Sunset Lounge doesn't exist anymore. It's called La Mandona now, a very noisy place with substandard food. If you like blaring live music and no talk with your guests, this is the place! read more

Was here for the second time yesterday. The first time I was here the security guy out front would not let me park in one of the designated spaces not realizing that I was trying to go into the restaurant it pissed me off so I left I made a second attempt last night to park there and was able to do so. Sat on the bottom floor. Nice view. Our waiters name is Margarito. Nice guy. Attentive to the table and prompt with beverages. Our food was really good and it was cooked perfectly. My only pet peeve about the food was that a lot of the breadsticks that you see posted in the photos are either over cooked or reheated multiple times. They are entirely too hard. They're supposed to be slightly crunchy but soft but they are as hard as a biscotti. The three stars on my review were because of the security guard and the bread. Nevertheless, I will be going back. read more

Sunset Lounge Playas - No need to speak the language when the vibe is right. - Mediterranean Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

This beachfront restaurant caught my eye on Trip Advisor, and we walked all the way from one end of the beach in Tijuana to the other to find it and make sure we could get a table! When you enter the restaurant (you have to find it by walking on the street side-- you'll miss it if you try to find it on the boardwalk) it feels like you're entering a high-class garden oasis. There are many beautiful plants and waterfalls to welcome you inside. Looking into the restaurant at the table area, it's easy to see that Sunset is one of the highest-class restaurants on the beach. Sunset wasn't very busy at lunch time (which confused me because it looked amazing), so we got a seat on the lower outdoor balcony as soon as we came in. This balcony has an unobstructed view of the sand and the ocean (but you can also hear all the noise coming from the beach below). If you would like a quieter experience, the upstairs has floor to ceiling windows looking out at the beach as well. Not everyone likes seafood, but Sunset is more than a seafood restaurant. It's more like a fancier and more Mexican version of the Cheese Cake Factory, where the menu has everything from surf and turf to traditional Mexican dishes. The menu is entirely in spanish, and there aren't very many pictures, so it can be a bit difficult to decipher if you don't speak the language (I had to translate for everyone at the table). Wait time is very short, alcoholic drinks are good--I recommend the mango Margherita--and appetizers are delicious. I ordered some calamari, and it was one of the crispiest and most flavourful dishes I've had in a while. They come with two dipping sauces that are house made. You also get a basket of bread with garlic butter while you wait for the main course. I order salmon pretty much everywhere I go, so I put in one order of salmon and replaced the pasta with Spanish Rice and mashed potatoes (they gave me other choices but I love my starch). When the plate came out after a very short wait, it looked like a work of art. The chefs here are very experienced platers, and use crisp, fried cheese as a beautiful garnish. The plate also comes with spinach and cooked purple cabbage. Eating this beautiful plate in a gorgeous setting translated to an automatic 4 stars. My only complaint is that, while the salmon was crisp on top, it was pretty undercooked inside. Each restaurant has their own standards for cooking fish, but at this one, I feel like it was kind of raw. At least it was fresh :) Those are just my salmon preferences, and the steak we had was cooked well, so my experience may not reflect yours. Overall, I had a good experience here and would recommend it, and would return again. read more

One star for the view.....otherwise this place is a dump in disguise. Don't let the semi nice decor fool you. Food was a mess. Crab cakes one big mush. Service was like pulling teeth. Let's not mention that upon receiving our salads we were told our table was reserved for someone who was going to propose to his girlfriend. WOW!!! In other words never mind us, never mind our plans for the evening! This is something that should have been figured out before we were half way into our meal. At that point we were disgusted and asked for our check, the manager/owner asked why we were leaving!? Bizarre.....you tell us basically to hurry up and then wonder why we are leaving. 15% off our check does not make up for our ruined meal. Such horrible customer service. Btw....we sat with broken glass under our feet for the duration of our stay. Gnats flew around our table the whole time. Attention to detail was never there. Sorry! Will never never be back! read more

We had an absolutely amazing meal at this beautiful restaurant. The food was very high quality and the presentation was outstanding. The value you receive in comparison to their prices are unbelievable. We spent roughly $50 US for dinner for two with two drinks each, appetizers, salad and entree. The service matches as well. We will be returning! read more

The worst service ever. Order foor 1 hour and 30 minutes ago, and excuses are still coming instead of food. Now they ran out of the soup we order. 2 hrs later food showed up....discusting....awful...will never be back here....not even for free.... read more

The view and place was great but the food was ok & some of it tasted weird as if they froze it then heat it up. The thing I hated thought was that when I payed and left a tip the girl told me ( i believe it was the manager or cashier ) I had to leave way more since my food check was high, keep in mind I left a pretty good tip and the tip is volunteered so I didn't have to leave anything if I didn't want to. The way she said it was extremely rude and I will never come to this place again. I'm Mexican from San Diego and i have half of my family living here in tijuana so I know how much a good tip is but in fact I like to give them extra. They see that your not from there so they like to take over your money which happens a lot in tj for Americans. Sadly Se aprovechan cuando saven que no eres de ahi read more

I can't say nothing bad about this restaurant; brilliant! good wine, great food; what more can you say? I do suggest when you go, that you get the Calimari and Caesar Salad as appetizers and go for the main course with a nice steak with cauliflower and a baked potato. I took my wife here for Valentine's day, and our anniversary - I'll definitely be doing it again! read more

I love coming here. I'm never rushed and the staff are extremely attentive. I spent like an hour and a half just gazing at the horizon and ocean view while eating and drinking. Their food is amazing and their prices are even better. I paid $19 for a steak with sides, salad, and fresh purred cucumber Martini. Can't find that in the US. I like the fact that staff will accommodate and listen to what customers need and want. Pancho is a great server and always a nice friendly face to meet when you go. Tip: go on a Sunday at 12:00 noon as soon as they open and they are empty--customer service will be the best ! read more

Everything, mixed martini,enchiladas suiza, seafood was meh!!! Basio, dry, absolutely nothing special except the ocean view.

Sunset is a solid place. The staff is great, views are great, and the wine selection is ok. Relaxed and quiet atmosphere, a great place to meet friends or conduct business. The food is good (not great), a couple of his are cajun salmon and arrachera. read more

Great views. We sat at our table and watched the dolphins playing! The service was exceptional and the food was excellent! Very relaxing atmosphere with both Spanish and English music playing. Prices were very reasonable. Our meal would be twice as much in the US. We highly recommend you try Sunset! read more

We were in the area and stopped in for dessert. OMG!!!!! The flan is bad ASS!!! Better than what mom use to make! U really need to try it.

This place is great. Every time I am in TJ, I stop by for food. It is one of the best places on the beach-side to site and enjoy a meal. The views are great and the service is great. The food has been great every time. I make it a point to have a different dish ever time, and I have not been let down yet. read more

Best calamari in Mexico. Expensive beers but a bottle of sparkling Mexican wine is very cheap. I tried to finish one myself! The windows outside are very dirty and haven't been cleaning in a long time. Went back a week later and they still hadn't been cleaned. read more
