Restaurant Mariposa

The food here is really good and as authentic as you can figure be in TJ. We had the chicken fried rice, beef and broccoli and the kung Pao chicken. The quality was excellent and the portions were generous. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is quite an odd place as far as getting in. What I mean is that although there's a sign that said by reservation only, there was only one couple dining inside, when I knocked in the door to see if they were open for business, the lady asked for how many and then said to wait a bit, which we did. About 5-10 mins later she returned and had a table ready. The door was locked after we entered, which is the part that I found strange, we arrived at dinner time 6pm on a Friday. How do they expect to continue this odd way of doing business? All that aside, the food was good and everything else is fine. I'm not quite sure if I will return though. There are many other options that don't lock their customers in.

Very rude customer service, especially the lady there. She is racist, and treated us poorly because we're white. She was very nice to everyone else. The food is ok, but no different than any other Chinese food place.

I love the food in this place. One negative things is that service can be okay, but not because they are rude but because of language barriers. It’s odd that I get great service but the table next to me who is complaining that the server doesn’t speak English or Spanish well, get horrible service. Surprised, not really because these people are ignorant and lack patience.

Best Chinese food in Baja (better than any Mexicali), but if you come here dont try your common dishes that are served everywhere since they are not there strongest. Try the house duck, pollo Cheche, the green vegetables, the house soup.

Even though service is kind of slow, food is always delicious! I cannot recommend it enough, all ingredients are fresh and plate portions always suffice. Definitely one of the best Chinese places in Tj.
