Combinación mexicana unas saladas otros sin sabor
Maribel A.

Muy bonita la casa pero la verdad con la calor que está haciendo y sin aire acondicionado la verdad es la segunda razón por la cual no vuelvo se siente sofocado ahí la primera razón es que la comida no está buena no tiene sabor y los platillos no son lo que dice el menú por ejemplo las enchiladas huastecas nada que ver y ni como se sirven a unos platillos les faltó sal a otros se les pasó pero nada tenía sabor más que a sal o nada había otra mesa de gente y decían lo mismo que no estaba bueno aparte que el servicio estuvo mal estuvimos esperando al mesero por más de 20 minutos para pagar y nunca llegó mejor nos ayudó la mesera de la otra mesa tome fotos de los platos la verdad estaba emocionada de probar pero me decepcionaron

Such a great great place I'm so glad we stumbled onto this little gem in playas de Tijuana. I love a good backstory when it comes to restaurants and this one is insane. Nice little house built into a restaurant you could tell the kitchen is still made into a normal house kitchen. They use the rooms as a place to eat just awesome awesome environment and story. Now the food itself was amazing. The tacos that I got were delicious not dripping in oil, which was amazing to see my wife got the Gorditas and those were delicious. You could just taste the homemade flavor food. Our waiter encouraged us to take a little walk in the restaurant since it wasn't too busy and definitely worth the time.. the food we got was recommended by the server and I cannot disappoint. See the pictures of what we got definitely a great place and I will definitely return.

I found this gem on yelp I've been to Tijuana multiple times through the years but this place is different. It's intimate romantic classy. I would bring my parents here. The food is delicious. 10 out of 10. The customer service is great. I will definitely come back.

Este restaurante, está estupendo literalmente es una casa. Se encuentran un poco escondido pero al entrar te encuentras con una casa muy Bonita y es una experiencia muy padre te ase sentir como en casa . La comida deliciosa súper recomendable

Enchiladas de  mole de rosas  y cafe de olla
Manny P.

Todos los platillos que ordenamos estuvieron muy ricos el servicio estuvo excelente y el ambiente muy agradable

Enmoladas Lety

wow, is the first thought as I bit into this plate. The chili stuffed with a perfectly folded egg and nopal topped with a crema. The rolled tortilla filled with queso fresco and topped with a subtle pink mole sauce. The service was incredible, I was greeted with complimentary frijoles, chips and salsa. My coffee was topped multiple times keeping the warmth in every sip. I sat in the garden area of the restaurant, where you can enjoy the freshness of being outdoors without the sun hitting you. I will absolutely be back!

The place is literally like a house, hence the name. The service was fast but unfortunately the food la led flavor. They do have a great café del la olla and a lady making fresh tortillas :)

Outdoor patio w/fountain.

Loved breakfast here. We're mid-pandemic and they are taking all precautions to ensure safe dining, including: temp check, sanitizer at entrance, patio dining, 6 ft distancing, employees wearing masks. Thank you for being neurotic about all our safety. Delicious food! My husband got the menudo, and I got the veggie omelette. Bonus: fresh handmade blue corn tortillas!

Food: 4 Ambience: 5 Decorations: 5 (old home antiques!) Service: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Parking: 2 (limited street parking only) Prices: 5 Very reasonable La Casa de Don Juan is literally the former home of Don Juan. The charming and elegant home is now transformed into a delightful restaurant open for breakfast and lunch, open till 5 PM, serving mostly Mexican traditional cuisine. I was there for a special group event, so we were given a beautiful private room upstairs. There were about 15 of us. Otherwise I would have enjoyed the patio dining near the fountain. I was arriving from out of town and had not yet checked into my hotel. So I asked permission to leave my luggage in the office, and they were glad to oblige. In fact, one of the young men offered to help me bring in my bags. The whole staff was very helpful and friendly. I ordered the tostadas de carne deshebrada (shredded beef). I received three, well loaded tostadas. I would have enjoyed a bit more cream or avocado, but they were very good, especially with the habanero hot sauce! Others in my group ordered chile rellenos which almost made me regret ordering the tostadas. The chile en nogada looked especially delicious. I really enjoyed the old furnishings, antiques, family photos, and the beautiful decorations around the home. It felt less like a restaurant and more like going to eat at a friend's hacienda. The bathrooms were very clean. Everything was clean. The service was excellent, and the wait staff was very friendly and competent. Parking is very limited, and the place is difficult to find because it doesn't look like a restaurant, and the trees in front are covering up parts of the building. But once you get there it's definitely worth it. I really enjoyed it and look forward to returning.

Came here based on yelp pics and dollar sign. It should be updated... more or so to two $$ signs. The portions and food were great mind you. But for this area, its a little pricey. Delicious and great service, but I think I'll stick to other places in area where prices are somewhat more fit ands serve the same items.

Muy rico todo

I eat at Malvet every time I'm in playas and I'm never disappointed. The food is delicious and the…read moreservers are very attentive. The ambience is just beautiful. I really feel like I'm treating myself when I come here.

After seeing so many positive reviews on TikTok, we decided to bring our family here for breakfast…read moreduring our vacation in Rosarito. Overall, it was a very good experience, but not quite a 5-star visit. The food was fresh and delicious, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. While we waited for our meal, they brought out a complimentary dessert and fresh fruit plate, which was a thoughtful touch and a nice surprise. One thing to keep in mind is that they don't allow outside drinks. Our server politely informed us that my daughter couldn't have her Gatorade inside the restaurant. It wasn't a huge deal, but I wish there was a little more flexibility for families with young kids. The other reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the seasoning. While the food was good, I felt it needed a little more flavor. Maybe our taste buds in the U.S. are just used to stronger seasoning, but I found myself wishing for a bit more salt and seasoning to really make the dishes pop. Overall, the food quality is excellent, the complimentary fruit and dessert were a nice touch, and I can definitely see why this place is so popular. I'd still recommend giving it a try and would come back the next time I'm in Rosarito.

This place is amazing. I always come to this restaurant for brunch whenever I'm in Mexico or nearby…read moreTJ, I love coming back and when I do I always make sure to get the chilaquiles I loveeee the ribeye chilaquiles, the ribeye is packed with flavor, the chilaquiles are well cooked and amazing salsa, the drink menu is perfect I always like having a good amount of options. The price for the food and the drinks is unbeatable for how good the food and drinks are. The service is spectacular they're always attentive and make sure everything is going just fine, as for the atmosphere and overall restaurant vibe it's very calm with a nice elegant feel to it even tho it's a small eating area, the presentation of food and drinks is amazing I love the theme they're going with, and not to mention you're also near by the beach I absolutely love this place and I always keep coming back, if you're looking for a lowkey brunch spot with amazing food, drinks, and service this is the spot. Don't skip it !!

Good: *Waiter and host was very courteous and professional…read moreand kind. *I like how they put the check inside a mini book of questions to ask Saint Michael. *The who we had was good the French toast was great. The omelette with frijoles and potatoes was great. *The mango mimosas were good. *The café de Olla was natural. It was average. *They gave you a piece of pumpkin bread before you eat while you're waiting for your food. *The restaurant was clean with a small Catholic feel to it. *Parking outside was OK. Bad: * Very small café not good for large group parties. * A bit more pricey for the quality of food and drinks. * They prefer USD dollars or card. Conclusions: Due to the great services we were provided by the waiter, and if we're ever back in La Playas for breakfast or brunch, we would go back to San Miguel restaurant. I will highly recommend you try it.
