We came here for Cocktails unfortunately not for the food. It looked delicious though. And I might come back for the food. The cocktails were very well prepared, strong, and tasty. I would recommend it to anyone. The atmosphere is also a great evening vibe.

Delicious margarita! Prior to enjoying a yummy margarita in a nice quiet outdoor spot earlier this year, I'd never been to Tijuana. I was recommended to swing by here on a road trip by a former triathlon teammate. Easy to park up on the US side and walk across the border to savor a salty margarita in MX. Fun! Very friendly service here, too. Highly recommend!

Didn't expect the decor to be so nice. It was cute just very little. I wanted to try a couple dishes but was informed that they were out of octopus which bummed us out. They were also out of the Tuna we wanted. Regardless, everything we had was delicious. Four of us ate and drank for about $100

Located on the main drag of Avenida Revolución in Tijuana, La Justina is a modern bar and restaurant offering a creative gastropub take on local dishes. Each table was started with a bag of seasoned popcorn, and sitting at the bar, I ordered the Hamburguesa de Pulpo (octopus burger), which came with several whole octopus tentacles nestled into a thick brioche bun, along with guacamole, pork rinds, and greens. Since this was a "burger," I was expecting more of a ground meat patty made of octopus but was pleasantly surprised that it came with whole tentacles! This was definitely a luxurious "burger" and well worth the price. On top of the delicious, creative food, the service was super friendly, and the atmosphere was colorful and modern.

Wow! What an entertaining cocktail experience! SUGGESTION: Come on a weekday so it's not busy, then sit at the amazing bar. We watched Jean Pierre work his cocktail magic. He did a wonderful job entertaining us! He is so passionate on the art of making cocktails. It's obvious he's extremely knowledgeable about his craft. We asked for specific requests based on flavor and aroma, and he customized our requests! I had a Smoked Old Fashioned w/ a dried orange, topped with mint. Jean Pierre burned some cherry wood, and filled the smoke in a jar. Then he poured the mixed cocktail into the jar. The smoke, along with the orange and mint gave a whole other experience drinking an Old Fashioned! We also had garlic-salted grasshoppers at the bar. The inside is decorated with a cool and hip vibe. We only sat at the bar, but at the rear has more dining area. They also have a pizza oven, but we didn't order any food, so cannot comment on that. The bar countertop is coated in a cool epoxy-resin covered with pennies! Way cool! The funky restroom in the back is walled with floor-to-ceiling mirrors! Entertaining experience at the bar with craft cocktails. I totally recommend when in Tijuana!

Amazing cocktails! Definitely trendier, hipsterish and a cool place to hang out. We ate at Caesars before this and wanted to come for drinks. Ended up getting the octopus carpaccio. It was so good. Just the way I like it. My friend got the corn dish, she didn't like it. Then we got 2 cocktails each, the first my Mexican friend ordered us something in Spanish with mezcal and taste like some tamarind too. Had no idea but it was good. Second cocktail, basically the bartender made whatever he wanted and it was like a tiki drink. Really enjoyed that too. Came in a cute fish glass. Reminded me of a tiki bar. The other cocktails were theatrical with smoke, and tasted just as good as it looks. A tad bit pricier for the strip on food and drinks, but a must visit!
