“ Great early dinner! All the staff was fantastic and explained the inspiration behind each dish ( to varying degrees of success). Sadly I’m a useless mono linguistic American :(. Everyone did a great job though! Eveything was delicious including the cocktails, all spot on! However special recognition has to go to the black taco and the gold rush. The gold rush although looking like nothing special on the menu is anything but. Somehow the chef had found the perfect ratio of steak, potato and Demi glaze to obtain the perfect bite. It just worked all together so well. Honestly just the steak was worth the price alone. Bravo! Thank you for the meal today! ”
“ Fantastic experience! Isa was great! He told us beautiful stories about the inspiration behind each dish and the origins of the ingredients used. ”
“ Oryx is an absolute gem in Tijuana, and Chef Ruffo is truly amazing! Every dish we ordered was perfectly on point. The Green Aguachile with shrimp, charred pineapple, and cilantro was a fresh burst of flavor, and the charred pineapple sorbet was a delightful surprise. The octopus with cilantro, chilies, escabeche emulsion, celery root, and habanero ash was incredibly tender and packed with bold, balanced flavors. The service was just as fantastic as the food. I love absolutely everything here and can’t wait to come back! ”

“ What a wonderful experience. The service was attentive and elegant. The vibes were high end, but friendly. The food far exceeded expectations and was just a pleasure experiencing. Drinks were great too! ”
“ The food here is beyond delicious. We tried the sweet potato fries, the octopus and the rib eye chicharron. Service is also fantastic. They have a nice variety of wine and a long list of specialty made cocktails. ”
“ Wow. This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in recent years. Not just the food, but the service was also top notch. We travel around a lot for food, and we were blown away by the whole experience. So much attention to detail, and it was nice how much pride everyone who worked there took in what they do. As far as the food goes, I think our favorite dish was actually the black taco (I almost cried eating it, incredible). The pulpo and the aguachile verde were also standouts. Honestly, everything was good. Wanted to extend a further shout out to our server Oscar! He was yery passionate about food and wine, and he really added to the overall experience. As someone who worked in the industry for some time, I really appreciated all of his efforts. My only critique if I had one would be the wine list. Like a lot of the restaurants in Tijuana and Mexico overall, they focus on local wines. While I can appreciate that, it is nice to have other options, especially in white wine and dessert categories. They make up for it with their cocktails though!! Incredible. Make sure to ask about their speak easy, Nortico. Did not disappoint!! ”
“ Food was fresh and delicious. Salvador made some excellent recommendations, especially the black taco. Super enjoyable meal here! ”
