Lamentablemente, el volumen de la música estaba excesivamente alto. Mi iPhone no dejaba de advertirme que el nivel era perjudicial para mis oídos debido a los decibeles elevados. No podíamos conversar con normalidad. Incluso el mesero tenía que repetir sus preguntas varias veces, ya que ni él mismo lograba escuchar con claridad lo que pedíamos. Cuando intentaba explicarnos el menú, era prácticamente inaudible. En dos ocasiones anteriores la experiencia había sido muy buena. Sin embargo, esta vez, al invitar a unos amigos con la intención de que disfrutaran el lugar, la experiencia no fue agradable. J. Caballero

The food was pretty good I liked the cooked camarones they had the best and the mescal drink. The churros were nice nothing to crazy on flavor but presentation wise if fun and attention seeking so plus plus if you usually order fajitas and like the eyes on you. The jicama taco is pretty interesting fresh and taste great not a usual thing but good. Our server Gerardo Rodriguez was awesome the whole time he made sure we have everything we need and still check on us the entire visit

Todo iba bien hasta que le llevaron una rebanada de pastel y le cantaron las mañanitas, le cantaron la clásica mordida y mi hijo no quería, pues le atascaron el pastel en la cara y el betún y gran parte del pastel se le metió en la nariz, mi hijo estaba muy enojado y la verdad es que se sintió como una humillación, uno sabrá lo que hace en su casa, pero en un lugar público y gente que no te conoce esto es de muy mal gusto y hasta humillante.

Cabanna in Hipódromo delivered across the board. I ordered an assortment of tacos--the milanesa was…read moreeasily the highlight. Crispy, cheesy, topped with fries, and somehow still balanced. The fried shrimp taco with chipotle mayo and avocado was crunchy and well-executed, while the carne asada with guac and pico kept things classic and satisfying. The raw shrimp aguachile served on thin jícama slices with a smoky black salsa was unforgettable--bright, spicy, and full of bold flavor. The jícama added a clean crunch that tied it all together. The shrimp salad was fresh and colorful with strawberries, candied nuts, and goat cheese, and the salsa verde cream pasta with shrimp was rich and tasty, without feeling heavy. Service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and on point the whole time. The bar is also worth a mention: wide drink menu, good cocktails, and a great vibe to hang around after the meal. Overall, Cabanna hits that sweet spot of flavor, variety, and energy. I'll be back.

We were so happy we gave a try at this charming restaurant! My partner had 3 shrimp tostadas and I…read morehad 1 shrimp and 1 tuna tostada. Interestingly, the first 2 shrimp tostadas were regular (simple lemon or lime) and we really loved the freshness and the taste, so my partner ordered 1 more, then the ceviche had some mayonnaise in it somehow (they said it's not supposed to have mayonnaise). He preferred without mayonnaise, so he ordered another one without mayonnaise, which was amazing! And my tuna tostada!! That was one of the best dishes I had this year. I thought it's worth going to Tijuana just to eat there! The elder male server with grey hair also made our lunch so lovely and great experience.

It's always such a relief to know small businesses surviving through the pandemic. Mariscos el…read moreCholo is thankfully one of them and they're a food stall specializing in fresh, raw seafood. I had the opportunity to visit Tijuana for the first time five years ago with friends and this was one of the pitstops we made during our food tour, so naturally we wanted to visit again. The difference from then to now is that the prices have increased which is not at all surprising. Our friends' go-to are usually the pata de mulas aka blood clams, but this time we also tried the oysters. Yes, the name and appearance may be unappealing, but if you can get past it, you will find that it is briny and sweet. The red color is due to the high level of hemoglobins within the clam. Mollusks are shucked upon order which is pretty fun to watch. Fresh, juicy limes are provided as well. We had to save space in our stomach for other foods, but I wanted to note that the locals order the tostadas de ceviche or the shrimp/fish ceviche, which looks to be refreshing and quite a generous portion. I'll have to get a ceviche next time I come back. There is a small table with a handful of chairs right by the food stall, but if we can stand eating tacos on the sidewalk, why not shellfish like clams and oysters? I would definitely recommend Mariscos el Cholo to those visiting TJ, especially for seafood lovers and adventurous eaters.

The horchata in a fancy cup helped lighten the mood. The food is great! The service was pretty darn good too! My fav was the La Mazateña shrimp. They were fabulous! On another note and not part of the review, the restrooms- they were in the back, attached to the back room where people were eating. there was a sign pointing down a hallway that pointed to restrooms. Went down and thought the lights would turn on. They didn't. Someone came from out of the dark. Surprise?!?! Phone light out. Ah, women's. No light in there. I was desperate. I went in w phone light. Realized that someone else was in there going too. They got out of the stall and tried to switch the light on, and nope. Finished going, light randomly turns on. Wash and go go go!

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!

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.

If Rick Bayless and Andrew Zimmern have been here, you know it's going to be good! You'll want to…read moreget the Aguachiles (200 MXN) here. Our friend who is a local swears by theirs. 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!

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.
