Food in Tijuana

[Sol12]

Nice location with 2 restaurants. One is called Encanto, but the other one has hay bales you sit on and sometimes live music on Fri-Sun. If you are driving, then not an issue, but if you have to take cabs, then imagine it could get expensive. I think it was $5 to park in the dirt lot. Strong mixed drinks and decent food.

Yeah I mentioned this in the other section that he posted the same question. I've seen it on girls WhatsApp as it seems to be a nice place with great views. Also looking on Yelp it has a lot of positive reviews. The only downside is that it's not close to the border so if you drive be careful not to drink too much and like KB said a taxi / Uber will be expensive.

A chica just hit me up for a trip to Rosarito to eat at LOS Portales. Anyone go there?

Hopefully basic question. Any recommendations on really good chips and salsa on or near Revolucion? Only chips and salsa I had down there was at Ruta 3 and maybe El Museo and I would grade both around average.

On Revu, let's see, Hotel Ticuan's chips and salsa are pretty good.

Ruta 3 on Revo is on the 2nd floor with balcony overlooking the streets below. People are allowed to smoke on the balcony but not inside the open-air dining area WTF?

I asked the mesera if I could smoke. She [promptly brought out an astray. Smoking really AMPS up the pleasure while drinking and after eating, fucking. It would be too hard to smoke while tryign to penetrate the putas' slippery holes, but a few die-hard smokers probably tried.

A wingman plans to take me to this Cuban cigar shop on Revo and treats me to his favorite brand. Cuban cigars are rolled with old men's spit. Last time I smoked the alleged best brand it smelled like fresh shit, disgusting. Let comrade Fidel smoke those spit-rolled buggers all he wants.

I haven't seen any Tijuana restaurants that had a smoking section. Have you seen any that many belong to that group?

I am very seldom in Tijuana and since I go alone I haven't been to a restaurant in years. I just happened to notice this article in the news that I follow. When I read it again it seems a judge needs to finalize the decision which could take a few months. So maybe the law hasn't gone into affect yet.

The law the original poster was talking about I think only involved Tijuana restaurants. It was a little confusing but what I understand is that if your part of a certain group of restaurants you are allowed to have a smoking section. It seemed to only be designated to restaurants so bars wouldn't be allowed.

It's crazy how so many places go crazy about no smoking yet they are perfectly happy if you smoke a joint. I'm talking more about the US in this matter.

Not only was the law not repealed, it's gathering strength. I was just in Mexico City and the pedestrian-only streets near the Zocalo have big signs saying the entire area is smoke-free. We're talking about open air city blocks. Ridiculous.

Smoke 'them while you still can.

To add to that. Last month I noticed HK waiters were wearing new shirts with no smoking sign woven in the arms. So HK is definitely committed to no-smoking. I love it.

HK has had that sign on the shirts for a few months. HK needs to comply with any new rules because the city is always looking for a reason to fine them or shut them down.

Hello.

Is smoking still not allowed indoors in Tijuana? Read a short blurb about 'law' preventing indoor smoking was overturned. But as I have not read nor seen any news story about it not sure if true or not. Was in HK on Aug 17th didn't see anyone smoking inside. Planning on staying overnight next month in Tijuana and would like to find a bar where I can sit and smoke a cigar and drink. Thanks for any recommendations.

5th St and Revolucion. They have tables outside to smoke your cigar.

Thanks will check it out.

It's a nice, clean sports bar on Revo, corner Calle 4, second floor. They have a good menu of all sorts of Mexican dishes 100 to 250 pesos The 2 4 1 snack specials are shrimp and fish tostadas, including a beer for150 or $8, spicy, fresh and tasty, goes down well with $2 beers.

It's a nice, clean, civilized place with good food, compared to the street carts and hole in the wall mariscos places near La Zona, which are grimy and smelly.

Avoid restaurants in the trinket alleys off Santa Cecilia plaza and hotel Nelson. Food are bad and expensive, also $5 beers.
