Food in Tijuana

[UsaInEurope]

Just typed in this huge report on La Justina and then the database goes down for 2 minutes? Fuck.

Anyway, the food is absolutely mind blowing. Not typing the rest of it out. Get the tuna tostada.

I had a nice dinner at Senda Norte restaurant near tropical bar by myself, but the interior reminded me of being in Miami.

Looks like a diner doesn't it?

I just ate there an hour ago. Had a good hamburgesa and a beer. It is a nice new place. I will be going back there.

Looking to find a place with a nice interior for a sit down dinner maybe with a chica.

You'll have to give up "within a close, safe walking distance to HK. " Zona Rio is a super quick Uber ride away and has plenty of nice restaurants. If you are looking more for ambiance than pure tastiness of the food, the bar restaurant on the second floor on Revo directly across from Hotel Rio Rita is pretty nice and they even carry my beloved Maestro Dobel Diamante tequila at a very fair 125 pesos.

It's tripas, chorizo and adobada tacos at Charly's on Constitucion all day for me.

What's the best, most expensive restaurant within a close, safe walking distance to HK? Could it just be Azul?

Most of us regulars tend to eat elsewhere because we have broaden our safe walking distance, especially in the day time. Azul have pull a bait and switch on me before, feeding me an ordered rib eye steak that was clearly not rib eye. But I still eat at Azuls for convenience and a chance to look up the skirts of the chicas while they are in public. Hey I get off on cheap thrills. Pricing of their American part of the menu have gone up about 20% while delivering poorer quality food. If you eat there, I recommend Mexican dishes. Cheaper and tastier, the local cook at least know how to prepare them.

Also within safe walking distance even in the middle of the night is the restaurant across the street and owned by Adelitas. The restaurant behind and owned by the Tropical Club. The tiny hole in the wall restaurant next to and owed by the Chicago Club. The La Perla seafood restaurant across the intersection from HK. The tiny taco bar across the street from and owned by HK. The Chinese food take out across the street from Adelitas.

Love that place. Expensive? No. But delicious!

Anybody been to La Justina on revo? Its closer to HK than Caesars and looks upscale and modern on google maps.

I haven't liked Azul food for a long time. They changed management a while back and now serve lower quality food and less of it, but charge more. So much wasted potential with that place, ran by morons.

"Good restaurant" and "within close walking distance of the sewer, err, Zona Norte" are almost mutually exclusive.

As Brother Tom said, Caesar's is good. They are a bit pricey, but they are in the middle of a very high-traffic area of downtown. I've not yet been to Justina so I can't say how expensive it is. It seems to come up on lots of "lists" but I also have heard mixed reviews. It's definitely worth a shot.

Casa de Tlayuda and Piedra Santa (in the same building) are considered pretty expensive, by local standards. They are on the corner of 5th and Revu. They are high on my list to try, but I don't get downtown as often as I'd like.

There are other good places on Revu. Giuseppe's is good for its price point, which is not expensive. Vittorio's is better, although a further walk. Neither would be considered "expensive. " If you really want expensive (by Mexican standards) you'll need to get away from the ZN.

OK, now you have quite a selection, all within walking distance (assuming you consider between 4 and 10 blocks close). Go and report back.

Ceasars on 5th and Revolucion. Except its not the best. Its good but the portion sizes for the cost is a rip off.

I wouldn't say "best" -- maybe best in the 1960's. Old school, or maybe just old. Have the salad and say you did it.
