They were closed, so we were fine moving elsewhere, but they straight-up opened hours early just to host our party! The bartender and staff have been so kind and generous. If you find yourself nearby and in need of a drink, please do yourself a favor and stop by. You'll find great company and drinks!!

The transformation is impressive. Where you might expect remnants of a typical Irish-style pub, La Bikina delivers something far more vibrant, modern, and distinctly Ensenada. The energy is contagious, the music sets the tone perfectly, and the atmosphere feels alive from the moment you step in. What really surprised me was how well they've elevated the experience--great drinks, a crowd that actually wants to be there, and a layout that makes it easy to either kick back or join the party. It's one of those places that sneaks up on you... you stop in for one and suddenly the night has taken on a life of its own. If you remember the old spot, come with an open mind--you won't just notice the change, you'll appreciate it. La Bikina isn't just a rebrand, it's a glow up!

Pros: This spot is a good place to hang out if you're looking for a casual bar with activities like billiards and darts. The vibe is fun without being overly packed, which made it easy to enjoy the space. They have darts (which are free, you just leave your ID), a pool table, and a music queue system where you can pick songs to play, which adds an interactive element to the night. I didn't try the food but the drinks were solid and did not disappoint. The overall energy of the place was welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. It's one of those spots where you can relax, hang out, and have a good time. Cons: Parking here is probably the biggest downside. The lot is really small and gets packed quickly, so I wouldn't recommend relying on it. We parked nearby after eating at Copper Kings Burgers and just walked over, which ended up being way easier. Verdict: If you're looking for a fun, chill bar in San Marcos with games, music, and good drinks, this is a great spot to check out. Just plan ahead for parking, but overall it's definitely worth it and I would come back again!

Came here for my fiancé's birthday…read more There were a lot of cars in the parking lot, so I thought the place would be packed. But I can't tell if most people were just in the bar area - we were able to get a booth! The place was nice and loud since every one was having a good time. Several parties of 3+ and I saw 1 party of 6. They were doing an explorer menu from Yucatan. Interesting thing to do during Black History Month - I won't lie. I was surprised to see it. But we ordered from that menu. We ordered the fried plantain that came with a sauce and cilantro, sausage and pepper soup, and the BBQ pork. I enjoyed everything except for the plantain. They were basically a huge disc that was slightly crunchy. I was not expecting that since if I want a crunchy plantain, I will eat actual plantain chips. The soup was fantastic! It was a bit spicy but not overwhelming and full of flavor. Wish I ordered a bowl instead of a cup. And last but not least, the BBQ pork was very good. Served on lettuce as well, so if you are doing keto you can omit eating the tortillas that came with the dish. It also had pickled red onions and a salsa. The salsa was mild and with everything in the taco, flavors were balanced. We also ordered 6 Cajun wings. But today, they didn't seem as flavorful, a pity really. A grilled cheese was ordered but with hamburger meat inside. That seemed good and it came with fries. Washed all of this down with a sour that was called Boozy Berry & my fiancé had a West Coast beer. Food was enjoyable, atmosphere was fun. We will be back again.

When they told me there's a place we can go and get weed and roll some joints and smoke it there while Having a drink, I Kind of thought hard to believe but it's actually true haha It is located way in the back at plaza zapato on the second floor. You will take stairs to get up to the place. Go in the back room to get your herbs for 50 pesos ($3) for which looked like a gram. My friend said that's expensive for Mexico lol It's not medical grade, but decent enough. They even provided papers. We rolled the joints at our table and then just sparked it up. No one even paid attention. Great place. You'll never know that this place is even there. Not sure how much they pay the cops to not bother them cause there were cops we walked by right before going up and they ignore it. Definitely worth checking the place out.
