The tacos de camaron enchilado are the best I've had, also the service is best because even if its packed with people you still get attended as soon as you arrive with a delicious cup of fish soup, if you dont like spicy their camaron ala mantequilla is delicious, as other things is the menu, i have been going back...

La Mazateña, pulpo enchilado, caldo de pescado...a definite culinary "must" in Tijuana. The atmosphere is extremely casual, but the food and service are what make this place what it is. If you want a beer with your seafood- obligatory in my opinion- just tell the waiter and he will send someone out to get it for you.

This seafood place makes good food. Delicious food. 'Tacos' and 'ceviches', soups as well. I remembered when they first opened, not too long ago. It was cheap, now it is expensive . For example a taco can cost you for about 2$ which is alot for here in Mex. Worth it though.

Come and see for yourself. The place used to be the parking lot of a pharmacy and a cell phone dealer. In the corner there was a fish taco stand. From about 7:30 AM until 2-3 PM the small counter and one side table were not enough for the many people stopping by for "tacos de camarón enchilado," --spicy shrimp... More
