    Lorenza used to be one of my go to spots when I was in Mexico, but lately I feel like the quality has gone down not just in the food, but in the service as well. I had an issue with one of the servers, and instead of acknowledging the situation, the manager made me feel like it was somehow my fault. I left feeling unheard and disappointed. The place itself is still beautiful the decor is great, and the location is in a really nice, safe area. But unfortunately, the poor service and how management handled the situation really affected my overall experience.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND celebrating a special occasion at Lorenza in TJ or just specifically going down to devour the most AMAZING Short rib tacos with bone marrow!! Not kidding would drive down here just for those tacos! They are that good! The aguachile and oysters were delicious and so fresh and the chocolate cake can feed 7 people easily! Did not expect how big this dessert was! Ambiance is beautiful inside and out and the service from all the staff was very attentive, friendly and professional! Lorenza is an outstanding dining experience! Can't wait to go back!

    I have been to a good amount of restaurants, from Vegas to other parts of Mexico. Lorenza has bY far in my opinion been one of the best dining experiences I have ever enjoyed having. Every dish, every drink was perfectly executed. The service was a 20/10. Perfect for date night. Night with friends, or bring your coworkers too. I'm from LA, I'll be coming back hopefully next month to bring my loved ones here to try!

    Our recent dinner at Lorenza was a great experience. It is our friends' go-to spot when they're in Tijuana. The atmosphere is beautiful and modern. What we enjoyed: -The buttery bone marrow was rich and indulgent and a standout. -The ceviche Malecón was a fun surprise--fresh with a twist from the chamoy and peanuts. - Tender short rib and perfectly grilled octopus were delicious. -The chicharrón de ribeye was our friends' favorite, though it was a bit dry this time. To top it off, we shared the massive chocolate cake--enough for four adults and a toddler. The service was attentive and there's even a kids' room where little ones are happily watched so you can actually enjoy your meal in peace.

    Lorenza, located in Plaza Paseo Chapultepec in Tijuana, is celebrated for its blend of traditional Mexican cuisine and modern culinary techniques. The ambiance is sophisticated yet inviting, making it ideal for special occasions or a memorable meal. Favorite menu standout dishes like the signature Taco De Amigos, slow-cooked short ribs and unique bone marrow. Impressive Desserts tres leches cake. Though priced slightly above local norms, diners often consider the exceptional food, attentive service, and elegant setting well worth the cost. Must try, Tres Leches, Tacos Del Amigo, Taco Del Patron.

    A MUST TRY! TOP NOTCH! I was in Tijuana for a dental-related and came across this restaurant! The place and the ambiance were nice. This place serves seafood, steak, and of course tacos so we ordered them! We loved them all! The salsas were so tasty! The drinks were delicious and strong! But the star of the day was the service! OMG they were all attentive and we felt like royalty! VERDICT: I WILL COMEBACK

    Wow wow wow, food is so amazing from the apps to main course. Highly recommended the octopus, enough to share with all. Service was so excellent, impressive to say the least. Staff ready and friendly available to serve to an amazing meal. Inside is just as beautiful, it really makes the experience wonderful. Just an amazing time.

    We Californians need to recognize and accept that, across the southern border from San Ysidro, the city of Tijuana in Mexico, is becoming a significant and dynamic dining destination. The restaurants in this town can easily compete and even rival any of their counterparts in the culinary hot spots of major US cities. I am now on a sporadic, but focused journey to discover all of these gastronomic temples in Tijuana. My recent find is Lorenza, located in a spot that has several of these well anchored eateries. Walking into Lorenzo, you are just blown away by the awesome ambiance, interior decor, the most prominent being the stunning painting above the bar. Then there are the immaculate dining tables that highlight Mexican design and architecture. I spent almost 3 hours at my table, during which time I slowly selected and ordered several dishes. You begin with the complimentary tray of dips, salsa and chips. I started with the Ostiones Al Jaspor (baked oysters in a special Chef's marinade). Then the Manolo El Pescador (a creamy seafood soup). This was followed by Camarones Europeos (Shrimps). After that, Taco Del Patron (essentially a jumbo shrimp on a blue tortilla). Let's not forget there was also garlic toasted bread. Please see my pictures for these amazing presentations. So how was the food? I have to tell you at the onset, I was blown away. The whole experience was exhilarating. Every dish was better than the other. The Chefs really have a knack of treating seafood like it should be. I don't know how they do it. The oysters and both my shrimp dishes had amazing texture, taste, and flavor that I have to say I have not experienced anywhere else. And the service, 4 to 5 servers, including the manager, constantly attending to me, making me feel very special. Periodically checking, making sure everything was OK. Thank you Lorenza ....what an amazing and unforgettable dining experience. Muchas Gracias, Senors, Senoras y Senoritas.

