Seafood is always an excellent option, whether it is because it is a hot day and you wish to try something different or simply because of a craving. In addition, seafood can be eaten in so many different ways that there won’t be a day when you could get bored with them. They can be had in broth, as a cocktail, a steak, roasted, fried, or in any style, the list is endless.

On Mesones 11 you will find one of the quietest terraces in the city, with a beautiful view of San Miguel. Most of all, it is a coastal-style setting as pleasant as you could imagine, the place is Baja Fish Taquito, seafood restaurant.

Their specialty, as its name suggests, are fish tacos. But that is not all, they have all other types of seafood, although it is the fish taco which has become the dish that many of the locals and tourists know them for and come to try. However, they have excellent seafood cocktails, breaded fish fillets, seafood a la diabla or in other forms, tostadas, shrimp consommé, ceviche and many others that form part of the restaurant’s offerings. There is even a menu for “the little ones”, consisting of dishes such as chicken nuggets, French fries, cheese fingers and breaded fish fajitas.
