We stopped at here last minute. We were pleasantly surprised. The seafood is actually excellent…read more Presentation was also excellent. The tuna tartar was yummy! The grilled lobster was delicioso. Luis our server--and all the employees were pleasant and informative. We will definitely come back. *** Note this restaurant serves A LOT of octopus. It can be very hard if you are an octopus lover like me. Be warned & tell your server up front NO octopus on anything please. They are very accommodating.

My friend @cheftiffanythomas scrolled through a plethora of seafood restaurants here in Tijuana and…read morelanded on this wonderful gem. What sold us was the photo of the Octopus SARTENEADO, & yes it was tasty, soft, & slow cooked in a well seasoned bath of butter. The rice has a hint of saffron, and the vegetables were nicely roasted. The table salsa is excellent and the complementary chips are doused in a bright red savory chili powder. We also ordered the trio of aguachiles, prepared with 3 different chiles; one green, one red, & lastly a dark blackened chili. Our favorite was the black aguachiles. They have plenty of mixed drinks & beer to offer, we had the hibiscus drink with mezcal. Everything is a 5 out of 5, including customer service. Heads up it's a very busy restaurant and parking is valet only. If you happen to have children with you they also have a separate play area for the kiddos; which is great if you happen to have an energetic toddler that needs a temporary distraction. The ambiance overall is very nice. I did notice it's somewhat casual to formal dinning, and very well staffed. It''s a great restaurant & I highly reccomend it.
