The restaurant is easy to miss. It's tucked behind the 7-11 on the corner. Inside the restaurant is small, but and clean . The service is friendly and helpful when I had questions about the menu. The food came out quickly and is fresh. The shrimp tostada is loaded with shrimp and spicy pico de gallo, it's very tasty. read more

I ordered a LARGE shrimp cocktail to go for $21 and this is what I got. Keep in mind, I have tiny hands. It's maybe a 14 Oz cup. The medium order probably comes in a shot glass. The few shrimp I got were small, still had the poop tract, and the overall flavor was not good. It was way too sweet. It came with no condiments, salsas, or lemons, only 2 STALE tostadas. She told me it would be an additional charge for more tostadas. Really?? You're only give me 2 tostadas for a large order? How many do I get with a medium order, one? They are way too expensive and stingy compared to other Mexican restaurants nearby. Never coming here again. read more

Ostioneria Bahia - A Stingy order of a Large Shrimp Cocktail for $21 - Mexican Near Me - Orange, California

Great spot for a good lunch. Had shrimp cocktail and quesadilla with carne asada. Both fantastic and I also highly recommend the cucumber aqua Fresca. Service was quick friendly and efficient. Will defiantly come back again. read more

Service not what it used to be food loosing quality as well and prices went up all factors that will cause a long time customer not to return read more

Came here for lunch on a Tuesday. Love the colorful ambience and the waitress in folk costume. The food was really good. I ordered the camarones a la diabla, wife got the fish tacos. They were yummy. Under 15 a plate. Not bad for lunch. The fish tacos weren't as big as what you'd get from taco nazo or ensenada grill, but they were tasty. This is definitely a hidden gem. read more

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. read more

Food was great but horrible service. Server seemed very mad and would do bad face expressions as she walked away and would roll her eyes at us while taking order. Had to get up and pay myself due to her never coming to check up on us at our table. read more

Good food, somewhat reasonable price and great service... when it comes to pricing, its not all on them. Costs have skyrocketed here in Kalifornia . read more

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. read more

I've been coming here for years and in all honesty, it is a hit or miss. Which is really disappointing, mainly because they have so much potential. It has been around with multiple locations because they food is great! Drinks are what you would expect from a cantina, so do not expect fancy cocktails. The service is why I could not give it a perfect score. Sometimes you are lucky and your waitress is very nice, friendly and knowledgeable. Or she is in a rush, very matter of fact and unhelpful. I don't expect it to change so I am prepared for anything when we stop by. Do I recommend it? Yes, absolutely. The ceviche and the pescado empapelado is delicious! read more

I didn't realize there was 2 different locations so close together. I ordered from this location off of DoorDash thinking it was the location off of Tustin, because that's where I have normally gone. Obviously i ordered it for a pick up so i expected it already to not be so warm by the time i got it. I was highly disappointed to see that their "medium" cóctel de camarón was literally the size of my baby's 2oz bottle.... so so tiny?? And the price was insane. My "SMALL" horchata was bigger than it. I can't speak on the sustainer service but the food taste was okay,.. definitely better to dine in :/ so if there's a next time i'll be dining in for quality! read more

The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I had the fresh oysters for $16 and the fish ceviche $10 and it was all delicious. Fresh and free chips and salsa upon arrival. Service was great. The ambiance is a more local authentic Mexican restaurant. Recommend! read more

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. read more

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! read more

March 31st we were a party of 12 for a birthday waited one hour . Never got a table. The manager was talking to the waitress all the time he never walked the floor never made an attempt to get us seated.. he will only look at us and turn around 5.30 to 6.30 finally one girl got us a white plastic table with some chairs. We just walked away . That manager is a disgrace to the food industry . Maybe that's not his area of expertise.. no customer service whatsoever. Hope I get a response not looking for anything free just a acknowledgment of the incompetence of the manager.. sorry 714 600 8275 I ask to be call . read more

Good food and pretty good quality as well. I normally order delivery and I always enjoy the food.

Very enjoyable food at this place. I had the carnitas plate and the meat was cooked perfectly. I rally enjoyed the rice and beans as a well. The green enchiladas looked good as did the chicken tacos. A worthwhile hole in the wall place for good food. read more

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. read more

My favorite Mexican seafood place in Orange County. It's a pretty casual place with some pretty good seafood and service. I usually get their seafood soup and grille fish dish or a ceviche.... If you have never been to this place, time to check it out... read more

I came here on Nov 29 . And I had a ceviche plate. I ended up going to the hospital that same night . It was the worst night of my life. I got food poisoning eating that and I'm currently 5 months pregnant . I tried calling but no one picked up . At this point this restaurant needs to make sure to clean there shrimp and fish right . And make sure any type of seafood is cooked right or cold before handing it out . Im never going again . read more