    If you saw the hype on Tiktok, it is worth it! There's an indoor and outdoor section with different vibes (music wise). The staff were friendly and answered any questions + gave amazing recommendations. If you'd like to see their cuts of meat, don't be afraid to ask. favorites: Tuna Tartare and Agua de Vida

    De Atún

    While we made reservation for Saturday afternoon, we were told it wasn't necessary since they barely opened the door at 1PM. It was for 1:15 PM. When you walked, you are in awe with the decor and ambience of the restaurant. By far, this place has the best service I ever had. They are on top of everything. Always checking to make sure we are doing ok, to pushing in the chairs for the ladies. Our utensils and plates were constantly getting replaced after finishing a dish. We got complimentary chips and sauces. We ordered a few dishes to try as a group and individually. Here's what we ordered: Ostiones Al Josper - Baked oysters marinated in sauce over a bed of rice pilaf. Enchiladas de langosta - Lobster enchiladas with sauce, lettuce and cheese. Betabel- Ate: Beets served with thick slices of candied guava, alfalfa sprouts, cranberries, and beef carpaccio on top with drizzled of balsamic glaze. Tacos del Amigo - Short rib and bone marrow served on blue corn tortillas. Del patron - One large shrimp on blue corn tortilla. Tuetano Mongol - Bone marrow with octopus. They will also serve it with a side of tortillas. De Atun - 3 mini tuna served on crunchy hard shell tacos. My husband did not want to share and ate it before I can take a bite of it. All dishes were quite delicious and we left no crumbs. Lastly, we still had room for desserts. While we wait, we ordered coffee and did not expect a mobile Nespresso coffee bar to come to our table. What a nice surprised. For the desserts, we decided to go the following: Churros en el ring - We did not expect to have churros served in a boxing ring. What a cute concept. Wished we have gotten more than 4 pieces of churros. Pastel Lorenza - This is a MUST. It was a tower of vanilla ice cream with creamy goat milk and pecan. In the ice cream, you will find their house cookie to give it at that extra crunch with cajeta in it. Lastly, we ordered pan de elote con dulce de leche. Moist corn bread served on a bed of dulce de leche. If we can order a whole box home, we would. We definitely will be back!

    Churros, so cute
    Ruth L.

    Service was amazing, staff is so kind and so attentive. Food & drinks were 10/10 especially the tostadas de callo, our server assembled the tostadas right in front of us and added some tuna agua chile with pistachios. I've never had that combo but it was mind blowing.

The restaurant is a large space with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the atmosphere is really cute and inviting. The service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and checked on us throughout the meal. He even had a portable charger available for my phone, which was very convenient. What we ordered: *Aguachile Reina: This was delicious and had a little kick to it. If you're sensitive to spice, this might not be the best choice, but for those who enjoy a little spice, it's a great option. *Rock Shrimp: Absolutely phenomenal. This was probably one of my favorites of the night. The flavors were amazing, and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. *Tuna Tartare: Another delicious dish. The portion size was generous, and they bring out chips to enjoy with it. We also enjoyed tequila on the rocks. They have a large liquor and cocktail menu. The food came out in less than 10 minutes, and everything tasted fresh. This is definitely a spot I'd recommend checking out when you're in the area.

The magnet to…read moreget here, was that I recently discovered they were the only restaurant that was advertising Puerto Nuevo lobster. So I got there on my first evening, and that's what I ordered. It took about 40 minutes to get to the table, but once it arrived, it was beautifully presented cooked optimally. The portion seemed a little smaller than I expected (came in only one 600 gm size). The lobster that was split in half sat on a moist bed of Spanish rice, came with refried beans and freshly grilled vegetables. See my pictures. The freshly made thin tortillas were superb, but one had to be careful or they would dry soon. After you finish, they give you an apperetiv, in a small cylindrical crystal glass. Basically, think of it like Kahlúa with milk, vanilla and ice. It was fantastic. The chips and salsas that preluded the main order were also superb. It is rarely and not always, that I go back to the same restaurant when I'm on a short trip. On top of that the next day? Yes, here it had to be the exception. So this second time, I was here to try the fish soup (exceptional) and the grilled loin of red snapper. I've heard of a pork loin, a beef loin, but this was a first. The entree is a large portion. A thick, succulent, colorful, well charred and grilled portion of seafood, with firm texture and spicy taste. Service here was high class, on both occasions.
