Bistró Sin Fronteras. Les comparto los sabores que he recolectado del océano, el valle y la granja. Combinaciones que te harán viajar a rincones del mundo sin moverte de la mesa, desde delicias del mar con los mariscos más espectaculares, pastas hechas al momento con la frescura que mereces, los sabores propios de la granja, con los cortes más jugosos y exquisitos.

• Brazilian Steakhouse • Tijuana
Pampas in Tijuana is a classic Brazilian steakhouse. The way a Brazilian steakhouse operates is unlike from most other restaurants, and Pampas is no different. Diners come in and pay a flat rate for full access to the appetizer and salad bar, which features salads, rolls, soup and other starters. The main courses, the meats, are then brought around from table to table on a skewer. Guests at Pampas simply hold up their plate and get as much as they'd like. Pampas carries a huge selection of meat, with options like prime rib, barbecue chicken and spicy pork.

WELCOME TO CLOAK & PETAL!Where we invite you to journey into a place of both intimacy and companionshipOur concept is drawn from our name. The word “cloak” implies secrecy, inspiring our concept of a social sphere humming beneath the levels of ordinary life. “Petal” alludes to the Japanese tradition of “hanami,” when family and friends gather under blooming cherry blossoms to savor food, drinks and fellowship.Enter our space and travel underground to décor reminiscent of an abandoned Tokyo subway, a stratum of society all its own, an artist’s dream. Cross the threshold into a mystically transformed Japanese social dining lounge which appears to be an outdoor seating area, similar to a waiting platform. Sit beneath a trellis of draping vines and teardrop lights in the intimate space we’ve thoughtfully created, and feast on authentic Japanese sushi, appetizers, small plates and drinks with family and friends.Journey down to Cloak + Petal… and come unwind your soul.

• Greek • Coronado
Booked 191 times today
Nighthawk takes its name from the Edward Hopper painting, not as nostalgia but as a reflection of atmosphere, people gathered, light stretching into evening, and the feeling of stepping just outside the ordinary. Set entirely outdoors in Coronado, it embraces the Pacific breeze, shifting light, and horizon in a way that echoes the rhythm of the Greek islands, where life unfolds in open air and time moves more slowly. The space centers on connection and presence, drawing from the Greek idea of philia—relationships built through shared moments and unhurried conversation, rooted in a tradition where gathering, simplicity, and time spent together matter most. Nighthawk lives in that overlap between places, suggesting that the warmth, ease, and sense of belonging we associate with distant coasts may already be closer than we think.

    Great overall experience. Very welcoming and food was better than expected with social media usually exaggerating how good everything is. Surprised and delighted and will return soon.

    We took out-of-town family to El Agave. They raved: they had never experienced wonderful seafood and veggie regional Mexican dishes. We always enjoy the fresh ingredients and gourmet preparations there. First rate service and delightful ambience ( and of course best Tequila drinks in town).

    We’re from out of town and I saw videos of this place online. I’ve really been wanting to go for months and we finally got the chance! I scared Myself on the way there after reading reviews, I was Worried it was going to be mid and I was Gonna disappoint my friends. All was well! We got there for our reservation at 6 and they didn’t even mind that 3 people dropped out of our group. Food was amazing!! The restaurant was so cute!! Really happy it worked out, maybe the reviews vary because it’s take out or Maybe they ate too late but it was fresh for us and tasted great. I loved The chicken fried rice and the mushroom dish! My boyfriend loved the orange Chicken! I think We got general tso as well and it was a little too soy sauce forward for me but that’s just preference!
