On Valentine's Day, we had an enjoyable evening dining at this exquisite restaurant. The ambiance was exceptional, characterized by a vibrant and positive atmosphere. The restaurant featured live music, and the waitress was bilingual in Spanish and English, which was a delightful addition. The cuisine was exceptional, and I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

El ambiente es muy bonito y el servicio excelente. Nos gustó mucho el taco, las conchas super frescas que nos ofrecieron, y los chilaquiles estaban buenos también. Un ambiente muy bonito y sofisticado los precios están muy acorde al lugar. Pero la comida es muy buena la verdad y el servicio no se diga.

Excellent restaurant if you liked seafood. The ambience and atmosphere is on point if you like sports and music. My family and I love the food and had a great time. We made reservations to seat in the terrace and were able to walk to our table as soon as we arrived. The service was great and the view from the terrace is superb. We tried different dishes and they were all excellent, except for the campechano cocktail. I will definitely be going back to this place.

We love coming here! We like both locations! And I already wrote a 5 star review on the other location! And I'll do the same here! This place is just so phenomenal! I love it love it love it! I go here at least twice a month maybe even more! I recently went to have an early bday celebration! And obviously without a doubt was amazing! I ordered for the first time the mazapán martini which was very very tasty, very delicious, not too strong not too light either. The mazapán they put inside gives it such an amazing flavor. My mon ordered her usual Michelucas as well as my fiancé. My sister got her horchata. For food we love to ordered the aguachiles Reyna! Super spicy but we love spicy good so we live getting those. We also ordered the camarones roca! You can't go wrong with that! The spicy Mayo suace they put it's so amazing! Pretty Much is breaded shrimp sautéed with spicy Mayo sauce. We got camarones cucaracha. They are very tasty! I ordered my favorite taco quesa Lion. It's very delicious! The tortillas is not corn is harina and uff amazing amazing! I also ordered my tostada especial with fresh tuna very delicious! My ordered tostadas de ceviche shrimp tacos. Gobernador. And a grilled big as fish!!! Everything was so so amazing! For dessert they brought out little pingüinos one for mon one for me because it was our bdays! They bring a little sparkle candle with music and a big happy birthday sign! Very very cute!! They make you feel very loved and very appreciated as a customer. Our server was phenomenal! Great great custoemr service. We also ordered a crepe and the churros! For all that our check was only 90 bucks! Like wow!! Amazing we prices as well!! We will Keep coming here!!! I highly recommend this plac

One of the best seafood places I have experienced. First, the parking can be valeted or you grab a ticket and pay it later. The cost is usually 5.00USD. As soon as you walk in, this place is packed. The hostess will most of the time open the door for you. We were warmly greeted and was brought to our table in the patio area. The view is beautiful. Our servers were constantly working like clock work and very attentive to us. Service here is excellent. We ordered so many different seafood plates and everything was fresh and flavorful. The food was excellent. The drinks here are great. The bartender has a heavy hand which is nice! **If you have children, no problem. There is a small section where the kids can play these video games and keep them occupied. Great idea! This restaraunt has a night clubish vibe and the energy is great here. The staff here is on point and they aim to please. If you are ever in the area, please stop by. You won't be disappointed!

