    Pescado Sarandeado
    David P.

    Chewins es Chewins k mas puedo decir. Buena comida Chewins is Chewins what else can I say. Good food

    Grilled cheese Octopus taco.  Super tender meat.
    Shane S.

    This is my favorite restaurant in Mexico. The food tastes great, they have the best Michalada I have ever had, hands down, and the prices are rediculously low. Last week 3 of us went there and had the following for $40 dollars: 1. Huge michalada, 2 lemonades and a shot of tequila. 2. 3 large Chewins grilled fish filets (has some kind of Baja sauce, cheese and shrimp on top of the fish) 3. 1 octopus and 1 marlin grilled cheese taco 4. 12 raw chocolate clams on the half shell. This would easily be a $80 dollar meal in the states. The service was impeccable and fast. There was like 15 servers. The open wood fire grills and everything else about this place just puts a huge smile on my face every time I go.

    Pescado Sarandeado estilo Chewin

    This place was highly recommended to me, but to be honest I was not impressed. The service was slow... They only serve one kind of beer (Tecate Light)... The pescado Sarandeado was average to me, but was not a fan of the toppings. Cheese and sauces tasted cheap. I tried the Marlin Fish Tacos and i was not a fan of them either. Maybe that just wasn't my kind of taste? But I felt like it was overly fishy tasting? But again, overall I was not impressed.

    Salmon a la Chewin

    If you're in TJ, this place is a must!!!! The fish is to die for, make sure to order it "Chewin" style! That means you get melted cheese and shrimp on top. We order both the fish and salmon a la Chewin style. And we get quesadillas a la Chewin. Yummy cheese and shrimp and a side salad. Hope you enjoy!

    Look from second floor, they have a play area.

    This is honestly an A-Ok place, nothing very impressive. The Grilled Fish is not very good a little bit dry. The aguachile is not very spicy. My parents recommend the Marlin Tacos == En verdad es un lugar bastante promedio y no creo nada especial. El pescado sarandeado no me sorprendio y se supone es la especialidad, en mi opinión estaba algo seco. Mis papas pidieron el taco de Marlin y dicen que estaba muy rico.

    Stars reflect the service provided. Sent food back (asked for no cheese), however food came back extremely salty. Beware.

    Nice place to grab lunch! Fast we walked in just two of us and got a table right away but don't…read moreexpect that if it's more I think we got lucky. 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

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.

    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.

    We had the pleasure of dining at Villa Marina. We ordered several dishes, including the…read morethree-flavor aguachiles, grilled octopus, and the Gohan Roll. Everything was delicious. The Gohan Roll was delicious and had a nice spicy kick, and the octopus ala brazas was excellent not chewy or too soft but tender. The best part of all was the flan for dessert. The restrooms were very clean. We received excellent service from Angel he was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for seafood. Tuvimos el placer de comer en villa marina. Ordenamos varias cosas incluyendo los aguachiles trí sabor, pulpo alas brazas y gohan roll. Todo estaba muy delicioso el Gohan roll estaba muy rico y picosito, el pulpo alas brazas estaba muy bueno con su arroz. Lo mejor de todo era el flan para postre. Los baños estaban muy limpios. Fuimos atendidos muy bien por Angel. Recomiendo si buscan comer mariscos que vengan aquí.
