El Grill Prime Steakhouse Tijuana MX

Stopped in here on a whim mid-day. We were greeted at the entrance by Miguel, who also ended up being our waiter.
From beginning to end the service was incredible! Weather permitting I would recommend patio dining, but inside there is a baby grand and pianist.
Started off with a house salad and sopa de palmito. The salad was good as expected, but the soup was excellent...light and creamy, and dairy free. Miguel mentioned that the owner prefers that the menu be as dairy free as possible which makes complete sense in a Latin Country due to a population prone to lactose intolerance. Which includes my wife and I.
We were presented with at least 8 different cortes de carne to choose from and one unlucky live lobster. Everything from New York to Tomahawk...including lamb.
I had the ribeye with a blue cheese rub medium rare, and the wife a filet mignon medium. Both were to say the least excellent, but the ribeye was melt in your mouth tender. Perfectly seared on both sides. Sides included grilled vegetables and baby potatoes.
Topped off by a bottle of red wine from Valle de Guadalupe (Baron Balche- Mezcla).
Tijuana, Rosarito and Valle de Guadalupe are a foodies dream come true and we've had a lot of great steaks, but I must admit that this cut of meat was the best so far.

Excellent food. The quality of the steak and lobster was exceptional. The service was good. The waiter was fairly attentive. The atmosphere is excellent especially if you are bringing a date. Compared to other fine dining in Tijuana, the prices are very high but I would certainly go back and I recommend El Grill.

Great cuts of steaks and cooked to perfection. The sea bass is amazing. Expect to spend $80 to $100 for two depending on your drink selection. A bit overpriced but a great restaurant.

Best beef cuts in the city, by far. Excellent service. Everything is delicious and made with care.

Ribeye melted in my mouth. It was awesome. Never had a better steak in the U.S. We sat in a smoking section where I enjoyed a nice cigar after eating my steak. Appetizer was a fish spiced up and served sashimi style. Can't wait to go back.

Rib Eye perfectly sealed while keeping a soft and juice meat. And the cheesecake was a good ending.

I ate here with my wife on Valentine's Day 2021. We had a reservation for two. When we arrived, we were greeted and quickly taken to our table. The restaurant was nicely styled. It is definitely a steakhouse. Beautiful wood paneling. Large spacious booths. Pictures of the New York City skyline and of the Rat Pack and Frank Sinatra. They also had a replica of a newspaper from when the Titanic sank. The place felt clean and fresh. Our waiter was very attentive and service was excellent. Nice selection of drinks from the bar. The online menu was a little awkward and didn't work well on my phone. They had a piano player playing live classical and modern music. At times it could be hard to hear each other because sound travels far in the restaurant. The restaurant wasn't decorated special for Valentine's day which was a slight disappointment. The food was excellent. I had the bone in Chicago Ribeye Steak. It was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. The portions of food were generous. The price was a little high, in my opinion, for Tijuana, Mexico. At around $250 for two people, without ordering dessert, I thought that was a bit much. Only because we could have eaten in at a similar restaurant in San Diego, such as Eddie V's for a similar experience and price point. It isn't so much about the money as it is the market it is serving. The restaurant is targeting the wealthy class in Tijuana and probably isn't very affordable to most. Overall, we had a wonderful time, a great experience, excellent service, delicious food. I would recommend and we will go back.
