Food in Tijuana

[Captain Solo]

Slicknaz.

We are going Sunday afternoon for dinner, after church, lengthy confessions, hang out in clubs, suck down beers, cruise streets, pop a few girls ect. , get ready for a big feast.

If you are around Sunday afternoon, you are welcomed to join us for a seriously delicious feast of grilled meats and seafood.

I planned on trying to make it down tomorrow, any chance you will be in the area tomorrow? For me to try and get there today would be a bit tough.

Wow, How did I not know about this place 4 min from my Doctor? Might have to try it out next weekend.

To escape So Cal's CoVid boredom, we are going down to Tijuana for dinner at Churrascaria do Brasil.

A few cheap guys may have entertained the idea of a sex change to cash in on women's discounts at bars, clubs, restaurants.

Like a bar & grill with free admission or discounted drinks for women on ladies night?

Ladies night is already problematic for a lot of places -- even illegal in some states. But I'm talking about an actual menu item in a restaurant with two different prices listed. I've never seen that in the US. I'd love to see a Jack Sprat-type couple go in, where a scrawny guy had to pay more while his wife ate an entire water buffalo worth of meat. Maybe they should charge customers by the pound?

Can you imagine the uproar if a restaurant in the US tried to charge more for men than for women?

Can you imagine the uproar if a restaurant in the US tried to charge more for men than for women? I remember when a catering company got in trouble because they had two different options for events: $10 per person for regular meals or $12 per person for larger portions. They recommended the larger portions for groups with a lot of men, and some people took that to mean they were charging men more. They got so much hate and bad press they had to shut down.

I like both Churascaria Do and Mr. Pampas but I'll wait a while before I go back. Be aware that they now both have salad bar attendants. The bar is now roped off and you must stand at a distance and wait for the attendant to come by. You then walk around the bar and tell the attendant which items you wish for him to put on your plate. It's a PIA now. Meat is still good though, better at Churascaria in Hipodromo.

They are open at both locations. Their facebook says 255-peso VIP special ($12) is available Mon to Thur 6 PM until midnight, only at the Hippodromo location about 2 miles further South on Aquacaliente. The Zona Rio location has outdoor seatings, not sure if it has the VIP special, but full price is only 345 pesos or $15 noon to midnight, so you can have long lunch here.

Their grilled meats are tender, juicy, tasty, full of beef aroma, delicious, better than the places I was in Sao Paulo. The salad bar is excellent fresh vegetables, pastas and different kinds of cheese. We can have AYCE dinner for $12, washing down with cold beers, in between chasing hot girls in La Zona. Any bros want to go, let me know.

Wed afternoon restaurants in the trinket alley next to hotel Nelson were all closed. I walked South on Ninos Heroes.

A small restaurant on Ninos serves a delicious Caldo de Rez, soup made with beef ribs and vegetable, but only for breakfast and lunch, not after 1 PM, damn.

At the Cathedral plaza, El Choforo was open. They have ropes across the doors but have dine in. You have to stop, have your temp read and clean your hands with sanitizer before entering. Tables are spaced out, only 6 left, and very few diners.

The seafood here is fresh and tasty, way better than La Perla. Prices are even lower than food stands, combo of 2 shrimp tacos plus a soda for 50 pesos, combo of a large mariscos quesadilla, a cup of consome and a soda, only 55 pesos, shrimp cocteles 50 to 100 pesos, plus other dishes. Their food is fresh, not frozen Costco's. This place is one of my favorites for seafood. I usually buy a few beers from the tienda across the street to drink with their food.

Even small restaurants in Tijuana are well equipped with skin thermometers and hand sanitizers. Tijuana's businesses appear more serious and better equipped to contain the spreading of CoVid-19 compared to Caifornia's.

Yikes! Yelp says 60% of restaurant Covid-19 closures are permanent.

By Jay Croft, CNN Updated 2:26 PM ET, Sat July 25,2020.

(CNN) A new national survey spells more bad news for the restaurant industry.

Sixty percent of restaurants that shut down during the pandemic are now closed for good, says the report from Yelp, the online service that provides crowd-sourced reviews.

"The restaurant industry now reflects the highest total business closures, recently surpassing retail," Yelp says.

Many have tried to adapt with online ordering, curbside pickup and home delivery.

As of July 10, Yelp found 26,160 total restaurant closures, an increase of 2,179 since June 15.

Of all the closed restaurants in July, 15,770 have permanently closed (60% accounting for 2,956 more permanent closures, Yelp says. That's a 23% increase since June 15.

Emily Catalon runs GoodFoodPittsburgh.com and has been following opening and closing trends there.

"It is on the brink of devastation, honestly," she told affiliate KDKA.

But the restaurant business is notoriously difficult in ordinary times, too -- with high competition and low profit margins, says Caleb Spivak, whose What Now Media Group covers retail and restaurants via WhatNowAtlanta.com and WhatNowLosAngeles.com.

"It's still too early to say for some of them why they permanently closed," Spivak told CNN. "A lot of these restaurants were already struggling. "

Hopefully a new stream of Take Out only places will fill the void. I see many take out places in my area in North County still doing good business.
