Food in Tijuana

[Artisttyp]

Thanks!! I go past Lionfish frequently. I'll make sure we give this a try next week.

Great.

If you like Sopa de Ajo they do a really good job with it here. They add a fried egg and sausage to it which was an amazing experience for my tastebuds.

Well you guys have given me some good Paella ideas for my next trip to Tijuana.

Theres a place in Cali I used to go to that had a half way decent Paella, but ID tell the cook to throw in some xtra shrimp and langostinos. He'd charge me a little bit more. I like the bed of rice with some veggie stuff thrown in plus the clams, shrimp, and any other seafood they can come up with.

Here is a couple of pics of the chow at Lorca.

I'm looking for a Spanish restaurant in Tijuana. Specifically one that serves paella. One of my favorite dishes. I will be in Tijuana next month. Anybody know of one.

I went to Chiki Jai once, before they relocated across the street. The paella was horrible. If Banquet or Stouffer's offered a frozen paella, that would be it. Alicia is OK, better than Chiki but just average. In Villa Floresta, which is a couple miles past Siglo XXI on Blvd Agua Caliente, there is a paella cart, which is the best paella I've had in Tijuana. Cheap too. I've never been to Lorca though, been meaning to try it but never got the chance.

I'll second what Artsy said. Tijuana paella isn't all that good. Back when they had the paella festivals there were lots of places competing, but few restaurants have it on their menus. Chiki Jai has decent paella. TomJackin is right, Lorca's is better. Another place with decent paella is La Paella de Alicia, which specializes in, wait for it... Paella! It's kind of out of the way. It's over towards Galeria Hipodromo. The address is Ave. Las Ferias, Lomas 12713, Hipodromo Dos, 22195. They have like a 4. 5 star rating on Yelp. I've had paella at all three and theirs gives Lorca a run for their money. It's a very small place and does a LOT of takeout.

I will add on my favorite; Lorca. To me, it's the best paella in Tijuana.

There are 3. The one I highly recommend is around the corner from Soriana on Sanchez Taboada. On the little side street in back. It is jam packed for lunch so be advised. Don't know if it is open these days.

Chiki Jai on 7th between Revo and Cons is also recommended.

IMO pallea is never good in Tijuana. It costs too much money to do it right. Sometimes you get good shrimp on it and one clam or different variations of "just passing" but I have never had a fabulous paella in Tijuana even during the festivals they used to have on Revolucion. Paella is for ocean living IMO not Tijuana.

Azul food was never particular good, even pre-pandemic. So many better options for quality food in Tijuana. Proximity to HK club is the only reason for eating at Azul.

I wish all the guys could of experienced the old Azul 5 years ago. It was just downstairs I believe. You walk in, sit at a booth, and almost always HK chicks in robes come sit next to you. Some were friendly. Now you are eating with beautiful woman in robes and not paying them. Sometimes you get phone numbers.
