Highly recommended for seafood lovers in Tijuana! My wife and I visited twice during our trip. While parking is limited, the free valet is a huge plus. The meal starts with a complimentary, flavorful seafood broth. We loved the ceviche tostadas and the Pescado Zarandeado--both were fresh and perfectly prepared. Great cocktails and a relaxed, casual vibe. With an excellent service will definitely be back! read more

The server tipped himself without asking us how much we wanted to add for a tip, and when we talked to the manager about it, they didn't even look surprised! Don't come here unless you're ok with them deciding for you without permission!! read more

This is an excellent restaurant in a great neighborhood, serving top-notch seafood for about half what you'd pay for such beautiful (but less-inspired) seafood north of the border. Here's what we enjoyed so much that we'll be back again soon. ** FOOD ** Mixto Coctel: A truly delicious and pretty seafood cocktail (Mexican style, more like a soup thick with seafood and avacado than that US shrimp dippin' thing). The coctel contained shrimp, octopus, and a new one for me: callo de hacha. I had to look that one up -- it comes from something that looks like an ugly scallop or oversized abalone. Coctel came with crackers and tostadas. So good! Ensenada de Pescado: A far more flavorful and larger fish taco than you may be used to. There was a hot sauce the waitress warned us about that worked out nicely with it. Birria de Pescado: OK, when I think Birria, I think of a hearty stew involving goats or cows. In this case, it's big oblongs of tuna(?) simmered in birria sauce, making those oblongs soft hunks of flavor with plenty of adobada. It came topped with avacado and sauce, and was even bigger than the regular fish taco. ** DRINKS** Gin Tonic con Pepino: really refreshing with cucumber water Jarrito Veraniego: A beautiful painted clay jar with tequila and citrus juice, with a sour tamarind candy fused to a fork, which was great for nibbling on and stirring the drink. ** THE PLACE AND THE PEOPLE ** It's at the end corner of a strip mall, with inside and outside tables. Interior was super clean and pretty, with a gleaming counter at one end. The staff was very friendly and helpful, albiet only in Spanish, but you'll figure things out just by pointing. All told: we would have stayed and enjoyed more dishes for much longer, except there was much more eating to be done that TJ day! Gotta pace oneself. read more

The review is for dinner on November 9 and 815pm. Service deserves - 5 stars. The server wouldn't let us leave without leaving extra tip on the card after providing a cash tip and showing him the cash. He went on and tried to re swipe my card 3 times and show which tip option was avail on the card machine and made us feel bad that we didn't add extra tip!!! He should know that tip is an option not mandatory. Horrible service. And won't come back! After we gave him a percentage so we can finally leave the restaurant he shook his head in disbelief. He made our experience go from stellar to second class citizen real quick. If service is what you are expecting from this high end establishment that was raved about on EATER...Go elsewhere imo. It's too bad because I'm starting a new food tour company to bring Americans and tourist from all over the world to the wonderful city of TJ and enjoy the wonderful culinary scene here. This restaurant was on the list ...however it is no longer on my long list of places for the world to experience due to the service and the way the server treated us. Personal feel and opinion on the experience - Just because we are Americans we shouldn't be treated differently. Cmon..don't give the well known chef and the new amazing culinary scene in TJ a bad name and bring back the negative unfair reputation known for the old ways of treating foreign customers. This is the new TJ, not the old Mr. Server! For the record I've been in TJ every week for months creating relationships and visiting awesome restaurants all over TJ. NON of the restaurants, atleast 100, treated me like this. Shame on FOH management for allowing this to happen. Food was good. Ambiance is solid. read more

Great service. Outdoor seating. Delicious seafood, including the clam chowder, which is hard to come by in most seafood places I've frequented in Mexico. If you opt for the shrimp tacos, they'll ask if you want classic. Don't get those. The shrimp on this style is breaded, plain, and greasy. The scallop and shrimp ceviche, on the other hand, was delicious. read more

