The place itself is really nice, and the service was honestly top notch. But the one thing that totally killed the vibe for me was the music it was insanely loud. Like, not just loud... it felt like I was sitting inside the speakers. And I'm someone who actually likes loud music I go to festivals and concerts all the time but this was a different level. It made it really hard to enjoy the food or even have a conversation. Speaking of the food it was actually really good. Super fresh and flavorful. No complaints there. But unless you're totally cool with leaving the place half deaf, I can't really recommend it. The staff did try to help and turned down one of the speakers near us, which I appreciated, but overall it was still just way too much. To whoever's managing the place I really hope you reconsider the volume. You've got something good going here, but the noise completely overshadows the experience. Lowering it just a bit could make a huge difference. read more

Loud and fun. Not a typical dinner spot. Fun for adults who are looking for good music and night life without going to a club. Easy to come in and grab a drink. read more

Super buen servicio, mi primera ves aquí y quede encantada. Buen ambiente, comida. EXCELENTE LUGAR PARA PASAR UN DOMINGUITO AGUSTO!!! 10/10.

"It's located near Plaza Río. The restaurant is wide open and connected to the patios. I would give it an eight for their combination ceviche and cold ice beer with salt-lemon. I'm not too sure about the music band; we left before it got really annoying." read more

Came here with my mom, and we got the chipotle shrimp which was good, and also a steak with corn and a baked potato. I'm just going to say this, if you're going to come for a steak do not order from here. It had no flavor and looked grey as if it were boiled and then "grilled" to make it look authentic. The server did not seem happy when I mentioned that. read more

The food was very fresh The service was ok and attentive Might be a go to spot if i ever come back to tj read more

Worst service and bad food !! I waited 25 minutes before someone will come by our table. We got the wrong order of tostadas and the seafood soup salty !! We tried talk to the manager and she asked why we didn' t return the food and we told her because no one was coming by. We ate a bit of it and because of it we got stuck with a $52.00 dollars bill.... NEVER AGAIN!!! I understand the ambient but music WAY TO LOUD that I think waiters don't hear the orders right. read more

El Muchacho Alegre is a great place to check out if you are in Zona Rio. I was recently in Tijuana for a dental cleaning and wanted to grab dinner before crossing back over. I was a bit burned out of the restaurants in Zona Centro so I headed over to the gastro center of Tijuana - Zona Rio. While wandering around doing some research I passed by El Muchacho Alegre, a very festive restaurant. I stopped by El Muchacho Alegre at prime time and was very pleased to get a table upstairs with a view. Salsa and chips were placed down quickly and I ordered the biggest margarita available. Shortly thereafter I order the taco bichi con marlin and a quesataco. I ordered what I did based on the presentation from the menu and I am sure glad I did. Both tacos were very delicious and the dish included two additional salsas. Everything I tried was highly flavorful and fresh. The margarita was just the right size and I would order it again. While the service was great, I did not appreciate the loud music. A heads up to others who may be from across the border: Pay with pesos as the rate was a bit unfair. And as I say about many places in Tijuana, I am already wanting to return. read more

I have been wanting to try this place out since April 2020 but due to COVID I finally got to go. Unfortunately it was not what I expected it to be the service was absolutely horrific. I even asked my waiter are you mad he replied it's my face. I will NEVER EVER go back there again and if I get asked by friends I will let them know to NOT go. I texted a friend after and told him about my experience and he said oh yeah I went there too and I left ‍. Needless to say The gentlemen that was my waiter did apply to work here right? # Customer service is lacking in all departments here ! read more

Mario was a very good server, very attentive and friendly he treats me like i'm in mazatlán I love it

The mariscos here were so good!! The oysters were a good size and were fresh. I tried the tostada de Atun and it was really good!! The dressing on the tostada was delicious. We also got the ceviche sinaloense and it had to be the best thing we tried!! The salsa negra was so good!! I usually like raw shrimp because the cooked ones are usually too chewy for me and their cooked shrimp in the ceviche was perfect! We also got the molcajete jefe de jefes. It was an aguachile that included a bunch of things like Tuna! I had never tried one like that before and it was all really good!! Their drinks were also delicious! We will definitely be back! read more

I ordered a Molcajete- El Muchacho Alegre. Amazingly delicious! I like that the waitress made sure to ask if I wanted my dish spicy or mild. Their staff and waitresses are very attentive. I'm a big fan of Mexican Seafood and this place definitely hits the spot. I like that they have private secure parking in the back to keep your car safe. Ohh and great music, they were playing Valentine Elizalde which gave the restaurant a good vibe. read more

Food is good, but with the excellent seafood restaurants in town I expected a lot more. This restaurant offers great amenities like Parking, valet parking, play area for the kids, live music indoor and outdoor parking, great ambiance and location. Service is a hit ir miss. It's on the pricier side and being in Tijuana you can have outstanding seafood for half of what you pay here. I've been here twice mainly because it's right next door to my docs building and the hotel I stay at when in town. read more

The food is fire! If you come on a Saturday come early or reserve ahead of time cause we waited about an hour. The banda is really good!

Great food and great service! We had the molcajete aguachile and was plenty for my bf and I. Thank you Daniel for a wonderful dining experience. read more

Service was good, the food was alright, it could be better though. Small servings. Oysters tasted kinda old...

Cheviche was delicious, I went on Saturday afternoon and it was busy, very loud and lively, I enjoyed very much the music, they had Banda.

Avoid this place at all cost if you're hungry I got there took them about 20 minutes to bring menus and they only brought 3 out of the 5 we needed and once we ordered we waited about an hour and a half for our food and it was about average taste on a scale of 1-10 I would say 6.5 read more
