    La más mejor comida de Tijuana! Me encanto todo; las comidas, musicas, sientos, gente, y mas Definitely one of the places to stop by for Mexican food 10/10

    Ceviche peruano

    Such a nice restaurant. Everyone was welcoming. Ocean vibes and lovely decor. The food was so delicious. Loved the ceviche and it hit the spot.

    Jarrito! Best drink ever!

    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.

    Este Lugar Esta Muy Delicioso.Se los Recomiendo a todos que llegan a Tijuana. los Tragos estan para Quitar la Sed.

    This is the server who demanded a tip paying with card...After we giving him cash! Then he shook his head in an upset manner.

    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.

    Best consomé de pescado I've had. Tacos were loaded with crispy shrimp. Ordered fish and chips to share with my son, was not disappointed, fish was flaky shoestring fries were crunchy in a good way.

    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.

    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 .

    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

    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.

    Mixta para Picar Pulpo ,Camarón ,Callo de hacha - so good ! Ceviche verde Yum! Taco de pescado, Taco de Marlin, Taco Gobernador -- all was so delicious! Service was great & our was waitress was super nice, she helped use choose our food since it was our first time. We will definitely be back!

    Shot de Erizo con huevo de codorniz!  Sea urchin shot with quail egg!

    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.

    Best seafood restaurant in town. We had a few seafood meals in our 4 day stay in Tijuana and this one is clearly the best. We really enjoyed their Tuna ceviche and fish tacos. This place is very airy and tastefully decorated. Best part, free wifi.

What sold us was the photo of the Octopus SARTENEADO, & yes it was tasty, soft, & slow cooked in a well seasoned bath of butter. The rice has a hint of saffron, and the vegetables were nicely roasted. The table salsa is excellent and the complementary chips are doused in a bright red savory chili powder. We also ordered the trio of aguachiles, prepared with 3 different chiles; one green, one red, & lastly a dark blackened chili. Our favorite was the black aguachiles. They have plenty of mixed drinks & beer to offer, we had the hibiscus drink with mezcal. Everything is a 5 out of 5, including customer service. Heads up it's a very busy restaurant and parking is valet only. If you happen to have children with you they also have a separate play area for the kiddos; which is great if you happen to have an energetic toddler that needs a temporary distraction. The ambiance overall is very nice. I did notice it's somewhat casual to formal dinning, and very well staffed. It''s a great restaurant & I highly reccomend it.