I host a monthly dining event across the border and for January 2019's event we checked out Erizo. It is located in the walkable Gabilondo near several other great restaurants. I slammed this place with twenty plus diners and we had a fine dining experience. Erizo is one of the numerous creations of chef Javier Plascencia. It has a coastal vibe with typical Baja California fare. The menu is extensive and is around five pages. I had already scanned the menu online and was quick to pitch my order. I ordered a classic Margarita and three tacos: Gobernador, Marlin Ahumado and Camaron Enchilado. We enjoyed chips and salsa while we waited for our plates. The green salsa (with Serrano peppers I believe) especially stood out to us. It had some spiciness to it, but it wasn't ridiculously hot. My tacos were great and I would definitely order them again. About half through I ordered a glass of white wine (Casa Magoni) and surprisingly it went well with order. The service was good and the prices were on point for comparable places in the neighborhood. The establishment was very clean and seemed well maintained. If you are in Tijuana and want to try some good seafood check out Erizo. read more

I walked in here for lunch based on everything I know and enjoy about chef Javier Plascencia and how much I have enjoyed pretty much everything he's involved with. This is his mariscos place and so I finally made it in here, beautiful restaurant , looks small from outside but it's actually pretty big once you walk inside , they even have a small bar inside, beautiful decor , friendly waiters, quick service . I ordered up a couple of things in order to get a taste of as much as I could, I must say that the aguachiles were just out of this world , full of flavor , fresh , clean, amazing aguachiles . The taco de pescado was Baja California on a plate , the fish was cooked to perfection, full of explosive flavors, a must . The caldito de pescado , wow, super good, great flavor , I thoroughly enjoyed the caldito , the shrimp cocktail was also very good, fresh and plentiful . I'm glad I finally made it out here and will definitely be back, this is the place for mariscos here in Tijuana if you ask me . read more

I am a huge fan of Javier Plascencia and his culinary work as you can tell from my reviews here on Yelp and my dinning in his establishments all over Baja; however, I was severely under impressed with this location. They brought me a menu that was on a clipboard and was obviously printed so it could be changed frequently it was at least five pages long. I got very excited perusing the menu. I found so many things I wanted to order and got very excited that I was going to have a remarkable meal one that I am accustomed to in a Javier Plascencia establishment. The waiter showed up to take our order and literally everything that I wanted to eat they did not have. I am not talking about one or two items but many many things. With a clipboard computer printer menu it should be easy to actually present what you have available not a dream list. Once I have been told for the fifth or sixth time that an item I want to order is not available I have pretty much lost interest in dining in the establishment. But we did stay and order and simply were not impressed with the food we were served. I hate to say it but I probably would not return. The three stars are for the cocktail and non seafood items read more

We are trying to eat in as many places as possible in our tj trip and the gf wanted mariscos so we came here since it was near our hotel. We ordered the cebiche peruano and it was great, a bit spicy but thankfully I ordered the IPA beer called "Lupulosa"! The beer has a 7 % alcohol so definitely hot the spot i guess that is why im still on the table writing this. I noticed some yelp reviews complaining about the servers not being on top but by the time I wanted the check I made myself notice to ask for the check and they took no time is providing it to me so the service was good. Great ceciche, awesome beer and good service. 5 stars all the way. read more