If I could I'll give them 20 . Food was fresh and amazing. I had the botana especial. Be careful is for 5 people. I didn't know. It was amazing after cheering with everyone I had to take some to go. We came back 5 hrs later because my friend wanted to eat the spicy octopus tacos wich were amazing. So I ask if I could eat my leftovers , they said no problem. The food was amazing, now the service made all even better they like their job because each employee we came in contact with when over the top to help. Will be back..
We came to Mimosa Mia for breakfast with my husband, son, and me around 9 in the morning, and there was absolutely no wait. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by such kind and welcoming staff. The restaurant is gorgeous and has such a nice vibe beautiful space and a really great atmosphere. We were offered bread to start, and the white concha was so sweet and delicious. My husband and son had the Ferrero Rocher croissant and absolutely loved it. One thing that really stood out was that they have a room designated for kids and toddlers where they'll watch them while you eat for free. You can also keep an eye on them through a TV/camera setup, which is such a thoughtful touch for parents. They're also pet friendly, which I love. I got the chipotle cremosos chilaquiles with scrambled egg, and my husband got the Mimosa Mia chilaquiles. Both dishes were AMAZING and so flavorful. Everything looked just as good as it tasted. We definitely want to come back and try their mimosas next time because everything about this place was such a great experience. We'll absolutely be back! read more
Mimosa Mia brings the party to brunch the moment you walk in. The space--shared with Lionfish in the evenings--is decked out in festive decor, buzzing with high-energy, almost celebratory vibes that make it feel like an occasion even if it's just Sunday morning. Service was a bit of a mixed note. There's no shortage of staff, but warmth and attentiveness didn't quite match the lively atmosphere. Nothing bad, just not especially memorable. The mimosa flight is clearly the star of the show. Four different flavors arrive with a bit of flair, turning a simple drink order into a mini spectacle. It's fun, it's Instagram-friendly, and honestly, it sets the tone for the whole experience. Food-wise, things were solid but not standout. The birria tacos were flavorful and satisfying, but surprisingly small--easily the tiniest birria tacos I've come across, especially given the price point. That theme carried across the menu a bit: good taste, but portions that leave you wanting just a little more. Unexpected highlight? The supervised playroom. If you're dining with kids, this is a game changer. My nephews disappeared into it instantly--no hesitation, no goodbyes--which gave the adults a chance to actually relax and enjoy brunch. Overall, Mimosa Mia is more about the vibe than the food. Come for the energy, the drinks, and the experience--and maybe don't arrive starving. read more

This was my first time here! My friend recommended it and brought us today. When we arrived, there was a long line outside -- we were quoted a 20-minute wait but ended up waiting over an hour. Let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it. I ordered the poblano chilaquiles with an egg over medium, and they were incredible. The sauce was creamy, spicy, and full of flavor -- I left hours ago and I'm still craving more! I also had the Miche-Lucas michelada, which was sooo good -- sweet, tasty, and refreshing. I definitely should've ordered a second one. Highly recommend both! Can't wait to come back. read more

Drinks hit nicely, service is fast and friendly, great 3rd floor view - a little subpar if youre not on the windows but still nice. Quality food. Lonja, the quesatacos, are truly great. Make sure you have reservations. Dont come without, you'll have a time limit! Great spot - not too luxe not too run of the mill ambience wise. Highly recommend. I cannot repeat enough: COME WITH A RESERVATION!!!!!! read more

Best mariscos spot in TJ! Everything was amazing I really enjoyed the food I tried baked/breaded, fried, and lemon cooked / aguachiles. All was very good. Service was fast and friendly. I have tried many spots in TJ and they are always borderline mediocre, but this spot not only met my liking but raised the bar on my perception of TJ seafood. Will definitely only be coming back to this spot when I am in town and crave seafood. read more

FOREIGNERS BEWARE!!!! My friends and I travelled to lion Fish restaurant because it was highly recommended to us by a friend who lives in Tj. The food was tasty and we were able to read their menu the "English version" which made things very easy since we don't speak Spanish. The restaurant was clean and they had valet parking and the staff members were friendly "I think". We were so impressed that we planned on coming back in a few weeks. Everything was going great until it was time to pay for our meal, I ask for the bill from the waiter and he was gone for a while and I wonder what took so long. He returned with the receipt it had the total printed on the receipt like normal and on the corner of the receipt on the bottom hand written with ink pen was a service fee of over 1500 pesos. I asked him what the ink writing on the side was for and he told me it was a service fee. I asked him to explain what a service fee was... and he said it was a fee for all of the workers like the bartender, security etc. That didn't make much sense to me, then I asked him if I have to pay the service fee? He said no I don't, but that that's how they do it at their restaurants. I asked him if it was a tip? He said no, it's service fee. I told him I'll give him a tip on the side, Then I gave him a $20 bill. I thought he was going to be happy with that but no. Then he said ...you don't wanna pay the service fee? I told him... no I'm not paying the service fee because I didn't have anything to do with the bartender or everybody else...he was the only one that served me and he was the only one I was going to tip. He told me not to worry, I asked for the receipt and he handed me the receipt and left. I noticed him and a few of the other waiters gathering and whispering to each other and staring at my friends and I. It's really made us feel uncomfortable and then all of a sudden one of them came to us and asked for the receipt back aggressively. I told him I'll give him the receipt back but he has to give me a copy. He left with the receipt and came back with another receipts that looks similar to the first one they gave me but without the hand writing on the side for the service fee. That proved to me right away that they were trying to pull a fast one on us because we were foreigners. I called my friend that recommend the place to us and he assured me they have never charged him for a service fee. The waiter that helped me with some skinny guy with purple or platinum or violet hair color and his English was fair. I wish I had taken a picture of the first receipt they gave us but I didn't. I only have a picture of the second receipt they brought back. We won't be going back!!! And I would not advise any foreigner to go there! read more