SO BUMMED !!! THIS USED TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE RESTAURENTS !! I ordered 3 weeks ago & saw on a new online menu that they had hard tacos but it said $17 each which I assumed was a misprint. Called for pickup instead & they asked what type of meat I wanted which included ground beef. She read the options to me. I said ground beef. We spent around $70 and the tacos were great but they were NOT ground beef. Had a ton of cojita though & we loved them. My shrimp plate however had POOP TRAILS in them which I only noticed because it felt weird in my mouth & you can't really see it because they're covered in spices but we just figured it was a bad day for them. So I ordered again the following weekend 1 shrimp plate & 4 tacos & she said $83.00. I asked why $83? She said it's because the tacos are very rare & it's not on the menu.. I was like okay but I just ordered them last week & she sighed & brought it down to like $40 something. Tacos were gross! no cojita, just warm sour cream & gross meat but I thought it was a one off AGAIN because I've always loved their food. Husband thought they were bad & maybe had a different cook that day. Ordered last night again, spent around $60 for a burrito, a shrimp plate & 4 tacos. They were really gross & I spit it out. Tasted gamey like something was off but I thought it was just me & then the husband said this doesn't taste right at all like something's just off & he threw it all in the trash. It didn't even taste like meat. Really bummed that we're never going to eat here again :-( read more

One of my favorite places to eat . I'll even go alone if I can't find someone to lunch with . Me, a Corona . and a whole fish !!! Nothing better ! Yum !!! Ambiance is super chill. Service is always friendly ! read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go. Instead if tortilla chips, they send fried corn tortillas. I personally like that way to serve. The shrimp ceviche..the Bomb. There is a lunch menu and dinner menu. I had chile relleno and had Camarones marea. Rice..sooooo good. Husband loves the beans. Such a good vibe of a place to eat. Looking forward for the next visit. read more

Good service - good food - good portions. For seafood it's important to have a high turn over and this place does not look like that would be a problem. The seafood dishes here are very fresh and I do not have any fears about them. There are also a lot of hot plates and soups if seafood is not preferred. read more

Nice well decorated place and landscaping! Feels like you're in Mexico! Waitess in their Mexican outfits. and we sat down right away. asked if we want chips and salsa, sure, but she didnt say it's extra charge! the salsa were fried whole thick corn tortillas! Salsa was really good but they give you a tiny little cup. We ordered fish and crimp tacos with rice and beans. Both were really good! That we can go back for, but not for $5.00 per taco and $5 for rice and beans! they don't seem to have special combo for those items. Expensive place for taco! Majority of the items were in $22 dollar mark and up! Service was okay. Menus seems all new! And hard to straightened them bc it's from xray film material. Overall, it's just okay. I know things are all expensive but I can eat somewhere cheaper for what we ordered! read more

Was not that great. Thought it would be like other Mexican Seafood places but it wasn't. Portions were smaller than others places. I guess if you want more chips that we're not fresh they charge you $1.50 extra. One of the waitresses blonde hair didn't seem she wanted to be there at all. I'm definitely not coming back here read more

I went to here with my family over the weekend. The food was good, I actually enjoyed it once it FINALLY CAME. We arrived at 1:30p we were seated almost immediately. Our waiter didn't come take even our drink order until 2p. 1/2 hour just to ask would you like a drink?? Then after that we still didn't get our drinks for another 15 min. So now we're at 45 min sitting at a table with out even getting a drink?? I was beyond annoyed however my wife and kids were happy so I didn't wanna kill our family lunch. I forgot to mention when she came for drinks it had been so long we already knew what we wanted to eat. So we ordered at the same time. After bringing our dinks. She came out with ONE plate of food, then 5 Min later another plate of food. She literally did this with each plate. On top of all that my daughters taco and fries were COLD. We never even got one refill on our drinks. Now all this was annoying don't get me wrong. The thing that really topped it off. After we received our food they sat a table next to us. That table was given drinks, chips even got refills on there drink within 15 min of arriving. By 20/25 min they already had there whole meal and it came out all at once!!! That is literally a spit in our face. We didn't complain we didn't make a huge deal but honestly it's very rude. Patricia is a horrible server. read more

10 out of 10 from my 8 year olds first visit. Very friendly service, and the food was excellent!

Only came here for a refreshing michelada and was pleasantly surprised by the excellent customer service. The michelada was delicious, with a nice balance of acidity and saltiness. I stopped by with a full belly, but now I'm curious about their seafood fare. 'til next time. Cheers, I'll definitely stop by again. read more

Delicious Mexican restaurant! I'm picky about where I eat mexican food but the two full entrees I ordered were spot on! I had the Camarones a La Diabla as well as the Garlic Butter Fish Fillet; beans and rice on the side. The portions are big enough for you to take home for leftovers The staff cleaned our area before well and fast. Food didn't take long to arrive at all! Very friendly and welcoming I would definitely go back. read more

I went hear a few months back only pick up available. The size for What I paid was unexpected it was a small 16 oz cocktail for $17.00 I'm use to at least a 22 oz which would be a medium. But it was good read more

Ok sooooo this place is true authentic Mexican food because their is no other way to have it!! I had the carne asada burrito with rice and cheese added. Let me just say that it was LIFE. The meat was tender and juicy with huge flavor. The restaurant itself is super cute with hand carved wooden panels with bright colors of green, yellow and pinks. Customer service was spectacular. I will definitely be back!! read more

Wow!!! Just Amazing pork carnitas here! Everything was delicious and the staff was all very nice. They have a huge menu to choose from too. Also the bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp are a tasty treat. The prices are a little high for Mexican food but the portions are large. Another nice touch is they don't rush you through your meal. There also a counter with lots of Mexican treats for taking home afterwards. Looking forward to trying some more of the menu here. read more
