The food, drinks and deserts are amazing. Great customer service and very interesting decor.

The place was the first stop from arriving to Mexico. It seemed like a restaurant from back home. We ordered the tacos which were so good! I would totally come back here. Our tacos were more seafood than meat. They also provided a variety of sauces. The sweet ones were my favorite! read more

I was very impressed by the tacos at Kokopelli. Even though I only had one taco, that one taco was really good. Living in LA for most of my life, I have had an opportunity to try so many varieties of tacos, but honestly, when I bit into the Kraken, which is an octopus fusion taco, I literally felt pleasantly euphoric. The taco was really that good. It was even better with all the varieties of salsa that they give you. I took a picture of the salsas although I'd avoid Lucifer's tears as it will make you tear up literally. Perhaps they could have AC at this place, but in lieu of AC, I was drinking one of their craft beers called "Nocturna" to stay cooler. I loved the vibe of this place in general as it was very hipster. The employees here were so nice. They even spoke English even though I could have spoken to them in Spanish. I would highly recommend coming to this place if you are in Tijuana. read more

Amazing food and amazing service. We stopped here with a crew of people and the staff handled our crowd with friendly finesse. They have an open view of the kitchen and you could see chile's roasting on an open flame. A cold selection of local Mexican craft beers in the fridge. I was able to have a local craft brew n a bottle and that was tasty! I tried a Horchatta flavored craft beer. The bathroom was cozy clean. The sink was located outside the bathroom and was a bit of a tight squeeze but had a neat view to look out the window. The food was also good. I had an octopus taco. It was cooked just right, not chewy like octopus can sometimes be. And the flavor was amazing. The pricing was fair for the beer and taco's. I would make a trip to come back here again. read more

I'm gonna need a thesaurus to find additional words to describe how f'cking amazing this place is. You sons of b!tches want artisan, well here you go. The menu leans towards seafood/veggie tacos & tostadas. As handcrafted as they wanna be with tortillas made in-house & that flight of salsas they bring out! *dies & goes to heaven* Beginning with pickled onions, to tangy & spicy salsa to death metal heat! Octopuse, salmon, shrimp, ceviche, portobello mushroom, pesto, chimichurri, mango & pomegranate seeds all make it on the menu & the chef somehow makes it work so beautifully. Your entire meal including a couple of craft beers won't even make a dent on your wallet. A definite must if ever in TJ. A definite must!! Your Homegirl, Violy read more

Unforgettable "designer" seafood tacos south of the border. Named after the deity of the Hopi Indians, this restaurant serves upmarket gourmet tacos with pretty fancy names. I ordered the "Kraken", "Gringos en Vacaciones" and "Pibil". The "Kraken" is an octopus taco with a special marinade, "Pibil" is smoked marlin and "Gringos en Vacaciones" is marinated shrimp with a chilli pepper on the inside. The tacos were stuffed with clearly premium ingredients in interesting marinades and non-standard combinations. Some came pretty nicely decorated as well. After those three, I wished I had more stomach space to cram in a few more tacos before I had to get back across the border. It took me a while to find this place as there weren't many road signs and the information on the internet wasn't particularly precise. It is a couple of blocks from the Plaza Rio shopping mall and Cuauhtémoc statue, close to the intersection of Cuauhtémoc Sur Poniente and Rio Suachiate. Search for 2133 Cuauhtémoc Sur Poniente Tijuana BC Mexico in Google Maps. This is a sit-down restaurant with valet service, pricey by mexican standards (but okay after the exchange rate). They clearly cater mostly to the locals, and nobody expected "turistas" like myself to walk on in, mumble bad Spanish and gesture at the menu. I look forward to my next trip south of the border. You can find them on facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/tkokopellirio read more

We ordered the Gringo En Vacaciones, the Rasta and the Kraken tacos. The first two were our favorites. We also ordered the Maui Waui and Aluxe both also very delicious! The service was fast and they even break down both US dollars and pesos on the recipient which is very helpful. We walked in with about 25-30ppl, the service was prompted and very friendly. Thank you we all left extremely happy. read more

