Quesadilla de pulp enchilado (spicy octopus), about $5. Pretty big and very good.
Jesse S.

Solid seafood at fair prices, a little cheaper than US prices. Probably the most spicy aquachiles I've had, pretty damn good. The kind of spicy that make you want to slow down but it's so good you can't... They can make it not so spicy if you ask. But the way I see it, what's the point in that. Might as well get something else off the menu. The quesadilla was pretty good too. Drinks were OK, nothing special. Good customer service.

Amazing aguachiles!

We finally made a trip to Tijuana after 15 years and we were not disappointed. We were walking through out Tijuana, even though people constantly talk about how dangerous it is, (BTW, not once did we feel unsafe or worried, just go) not even sure where we were to be honest, but we came across this restaurant and popped on in. I have been craving aguachiles for so long and was ready to order them, even though they're terribly spicy. Luckily, they were able to tone down the spiceness for me and I was loving them! So fresh and full of flavor! Perfect amount of spice for me, my husband got his normal and they even smelled extremely spicy! But he said they were delicious. We also ordered a pulpo enchilado quesadilla and that was so good, amazing flavors and cheesy! I missed all the food in TJ! Good customer service, very helpful and friendly!

This place named itself "sushi bar," but it also says it's an authentic Mexican seafood restaurant?…read moreThat feels like an identity crisis lol. I was given chips, salsa, and an appetizer soup thing in a cup. The chips were fine. I thought the soup was alright. I didn't like the salsa as I found it too watery and lacking in flavor, more like a hot sauce than a salsa. I ordered two hand rolls, a spicy tuna roll and a salmon skin roll. I thought they were good. I found the salmon skin too crispy and deep fried for my preference, but it was still good. Finally, I realized that not only do I never eat authentic Mexican seafood, I'm not even sure what that entails. So I dug through the menu and saw something called "Don Tono," described as stuffed with seafood, but without much other explanation. I asked the waitress what this Don Tono is exactly, and to my surprise, she wasn't sure either. So, of course I had to order it. It was a big thing of aluminum foil with goodies inside, kinda like a seafood bake. It was good, although I found the flavor to be a undertuned. I would've liked some Cajun seasoning. The best texture and taste was probably the fish itself as it was light and flaky without being mushy, and it absorbed the umami of some of the other seafood. I thought the shrimp and shellfish were just okay, and maybe just a tad overcooked for me. Honestly, I was also not a huge fan of the cheese here; I feel like it doesn't quite fit. I also got some rice and salad with it, which were both fine.

I got a couple rolls to go as well as some edamame. All serviceable, nothing remarkable but an…read moreinexpensive option for some decent sushi! Fun decor in this place! When I came in to pick up my food there was no one at the host stand and it seems like there was one waiter running the whole show during busy lunch time. Little teeny tiny parking lot but it's right across from the shopping centre parking so not a big deal.