Erizo Market - Seafood Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

I was looking forward to trying out Erizo based on the excellent Yelp reviews. However, based on my experience with them yesterday, they've since dropped the ball. I'm surely not the only person who thinks so either. Even though we were there on a Friday night, the place was half-empty. With my boyfriend (Jorge A.'s review below with pictures), we ordered the octopus carpaccio (carpaccio de pulpo), scallop tiradito (tiradito de callo hacho), the tijuanero taco, the mesquite octopus (taco de pulpo mezquite), and the "Peruvian" ceviche (ceviche peruano). I thought the dinner was off to a good start when we got tostadas and packaged saltine crackers (saladitas) along with three salsas and little bowls of cilantro and onions. We also got a cup of shrimp soup/broth each which my boyfriend loved. He finished his and even had half of mine, and apparently it's a very traditional soup that his mom makes often. However, there was a bit of a problem with the physical table we were sitting at. It was extremely wobbly, so before he nabbed my cup of shrimp broth, a lot of it spilled all over the table. We ended up switching our seats. I sat at the more wobbly end because I tend to move less than he does, and he ended up sitting on the side. One of the servers noticed our change, and ended up coming over to ask if the table was wobbly, and he put something underneath one of the table legs to fix it. I really appreciated the server stepping in, but if this is a known problem with the tables, it might be a good idea to check before patrons take their seats. Aside from this, our experience was the service was strange. At some point, one of the servers (we had about three different ones taking turns attending--in some cases, ignoring--us) walked to our table and without saying anything removed the small cups of onions and cilantro from our table. As far as the food, I'm sad to say it was mediocre. I was excited by the dishes offered and was really hoping to like them. Octopus carpaccio: Drenched in soy sauce which made the octopus much too salty. Frankly, I ended up liking the garnishes on top more. There were cactus bits (nopal) along with avocado which worked well together. Scallop tiradito: Not particularly special or flavorful. There was nothing wrong with it though (which unfortunately means it was actually my favorite dish). The tostadas served with this were also stale. Tacos: Stale tortillas? Overheated tortillas? I have no idea, but it was in that moment I realized a good tortilla could make or break a taco. And in this case, I absolutely couldn't focus on anything except for how the tortilla tasted stale. Peruvian ceviche: They forgot corn. How could they possibly forget corn? Corn and squash are the cornerstone of Peruvian ceviche, and somehow they forgot it. As we were leaving, I mentioned to my boyfriend, "It tasted like food in San Diego." As a Tijuana native, he's extremely snobby about eating Mexican food in San Diego and prefers for us to cross the border for it, but even he couldn't help but agree. The prices weren't incredibly cheap either as all this rung in at about $62 USD, so there's just no real reason to come here. read more

I am a huge fan of this place. It has replaced los Arcos as my go-to in Tijuana. This is my favorite Javier Plascencia restaurant because it takes something that I love, ceviche, and adds a distinctively Baja touch to the ingredient list. Plus, they host some cool events like the OaxaCalifornia Fest and invite awesome chefs from other places to mix it up with the local ingredients. Everytime I go, I have to order 2 tijuanero tacos. Octopus, shrimp and cecina (salty meat) on a vampiro style taco with cheese and lightly toasted on the grill so it is almost crispy. I got the sea scallop last time and loved it. During the OaxaCalifornia Fest they did tamales with mussles and a sea urchin taco that were 'de no mames' good. For the gluten free crowd, you have to order the 'leche de tigre' sea urchin and quail egg shot without the ponzu sauce. It doesn't say on the menu, but sneeks it in there. The place is busy and parking is tough sometimes. I was parking at the mall on the corner of Sonora and Aguas Calientes. It is cheap and i like to get a coffee at the starbucks before hitting the border line. Put this place on your list. It is worth the trip to TJ. read more

Erizo Market - Atun Aleta amarilla - Seafood Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

Ok, let me start out by saying that I was very excited to visit this place, as it was recommended by many friends, and the reviews were more than encouraging. The first bad experience was with the service. The dinner started out horribly because the waiters and hostess were very distracted and negligent of myself and partner, and with no reason, as it was 6pm and the place only had three other parties. When the menus were brought to us, we were offered no water, and I had to wait for the waiter to come back so I could order it and a beer. The complimentary tostadas were stale and tough - this will be a recurring theme in this review - and we finished them before the waiter came back to offer us food. We waited twenty minutes for the waiter to approach us, and afterwards, we still were not offered more water, or another drink. The hostess approached us when our glasses of water were empty, and instead of refilling them, she takes our cilantro, for absolutely no reason. We ordered everything at once and in sets, in fear that we would have to wait another twenty minutes to order something else. The Carpaccio de Pulpo was great, but nothing special; the same goes for the Tiradito de Callo, which also didn't do anything impressive for me. The Tijuanero's contents were delicious, but man, the tortilla was burnt and felt like chewing dry paste. The pulpo mesquite taco was also great, but ruined by the same tortilla problem. My girlfriend and I really wanted to help this place redeem itself, so we ordered the Ceviche Peruano, which is a favorite of ours, and we have tried it and loved in different places. This was the biggest disappointment, mainly because it was missing a crucial ingredient, the very thing that makes it Peruvian: the corn! Yup, it had no corn; we were both shocked, and even more by the fact that it was very salty. Upon finishing, I waved to them several times so I could pay and leave, and they were deliberately ignoring me, whilst making eye-contact. I waited about five minutes, waving, and staring so I could get my check. What kept me from giving Erizo one star is the actual good taste of the tacos' content, which by itself, I am sure would have been a great dish. Overall, average food, terrible service. Skip and visit Lion Fish. read more

