Mariscos Quina - Altiplano

I was walking down Articulo 123, about halfway between Av. Niños Heros and Av. Consitución, wondering where I was going to eat next, when I spotted Restaurant Mariscos Quina, It 's a small restaurant that specializes in mariscos Mexican seafood and a sign in the window caught my eye, advertising fish tacos. I was hooked! My visit actually happened back in September, 2018, and it 's taking me a little time to getting around to publish it here on Yelp. Com permiso... As you enter the dining room, you 'll see the faux ocean decor and the girl who can 't take her eyes of the television, which was playing Mexican soap operas at the time of my visit. I think every television in Tijuana is tuned to soap operas, all afternoon. Nothing like a beer and a soap opera! There is a long, narrow dining room to the right, outside the photo. Since the restaurant has a small facade to the street, the dining room is long, narrow, and decorated in a nautical theme. After all, this is a seafood restaurant. From the Special on the Wall menu, I ordered Three Tacos Pescados y Consome, which works out to three fish tacos, along with a bowl of fish soup. Not advertised on the menu, but my lunch also included a dollop of crema, along with a helping of fresh, in house made salsa, which arrived in a separate bowl, so you could garnish your tacos to your liking. Of course the meal also included appetizers of chips, crackers and lime wedges. My meal started out with an appetizer of tortilla chips, fresh salsa, saltine crackers and lime wedges. The tortilla chips were fresh, and exactly what you 'd expect at any restaurant or diner in Tijuana. There were also three small packages of Mexican saltine crackers, which taste like... saltine crackers. The salsa cruda was made, in house, and was fresh tomato, onion, cilantro and diced pepper. Lime wedges were included to squeeze juice on the salsa, and it that didn 't work, there were a couple bottles of Mexican hot sauce to kick the salsa up a notch or two. The small bowl of fish soup was delicious, and really helped to round out the nautical meal. It was actually more of a fish broth, with small pieces of green onion and fish in the soup. I 'm a sucker for soup of any kind, and I really enjoyed this bowl of consome as an appetizer. My lunch included three large pieces of fish most likely dorado battered, and deep fried to a crispy golden brown on the outside, and tender juicy inside. Each bite of the delicious fish was a taste sensation, and when you 're talking fish tacos, with each piece of fish wrapped around toasted corn tortillas, with fresh salsa, along with a little crema, you have a delicious fish taco! This fine meal include THREE fish tacos, and I enjoyed every bite! For the price of MEX $37.00, I enjoyed a Pacifico beer, plus the described seafood lunch that left me so full, that I skipped on dinner later that night. If I hadn 't ordered the beer, my delicious lunch would have only cost MEX $25.00, which is less than the price of a fast food burger in the U.S. As I write this article, I 'm amazed how a restaurant, such as Restaurant Mariscos Quina can serve such a quality product, at a reasonable price. Restaurant Mariscos Quina,serves delicious seafood tacos at unbelievable prices! Highly recommended! This small seafood diner isn 't fancy, but it 's clean, and the nautical decor is on the tacky side, but works well in Tijuana. The staff is super friendly, the prices are beyond reasonable, and the fried fish is as good as it gets. I love these little authentic Mexican restaurants, and Restaurant Mariscos Quina nets 5 stars, in my boat.
