    Very pleasant We sat outside. It was a warm day, so quite nice. A little bit hot. I suggest you make the umbrellas more reflective of the sun. Food excellent-- interesting and diverse. We ate lunch, shared different dishes and enjoed them waiting staff very good. Seemed busy but it was Father's day, so not surprising !!!!

    Excellent experience, great food great atmosphere and great service. The only small complaint is they charge you for salsa which they added to my bill without notifying me . Nothing big but I’ve never heard of a restaurant in Mexico charging for salsa!

    One of my favorite restaurants in Tijuana. The food is always great and the service is excellent as well. We had the "Jamon Hiberico" and the tomato sup for appetizer - both excellent choices. The recommended and gave us a taste of a Spanish Syrah wine, which was so good that we ordered a bottle (ended up being two). The party of six ordered different dishes and all of them were excellent. We split the aged ribey stake and the truffle pasta - what an amazing combination. A great overall evening in a a great restaurant.
