ERIZO MARKETO

4 Riko W - 3 years ago

I love this place.
I bring my friends here.
The food (seafood) and ambiance is always so great.
The service is usually fine but it is definitely an opportunity to make it more consistently great.
I love the tacos with inventive ingredients. Today, I tried the broccolini taco for the first time. While, it had broccoli instead of broccolini, I still found it tasty with it's mix of shrimp, avocado, and garlic chips. It just worked for me.
The cocktails I had tonight, the Janeiro, didn't work for me. Too sweet and not as citrusy as I'd expected. But I don't knock the place because I know there would have been something I would have loved on the cocktail menu.
This restaurant is one in a collection of restaurants chef-ed in part by Javier Placensia, a local chef célèbre. The food is interesting and experience fantastic.
I only wish the menu had a little more variance. That it was a little more risk taking.
I love Mexican food but I'm not always up for tacos, tostadas, or aguachiles. Sometimes, I want something more substantial. The last time I did order a plato fuerte but it was just grilled veggies and the seafood choice in a sauce. A delicious sauce, but nonetheless not exactly exciting.
Recommended.

This review is for the evening of November 9 for dinner that ended at 815pm.

The server wouldn't let me leave without leaving extra tip on the card after providing a cash tip and showing him the cash. He went on and tried to re swipe my card 3 times and show which tip Option was avail and made us feel bad that we didn't add extra tip.

He should know that tip is an option not mandatory.

Horrible service. And won't come back.

After we gave him a percentage tip so we can leave the restaurant he shook his head in disbelief.

Don't come here. Go elsewhere for better service

It's too bad because I'm starting a new food tour company to bring Americans to TJ and enjoy the wonderful blossoming culinary scene here. This restaurant is not on my long list of places for the world to experience as much as it should be due to service.

For the record I’ve been in TJ every week for months creating relationships and visiting awesome restaurants all over TJ. From bakeries to cafes , tacos spots , cervecherias, cervercias, sit down places such as La Espadana ...and everything in between, NON of the restaurants, atleast 100 I’ve visited and documented..treated me like this. Infact service in Mexico is outstanding and impressive with genuine authentic care!

Shame on FOH management for allowing this behavior and treatment of customers to happen. One bad seed can ruin it all unfortunately.

Check my yelp review too.

Food was good. Shrimp on the mains section was a bit rubbery and dry. Tostadas are packed with flavor and fresh fish. Ambiance was good.

A Tijuana staple. Chef Javier Plascencia has created an instant classic honoring Baja ingredients. I highly recommend the Tijuanero! They also carry a basic selection of local award-winning craft beer.

The place, decor or ambiance probably deserves ☆☆☆☆ but the food eventhough well served u0026 presented, they all have the same very spicy/peppery undertone or flavour. If you are not ok with hot/spicy or highly condimented foods, Erizo is not for you. I returned my shrimp main dish as it was way too spicy/hot to eat. My 2 other guests love their meal. For me, I won't be going back. Not a fan of hot/spicy food. I'd recommend instead to go to CEVICHERIA NAIS in Colonia Cacho, similar cousine but much more palatable for mild taste eaters.
