    Great service and excellent food. I will definitely be back here. The mole was very good and cafe de olla wonder

    Food was really good & has good and reasonable prices. I had the mariscos omelette with a guava agua fresca, along with fresh tortillas. Mario was my server. I would recommend this place! Thank you.

    Marenca is a fine establishment. The service is attentive and friendly, and the interior is clean and well put together. I got a Pink Mole Salmon for my entree. I will say that the salmon was a bit dry and for the price I think I could have gotten something better. For my drink, I got a strawberry margarita and that was amazing (pretty strong too!). The servers speak english here so don't worry about a language barrier if you're a tourist like me. Overall nice establishment!

    La comida exquisita, el servicio increíble, nuestro mesero nos atendió con una excelente actitud. Muy buena porción en el platillo. Todo excelente.

    Loved it from the time I walked know. You are greeted and welcomed in. The cafe de Oja was delicious, and the food OMG definitely worth the buck. And talk about buck$ not even expensive..​

    Huevos d la casa

    Came here because we vouched to try new spots & open our palates a bit more. Rather than to stick to the same places we always go to. This place I could say is pretty upscale & intimate. The street it is located on is very busy. On the bright side, they do have their own private parking lot. Free of charge. When you walk in the venue is nice, clean, & classy. A bit small but we weren't waiting to be seated for long. We got seated after about 5mins. They have a little rack to put your purse/jackets on which I appreciate. Prices were reasonable of course. We paid around $45 + tip for a family of 3. FOOD - I got the machaca d res omelette that came with a tamal of maza & tortilla chips. We ordered scrambled eggs & frijoles for my son. My husband got the huevos d la casa that came with carne, frijoles, & black tortillas. We also got a kids drink & a soda. In which they provided a cup of ice with it. They also gave us a little flight of salsas that were pretty good. I liked my omelette. My husband's carne was a bit salty for my liking. The tamal on my dish was pretty good. Would've been better if there was meat in it. My husband liked the frijoles. Both brown & black were tasty & flavorful. SERVICE - We did NOT like our waiter whatsoever. He spoke to us so degradingly. You just work here, you don't even own the restaurant. Calm down boy. Lol. He was the one with tattoos on his arms. Acted super stuck up & like he was better than everyone. Including his coworkers. We witnessed him clapping his hands loudly because a waiter was in his way & he was trying to get her to move. He was talking crap to another guy/girl waiter. & we also saw him playfully slap his girl coworker on the face. No way to be acting like that in a professional setting. I don't feel he meant it playfully by his tone & actions prior to smacking her. But obviously he's someone for everyone to be listening to him & the way he was acting. Definite power trip. Doubt he was a manager neither. Seemed like a floor lead or something. He was snobby. Asked for ketchup & he didn't even acknowledge our request. Had someone else bring it to the table for us. Would've appreciated an, "Ok. I/we got you. I'll bring it." Nothing. Literally when asking him he looked away without responding. Food was good but wasn't the best we've had. Along with our waiters attitude. Bringing this place down to 3/5 stars. Probably would not go back nor recommend. But also didn't give them a lower rating because the food was good. But like I said, not the best. Especially with a worker with such a shitty attitude. Lol. You choose to work here. No one forced you. Their menu is pretty unique with a lot of ingredients not used at your typical restaurant. They also renamed a lot of things to make it sound fancier than what it really is.

    We visited this place twice during our three week stay in Tijuana. The food was hit or miss, meats lacked flavor and drinks were mostly sugar and little alcohol. The chocolate desert was good on the first bite but subsequent bite had a very tough texture, may have been old?. Service was good the first time but pretty poor the second time. Its a good place to go once if youre in tijuana for a while.

    Chilaquiles de mole Oaxacanño with pork. Tasty mole. One of the best moles I've ever had.

