Tajin rimmed michelada glasses
Edward S.

I don't know about you, but it's great to dine inside a restaurant again with loved ones. Ostioneria Bahia is the best place to reconnect with the world and celebrate as things open up again. Start off with a frosty mug filled with michelada (beer, lime, tomato juice, spices). Salud! Food: Mojarra al Mojo de Ajo: An entire perch is deep fried until it is dark brown. The flaky fish is firm with a crispy scored skin with a light garlic butter sauce. Camarones Marea (Rellenos): Tail-on shrimp, cheese, and bits of imitation crab are rolled up in a strip of crispy bacon. Pulpo al Mojo de Ajo: The octopus tentacle is cut into small coins that are soft and tender morsels lightly coated in garlic butter sauce. Each plate comes with fluffy buttery rice and beans, and a spicy, grilled, green chili pepper. Service: Everyone is so friendly. They bring out baskets of tostadas that you break up and dip in salsa or guacamole. Dining Area: Every other table is kept empty.

Arrived 30 min prior to closing ( I'm not usually that person, but cousin wanted ceviche) & pics looked good. I ordered the fajita mix with corn tortillas. Was a mix of chicken beef and shrimp very flavorful, came out of a hot skillet. My cousin ordered a plate with 2 tostada's, ceviche and some oysters. Portions from this place were huge! We couldn't eat it all. Oysters tasted funny and we're dark grey in color, sorta off putting. Ceviche was refreshing and came with saltaditas!! Tostada's were piled up with shrimp but unfortunately tostada's ended up soggy. I'd try it again though.

I went to eat here last night with a good friend. My friend is absolutely allergic to anything flour related so he ordered a few CORN tortilla offerings. However, he told me he had a case of a D this morning. We asked our waiter twice of his tacos were flour and he blatantly denied it was not. Other then that, my plate was decent.

Check your food before you get it to-go.

I'm a regular customer at Bahia but lately I haven't been so happy when I get food to-go. Make sure you check your food before you take it home.

jamon con huevos
Vanessa G.

Stopped in on a whim for breakfast on Sunday. The decor of this restaurant really knocks it out of the park. Once you step in, you feel you are actually in Mexico, Olde Town San Diego, or Olvera Street. I loved all the bright colors, the Mexican furniture / displays and the candy shop set up at the counter. Food was delicious. I had the jamon con huevos plate. My grandpa had the huevos rancheros, and my husband had the Camarones Marea aka bacon wrapped shrimp. I opted for no rice, which I now regret. Typically, I am not a big rice fan, however the rice here is the delicious white buttery rice that pairs perfect with mariscos. We all enjoyed our breakfast. I had a glass of chablis with my food. It hit the spot. I asked for a side of Ranchera sauce to pour on my food. It had a nice kick to it, medium spice. I can only tolerate up to medium, so it was ideal. The complimentary tostada chips were a little too hard for my liking. If you are looking for a very authentic restaurant with decor to match, I recommend this place!

This is my favorite for "coctel mixta" (cocktail)and in OC this is the only restaurant that offers it w freah oysters. Absolutely delicious!! My gf returned the torta! No problem! Our server didn't even frown. Great little mom and pop operation! A must try on your bucket list.

Is this the right address to this original location? Keeps sending me to a random spot and it's not this restaurant. I'd like to try this place. We always go to #2 restaurant and love it!

It is at 4429 E. Chapman (corner of Hewes and Chapman in 7Eleven plaza. We like the food at this location and the staff are very nice. Has more of a neighborhood feel than the location at Chapman and Tustin Ave.

Is there live music on Sundays?

We were there on a Sunday, and although the restaurant was very popular and full of guests, there was no music.

Website? Possible to buy a gift card?

Probably not, it's a small mom and pop restaurant

Overall, everything lacked flavor, although I will say the red salsa served with the chips was delicious. My friend ordered the avocado toast, but it was basically just a slice of bread with sliced avocado--no seasoning, condiments, or anything to make it stand out. The small garden salad was equally underwhelming, consisting of only romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes with no dressing or even a drizzle of olive oil. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, but they were more like open-faced boiled eggs since the yolks were completely hard instead of runny. The café de olla had a nice flavor, but it was much sweeter than expected. I think it would be better if they served it unsweetened (or lightly sweetened) and let customers adjust the sugar to their own taste. I really wanted to enjoy this place because the ambiance is so charming, but the food just didn't live up to the experience.

She somehow remembered everyone's food and drink orders without writing it down! We were all very impressed. My go-to is the bangsilog which, in my opinion, needs to be eaten with some sawsawan. Otherwise, it is very dry. There is vinegar (and other condiments) readily available at each dining table but I do wish it was served with the meal ready-to-go. I like eating vinegary chunks of onion with my bangus. Everyone enjoyed their meal. If I were to go back (for my third time), I would definitely get the loaded tater tots again. Super tasty!

At first bite, my significant other said he could have this for breakfast every day, haha. We also got the calamansi agua fresca and it was really refreshing.
