    Originally we were going to eat in the restaurant next door, but since they were closed, we ended up on this one, the service was average, the food it was over priced it was ok but not for $515 dollars plus tip on 3 steaks , 2 sides & 4 margaritas. I usually eat way better and about the same price at an steak house in the U.S, plus you have to pay for parking. I wished I would've time to read the reviews on Yelp, usually I do... Definitely not coming back.

    One of my favorite places to go here in Tijuana, food is delicious, specially the stake de chicharrón, octopus, margaretta pizza, guacamole side and salads. I could name it all but will take long. Staff is very friendly and always go to your table to make sure you have everything. Also place has a good wine selection.

    Asado de costillas & entrańa w/ honey glazed beets

    Authentic Argentinian Grill with the most amazing empanadas and lemonade. Great Staff frendly and attentive, the owner Juan Carlos happened to be there and was just a true pleasure to meet. Now the food we order asado de tira (beef ribs) and Entraña grilled to perfection, empanadas are out of this world good, for our sides we order honey glazed beets and French fries both delicious the establishment is simple but nicely decorated with a nice wine list and full bar menu. A must for us when we return to TJ. BTW they offer secure off the street Valet parking

    Steak, mashed potatoes and asparagus

    Food was delicious! My sister in law and I shared this and we still had leftovers. Service was beyond excellent.

    If I'm lookin' to chow down a great Argentine style ribeye steak, filet mignon, organic roasted chicken or just a Wagyu burger, this the place. It's worth the trek past the San Diego/Tijuana border! And even if i don't get my favorite table, I'm chill 'cause that Dirty Martini and red wine served by Rodrigo makes me smile & chill! Grilled tomatoes with garlic and roasted, caramelized beets are great starters. A four-cheese (quattro formaggi) pizza follows with spinach salad dressed with feta, cranberries, pear & lime vinaigrette! Don't wanna bombard you with Origen Argentino's homemade pasta menu, but its high-end desserts are decadent!

    Showed up here after having visited Fonda Argentina down the road here and wanted to see what this place was all about . Pretty fancy place , super modern, super clean , a whole lot of selection of wines and such , the menu was similar but I thought the selection at Fonda Argentina was just better . We were quickly attended to by our server, friendly and fast guy , ordered up some grilled chicken, after looking at the menu , I did think the prices were pretty high and did. It think that the food matched up with the prices , other than that it was good but I much preferred Fonda Argentina when I compare it to this place, sorry but it's just my very honest opinion. I would say that I might be back but very likely will not. Definitely worth checking out, you might have a different take on the place.

    Great service and food. No a big selection of drink and same price as a 5star steakhouse in the US without the same quality meats.

    Skirt steak (faldilla)

    My favorite steakhouse in Tijuana. Skirt steak is so so good I dream about it. Must go.

    Im giving 5 star this restaurant because 1. We went there from a park so we're not dressed for that kind of classy restaurant BUT they treat ys really really good. Not like other expensive restaurants that judge you by your appearance. That's one of the main reasons why I'm giving 5 star. 2. From valet service to enter the restaurant really good service. 3. The food is great.. they have the choices prime for the steaks. Our server is really nice. I forgot to take picture of the rib eye but my husband and son really love it. It's cook really well and the steak is soft. The Tomahawk is good. Good for 3 its HUGE.. for me and for my 2 girls. 4. EVERYONE that is SERVER is WITH MASK AND FACESHIELD AND GLOVES. 5. the place have dividers on each tables.

    First time here. I had the organic steak... it was BOMB wonderful service. The resultant is open inside and outside on the patio. They have an impressive wine & tequila selection, as well as whiskey . The veggies were grilled to perfection. They serve the steak with onions , garlic & great sauces. My organic steak was wonderfully cooked & juicy. They have wagu beef & hamburgers everything! I recommend !