Kokopelli had an amazing variation of flavors that danced in your mouth. I started with an Insurgente cerveza Tiniebla and a Chicano taco (I am a Chicana), with pulpo abd nopales. My foodie niece had a michelada with a taco de caracol that was very savory. We shared a plate of costillitas raspadas trying the different salsas. I loved the pineapple and the one w cacahuate. I tried the Gringo en vacaciones taco filled w camarones, queso, y chile California. Also I tried the Rasta taco with camarones, pesto, y hongos. The aguachile Maui waui was very refreshing as well. Great place with very unique flavors. read more

I ordered the pulpo (octopus) tacos for which Kokopelli is known. They were pretty good: not knock my socks off though. The octopus was grilled with a slight char and somewhat tender. I don't think that I would return though. read more

What can I say that hasn't been already been said? These Artisan tacos are amazing! We made it our days' mission to find this place, and thanks to a fellow Yelper here, found it easily. Cab ride from the border to the Rio Plaza mall was $6 USD. After window shopping there, it was a quick 10 minute walk to Kokopelli. Be forewarned, the hot sauces they bring out to your table were mostly hot! At least to us they were. read more

Tijuana has earned its reputation as the silicon valley of tacos, where the adventuresome nature of local chefs combines in endless creativity with the bounty of local seafood, produce and meat. Kokopelli started on the cutting edge as a food truck and now has this permanent location but listen, the integrity of Kokopelli survived the growth. This place is weird, in an awesome way. From the Pagan fertility god to the cocktail that tasted like al pastor, chapulines with salsa negra, squid ink tostada, to the music and culture going on inside here. Cutting edge delicious street food with weird warm vibes. read more

4 stars for service. kokopelli is now known as TRAS HORIZONTE. Never again. One word......diaherria!!!!!!!!! The food was mediocre. Nothing special n definitely not worth the $$$. The concept is tredy n interesting, hence our decision to eat there but NOT WORTH IT. read more

Wanna have tacos with a unique spin?? Then this is your place! Their menu is pretty special. We had the opportunity to order the gringo on vacation and the kraken. The tacos come with a nice selection of 6 different sauces. The gringo on vacation comes with a green chile (think of chile relleno) avocado and shrimp. The green chile was not spicy, but it gave it a great kick. Definitely nothing you have tried before. The kraken came with fresh grilled octopus. Although, I preferred the gringo the kraken was not a bad option if you like octopus. As a plus side this small taco join offers a great selection of craft beers. The service is pretty good and the atmosphere is laid back and relaxed. I would definitely recommend this place if you want to try something different. read more

oh yeah! kokopelli is legit! gourmet TJ tacos...so darn delish!!! I was conservative and only had 1 taco since i knew today would be a day of eating... i selected one of the marlin tacos (in a red sauce)...can't recall the name (the first on the list of tacos)...it was sooo good! the octopus taco is supposed to be the best...and they had a taco that had shrimp stuffed in a chile pepper and all that in a tortilla (hence a taco)...it looked so good! wish i had the room to try more things... i guess i'll have to come back. place was clean... rest rooms super clean... good beer selection...you pick a bottle from fridge and they will add it to your bill when they take your food order. looking forward to my return visit read more

When you visit TJ, if you can manage to not eat TJ traditional tacos (I know it's hard), then you must check out this place! I brought several friends here a few months ago, they raved about it so much that friends that missed out got jealous... so we went again couple weeks after. While most dishes are good, I find their sea food to be really fresh, so I stick to that. The aguas frescas are also great. And, their craft beer selection is also fantastic. Probably pricier than standard. But I personally find them worth the price. read more

Greatest tacos ever. You must try the ..... hhhhhmmm .... ALLLL OF THEM!!! That's how good they are. So here is what makes them so great. The mixologist makes the waters of whatever fruit on the menu daily (pleas take a look at the picture). My picture are not going to be of food because you have seen those already, but more about how they prepare daily. The QA. Factor is a must for us Gringos. Their water to make their drinks (waters/aguas) comes from a filtered potable water tank separate than the tap water. When you visit this place you are getting grade A quality. Not your typical tacos down the street but superb everything from the local brewers to fresh fish from local fisherman. This is must in your bucket list. Cheers!!!! read more

