My husband brought me here for my birthday. It was a great experience! Miguel & Aaron were very attentive & have the best customer service. The aguachiles Reyna was delicious! The tiradito de atun was absolutely mouth watering. Everything we ordered was amazing! And they have a kids play area! We will return with our little ones. Highly recommend!

We visited Tijuana for a few hours last Sunday, and one of my cousins found Lion Fish Restaurant on Google with great reviews—so we decided to give it a try for lunch. Even though it was a bit early and lunch service hadn’t officially started yet, the staff welcomed us warmly and asked about our seating preference. We chose to sit outside, which was perfect for the weather.
After looking through the menu, we ordered:

Marlin Tacos
Spicy Tacos
Green Special Ceviche
King Fillet
Strawberry Lemonade

To my surprise, every single dish was absolutely delicious! I’ve had fish tacos before, but this was my first time trying ceviche—and I loved it! The flavors were so fresh, and the presentation was impressive. The tacos were just amazing too!

The King Fillet was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, definitely a highlight of the meal.

The strawberry lemonade was super refreshing — exactly what we needed after walking around all day. The staff were really friendly and helpful too.
Definitely want to come back here again just for these dishes!

The atmosphere is nice and the service is good (although I saw one of the servers sneeze into his hand and continue serving).
The food is just bad, terrible.. not what I expected from an expensive restaurant.
The dishes were salty greasy, and not refined.
Grilled lionfish – very generous portion, but this grilled fish was super salty and greasy, the side of vegetable was also super salty and greasy. So the whole flavor of profile was salt and oil
Taco Governador – shrimp taco with grilled tortilla; I don’t know why they consider the tortilla grilled because it was super greasy, almost deep-fried
Taco Mexican – octopus taco with grilled tortilla; same as above
Tuna tartar -subpar/sub-grade tuna cubes with tiny amount of avocado, in a soy sauce bath… totally tasteless, but generous portion

The only saving grace in terms of food was there tostadas in cellophane packages, that was really good. See pics

Lively place that is very well run. Service was excellent up until it came time to pay. The menu is extensive with a lot of variety. The food we ordered was very tasty, the flavored waters. Although we are only visiting right now, we may find time to come back here!

High quality seafood dishes with American prices. Delicious drinks. They play American football and college basketball on TV. We spent around $2,000 MXD between two people.

I used to love this place, but unfortunately, it’s gone downhill—especially when it comes to how management treats customers. If you’re an American, tourist, or someone who doesn’t speak Spanish, think twice before coming here.

Unless you’re a VIP or personally know the managers—Miguel, Israel, or Rolando—don’t expect good service. It seems like appearance and status matter more than loyalty or how much money you spend. If you look like a “regular” person, don’t expect to be treated with the same respect.

On my last visit, I asked if they could put on the baseball game—they had more than five TVs—and I was completely ignored. For a place that claims to be upscale, that was a huge disappointment.

There are far better places nearby, like Lorenza and Cabanna, where the staff and managers treat every guest with warmth and professionalism, regardless of how they dress or who they know.

Lion Fish, your food and servers might be great, but your management team really needs training in hospitality and customer service. Sadly, you’ve lost my business.
