Came here for an early lunch and pretty much had the whole place to myself. Ordered 2 different cocktails that went excellently with the Pork Belly. It was cooked to perfection, as good as some of the Pork Belly I've had in Texas. My waiter also brought out this massive tray of different pastries for me to try at no additional cost which I thought was very cool. I love the ambience and setup of this restaurant, it's classy and chic without overdoing it.

I had a phenomenal experience, the place was very nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful, I order the 6 course meal with the wine pairing and all I can say is that it was amazing. Now let’s talk about the price( well considering that is a Michelin star restaurant be prepared to drop a couple hundred dollars so be ready)I’m definitely coming back.

Had their chef menu with wine pairing. Food was better last time I was there. Nothing really memorable about the dishes this time. Rissotto was dry, filet mignon was bit over cooked with sauce, taco was too sweet. Overall there was no complexity or texture to their items. Plating was ok, wine was ok, but service was decent. Was hoping for a repeat experience but l
Was left with unsatisfied taste buds.

Mission 19, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Tijuana, is a well-known favorite among foodies visiting the city. Located in an unassuming office complex in central Tijuana, it’s a hidden gem that surprises with its upscale and modern décor. The sleek, contemporary atmosphere sets the tone for a fine dining experience, and I genuinely appreciated the ambiance from the moment I walked in. However, despite the restaurant's prestigious reputation, there were a few hiccups during our visit that prevented it from being flawless.

Upon arrival, we encountered an issue with their digital menus, which weren't working for the first 30 minutes. This left us sharing a single hardcopy food menu, which was manageable but not ideal, especially when they were pushing us to order drinks without a drink menu on hand. This felt a bit rushed and annoying, as we wanted time to look over our options before making any decisions. When the digital menus finally started working, we ordered cocktails, and I must say, they were well-crafted and enjoyable. However, since we were a group of five and all opted for tasting menus with wine pairings, the cocktails took a back seat to the wines paired with our courses.

As for the food, there were several tasting menu options, and I was tempted to go for the larger one. However, one of the courses included oxtail, which I don’t eat, so I settled on the six-course menu. The meal began with a tuna parfait that was fine but not particularly memorable or inventive. The subsequent courses were generally good, but there were some missteps. In particular, the risotto stood out for the wrong reasons—while I understand that risotto should be al dente, some of the rice was undercooked to the point of being hard, which detracted from the overall enjoyment of the dish.

Thankfully, the meal ended on a high note with two perfectly cooked pieces of filet mignon. They were tender, flavorful, and portioned just right, leaving me satisfied by the end of the meal. While the menu overall had its highs and lows, I would say that for a Michelin-starred restaurant, there were moments where the execution didn’t live up to the expectation, particularly with the risotto and some service aspects. Despite these issues, it was still a fun and enjoyable evening with friends, and the restaurant certainly has potential to deliver a more consistent experience.

In conclusion, Mission 19 is still worth trying, especially if you’re a foodie interested in exploring Tijuana’s fine dining scene. The atmosphere and certain dishes lived up to the hype, even if a few elements fell short. While they weren’t performing at their highest level during my visit, I remain optimistic that future diners will have a smoother experience. Given the reputation and overall vibe of the restaurant, I would still recommend giving it a shot, as it has the potential to impress on a better night.
