Luz was very attentive and food was great we were dropping off family at the airport and google places that were open after 6. This one didn't disappoint We ordered queso fundido with bacon bits. They brought out tostadas with beans and onions. The carnes en su jugo was delicious We had cafe de Olla and also jericallas

Let me start by saying—this is a truly amazing restaurant, totally worthy of 5 stars (and honestly, even more!). The staff is friendly, professional, and welcoming. The place is spotless, the music is soft and pleasant, and the vibe is just right. Now the food... absolutely delicious! My wife and I came here for the first time, and it won us over. We’ll definitely be back. I plan to personally thank the chef for having such an incredible talent—every bite was a treat. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and a great experience. Don’t miss it!

Very nice and cozy restaurant on Padre Kino Avenue in Tijuana. I have dined here a couple of times. My favorite is Lengua en Salsa Verde with fresh corn tortillas -a delicacy! I also recommend the Chicken Sopes, a set of three sopes with beans and rice; simply delicious, very savory Mexican plate. Service is impeccable, waiters are very attentive and courteous. Food is reasonably priced; highly recommended!!

We were driving to Rosarito but wanted a nice lunch in Tijuana. A friend recommended this place and it was fabulous! Best tortilla soup I've ever had and the tuna tartare was a treat! Also really liked the camarones a su gusto. I had mine cooked with garlic sauce. Delicious! Covid safety protocols in place and being followed. Highly recommended!

1st time. Ordered the guacamole, chef salad and a Paloma. Very good service and ambiance. Unfortunately the upstairs section was not open. Oatmeal is great too!