Restaurant: very pleasant inside and open air at the front facing a golf course and on a side street so not so much traffic. Waiters are dressed well and attentive so excellent service. Overall a nice venue. Food: had 3 dishes I can comment on 1) the JAIBA ENCHIPOTLADA was delicious. Seemed like the crab was bathed in some kind of chipotle mayo as tasted a bit smoky......with pickled onions and an avocado slice on top with black volcanic salt which was obviously smoked and so crunchy...overall I give it a 4/5 and very enjoyable' 2) PULPO AL MEZQUITE was juicy and tender and the tortilla so charred by the grill it was heavenly a 5/5 without question; 3) guacamole was killer.....the avo had a rich flavor and the perfect amount of onion/tomato/cilantro and nice and chunky with the fresh limes squeezed on top it was one of the best I have had in Mexico and that is saying a lot since guac is usually very good in Mexico no matter where you go it is a thing of pride + really good local avocados not the useless haas we get in the states (and to add insult to injury the guac was $2.40 for a large order. I was alone on this trip but considering all the options with gourmet effort applied to every item on the menu I will bring my spouse there on the next trip and spend a couple of hours sitting, slowly enjoying/sharing the variet of food dish by dish and the peaceful location. read more

Extremely impressed by the "Cucarachas" dish. The shrimps were so well cooked you didn't need to tear of their shells.

We went for lunch and ate like kings at Erizo. Our hotel was within very easy walking distance and we had great range of tacos and some fantastic pulpo. The seafood here is amazing and I made a great discovery with some of their mixed beer cocktails. There were some great choices to be had and my wife and I had several. Very reasonable prices, especially with the strong dollar. read more

Erizo is a great place to eat to enjoy tasty, creative, and fresh seafood. The meal starts with a seafood broth where you can add onion, cilantro, and squeeze soñé lime juice. There are too many choices to pick but the best thing is you cannot go wrong with any selection. Even though there is a fish icon next to the house favorites, I think whatever one selects, it will become your favorite. My favorite drink is the bohemio, a mix of bohemia cerveza, tamarindo top with Tajin. Next thing is the decide what tostada, ceviche, or taco to select. I prefer the tostada verde de camaron and who can avoid the perfect Ensenada fish taco? Other items I've enjoyed are the tacos de pulpo, el tripadito: pulpo con tripita, and gobernador. It is the best place in South of the border for fresh seafood, refreshing drinks, and a cool place to enjoy some mariscos and if you are lucky, you get to see Chef Javier Plascencia hanging out doing his work. Just follow the map and you are there within 10 minutes from the border. Enjoy! read more

This is the place to go of you want to see how the upper middle class live & they live good. All of chef Javier Placencia's restaurants are to notch, but this place gives a great example of what Baja brings to the Mexican culinary scene. The grilled tacos full of seafood & non traditional pairings like goat cheese, pesto and mushrooms create delectable bites! His ceviche verde is one of his signature dishes. It is fresh and tasty. The spice of the serranos does not over power the taste of the lime marinated fish and veggies. read more

This place hands down gets 5 stars. It was our first time eating at a more formal setting in Mexico and many people had told us it was good when we had passed it earlier that day, so we were expecting to eat well, but my expectations were surpassed. The staff was attentive and very friendly, and was very patient with me as my Spanish needs a lot of work. We ordered under platillos the Pescado zarandeado (spelling?) and tripe tacos and the taco Tijuanero and shrimp ceviche. Sadly I only got pics of the menu and ceviche :( but for any fellow Americans venturing into Mexico for the first time or just looking for a new place to eat, this is the place. Also, our dinner in US $ came out to about $50 which includes a bottle of wine, so it was very affordable considering how high end this place was. I recommend paying in pesos if possible. read more
