Can someone suggest a place to get cheap Marlboro Reds.

And what does it cost?

Thanks.

I don't smoke but someone asked me to pick her up a carton of her favorite Capri Menthol cigarettes. I checked at 7/11 and XOXO but nothing. Anyone recommend a place in Tijuana to buy these?

See the man with his cart on Revolution on the corner where the Burger King is.

Do anyone know where you can find Havana Club Rum in Tijuana? I'm running low and I not leaving the country by air for a few months so I won't be able to hit a duty free shop till spring.

Tuesday night it was rainy and cold. Was trying to eat shrimp and fish tacos at the Playboy corner, but it was closed. So went over to a new place in the alley.

An American guy, named DJ, recently opened Mi Casita, an American fast-food place in the alley, next to XOXO, across from hotel El Porton. The place is new, clean, tastefully decorated in Western theme.

He serves basic American fast-food, everything is home-made on order, pizza, hamburger, tacos, chicken rice dishes ect. Between $2 to $5. His nachos was surprising fresh and tasty with freshly fried chips and grilled beef with lots of cheese. A nacho with 2 small chicken soups costed 85 pesos or $4.70.

This place serves home-made American meals with view of the young, sexy chicas showing their big boobs and long sexy legs, worth a try.

Went to Pampa's and I was a bit disappointed. The meat was good, but not great. The other problem is that they only have to 2 or 3 waiters to bring the meat around so the service was slow.

Based on recommendations, I recently went to Mr Pampa's.

Not all taxi drivers know where the restaurant is. I had to show him google maps on my phone. Hailed a taxi at the Arch, cost $5. Taxi back to Hotel Cascadas $6 ; Buffet 225 peso & beer 40 peso; At 7:30 pm there was a line up right out the door. Best you make a reservation for a large party, but for a party of 2 or less, I just walked in and got seated immediately. Food was better than average, plentiful, and service was sufficient for my needs. Since I don't speak Spanish, I don't know what they were offering, just pointed to what I wanted. For comparison, food quality on par with Las Vegas buffet at Excalibur, Tropicana, and Luxor, but below Caesars and Mirage.

Thanks for the review but just to clarify the place is not in Zona Este. That would be eastern Tijuana. It's in Zona Centro ie central Tijuana.

My apologies. Google maps says zona este. But I defer to a veteran monger, considering my experience outside the ZN is almost nonexistent. Thanks for the clarification.

If you want good meat go to Fonda Argentina.

I came here for breakfast on Friday since it got good reviews on Yelp. I ordered the Omelettes del Patron, consisting of shrimp, mushrooms, and a bed of some sort of cheese slightly similar to queso fresco but with a bit more of a soft mozzarella texture. It was one of the pricier options on the menu at 135 pesos plus an additional 25 pesos for a pretty good coffee, bringing the total to 160 pesos. A small quesadilla preceded the entre, which was served with frijoles, a basic form of chilaquiles, and three tortillas.

La Casa de la Esquina is located in Zona Este and provides a pleasant ambience. Service was good, as was indicated on Yelp.

Unless there are two Tito's on Ocampo I think you got the cross street wrong. It's 6th street going towards 7th. The regular fish tacos are huge but it's because of all the breading. You can order them without it for a higher price which is what I will do it I go back.

So went to Titos' for dinner. ...
The large shrimp coctele in the pic costed 190 pesos, about $11.6 oysters costed 60 pesos. The fish and shrimp tacos are huge here, for 25 pesos.

Fonda Argentina close to El Gran Hotel on Blvd. Aguas Caliente.

I love it. The best I ever had is at Tio Pepe's. It's in a residecial area behind the ice place on the free road, Maybe a $5 cab ride. It's an institution in Tijuana.

They also have their own tequila in a cask that they fill bottles with. My neighbor drinks it and he hasn't fallen over dead yet so it must be OK.

If you get down to Rosarito go to El Nido's for a steak cooked over a mesquite fire. Baked potato over the fire and tortillas (harina) made by a moma-san while you watch (also over a fire.) People come in just of pick up a bag of tortillas. Cost about half of a good steak dinner in the US. They have quail eggs for breakfast.

Rarely go there the past year and often just to have a beer or 2 at the bar to get away from the loud music and chicas.

Was there today with an amigo (beer only) we were about to walk out as there was nobody at the bar save the bartender.

Then spotted a new cajera (cashier) said it was her 1st day on the job. Very pretty eyes, beautiful smile and welcoming friendly personality.

Told her I hoped she sticks around as so many cashiers can't stand the boredom in the daytime, plus they don't get tips usually which is a minus.

Also next to the cash register was a stack of new menus (at least to me) take home or to hotel for anyone staying over. 7 pages but each is tall and narrow. All in Spanish, color, nice paper. Will have to eat there again one day. Pleasant 30 min. Chatted with the cashier likely too much but she was bored and humored the gringo.

Where is best steak place in Tijuana. ? I tried El Sombrero awhile, back but the steak was tough. I am also looking for a place that serves lobster thermidor in Tijuana. There is a few places that serve it Puerto Nuevo. But it's a bit hassle go down there.

A few comic Con figures were hanging out at the taco stand on front of bar Malquerida. Just imagine yourself hanging out in the alley in those colorful, funny flowing robes, going to the hotel to fuck the brown honeys. Hehe.

That is a hotdog stand and the people dressed up work at the bar. Hehe.
