    Steak fajitas a lot of food , 5 out of ten for taste
    Mike J.

    I was here years ago and had a so-so experience, my wife's family wanted to go here so I got dragged along. We were met by a very nice waiter and got a table outside. My wife ordered carna asada and the family all ordered fish. I ordered the steak fajitas. I was really shocked on how much meat was on this plate, almost enough for two people. I did have to ask for flour tortillas 4 times before receiving them. The fajita taste was a little strange but not in a bad way, just not in a fajita way. The cuts were more like s stringy subway steak. I would give it a 5 out of 10 for taste and quality. Bathrooms- wow this place has great bathrooms! I was very surprised. Ive been to places close by that have shitty bathrooms -pun intended. It was very clean and made me feel a whole lot better about the cleanliness of the establishment. Atmosphere - I would give it a 10 if you like people watching and mariachis playing in the background. It was very fun! Price was not bad at all for 5 people it was around $70 dollars.

    Great place to eat.

    The food is very good. The service is also good. They speak English. I recommend the fried fish and fish soup. It's a very pleasant environment. I didn't like when they asked to see my ID to pay with my credit card.

    Carnitas fajitas

    Love the service and we had to come back again with Bryan there food is really good you won't regret

    Seafood molcajetes
    Darci W.

    I love this place! The food & drinks are amazing. And great service (from Pako!) He recommended the molcajete, and we got one with seafood & one with steak & lots of other stuff (I don't remember exactly what all was in it, but it was delicious.) Great price on really great tequila. We only get down to Tijuana once a year (if we're lucky), and this is the only place we'll go for lunch here now. We've tried a few other places, and none are nearly as good. It's the best & I hope to be back soon!

    Pancakes, eggs, bacon and ham.

    I was first attracted To all of the bright colors inn the decor, then the host outside showed me their seafood menu and I was "hooked"! Great octopus and fish ceviche, very fresh and made right in front of us. Seafood is pricy though.

    We've stopped here twice on trips to Tijuana. Great people watching spot. Cold beers and excellent carne asada tacos. Service is excellent.

    This was our second trip to Tijuana & this place has THE BEST tacos & salsa of any other we have tried. I had the spicy shrimp taco. It comes grilled with a slice of avocado on a corn tortilla & is awesome. My husband had the shrimp tacos that are not spicy because he is too gringo for caliente! He also had tortilla soup & said it was the best he has had. The salsa has a good amount of kick to it. I LOVED it, but gringo husband couldn't eat it. If you eat outside, you get the full experience of an occasional mariachi band as well as live entertainment a few stores away. This, was possibly my husband's favorite part of the day.

    Worst restaurant ever drinks were terrible and the waiter tried to rip us off charging us $180 when drinks are $149!

    Waiter tried to rip us off!! Drinks we're watered down nothing special or good about the place. Tables and plates were dirty when I confronted our waiter about the price he walked away

    Molcajete Tradicional for 3. Beautifully made and delicious meal!!
    Cynthia R.

    Marinated steak, chicken, chorizo, fresh queso, and shrimp; served with refried beans and flavored rice, pico de gallo and guacamole. The meal was served with 6 handmade corn tortillas. We ordered the serving size to feed 3 but could have easily fed 4. We used apps to translate from spanish to english along with help from a bilingual passer by. Three men offered to sing but we declined-this time. We ate our meal outside in the open air and the waitress brought extra napkins and lime to enhance the flavors of the tacos. Total price was $33 USD...I converted from peso to dollars before the meal to ensure we would pay for the meal and tip-same as we would in the US. I dreaming about going back.

    What a surprise! I happened to be in the area and I knew I had to try this restaurant out…read more I saw this restaurant on instagram. And it's a little bit of a drive from where I live. But today I happen to be in the area and I told my husband to try this place out. He was so happy! Once you place your order out waitress came with a big plate of sweet bread and you get to pick one! I picked the concha and my husband got the pineapple empanada! We ordered a bit of everything. My husbands go to meal always is chilaquiles. So he ordered the DIVORCIADOS $16.50 Half green and half red with carne asada and beans. We also got the CARNE EN SU JUGO $15.99 And I got the MENUDO ROJO $15.50 Let me start off by saying everything was amazing! It all tasted like it was homemade! Perfectly seasoned, with hand made tortillas. The carne en su jugo was really good! I understand why they are known for that dish. I loved my Menudo! I was craving it and it was perfect. The chilaquiles, the chips weren't soggy, they still had a bite to them. The sauces had so much flavor! My husband and I left with full bellies and a big smile on our faces! All the waitresses and waiters were so nice! Diego was telling us the story of the restaurant. Which was nice to hear. All family owned. Hopefully they open another restaurant close to us!!! Fingers crossed! I will definitely come back to Thai restaurant and recommend it to all my family and friends!

Somebody in that kitchen Cares about what they're making for Me & You, and I can taste it ,in every bite of food. The lettuce , tomatoe, and all veggies are always fresh and super clean as is the restaurant. We met Diego today, he is the owners son,very respectful, courteous and attentive as were the waitresses. I highly recommend you come and try. Muchas Gracias El Rincon

Didn't realize they close at 2pm and literally ran out of the convention center and sped straight here. Hooooooly this was hands down the best birria I've ever eaten, the handmade tortillas are perfection (can also get crispy tortilla), the ramen is spicy and amazingly seasoned, the birriaquiles interesting, and the staff SO friendly! Like the friendliest I've met in a long time too. The girl taking my order took the time to ask about options for everything since I didn't know and wasn't ordering it correctly. I'm really glad she asked about the tendon cause that was bomb--if you love braised beef shank, the tendon is a must. We got here kind of late, almost closing time, and they were beyond helpful with a big-ish dine in order and two to-go orders. I genuinely loved everything and was wolfing it down lol (my pants are now tight). I will absolutely be back, hopefully sooner than later.
