    Todos Santos - This was the makeup ceviche for the peruano I returned. Its was 6/10 since it had a funky flavor at the end.

    My first meal in T.J. was here at Todos Santos and it left a great impression on me. We sat close…read moreto the bar and it wasn't busy on Friday afternoon so the service was fast and attentive. My favorites were the Camaron Caramelo, Tio Sam Tostada and the Ceviche Todos Santos. We ordered the Tacos California and I would not get those again, they weren't that great. For drinks I had the El Mexicano and thought it was pretty and strong and my friend had the Chaiser Chamocehla which looked like Michelada but wasn't and said it was good. We also ordered a sprite and a beer and all of this came out to $51 U.S. dollars. If you're at the Otay Town Center and are looking for mariscos, I would highly recommend Todos Santos. Also the vibe was really chill and even though they had multiple t.v.'s playing sports, it didn't feel like a sports bar.

Location is good, atmosphere was good, valet parking is good since there isn't much parking around the area. This last time I went service was good as always, food always great & tasty, but our drinks weren't that good. I'm not sure if there was a new bartender or what was the deal with our drinks. I had to send my drinks back every time 4 times to be exact. I actually went up to the bartender to ask if I can just make my own drink. Lol, my waiter noticed and took over. He made my martini in front of me, and to be honest it was the best all night. Other than that everything else was great!

    Todos Santos - Kids pasta was flavorless. 10 and 12 year old even hated the chicken.

When I first tried an aguachiles dish (by Rick Bayless, go figure), it consisted of raw yellowtail submerged in an acidic lemon juice and seasoned lightly with salt. NO chili pepper in the juice! A far cry from traditional! The aguachiles here is as traditional as they come. I selected a mild (1 chili pepper) and the TJ Queen of Seafood (apparently) went to work, crushing a chili pepper with a pestle into my giant mortar bowl. She then squeezed in a bunch of limes, cut in some cucumbers and onions, and seasoned lightly before adding the raw shrimp. WOW! My aguachiles was served straight up in mortar! Shrimp was clean, there was a nice touch of heat, and the liquid was pleasantly acidic. If you want more heat, they even have a multitude of bottles (over 10) with different sauces lined up for you to choose from. I am quite ashamed to admit that I have not had enough traditional Mexican food even though I grew up in Chula Vista surrounded by a ton of them. I believe Aquachiles may have become a new favorite. Hopefully my next dish will be as good as the one I had here!

    Villa Marina, has been on my Tijuana radar and I finally was able to make it happen. 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. Two exceptional and hard to forget dining visits, in Tijuana. Wow.

The Gohan Roll was delicious and had a nice spicy kick, and the octopus ala brazas was excellent not chewy or too soft but tender. The best part of all was the flan for dessert. The restrooms were very clean. We received excellent service from Angel he was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for seafood. Tuvimos el placer de comer en villa marina. Ordenamos varias cosas incluyendo los aguachiles trí sabor, pulpo alas brazas y gohan roll. Todo estaba muy delicioso el Gohan roll estaba muy rico y picosito, el pulpo alas brazas estaba muy bueno con su arroz. Lo mejor de todo era el flan para postre. Los baños estaban muy limpios. Fuimos atendidos muy bien por Angel. Recomiendo si buscan comer mariscos que vengan aquí.