This is a must try in TJ. I tried both octopus tacos (Kraken & Chicano), both were some of the best tacos I've ever eaten. Great service, cool vibe, and tasty mezcal drinks! read more

The food was excellent, from a chefs twist of street food to an exquisite Mexican cuisine. There is a variety of salsas ranging from pickled onions to a sweet yet spicy pineapple salsa "Espuma del Mar" and ending with "Lucifer's tears" (Lagrimas de Lucifer). The atmosphere is awesome filled with the friendliest employees, after we I left I felt like I made friends! Ivan was the coolest of course! They have a wide selection of Mexican craft beers! Which is another plus! The decor is super cute too! I had the PAMBAZO de ATUN, I posted a picture, then devoured it! Gracias Ivan! Nos vemos pronto! read more

Came here on a Tuesday luckily we arrived at 12:40 and they open at 1pm. We waited a bit and were the first guest. Greeted with a smile we sat at the hightop tables. The decor is cool on the inside. Lots of lights. The outside lot needs some work. The place filled up quickly. We started with the fresh cucumber water best i ever had, and chips & salsa(s)! Every salsa was good! We ended up buying the pineapple and the habanero (pink sauce) to go. We started with The Maui aguachiles bomb! Then i ordered the Pibil, Octopus, and shrimp tacos i forgot the names but they were all delicious. Next we split the costilla and i also ordered the panela taco with chapulines (grasshoppers). I felt like that taco was missing something. Ended the feast with their flambéed banana dessert which was really tasty. I wasnt drinking or i would have tried at least 3 cocktails.! Cocktail menu looked awesome. Great service. Ill be back soon. read more

I just got back to Tijuana after a year and a half of living in the U.S. and the first place I had to go to was Kokopelli for their octopus taco. I've had Kokopelli since its food truck was the only location. The owners have always been cool, down to earth guys with brilliant, innovative ideas. The hot sauce! God, it's good, but if you have too much of it, you'll sweat bullets for days. Favorite tacos in Tijuana, hands down. read more

The drinks wee awesome! The shrimp tacos were Delicious. We tasted several dishes everything that was brought out to us was Excellent. The mixologie of the differnt dtinks was so good and different. I had to post a picture of everthing that we ordered. Sopes de borrego were the Best that is if you llike lamb. The scallops with avocado cherry tomatoes were Excellent too you dont know what to order. I asked our bartender for his in put on each dish. Everthing he recommend was Excellent. That is why I am given tjis restaurant five stars. There salsa each had a story behind them. read more

Super good tacos! Ordered the Marlin poblano, Marlin pibil and the "Kraken". All were really good, but my favourite was the Kraken followed by the poblano... The octopus was grilled to perfection before being chopped up with a huge cleaver. The poblano is like having a chille rellano with fish wrapped in a tortilla-- amazing! Really loved the selection of salsas presented and found the beet habanero to be the most unique but loved the peanut salsa the most. Decent selection of TJ local beers too. read more

Simply the best tacos. There is a culinary level of excellence that Kokopelli exceeds in all aspects. These are incredible gourmet tacos like no other. I tried 7 different tacos and all were amazing. read more

Everything taste like cinnamon, this is a Mexican place and it should have Mexican flavor this restaurant taste like a American restaurant wannabe Mexican, sorry but I was so exited to try this place and I'm just so disappointed my oysters taste horrible i couldn't even eat them and they still charge me for the plate, even when I returned the plate. At the end we realized that this is no longer tacos kokopelli it's a fusion between them and something else called Tras Horizonte but that something else ruined all the good Taste of the original kokopelli. Sorry but not coming back read more

I would definitely go eat here again, but I would take more adventurous people with me. Took my mom to lunch and she was not a fan, food is definitely an adventure. Tacos are very good. read more

Unusual and fantastic sort-of hole in the wall taco place. Parking is not great but they parked my car for me and it was just fine. You will never find tacos like this anywhere. Really amazing, different. I want to go back with a group so we can order many kinds and pass them around to taste the array. read more
