Posts: 6522Churrascaria do Brasi
Churrascaria do Brasil is in a shopping mall on Blvd Agua Caliente, further South from La Zona than Mr Pampas, but just about every cut of their meats are higher grades and expertly grilled to rare or medium, juicy, tasty, tender and flavorful. Mr. Pampas meats tend to be dry, tough and overcooked.
They also have more fresh varieties at the salad bar, about $12 weeknights after 6 until, no waiting for tables and not too noisy like Mr Pampas, highly recommended. My wingman is a professional chef and he liked it. He knew about all these cuts of meats and the quality of grilling far more than I did. We ate for about 2 hours. He gulped down 7 to 8 plates of meats plus 2 rounds of deserts, then went back to HK to screw 2 girls. Damn. His stomach is probably heavy-duty industrial grade. After a couple plates of meats, my only problem was lack of interests in talking, walking or sexing for a couple hours hehe. This grill is a very sumptuous treat for meat and cheese lovers. I would stop going to Mr. Pampas from now on.
The place did not have electricity or water all afternoon including about 1 hour while we were there. Unlike Pampas, The hostesses and waiters were fairly young but spoke very little English. You may have to use the voice translate app; we did not have to as we were expertly trained in the arts of hands, legs, mouth, tongue communication by the HK's trainers. Uber ride from La Zona about $6, 10,15 minutes.

Posts: 2420I just discovered the food district for about $3.50 per Uber from Cascadas. It is pretty decent over there with a couple of nearby malls and a nice break from a strip club atmosphere. Normal High dining for me is a clean food truck, so I am pretty impressed with the restaurants in the area. Actually I am more impressed with the prices. For the price of a Subways meal back in the States, I can actually have a decent sit down meal in a Tijuana upscale restaurant.

That place looks huge. It shows a large menu with no prices. I have to try it soon. The place in Ensenada looks nice but has a smaller menu WTF?
Mexicans eat raw seafood with salsa and various spicy sauces. To me Mexican mariscos are far more delicious than sushis and sashimis. I don't like to eat sushis with big lumps of rice. I would rather eat just seafood with spicy sauces Mexicans' ways.
A few Japanese bros living in San Diego keep driving down to Tijuana just to buy cocteles and ceviches of shrimp and raw shellfish. A new guy, an accomplished chef, who never ate raw seafood, got addicted to Mexican raw seafood. He would hang out at the school girl corner and stuff himself with raw seafood. Every time we went to Tijuana he has to hit the sea food cart first!
Have to keep the addresses here so I can quickly look up. The Ensenada location looks down the ocean with a nice, clean beach, about 5 miles North of El Centro, nice place to bring your GFs:

Posts: 841I've had quite a bit of good ceviche, though, which is *kind of* like sushi (I guess? I'm not the biggest expert on great ceviche or sushi, but I enjoy them both).

Posts: 657Villa Marina Seafood Restaurant in Zona Rio
A doctor recommended I try this place as it is her favorite seafood restaurant in Tijuana. When I visited I had an excellent fish soup, had the guacamole and shrimp in different sauces. They offer sushi and have an open kitchen where you can watch them prepare the food in front of you. Attentive waiters and WiFi. If you want fresh fish for your sushi, you might want to give this a try. "Villa Marina Restaurant, where you can experience the best in low seafood in a family atmosphere, pleasant music to any ear and screens for your favorite events; features that we offer each visit. The perfect place to relax, enjoy fresh seafood, an ice cold beer or a glass of wine. " https://villamarinarestaurante.com/.

Posts: 6522Mariscos El Choforo
I used to take my friends and foreign visitors to La Perla for a taste of Mexican food and lifestyle, but they all complained the mariachis bands play way too loud, it was impossible to stay long and enjoy the food. Business in La Perla has dwindled down to basically nothing with several changes in ownership in the last few years. Prices are high and portions are small; ingredients not as fresh as the street stands.
I found a small place, Mariscos El Choforo, on Ninos Heroes and Calle 1, 1 block South of the alley. Their food is surprisingly good, fresh and cheap, about half of La Perla's prices. Their dishes are even better, fresher and tastier than the big chain, Mariscos Titos at less than half the prices. Open 8 to 8. Check it out. Be careful walking South on Ninos after dark.

Like this place a lot! Was in there last Tuesday night and nobody was in the joint. Cute waitress at the bar, drank and ate, super cheap and great atmosphere even though nobody was there. I hadn't been in there in about 3 years and had forgotten how much I liked it. It's right across from Bar Tropical. Check it out. Moe.

Posts: 6522Medellin
I went to some of the fanciest Churras in Rio and Sao Paolo. They had very few clients. The ones in Tijuana are not bad, with lots more clients and lots of chicas nearby after the meal hehe.
Too bad you could not break free to have hot times in Tijuana before going back to Medellin.
Will contact you when I am ready to go.
