This was our second visit to Lorenza, as we loved our experience on our first. We enjoyed the Tomas (roasted tomato) soups and our shared chicharron de rib eye. We enjoyed a bottle from their selection of red wines from the Guadalupe Valley -- it was good, but now I cannot recall the name (which was quirky). Our server -- Luis Vicente -- was friendly and skillful. We will come back on our next visit to Tijuana.

About the restaurant

Bistró Sin Fronteras.
Les comparto los sabores que he recolectado del océano, el valle y la granja. Combinaciones que te harán viajar a rincones del mundo sin moverte de la mesa, desde delicias del mar con los mariscos más espectaculares, pastas hechas al momento con la frescura que mereces, los sabores propios de la granja, con los cortes más jugosos y exquisitos.

Great experience, special thanks to Miguel, he is very attentive and helpful, the food offerings are small bites but very tasty, their specialty drinks are delicious, we tried 5 different ones, the background music was super fun and the volume allowed to carry a conversation and enjoy the music as well, they also have live music. The bar interior is beautifully decorated like an old time airport terminal, very tasteful.

Valle de Guadalupe

About the restaurant

Elena is a gastronomic project under the concept of cuisine from the ground floor, in an environment
of comfort where diners can enjoy an extremely pleasant experience and
within a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
The restaurant offers a menu where our respect and appreciation for local ingredients is reflected, always using the freshest and best quality ingredients. The result is dishes created using a mix of influences from traditional and contemporary cuisines.
We ensure that the best accompaniment to our cuts of meat and seafood is, without a doubt, a good glass of wine. Our wine list is made up largely of wines from the Valle de Guadalupe, consistent with the idea of taking advantage of the region's product. Or if you fancy something more refreshing, we have a House Mixology menu from the most experimental and avant-garde to classic cocktails.

We loved Elena’s! The ambiance was great and the food amazing!!! My husband had a steak and mushroom and he said it was delicious, I had pasta in mushrooms and shrimp added.. the sauces were to die for. we finalized with a tres leches cake and some Carajillos. I had the mazapán and my husband had the Chocomenta carajillo both of them were amazing! I definitely would recommend this place. Our server was very educated on all the meals and he explained how everything was made.

Valle de Guadalupe

About the restaurant

IF YOU CAN'T FIND A SPACE, CONTACT US BY WA +526462374415
A place to enjoy wine, food and music. The architecture embodies the visions of psychedelic and surrealist illustrator Jaime Zuverza, their images were externalized via a vernacular and organic technique called ferrocement. Our bar integrates more than 60 labels of wine from Baja, wine by the glass, cocktails, crafted drinks and café.
Our unpretentiously, unostentatious but luscious kitchen celebrates local produce and farmers. We cook accordingly to seasons therefore we are moved by the nostalgia our traditional Baja food was once before the boom.

RESERVATION POLICIES
RSV+8 or more MUST send an email to reservaciones@bloodlust.wine or whatsapp us, no calls (+526462374415)
Only 10 minutes of tolerance
Keep in mind we also have events and reservations are no exception to a cover charge. More information at our instagram page @bloodlust.winebar
