Food in Tijuana

[Jackie888]

I know many of you will laugh at me but is there any good place who offer chicken taco. All places I am searching don't offer chicken they have beef / pork taco.

I am not into Red meat so thought of asking seniors as it's very difficult to ask or search with no espaol.

The closest to pollo tacos was when I went over to the Mujer Mall and got went to one of the side restaurants that sold BBQ chicken, and they gave me a lot of tortillas, and I asked for a lot of side stuff and made myself pollo tacos. Pollo tacos in Tijuana is kind of like Burritos. They are available in theory and you have to make your own.

Quartz seems really nice, but the hotel prices in Tijuana as a whole are overpriced, I don't get it. I'the go to Tijuana a lot more if the hotel prices were reasonable for Mexico.

Look up Hotel Velario on hotels dot com. It is exceptionally cheap, safe and right near HK. An escort who I built trust with was willing to go there OTC, but got resistance from some escort agencies to go there like Musas.

On the southwest corner of the intersection just north of the cigar shop near Las Pulgas is my new go to for tacos if I'm in the area. They have a wide variety: lengua, costillas, chicharron, and many others. Nice soft double tortillas and they max out the meat they put in. I'm not a big eater but definitely eat more at a sitting than most and I tapped out after three pretty delicious tacos. At 35 pesos each, I feel like you get 2-3 normal tacos worth of goodness.

Next to Simsa is a fancy very expensive hotel call Quartz, next to it is "The Park".

I stopped by there just to check it out and eager to get to HK so didn't stick around but the ambiance is very nice and I do want to eat there in the future.

It didn't get great reviews but I think it's cause their marketing sucks a bit. It could be a little gem to go for a little break. It's on the east side of the river so maybe best to go before going to Zona Norte or maybe after before going home. Or a break from the action.

Farmer's Table and The Park Gastro Park.

I recommend the lobster stand. Delicious food but very expensive. That whole area is geared to gringos staying in New City Towers.

Does anyone know anything closer to Zona Norte? I like Xolo Tacos near the airport but curious if there is anything near the mongering action.

Tacos El Franc on Sanchez Taobada could "possibly" have it. I think their old location was the one that started the craze? I could be wrong on all points so don't quote me on that.

The purple striped La Linea bus goes by that area. You can catch it by 4th & Constitucion or 2nd street. It then goes to the border. Not sure the route it takes from the border however?

That is likely the same food court. But you can't miss this place you can see it anywhere in San ysidro or Zona Norte just look up in the sky for the tallest building. It will say new city medical. Its a few towers together and go and ask for the food dinning court. It's semi outside I guess you could say there's a ceiling but one wall is open. It's the nicest place I've eaten in Tijuana besides wine country in Ensenada. You can take the bus there from revolucion street if you know how to navigate the buses.

I visited a fellow mongers apartment he rented in new city with a couple of his bros. It seemed real pimp and very secure, I really liked it alot! I saw a restaurant, store to buy groceries and of course a restaurant. But my only question do you need to know someone who lives there to go to the restaurant to eat?

No, you do not need to live their. The prices for what I've been ordering are less than revolucion so I was getting burritos for $8 dollars and chips with guac for $5 The parking garage was only 2 dollars. I've been. A few times and the staff is polite, on par with usa restaurant compared to revolucion restaurants / hotels which can't hide their distain for gringos sometimes. And Yes it is built like a embassy, one entrance from what I remember for the housing section. I waited for a friend one day 1 hour outside watching the fancy cars pull in. You can be a politician, musician, businessman, drug dealer, they all want the new city safety. My 1st weed smoking experience was 5 yrs ago, a girl I met was a house cleaner, of a famous drug lords family. The weed they didn't want she would take home to smoke. She was just messed up and loco enough to be able to handle that job and enjoy their company. They were very good to her sent her home with a lot of food too.

It does look like a really nice place but I just wanted to throw it out there to anybody who's thinking of going. Expect to pay 80-100+ usd round trip if you take a taxi or uber down there from Tijuana. Also getting a uber back from portales to Tijuana might not be easy.

I drive my own car to Mexico. If you decide to go then you can take the free road which takes longer and more traffic or the toll road to expedite your trip. I prefer the toll road which is like 40 peso every toll booth. I think you hit 2 or 3 toll booths, but memory isn't good since I haven't been to Rosarito and Ensenada in a while. Lots to explore in Baja. I would give Valle Guadalupe a pass unless you or your chica likes vino. It is overpriced and places close early.

[Anthony2023]

You should try Encanto or LOS Portales in Rosarito. They usually have live music, good food, and good mixed drinks. Good place to take your favorite chica or best buds, but preferably chica or chicas.

Shit I don't know and was wondering the same thing while waiting in the sentri line. They got a 12 foot wall surrounding the entire block with limited gate entrance. Slightly resembles our fortress embassy in Iraq.

Not at all but prices are much closer to San Diego. That goes for everything in that building. It will be the first place to follow SD in everything. Especially pricing. Found a two bedroom there for $2,300 but I turned it down. You know that rent will go up into the 2,600 range then up from there. However I do plan on using their medical facilities when I need a doctor. The hospital / lab should be opening soon.
