    Amazing place in Tijuana Mexico! Absolutely exquisite!! Service is definitely anything above any 5 star buffet in Las Vegas. Food at the bar is on point with a wide variety of dishes. Honestly you can go off with just the salad bar. It's full of variety. Needless to mention the desert bar, about 40 different types deserts. The ambience is definitely up beat without the obnoxious crowds. You can definitely come celebrate a special occasion as you can also just stop in for a casual night. I have to mention the MUSIC! Top hits of a good classic rock to top 10 trendy music. Nothing crazy! Shoutout to our team of waiters. Kept our tables clean, food coming, and drinks on point. Great Place !

    It was delicious! I tasted all of the meat and wishing could've eaten more! One of the best mojitos I've ever had.

    This is a favorite restaurant of mine. They have different locations throughout Baja California and seem to be consistent throughout all their locations. They have cool promotions that run after 7:00pm where the price is reduced about 50%. If you arrive anytime before that, the price per person is full price. This Brazilian steak house has over a variety of 35 cuts of meat, poultry and seafoods, and includes a serve your self salad, soup, breads, salsas and other yummy unique dish bar. (Covid-19 sometimes effect whether they will serve it for you or whether you may serve yourself, but if you serve they ensure you wear gloves.) When you arrive, you they are beyond welcoming and professional. (During Covid they check your temperature, make you spin around under this sanitation steamer and make you use a pump of hand sanitizer before you may dine in.) After being seated the waiter introduced himself, explained how this experience works and offered if anyone wanted anything to drink. (P.S. some may not speak English, but they ensure there is always someone in the floor that can Incase you may not understand what the waiter is asking.) Once drinks are ordered, you get a plate and plate anything you desire from the salad bar. My favorite always is there tuna which I eat with tortilla rounds or chips. I also cannot get over there creamy corn nopales stew like dip. As soon as we all sat down, the waiter returned to our table and came back with everyone's drink. I got there blended margarita (tamarind flavor with a tajin rim). I have had many margaritas, but nothing like this before. The margaritas here are different in a way that when you take a sip although blended the ice instantly melts. It is ultimately the softest slushy margarita I have had. I also had the lemon one which has a perfect ratio of sour and sweet. Once everyone settles down, and you spin the NO sign to a Yes sign, the other servers straight to line up offering you meats, seafood, and other delicious cuts. Some of my top favorites are the piccania, arrechera, their garlic breads, Tripa (which is beef intensities) lengua (beef tongue), shrimp, and last but not least grilled octopus. (I attached some pictures of some of their cuts) I would recommend this place to families celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and other events. This is a bit louder than normal restaurants, but not the type that would be considered to loud, or so loud that you cannot enjoy your guest company. They do have a children area as well where children can go and play while the Adults sit and enjoy their meal. There is no time limit that I am aware of, but the many times I have enjoyed this awesome experience it usually ranges from 1:30-2:30hrs.

    This place named itself "sushi bar," but it also says it's an authentic Mexican seafood restaurant?…read moreThat feels like an identity crisis lol. I was given chips, salsa, and an appetizer soup thing in a cup. The chips were fine. I thought the soup was alright. I didn't like the salsa as I found it too watery and lacking in flavor, more like a hot sauce than a salsa. I ordered two hand rolls, a spicy tuna roll and a salmon skin roll. I thought they were good. I found the salmon skin too crispy and deep fried for my preference, but it was still good. Finally, I realized that not only do I never eat authentic Mexican seafood, I'm not even sure what that entails. So I dug through the menu and saw something called "Don Tono," described as stuffed with seafood, but without much other explanation. I asked the waitress what this Don Tono is exactly, and to my surprise, she wasn't sure either. So, of course I had to order it. It was a big thing of aluminum foil with goodies inside, kinda like a seafood bake. It was good, although I found the flavor to be a undertuned. I would've liked some Cajun seasoning. The best texture and taste was probably the fish itself as it was light and flaky without being mushy, and it absorbed the umami of some of the other seafood. I thought the shrimp and shellfish were just okay, and maybe just a tad overcooked for me. Honestly, I was also not a huge fan of the cheese here; I feel like it doesn't quite fit. I also got some rice and salad with it, which were both fine.

    I got a couple rolls to go as well as some edamame. All serviceable, nothing remarkable but an…read moreinexpensive option for some decent sushi! Fun decor in this place! When I came in to pick up my food there was no one at the host stand and it seems like there was one waiter running the whole show during busy lunch time.

    One of my absolute favorite places to visit every time I'm in TJ!!!!…read more The meat there is not even comparable to any of the places here in the United States. They have much more open food selection with much wider variety either Mexican or regular American style food. They will literally always at all times be passing by with meat, you would literally get sick of it and just have to turn the sign off (even then they still come with meat lol) The service is absolutely top notch and they made sure that we have everything we needed! Even come by all the time to see if there's any meat we would like to request so they could bring it for us!!!! That's just never happened with us before!!!!!!! We had a birthday there, and I tell you they really know how to do a celebration right, you will get the very much loud and fun birthday shoutout. Also they will make you chug a shot and shake your head like they do over there. It was so special and to be remembered. Parking structure is small there, but they do have valet and they'll take care of it for you. (I believe it's only valet parking there, I could be wrong. But we got the valet parking) Price can't be beat for the quality and amount of food. Absolute steal. 2 people on a weekend with a birthday celebration and couple soft drinks and water came to be about $80ish-$90. Which if you know how much Brazilian steakhouses in the US cost, you'd know how good of a deal that is!!!!!!!! Overall, it really sucks that this place is far away, otherwise I'd have been there every weekend :) But it is a stable to go to every time I'm in Mexico.

The entrance, the dim lighting, the immaculate polished wood tables and upbeat music, elegant decor, and the chandeliers, all added to the inviting warm ambiance. So the stage was set and my evening began with the complementary chips (very unique, thick, crispy with a charred taste), beans and salsa rojo. A good start. It was important for me to try something different. So, I opted for the Esmeralda Shrimp that comes in a piping hot molcajete bowl. Surprisingly, the manager tried to discourage me from ordering this item. Maybe he knew more than me (read below). In spite of this advice, I stuck to my guns. The Shrimp is doused in a cilantro salsa verde with au gratin potato peel. Essentially, thin deep fried string potatoes. Also came with breaded cheese rolls (2 of them) sticking out of the bowl. The dish was overpowered by the excess of cilantro salsa (that had too much lime). For texture, there was too much cheese around and it took away the spotlight from the main attraction, the small shrimp (which were cooked well). I now realized that I had ordered the wrong dish. Oh well. Service was attentive and good.