The food today was sad. Every shrimp on my plate was over cooked and dry. The only thing that wasn't over cooked was the aguachiles and that's cause those are bathed in lemon juice so it's cooked by the natural acids of the limes. I think today was a fluke because we have come three other times and ordered the exact dishes and the only dish that didn't disappoint was the raw shrimp. Now let's talk about the service. My son is 8, and he was feeling very I'll, we brought his vomit baggy in the case he needed to use it we also brought his water with his drops in it so he can maybe try to eat something while there. We were starving! It had been a long day in Tj and we got lost so many times trying to find the clinic that we were at the end of our patience meter, well these people didn't let me son in with his water, they forced us to leave it at the front desk, and I spoke to the server there, and explained the situation and they said it was because of consumption business, but we couldn't get him soda or anything else (it's Mexico water) so we had to swallow the food and then leave to get him something else and had him drink his water. This place can go copulate with itself. We will not be coming here EVER again, and we will not be recommending this place to our friends and community. They lost customers but also gained bad publicity all at once because I will make sure that anyone who mentions this place knows exactly what kind of establishment this is. read more

Over Rate it! to have a great snack time with friends or coworkers is excellent, However they state that they are excellent food wise. I disagree, the food is not they serve small plates, EXPENSIVE, and worst of all, Food Sucks! as mentioned, place is nice and clean but is not the same way as far is food.(service is also good) Other places serve fresher, testy, greater portion for much less price than this one. sorry I disagreed with this overrated place. read more

Okay okay, SUPER FRESH. Great tasting. I got 2 fish tacos and a coctel and the coctel was a big portion for the large. Shared with my husband because it was a lot. I got shrimp and octopus. read more
Excellent food, drinks, and service! Loved their tableside cocktails, please tip accordingly. We had the camarones roca as appetizers (battered fried shrimp in a sweet sauce) I also had an aguachile flight (traditional, mango, tamarind, and salsa negra) as my main entree. SO ordered a campechana (mixed seafood cocktail). The carajillos here are to die for! We couldn't order a tableside dessert, the lady that usually does them is there on the weekends, but I did manage to try the Lion Fish crepes, so delicious! Will definitely be coming back! read more

Do not come here if you do not speak Spanish. They treated us terribly and the service was truly awful. The food was okay (not great). There are better places for seafood in Tijuana with better prices and better service (whether you speak Spanish or not). They sat us next to their silverware and plate cart. Twice, someone hit my husband with a plate (once quite hard) and never apologized or even acknowledged that they had hit him. We pointed to every dish we wanted on the menu. One thing never came and they also brought one thing that was the wrong dish. They even charged us for the wrong item! The really disgusting thing - at one point when they were clearing a table, they splashed something from a dirty used plate into my husband's eye! Once again no apology - despite the fact that it is the time of COVID. If you come here and do not speak Spanish, expect: 1. To get the worst table in the restaurant 2. Terrible service 3. To be at risk of being hit by something or have something dirty splashed on you 4. To pay expensive prices for mediocre food. We will most definitely not return. read more

Had the best scallops tostados ever! The menu indicated it was spicy, and I can handle some spice, but not too much. It was only a little spicy with a great lime sauce. Language was a little challenging because of my limited Spanish, but the staff was very nice and patient with my lack of understanding. read more
