Food in Tijuana

Next time will go during the week after 7 pm, save a few pesos. Show me the beef, one cut had some great salsa, very sweet and tender.

To bayboy,

Dinner after 7 on weekday costs only $11 or 187 NMP for all sorts of beef cuts, some pork, mutton and seafood.

This meal is delicious and it's a steal. The Brazilian churrascarias in LA cost $50 for lunch and $75 for dinner. They don't have too many guests so can't grill all different cuts. It's sad.

The beef in Mr. Pampas is sliced thin and overcooked, including the tenderloin or fillet mignon, but the big chunks of sirloin are still rare and juicy, the grilled pork so tasty and tender. In Brazil, my favorite cut is the hump on a bull. Don't know what they call it, but it tastes tender, flavorful and buttery, the best cut in the beef. When is Mr. Pampas smart enough to grill it?

The bros should pull their dicks out of the putas for a brief recess for Mr. Pampas delicious dinner. Tell the chicas you want to take them to Mr. Pampas for dinner. They would be so happy and their crotches would get so wet after eating hehe.

I was recently in Tijuana and had a chance to go to Mr. Pampas (Brazilian buffet). This is my experience.

BASE COST: 330 pesos on a Friday ($17) + drinks. Not that much for Gringos but probably a splurge for Mexicans. The crowd looked better dressed and more upscale than the El Centro people.

Each table had a flag / box thing. On the green side it said Gracias Si or Obrigado Simm. That meant that the skewer dudes had the green lite to bring the beef. If you moved the flag to red, it said Gracias No or Obrigado Nao which meant to not bring the skewers.

The skewer dudes had bife steak, res, pollo, pechuga, sausage etc. I had one cut of beef that was very tasty. But I enjoyed most of the cuts..

Glad that you liked Pampas. I remember suggesting it to you when you were asking about buffet options a little bit ago and you said that you would consider it because you had tried in Brazil before. It's good to get out of Zona Norte and switch it up a bit.

Not bad for free!

It comes with 2 eggs, ham, fries, thin slice steak, and fruits. All in one plate with tortilla on the side. No drinks!

Thanks. Definitely worth a try if you can wait that long. More brunch than breakfast!

SALAD and DESSERT BARS: Big selection of about 15 colorful / lite salads. Beet, tomato, carrot, macaroni, green salads etc. Good choices. There were various desserts (I didn't try any). But only 3 fruits. I was disappointed they only had watermelon, cantaloupe and honey dew.

I was the only single person there, with a few gringos speaking English. Lots of Mexicans in the inner dining room.

Nice meal would go again. I actually walked it from El Centro (35 min.) and back.

How / what is the free breakfast on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at HK? I could have had it but it didn't start until 10 am and I had to be gone by 9.

A few cool bros claim breakfast and coffee in La Zona have those sexy, feminine scents, far better than anything outside of La Zona hehe.

Take a walk out of Zona Norte. Plenty of good coffee in places like Praga, Bresca, Container Coffee and many more. Plenty of life in Tijuana beyond the ratero infested Zona.

Is it safe to walk to container coffee from Cascada or do I need to take a taxi?

Where is the best place in the zona norte to get regular coffee and breakfast?

La Perla on the NW corner of Coahuila and Nino Heroes.

Most places in LZ will serve you instant coffee, but La Perla freshly brews it. In the past, I've enjoyed their seafood omelets. I agree with a friend of mine to always get an order of fresh guacamole with your meal when you dine there.

Ricardo's Restaurant a street behind the Jai Alai palace on Revolucion has a 1950's style dinner with very fresh breakfasts with a basket on Danish pastries. Excellent Naranajadas and Limonadas like Slurpees from 7_11's for hot days. For a local breakfast in ZN, La Perla has good scrambled eggs with bacon and tortillas de maiz with fresh salsa for 40 pesos. Make your own egg tacos with the best salsa in Tijuana!

I too have to search for a good cup of coffee in La Zona in the morning.

Azul and Monaco feed you tasteless, flavorless instant coffee.

La Perla would brew coffee for your breakfast, but they are slow to fire up the pot. Their breakfast is average.

The little restaurant in the alley, across HK's back door, serves decent breakfast with brewed coffee. Just ask them to bring sugar and cream out separately so they don't kill it with sugar.

OXXO brews good hot coffees. Just buy a large coffee for 20 pesos and take it to your favorite restaurant for breakfast.

Thanks Captain, will try some more next time I am there, hopefully in a few weeks time.

I am not much into food or alcohol, so my mind stays sharp and focused on sex, LOL.

Ya, the fish tacos with fish fillets dipped in batter and deep fried in lard (smell good and taste delicious, a good deal for 25 pesos. The spicy shrimp and cheese tacos are excellent for 45 pesos. But a big meal with high fat content could weigh your stomach down and interfere with your libido.

Try his seven-seas mixed sea food soup, (sopa de siete mare) with chunks of shrimp, fish, crab, octopus, vegetables. It's similar to the French Bouillabaise and is delicious. Who says we can't have high cuisine in Tijuana? The girls would sit on the stools, dine on sea food tacos here. They would talk among themselves, kid around and tease guys, and almost always tip the workers generously..
