Posts: 2632I like the HK taco stand as well. But when I order tacos I always tell them not to fry the tortilla. These days I have been going to taco stand on the corner of Constucion & calle Coahuila st. I order the shrimp taco. I really like their shrimp tacos.

Didn't know about the new taco museum, thanks! Will make it a point to check that out when I'm in Tijuana next month and report back on it here. Commercialized ventures like that I think tend not to be as good as advertised but I guess we'll see.

I like the taco alley row across the Hotel Placio azteca, called Las Ahumaderas. There is a youtube video. Las Ahumaderas, Av. Guilermo Prieto 9770,22044 Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.
Also one can't get it wrong by visiting the taco place Asadero Tecolote across Mr Pampas address Blvd. Gral. Abelardo L. Rodríguez 10, Centro, 22014 Tijuana, be. See. , Mexico.

What kinds of tacos does this stand have? Want to try some tacos besides Asada, Adobe, etc.
They seem to have raised priced quite a bit like HK. What are the price ranges in Pesos?

AYCE Brazil grill for about $18, beers $2. New location near Hidalgo market, closer to La Zona Norte, is nice, clean, classy, quiet with excellent service, easy underground parking, unlike the old location. I just did not like the noisy 5-man mariachi band with big brass instruments. Prefer light violin or guitar music while dining.
Servers bring out grilled skewers of various meats and seafood constantly. Captains come by and ask what cuts you want so they can bring out, usually in about 5 minutes. Salad bar is very good, salads, fresh vegs, cheeses, carpaccios, soups. Desert station is small.
They did not have prime rib but rolled out a big BBQ rib slab on a cart, tasty, full of beefy flavors, succulent, melt in your mouth tender, the BBQ sauce has just the right balance sweet, tangy, spicy for my taste. Ask servers what cuts they are serving, or point to the cuts you want in the list below and ask them to bring out. They also bring out special items, not on skewer, that cost extra, like Cognacs, sweets, shrimp flambe, costed us 180 pesos extra. Ask them for cost before ordering.
To me Pampas' meats are much tastier, juicier and even cheaper than Churrascaria do Brasil (about $29).

If you were happy with the place and they have plenty of other customers that are happy is good but for the distance that most guys would have to travel I would bet that they would be disappointed.
Churrascaria is no where near the quality or price of Ruth Chris.

That being said I wouldn't call the quality poor. They oftentimes would have a line of people going out the door and and a 45 minute wait to get thru the line and to get a table. If the quality was poor I doubt they would have that many customers.
If course an expensive steak house like churrascaria un Mexico or Ruth Chris Steakhouse in the US will have better quality steaks but also have higher prices too.
If you want a decent place to eat as much as you can of decent quality food for about $12 to $15 usd then Sirloin Stockade fits the bill.

It's been a few years since I've been there so prices may have changed but I used to always get the 12 oz Ribeye steak and baked potato with salad bar / buffet for 288 pesos. The steak was decent but they tend to over cook it so order it down for example if you want well dine order it 3/4 and if you want it medium well order it medio, etc. Or just order it medio and you can't go wrong LOL. Make sure you say papa al horno If you want the baked potato otherwise they give you French fries which is a waste because you can get fries on the buffet next to the burgers. The baked potato comes hot and wrapped in foil with a slit at the top and filled with sour cream and bacon bits and cheese.
As for the buffet picture an Old Country Buffet or Hometown Buffet if you have ever been to one of those. I the middle they have an extensive salad bar with different types of romaine iceberg spinach and different lettuces with all the toppings you could think of, broccoli, garbanzo, baby corn, red onion cherry tomatoes, etc with like 8 different salad dressings. They also have coles slaw, raisin carrot salad, potato salad and fresh fruits and a ceviche and tostadas are.
Then they have like 3 different soups, I always enjoyed the frijoles carros. There's Also a taco bar with like 4 different kinds of meats to choose from and crispy taco shells or soft tortillas and shredded lettuce cheese sour cream onion and salsa etc. To the right side of the taco bar is the burgers and fries area and on certain days they have pork ribs there instead of the burgers (I think on Tuesdays and Thursdays).
Then on the main buffet bar they have American and Mexican Classics such as grilled chicken, lasagna, chilaquiles, Lomo de cerdo carved in front of you with gravy and mashed potatoes, corn on the COB, sometimes there was Buffalo wings and bbq wings there as well.
Over by the soups they also had an oriental section with Tijuana style sushi (by this I mean rice, cream cheese, imitation crab meat) rolls, fried rice, and several Chinese style dishes such as General Tsaos Chicken and broccoli beef.
And last but not least there is a desert buffet with ice cream and cookies and carrot cake, and choco flan, etc. And they make crepes at a little stand alone crepe stand too.
Excellent place to go stuff your belly for $15. I used to go there and eat until I couldn't eat anymore. Then I'd go across the street and walk around the swap meet to burn some of the calories.
If you like Sizzler or Hometown Buffet, you will love Sirloin Stockade.
