Food in Tijuana

[LuvMexicanas]

Luvmex.

That fish looks delicious. Have to try it.

The boys probably has a bigger menu than La Perla.

Cheapest place I found that offer fried whole fish for 100 p.

Its located about 20 paces east of McDonalds on the south side of the street.

Thanks. I'll put it on my list. My typical trip to Tijuana is usually just two days one night and there too many good places to eat and never enough time.

A very popular place in Tijuana from opening to closing full of people. I was on Wednesday around 9 PM. If you are the first time it can be confusing where to order tacos, what types etc. There are no signs like e. g. Tacos El Gordo in Chula Vista at Broadway where all types of tacos and prices are clearly shown. I ordered 2 tacos carne asada, great taste and very tender meat. Price $ 3 - My Mexican chica accompanying me laughed like crazy because I used a fork and in Mexico, Mexicans only eat tacos with their hands. Now I know it! There is no parking and a bit far from Av. Revolucion but I recommend it because the tacos are great.

"The Boys" I know where this restaurant is on the plaza Santa Cecilia near the Nelson hotel. I guess across the street this club "Hawaii" and others clubs are for gays, I also noticed guys dressed as women, looks like a gay district. BTW on the plaza Santa Cecilia on Saturdays around 6 -7 PM is a free Cumbia music concert.

I like el museo in front of the arch. It does close early maybe 9 p. But the bar is positioned to watch big screen tv sports, and street, and the beer and food is cheap for revolution prices which is more than the side streets. It also has photos of Tijuana from last 70 years to look at.

That's a very good deal for tourist area.

There are only 10 or so sea food restaurants in that trinket alley between hotel Nelson and the McDonalds. So what's its name or approx location?

Titos Mariscos on O'Campo and Calle Sexta charges 80 pesos for a whole fried fish, don't know what species, may be a sea bass, with rice, salad and broth, a whole meal. Good deal huh? Look at that menu. But it's far from La Zona.

Not Tilapia. The fish they show in front of the joint were scale-less salt water fish.

I looked up the picture and found a species of white snapper, which as a rock fish, has few bones, sweet meat with chewy texture.

I was at Caesars on Sunday for a bowl of their tortilla soup which hit the spot as it was rainy and a bit cold that day.

Another thing I love about Caesars is when you go to the rest room they have these great vintage photo's on the walls to check out. Gives a great perspective of what it was like in the hay-day's.

Goyo.

I'm not the OP, but I've eaten there. Never had a bad meal, although it is a bit pricey for Tijuana. You pay a premium for the name and location (and the ambiance is admittedly very nice).

The salad is of course the reason anyone knows about the place. If you get the side salad they just bring it out, but if you get the full salad they make it at your table. It is enough to share.

Their carpaccio is great as is the shrimp appetizer. I love bone marrow, but theirs is way overpriced. Still a treat though.

Steaks are always a good choice there. The peppered ribeye is good, but I prefer the steak a la Victor. Chateaubriand is very tender, but not much flavor (too lean!). Go with a sauced steak if you can. Lamb chops were good, too. My buddy swears by the Beef Wellington, but I avoid carbs so haven't tried it. Others have told me the pasta is very good, and I wish I had a chance to try the duck tortellini before I gave it up.

I just returned from a quick trip to the border Tuesday. My buddy and I got caesers when we first got there and caesers the next day before we left, food and drinks are amazing there.

Hey,

What do you recommend?

On Wednesday around 7 PM after sex in Hong Kong I went to this famous Caesar's restaurant on Avenida Revolucion. I ordered at the bar Caesar's salad, french onion soup and Corona beer. The food was excellent, my bill was $ 15. Weekday afternoon or evening is good for a visit to this restaurant because it is always full on weekends. I will definitely go back to this restaurant again.