    Great restaurant. Tasty food. Great service. Good wine. Nuff said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Came with friends on a day trip to Tijuana! We arrived around 2pm and there was only one other group there, so service was quick. FOOD: I got the octopus (pulpo) tacos and the bone marrow tacos. The bone marrow was my favorite, so flavorful and juicy. The octopus was tender, and I loved the dual color tortillas. Great plating/presentation as well. I would recommend these two tacos over other menu items, my friend got salmon mole and I didn't like it as much as my order. Servers were friendly and attentive, the restaurant itself was beautifully decorated.

    Food was amazing, Ambiance was nice and service was Great! This place has been on my list for awhile and I'm glad I finally made it. Prices are very reasonable. We could have split the meal. CONCLUSION: Put Marenca on your list, you will be glad you did!

    Chilaquiles con mole de Oaxaca

    Tortillas were crispy but not burnt, eggs were runny enough to smolder the tortillas but not too runny where they made a mess. The mole was a level 3 spicy with a tease of sweetness that makes you want to take a sample home. The café de olla was a reminder of the one we had in Rosarito. Overall I will be returning

    Nice cozy busy restaurant with good service, delicious foods. Came with friends for the weekend brunch, friends to enjoy a getaway with friends. Ambiance was nice casual restaurant good for families, friends dining. The mole chillaquiles was good, slightly sweet and spicy mole.

    Omelette, "Yoltzin."

    Absolutely delicious food with a very attentive and great server, Isidro! Definitely worth a visit and make sure to go with an empty stomach! La comida es sabrosa y la atención al cliente es de lo mejor! Nuestro mesero, Isidro, fue muy atento con una linda sonrisa y personalidad. Vale la pena esperar.

I had someone call from our hotel and we got right in and there was a line outside. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is all great. Their breakfast goes from American eggs and bacon with the best potatoes to wonderful burrito type breakfast items. Their menudo is great and they have great Mexican meats as well. Lunch and dinner is about the same. They make Mexican style fish and steak that is just perfect every time. All of their Mexican dishes are just wonderful. You can't go wrong. They even have bottled water--never drink the water there, just don't. They have the best rice and beans. The service is great. They make you feel right at home and even if you don't speak Spanish, most speak English and you will figure it out because they will help you. The prices are fair for what you get. At dinner I consider it fine dining. It is all good and you will be happy. The place is also clean and super comfortable.

It has an old spanish mission look on the outside and walking in, you can immediately recognize that it is an impressive and popular place. The decor here is something to write home about. Beautiful wall fixtures, and well crafted local pottery and other artifacts, all around, everywhere. There is ample seating, that is well spaced out. Perfectly pitched Mexican music permeates the atmosphere. There is attentive staff that is so courteous, and welcoming. I wanted to eat lite, and I wanted to eat Mexican, so I chose the Yucatán Tamales. It comes as one pork and one chicken, both slim, wide rectangles, each baked in a banana leaf. They both had their subtle and distinct flavors. Comes with refried beans. The complementary salsas, the rojo and verde, were fresh and tasty. Service was outstanding. Another memorable restaurant in Tijuana, that needs to be filed into the "excellent" and "must go" folders.

We came around 9am on a weekday. They had some valet parking which we utilized before going into the restaurant. We were seated right away. Immediately, the servers were very professional and friendly. To drink, I got a Jugo Verde - green juice. It came out pretty quickly! It was very delicious with the right amount of tart and sweet. Definitely tasted fresh. I gave sips to my aunt and mom, they both found it delicious. A strong start. To eat, I got the French Toast with Nutella. Again, it came out reasonably fast. My first impression was amazement with how fluffy the toast looked. It had a generous serving of the toppings and I was ready to dig in. It was sooooo good. It was soft but had texture, all of the flavors worked really well together. My aunt and mother had ordered other things, but when my aunt tried my french toast she felt like it was a true stand out dish. Delicious!! Overall, my family and I had a really great experience at Georgina. The ambiance is really nice as are the people. The food was even better! I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone checking it out.
