Food in Tijuana

[Jackie888]

Can anyone recommend a couple of Tijuana restaurants with outdoor seating?

Gardeno Deli, Inspiracion 9, Taqueria Veggie, Ruro's, Faux Burgers. All 100% vegan restaurants. Those are the ones I frequent, off the top of my head, but there are a few more places.

If I'm with someone who's not vegan I'll take them to Alma Verde since they have a regular menu as well as a great vegan menu. Or I'll take them to a couple of the food truck parks that have a bunch of different food trucks including a vegan food truck for me since I'm a strict vegan.

Great.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Are pussies healthier than tacos?

If you have time I would love to know where you go for Vegan?

I know a few places that offer vegan options but not many restaurants that operate 100% vegan. I am sure many forum members would appreciate it.

In my case if I go vegetarian in Tijuana I go for Pizza (lacto / ovo) or just beans with rice and veggies Etc. Some of the Telefonica Parks have a vegan taco stand where you can buy mock duck tacos etc. The one on Aguas Caliente near Ocampo had one there.

Otherwise most Chinese restaurants have Tofu / Soya.

If anyone is in town and would like to get out of the zona and grab a bite to eat with me at any of Tijuana's great vegan restaurants shoot me a pm. I also know places that accommodate both vegan and non-vegan diet. I love going to these restaurants because it gives me a chance to scope out the local upscale women.

I think the tacos on and. Hero and Coahuila is good and pretty much a staple in that center. However, for those who wants to venture out a little, go to the end of Coahuila and Arias Bernal cross street (very shady / dangerous area at night, ok during the day), they make outstanding tacos and really cheap, super friendly workers there. Again, very shady area (Castillo), at any given time you dine there, you'll probably dine with Policia Federal.

Adventure level: 5-7 during the day; 11 at night (dark).

LOL You are brave! I have never been through there during the day. I've gone through there at night twice, in a car. That is one scary place! As Checkmate said, avoid that place at night at all costs.

Wow checkmate,

Looks like you are a local. A wingman claimed he knew the best taco shop in town and drove us to this corner late one night. The whole area was pitch black and shops were closed.

Google map shows Tacos Guanajuato at that corner, about 6 blocks and 1 mile West of HK. The tacos look huge and delicious, worth trying out one day. I like a place to sit down while I eat. Would be good to wash down the tacos with a few cervezas.

At that corner a shop is shown as "Hong Kong Take Out. " What are there to take out? Hot chicas?

Hargow,

For convenience, call this taco stand the HK taco stand.

Taco abodaba costs 25 pesos or $1.25 at this stand. Sopa de rez costs 30 pesos or $1.50. Don't know which tacos you ordered, but nothing costs 50 pesos at this stand.

I had a taco last night and they charged me 50 peso's. I last few times they charged me 20 peso's. 50 peso's is $2.50. This seems excessive for such a small taco.

Their tacos are not 50 MX pesos.

Sunday afternoon, the wind was cold, street girls were shivering in their skimpy clothes. One hot babe at hotel Ibiza in her fish net bikini was shaking, raising goose bumps, her skin was turning purple. Poor girls. On the way to Chicago Club, walked past rest Al Capone, saw a sign for Caldo de Rez meal for 65 pesos or about $3. 50. Just love some hot soup on a cold day.

Al Capone has changed ownership many times. People would rent the place, serve their menus, could not do enough business to make profit, closed down after a couple months. A few years back when time was good, half dozen Chicago girls would hang out here and have their meals in their yellow robes.

Chef Jose keeps his restaurant nice, spotless clean, serving a menu of Mexican dishes, hamburger and pastas. Ordered the Caldo de Rez, which is a beef soup in clear broth with vegetables. He had no beers so I walked around the corner to buy a couple from the little shop. He brought out a large bowl of hot soup with chunks of beef shank and fresh vegetables, served with rice, tortilla, chips and salsa. The beef shank was cooked just right, still chewy, tasteful and flavorful, broth was delicious with nice, clean beefy flavor. Vegetables were properly cooked, still crunchy and fresh. I tried to make this soup at home, but his soup is just far superior to any place I've had, including fancy restaurants.

I really like this nice, clean place to sit and eat, enjoyed the soup to the last drop. Recommended.

Thanks! I hope to check out the place in the near (future.

Payback for the great place you turned me onto in Lima. I could have eaten there every night and came out on top.

This is a place I highly recommend for Spanish food. Not widely known.

Asador Pamplona..

Thanks! I hope to check out the place in the near (future.