    First time going here! My family who lives in tj love going here and it was my grandmas birthday so they wanted to go there. My uncle made reservations at 8pm! We got there and got sat right away. When we got there I noticed right away prices were not listed in the menu! How are we supposed to know how much things cost??? From there I knew things were not going to be good. I started off with some strawberry virgen margarita, bf got a coke and a tamarindo Margarita, mom got a tamarindo Margarita, grandma and sisters got piñas coladas, uncle a glass of wine and my other uncle a beer! For appetaizer we got the pulpo preparado and 8 empanadas 2 of each of them! They brought complimentary bread which was bla bla!! The appetaizeda were really good the best part of the entire dinner! My favorite one was the spinach empanada and also the corn empanada. I ordered raviolis with Alfredo sauce. Sister got the fettuccine Alfredo and add chicken to it. Mom and uncle got the steak breaded! My grandma and bf got the rib eye and my other uncle got a steak as well. We ordered a chaser salad, potatoes and guacamole as the sides. To be honest steaks were not good at all very dry!! The food was bad bad bad bad!! I couldn't believe how bad the food was! I was expecting way more than this!!! And they knew it was a birthday celebration and not even a complementary something!! Not even something small!!! I had to ordered a dessert and ask for a candle! We ordered the flan and some ice cream. This is the interesting part! When the bill comes!!! 5045 pesos for what we ate wow!! Almost 300 dollars that was way to to much for what we ate and for the quality of the food!!! It was a joke to be honest!!!! Not coming back unless my family really wants to go

    We got here late and was looking around for a restaurant that still opens after 11pm , we decided to try this place out, best decision ever . The atmosphere is dim and romantic eating, i was here with the bois tho. We ordered signature steak and fries, octopus , bone marrow , Everything was yummy and had its own unique taste. Guys if you come here give this place a visit , definitely coming back next time we are in TJ from Ca

    Top quality for a top price in Tijuana. You will average 50.00 dollars a plate. The prices are still about 25-30% less than the USA

The rest was mixed: * Penne Arrabbiata had decent flavor but was a bit dry. * Salmon Meunière was good, though the mashed potatoes were dry. * Pescado Fiorentina was very good and the standout among the mains. The full bar is great, but the wine selection is limited. A memorable stop with some highs and a few misses.

    Checked this spot out this past Mexican Independence Day due to the good reviews. It's located in…read morethe Zona Rio area, which is an area packed with very well-regarded, highly-rated restaurants in TJ. The restaurant is located directly behind the TGI Friday's on General Rodolfo Sánchez Taboada Boulevard. Got there around 1:30 pm, not too long after they opened. Not many people in there, though that wasn't surprising given that it was a Monday and a federal holiday. One thing I love about Mexican fine dining restaurants is they tend to be very lax on dress code; I was dressed casually but that wasn't a problem. I don't think they technically have a dress code, though a comparable fine dining steak restaurant in the U.S. might not have let me in given that I was casually (although neatly) dressed. Was nearly empty so was seated immediately. Waiter was an older male who spoke pretty good English. Was brought out Acqua Panna spring water while I looked over the menu. I first ordered a frozen strawberry margarita (209 pesos or roughly $11). The margarita was solid and tasty. For my meal I decided to go with the petit ribeye (300g ribeye), which came with a complimentary side (chose mashed potatoes) and the soup of the day (potatoes and cream). The petit ribeye was 1389 pesos (~$73 USD). While waiting for the main meal, they brought out bread and then the soup (which came with crackers). Really liked the soup. The bread was perfectly fine, though nothing special. They provided standard crackers but there were also some very large, circular crackers they provided that I didn't really like. After finishing the soup and bread they brought out the ribeye and potatoes. Both were very good, the ribeye in particular was well-cooked and tasty. Not the best ribeye I've had in my life or anything like that, but it was solid. I also liked the spicy sauce and pico condiments that came with the meal. The ribeye and margarita came to 1598 pesos total; after tip the total bill came out to around $100 USD. While I enjoyed the meal, I don't think I'd return to El Grill at that price point. I've had better steak/ribeye meals for less even in the U.S. and had better meals for much less in TJ. But the meal here was good and I'd still recommend for anyone who's never been, just as a place to check out. The waiter and customer service overall was great and very attentive.

We asked to move outside to catch the game, and while the server accommodated us, it was clear he wasn't too thrilled about it. We started with drinks, which were actually great; so good that we ended up ordering three rounds plus shots! For appetizers, we had the grilled bone marrow and empanadas, followed by a New York strip loin (recommended by the server) with creamy spinach and truffle fries. The empanadas and fries were delicious, but the steak was completely bland, definitely not worth the price. We asked for a spicy salsa, and the server brought one out "on the house," which was amazing. I even asked to take the leftover salsa home. Now, here's where things turned shady. Throughout the meal, the server kept upselling us on everything; which we didn't mind since we were having a good time. But when the bill came, we noticed he charged us for the leftover salsa that he originally said was complimentary! It wasn't about the money, but the principle. We asked him to remove the charge and told him to forget the salsa. The manager noticed what happened, took care of the charge, and even packed the salsa with our leftovers. The server, however, never returned to the table after that. The ambiance and cleanliness were fine, but overall, the experience left a bad taste. VERDICT: I will not be coming back.

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.
