I love that they sell Mexican candy in the restaurant ( cash only, fyi)

Very nice hostess. Wait time approx. 30 minutes. It wasn’t bad.
**While you wait***
I recommend roaming around Walgreens, Salvation Army, or other stores to kill time.
***Compliments/Excellent Customer Service***
Omar (server) is a great server!!! From the time that we arrived at the restaurant (900pm), until the time we finished eating, I was very impressed with his top-notch customer service by Omar. He really made our Valentines Day experience great, and his compensation (tip) was well deserved. High energy, always smiling, very attentive, and dedicated to his work. Anything we asked for he provided right away. I can see him being very successful at a high -end restaurant.
***Gem/Diamond in the Rough***
La bahia is very lucky to have him. I would recommend him for a management position or lead and give him a raise. This restaurant has a gem. Thank you again, Omar, for your outstanding customer service. Other restaurants need to take some lessons from you to know how to run a successful restaurant. Great job, sir! I tip my hat to you.
***The Food and Drinks***
Compimentary chips and salsa. The food was great, and my gf loved the michelada. A la diabla spicy shrimp combo, shrimp cocktail was delicious, horchata not sweet, no sediment at the bottom of my cup (I very much liked), and my combo plate always hits the spot. Excellent Drinks to compliment the meals. Have horchata ready if the meal is too spicy.
***Recommendations to La Bahia***
Low carb and low sugar items like fresh lemonade with minimal sugar or no sugar. Low carb tortillas options. Provide nutritional content for items, as it will help people make healthier decisions.
Maybe some nice live music on weekends, but not loud. Someone who can do Mexican music but with an ameican twist or vice versa American music with a Mexican twist. I like the calm atmosphere of this restaurant. If people want mariachi, I would recommend keeping it outside on the patio only. Changing the restaurant too much might lose the authenticity because locals may like it’s simplified traditional mexican fashion.
Oh yes, please update the seating I almost hurt my self trying to plop down on the booth like a couch.
Thank you for a great experience!!!
The al pastor wet burrito was excellent and pinto beans were very good.
Only suggestion I would give the restaurant is to heat the plates before serving because the plates were very cool causing the food to get cold much quicker.
To my delight, the coffee arrived quickly and was freshly brewed, setting the tone for the meal ahead. As we settled in, tostada chips and salsa were brought to the table. The chips were warm and crispy, and the salsa was absolutely delicious.
For starters, I decided to try the Botana Bahia, which included a small shrimp cocktail, shrimp tostada, fish ceviche tostada, and half a dozen oysters. The oysters arrived first, and although I expected them to taste strongly of the ocean, they surprised me with their refreshing and incredibly fresh flavor.
The shrimp cocktail was a true standout, loaded with plump shrimp and perfectly seasoned. I added a dash of Tapatio for an extra kick, and it was a flavor explosion. The shrimp ceviche tostada was piled high with shrimp and tasted amazing, while the fish ceviche had a well-balanced ratio of meat to vegetables and was marinated to perfection. The addition of jalapeños provided a pleasant spice, while the cucumbers kept the dish refreshingly cool.
Next, I ordered the Filete a la Diabla, a fillet of fish grilled in hot sauce. Let me tell you, the Filete a la Diabla at Ostioneria Bahia is my absolute favorite. The spicy and delicious flavor is expertly balanced, allowing the flavor of the fish to shine through. The garlicky toasted pepper taste adds a wonderful depth of flavor that is truly delightful. Accompanied by a side of refried beans and white rice, the dish was a complete masterpiece. The beans melted in my mouth, and the rice was cooked to a perfect buttery texture.
What impressed me just as much as the food was the impeccable service throughout the meal. My water glass and coffee were consistently refilled, and empty plates and trash were promptly cleared away, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience.
In conclusion, my overall experience at Ostioneria Bahia was exceptional, and I can confidently say that I will be a regular customer. From the warm greeting at the door to the delicious food and attentive service, everything was top-notch. I highly recommend visiting Ostioneria Bahia for a memorable dining experience that will leave you craving more.
