn't about the money, but the principle. We asked him to remove the charge and told him to forget the salsa. The manager noticed what happened, took care of the charge, and even packed the salsa with our leftovers. The server, however, never returned to the table after that. The ambiance and cleanliness were fine, but overall, the experience left a bad taste. VERDICT: I will not be coming back.

We had an amazing dinner experience during our first trip to El Campero Restaurante…read more The atmosphere is upbeat but relaxed. The music is not too loud. It was easy to converse. Both the mocktails and the cocktails were delightfully tasty. Our waiter Fernando was exceptional, going as far as to bring us the various cuts of meat when we have questions about what to order. The meat! The meat! The best steak my wife and I have had I'm recent memory! She had the Bite de Lomo. I had the arrechera. We both couldn't have been happier with our choice. We're already talking about making a trip down from San Diego to have dinner here!

One of my absolute favorite places to visit every time I'm in TJ!!!!…read more The meat there is not even comparable to any of the places here in the United States. They have much more open food selection with much wider variety either Mexican or regular American style food. They will literally always at all times be passing by with meat, you would literally get sick of it and just have to turn the sign off (even then they still come with meat lol) The service is absolutely top notch and they made sure that we have everything we needed! Even come by all the time to see if there's any meat we would like to request so they could bring it for us!!!! That's just never happened with us before!!!!!!! We had a birthday there, and I tell you they really know how to do a celebration right, you will get the very much loud and fun birthday shoutout. Also they will make you chug a shot and shake your head like they do over there. It was so special and to be remembered. Parking structure is small there, but they do have valet and they'll take care of it for you. (I believe it's only valet parking there, I could be wrong. But we got the valet parking) Price can't be beat for the quality and amount of food. Absolute steal. 2 people on a weekend with a birthday celebration and couple soft drinks and water came to be about $80ish-$90. Which if you know how much Brazilian steakhouses in the US cost, you'd know how good of a deal that is!!!!!!!! Overall, it really sucks that this place is far away, otherwise I'd have been there every weekend :) But it is a stable to go to every time I'm in Mexico.
