Food in Tijuana

I had a great meal with my civie lady friend here lat night.

We had. 7 Kg of Wagu on a salt block, soup, and veggies with garlic and rosemary chips.

The starters, soups, and meat was fantastic, and except for how they prepare (or lack thereof) the salt block, it was extremely pleasant.

I cook on a salt block at home 2-3 times a week, and you have to clean it. Not that one can be dirty. Its just baked on meat drippings, but all they seem to do is brush off the heavy stuff and that is all.

This is a clean, prepared salt block (Photo 1 with chicken).

This was theirs. The black one.

I didn't get any salt off the block thru it.

It didn't affect the meat to finish from bleu up to my temp on it. But I got no salt.

I go to Korean BBQ restaurants occasionally. I've personally never done any work in terms of grilling my own meats (I don't cook LOL). I always have let the server do it for me. I assume it's the same in Tijuana. That the server will be back and forth between tables grilling the meats for people who prefer not to do it themselves.

I have never seen this.

The skill to make meat "grey" from "red", is not entirely difficult to manage. Or for the thicker cuts, pink in the middle, brown out the outside.

I have never seen people cooking food for you at a table before.

I find grilling meats at my table is a pain. It is work and it is slow.

So the people at the table cannot consume food as fast a rate as with pre-cooked buffet.

Since time is limited I don't like the restaurants where you need to cook your own food.

I live next to a Gen Korean BBQ House and I do not go there for the same reasons.

Hmm you must live on microwavable meals then? I didn't find it hard work and the maseros didn't try to rush me out. Tell you what Rambo I will take you there the next time I am in Tijuana and I will grill your meat for you. PM me your number.

Ate at Tabu this afternoon and I'the give the place a pass. Food was okay, but not someplace I'the return. Also the service is kind of slow, but maybe due to short staffing and due to the fact it is in the mall. I've yet to find good find in a mall. I'm enjoying my time back in MX after being in Europe for the past 2 weeks. Vaccine QR codes are a real thing and most places don't allow you to do business without it.

Yeah, was in Zona Rio last week and was pretty surprised when a coffee shop asked me for my proof of Vax. Seems to be a thing in restaurants now.

Mouzone,

Got the name now. It's a very good deal, more delish than Brazil BBQ as you grill the meats hot at the table.

A few of my wingmen can eat a whole cow, so we will have to hit it soon.

I was asked for my vaccination records at Starbucks in Gallerias Hippodromo, but not at restaurants. It is hit or miss and not mandatory. My girlfriend said it is a recommendation from the government, but not mandatory. It was more of an issue in Europe than in Mexico. Glad the USA Is a free country for now.

This is where I eat now if I have time they have their own benches, last week I sat with a beautiful 20 year old. In San Diego she would never be caught eating alone someplace like that. But in that neighborhood the woman aren't all full of themselves. Then I tipped the girl who took the food to my bench, sort of a waiter, 75 cents. She was thrilled. It was nice to see someone happy for my "1 dollar baby. You looked at me in a strip club so you you owe me 1 dollar baby". It was so nice seeing her happy that I started buying more street food just so I could tip the others and see their similar reaction. It was more fun than hk tipping.

Well this might be the last week of that so hopefully you get to enjoy it while you can. They set it up in December. The ex enjoyed it because of the different types of food available.

Mouzone,

Everything is better cooked hot and fresh at the table.

When you are here, don't dine alone (except at the Y). Take a hot chica with you. The chicas just loooove Chino food.

Tijuana has a pretty cool street food scene going on right now in front of the Guadalupe Church about 2 blocks South of the alley across from the Mujer mall. Looks like about at least 6 taco vendors, a pizza vendor, at least 2 pastry vendors. It is like a mini-swap meet of food vendors. Looks like a food fair. The taco vendor closest to the Church side is pretty good. Had some sort of mushroom tacos there.

Yes, the AYCE Korean BBQ scene is strong where I live on the East Coast so I'm familiar with how it works. I'm thinking that yes, there's a good chance this will be a better deal than even Mr. Pampas or Churrascaria Do Brasil so am looking very forward to checking it out the next time I'm down there, especially with it being a brand new spot.

AYCE Korean BBQ, 260 pesos is like $13, damn good deal. We need to go before they raise prices.

Originally in Ensenada, It's new in Tijuana, on the East side of Ave Aqua Caliente, near Sam's club.
