First up on the menu is the table side prepared Caesar salad. We opted for the "large" portion with shrimp. The dressing phenomenal & shrimp prepared perfectly. Our only wish was they had @ least 3 more pieces of romaine lettuce. The served bread with a fresh ground olive spread. Spread tasted good but the bread gave store bought vibes. For our main entrees we ordered: BEEF WELLINGTON - was prepared well. Meat tender encased in puff pastry. LAMB CHOPS juicy & tender! Peppery brown gravy & mint chimichurri jelly on the side. Both came with sides of blanched veggies & crispy baby potatoes. For dessert we got flan. The flan was a great ending. It was creamy & smooth almost like a cross between flan & crème brûlée. We were so happy to have had the opportunity to dine @ such a historical location!

Little teeny tiny parking lot but it's right across from the shopping centre parking so not a big deal.

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.

No no its not a go!!! warm welcoming but It wasn't enough…read morefor me. We went to eat some protein! We kept having to flag down a waiter or one of the people handling the meat carvings. The selection of meat was very basic. I def should have checked on that before considering going. We kept getting offered sausage, tripe and burnt chicken. All those meats were over cooked for my liking. We also got picana and asked for filet mignon asked for medium, came out ok but burnt edges. It made it hard to eat. The carving portions were small kinda annoying to have to constantly wait or flag down a server for more. The meat was bland not even a little salt and pepper. Just not it. The buffet part was def not up to parr either. The salads look unappetizing, old. Same goes with all or most of the dishes that were offered. Ceviche, pastas, meat dishes. The kid friendly options were ok but even my kids didn't approve the pasta. We also had sangria which was ok, tasted more like a sour sparkling water. We didn't get a drink menu so we just kinda asked what they offer and opted for sangria. They have a kids room with an attendant which was pretty cool. It's the only reason my kids want to go back. The ambiance is decent. Not too loud, TVs around gave it a bar feel a bit. I wasn't expecting that. I believe the place is priced a little more on the higher side for what they offer. It didn't meet my expectations in food or service. I think it would be helpful to keep a better eye on buffet food. Wilted salads are not a good look. Provide more communication on what is offered for protein in this case. I don't go to Tijuana too often but when I do, I try a new restaurant. Stay tune for the next one.

At the Paseo Chapultepec in Tijuana, there was still another restaurant that I needed to try. So I…read moreheaded out and had dinner at Bodega 8. 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.

The service is the best, it matters not if you don't speak Spanish, they got you. And besides the menu is very clear and you can just point to what you want. Inside is so pretty with lovely art painted on the walls. They usually include the tip in the bill so check for that. The staff is all very nice and they are fast. They know the menu and can help you. They even sell cakes and other baked goods. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. All of it is great. If you want American breakfast they have that, but even better is their selection of Mexican style breakfast. Their machaca is great. We love their carna asada with eggs and their combination plates for breakfast are the best. They even have a kids menu. The prices are fair and dollars are always welcome, or just use your credit card. All of their dinner courses are great. They have fantastic tacos, burritos and steaks and some great seafood. Parking is free. You have to go here.

They also have cocktails and margaritas but I decided not to get alcoholic drinks this time around. The dessert section is huge. Each dessert is a bite-sized portion so you can try a little bit of everything! And of course the meats! I loved the beef, pork and the sausages that I got. For some reason, all the chicken ones didn't really hit the spot for me. They weren't bad though. The grilled shrimps were particularly juicy and good.
