Bahia Grill - Broad Channel

This restaurant is not just a hidden gem; it's a true standout. The location was easy to find, and the service was quite good, but the food was absolutely incredible! I tried the Tampeqiena (carne asada with an enchilada), and it was juicy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. I highly recommend this place to anyone searching for a great Mexican restaurant. Apologies for the photo — the meal was so delicious that I couldn't resist diving in right away!

It was my first visit to the restaurant. The portions were on the smaller side, the beans were a bit too runny, and while the chips were good, the salsa didn’t impress—it had more of a tomato sauce flavor and lacked depth. The staff wasn’t very friendly either. Overall, it was just an average experience.

I visited earlier today and ordered tacos. The service in the store was good, and I requested all the toppings on the side. I took the tacos home for my family, and we all ended up using the salsa. Unfortunately, it turned out to have gone bad, but we didn’t think to check it before adding it to our food since we were hungry. I called the restaurant to discuss this, and while they apologized, they hung up on me before I could fully explain the situation. I used to really enjoy dining here, but I’m not sure what’s happening lately. Additionally, the meats were quite dry.

We enjoyed complimentary chips and salsa at the restaurant! The tacos on Taco Tuesday were plentiful and flavorful. The potato taco was especially delicious! The fried ice cream was amazing, and I highly recommend trying it! They also offer free lollipops for kids. The manager was knowledgeable and friendly. We definitely plan to return!

The enchiladas verdes were also a highlight – the sauce was mild with a slight tang. I ordered an Agua Fresca de Jamaica, which was impressive in size and quite concentrated. I didn’t mind, though, as I diluted it to my taste, making it feel like I got nearly two cups for the price of one! Regardless, it was delicious, and I highly recommend it. For dessert, I tried the Deep Fried Ice Cream, which was a first for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The shell around the ice cream had a cereal-like batter that was lightly sweet, perfectly complementing the vanilla ice cream inside. The whipped cream was a delightful addition that enhanced the overall experience. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates authentic Mexican cuisine. The staff was friendly and attentive, contributing to a wonderful dining experience.
