Ostioneria Bahia Mexican Seafd Orange

Really enjoyed this place. A lot more variety than your typical Mexican restaurant and at least to me it felt a lot more authentic as well. My wife really enjoyed it as well. Only suggestion I would give the restaurant is to heat the plates before serving because the plates were very cool causing the food to get cold much quicker.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ostioneria Bahia in Orange, CA, and I must say it was an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality, as if we were family. The staff promptly seated us, and I immediately ordered a coffee and a glass of water. To my delight, the coffee arrived quickly and was freshly brewed, setting the tone for the meal ahead. As we settled in, tostada chips and salsa were brought to the table. The chips were warm and crispy, and the salsa was absolutely delicious. For starters, I decided to try the Botana Bahia, which included a small shrimp cocktail, shrimp tostada, fish ceviche tostada, and half a dozen oysters. The oysters arrived first, and although I expected them to taste strongly of the ocean, they surprised me with their refreshing and incredibly fresh flavor. The shrimp cocktail was a true standout, loaded with plump shrimp and perfectly seasoned. I added a dash of Tapatio for an extra kick, and it was a flavor explosion. The shrimp ceviche tostada was piled high with shrimp and tasted amazing, while the fish ceviche had a well-balanced ratio of meat to vegetables and was marinated to perfection. The addition of jalapeños provided a pleasant spice, while the cucumbers kept the dish refreshingly cool. Next, I ordered the Filete a la Diabla, a fillet of fish grilled in hot sauce. Let me tell you, the Filete a la Diabla at Ostioneria Bahia is my absolute favorite. The spicy and delicious flavor is expertly balanced, allowing the flavor of the fish to shine through. The garlicky toasted pepper taste adds a wonderful depth of flavor that is truly delightful. Accompanied by a side of refried beans and white rice, the dish was a complete masterpiece. The beans melted in my mouth, and the rice was cooked to a perfect buttery texture. What impressed me just as much as the food was the impeccable service throughout the meal. My water glass and coffee were consistently refilled, and empty plates and trash were promptly cleared away, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience. In conclusion, my overall experience at Ostioneria Bahia was exceptional, and I can confidently say that I will be a regular customer. From the warm greeting at the door to the delicious food and attentive service, everything was top-notch. I highly recommend visiting Ostioneria Bahia for a memorable dining experience that will leave you craving more.
