    A mess!
    Marilyn R.

    The worst bbq ribs we've ever had!! We wanted to try a new place and we were craving BBQ so we saw that this place had good reviews. We ordered 2 of their Baby back Pork Ribs with Jack Daniels and it came with fries, corn on the cob and bread, when we opened the foil container it looked like a disaster the fries were mixed with bbq sauce, and soggy, and the sauce was not Jack Daniel's. Horrible presentation. Then we started eating the ribs and the meat was tough and worst of all it was raw!! So disgusting! Take a look at the pictures see for yourself... There are way better other places in Tijuana. All because we wanted to try something new we're praying we don't get sick for eating raw pork!

    No mask, no entry Temperatures are checked upon arrival We were a party of 6 people and didn't even wait to be seated. However there was a wait for orders to-go. Once we ordered we got our food quickly; everything was delicious, finger-licking good

    Chicken strips with BBQ sauce and bread ..also fries..perfect for teens or kids

    Excellent please...literally what you can expect from a BBQ joint... super nice..the servers DAMNN super nice very happy place. Let's talk about the food, well the portions as expected HUMONGOUS!! the bread and the corn well I can assure you it's enough for you your family cat and dog..and lunch for the next day. My husband had the full rack of bbq beef ribs for 300 and something pesos..the equivalent to 16 Us dollars given or take..it comes with 2 corn pieces and 2 pieces of bread ohhh and a huge bed if fries...this is for 2 people but I have a big husband so... The kid had chicken strips with bbq sauce and same ..fries and bread. Me...a delicious carne asada fries with nacho cheese...WOW!! BREAD INCLUDED! did I mention the bread was amazing hahaha!! They have a cucumber lime and chia water so refreshing.. Cool place..family friendly, big parties too. If you dont like to wait you can call in advance some sort of reservation or take out. Enjoy the pictures!!!

    Craft beer was a no-no for me.

    Was up all night finding places to eat with the family a day before heading to TJ. It had been a while since I last had some good ribs. Read a couple of reviews and decided to taste them. After watching a movie with the kids, we headed to this place. We were all hungry and decided to get some ribs, turkey leg, and pollo fries. My kids ordered a chia-cucumber-lemon agua fresca and I ordered a craft beer from the region. My wife's pollo fries were good, maybe lacked a tiny bit of flavor, but over all edible Next was the turkey leg. Now that was veryyy good. Too bad we only ordered one and my girls ate most of it. Next were the ribs. Honestly the presentation wasn't the best. Maybe I got a small rack but honestly i wasn't impressed. They were tender but I was not a fan of the bbq sauce. To me it tasted a lot like Carolina BBQ ribs I tasted more vinegar than I did sweetness. It tasted a lot like tomato paste. But enjoyed them anyway. The chia lemon cucumber agua fresca was very good and served in a generous cup. I did not enjoy the craft beer at all. It tasted like a watered-down version of Big Kahuna beer. Overall a pretty good way to end a hectic day. One thing is for sure, I will probably be back for the turkey leg and agua fresca.

    Barbque flavored chicken wing with Fries.

    This review is in Spanish so I you don't know Spanish, translate it your self. Okay, okay! Hay muchas cosas de decir de este lugar! Vamos a decir Que hay una pelota enfrente de ti, esa pelota es mi opinion en algun restaurante, vamos a decir Que ecojes unos tacos de la esquina. La pelota va a estar un tamaño mediano. Y luego escojes este restaurante. La pelota va a estar Al tamaño de sol. Las amburguesas estan baratas, ricas, y a buen precio por tener las amburgueseas y elote y las papas fritas. Las alitas estan mas ò menos porque estan chiquitas pero el sabor esta bueno, las costillas estan buenas, los burritos estan como un burrito normal nomas un poquito mas grande de lo normal, ciabatta de arracherra esta sabrosa. Este lugar es muy bueno. si estas en el centro de tijuana, ven aqui. te lo recomiendo!

    Most of the meat was sold out. What they did have was not that great. People raved about this place only to be disappointed

    My burger was way over cooked and the fries were undercooked, which is a bad combination. Nice selection of craft beers.

    What a surprise! I happened to be in the area and I knew I had to try this restaurant out…read more I saw this restaurant on instagram. And it's a little bit of a drive from where I live. But today I happen to be in the area and I told my husband to try this place out. He was so happy! Once you place your order our waitress came with a big plate of sweet bread and you get to pick one! I picked the concha and my husband got the pineapple empanada! We ordered a bit of everything. My husbands go to meal always is chilaquiles. So he ordered the DIVORCIADOS $16.50 Half green and half red with carne asada and beans. We also got the CARNE EN SU JUGO $15.99 And I got the MENUDO ROJO $15.50 Let me start off by saying everything was amazing! It all tasted like it was homemade! Perfectly seasoned, with hand made tortillas. The carne en su jugo was really good! I understand why they are known for that dish. I loved my Menudo! I was craving it and it was perfect. The chilaquiles, the chips weren't soggy, they still had a bite to them. The sauces had so much flavor! My husband and I left with full bellies and a big smile on our faces! All the waitresses and waiters were so nice! Diego was telling us the story of the restaurant. Which was nice to hear. All family owned. Hopefully they open another restaurant closer to us!!! Fingers crossed! I will definitely come back to this restaurant and recommend it to all my family and friends!

    Food I've tried, Taquitos,salsa, chillaquilles,Menudo,beans…read more,milanesa,tortillas hechas a mano! When my sister and I cross the border to go home, this is our go to place. Somebody in that kitchen Cares about what they're making for Me & You, and I can taste it ,in every bite of food. The lettuce , tomatoe, and all veggies are always fresh and super clean as is the restaurant. We met Diego today, he is the owners son,very respectful, courteous and attentive as were the waitresses. I highly recommend you come and try. Muchas Gracias El Rincon

    OMG!!! I was told this was the best place to have birria tacos but thought how much better can they…read morebe, right? It's worth the 40 minute drive to have these tacos. They open at 6 am and close at 2 pm Wed to Sunday Im told the line is typically long especially early am. I get the fried shell versus the soft shell queso birria tacos and you need to specify when ordering. The amount of meat makes you feel like I'm totally getting my protein in this meal. The consommé they give you to dip the tacos in is soooo good. Make sure you order this as it does not come with the tacos automatically. The first bite you can't help but roll your eyes back and let out some sort of sound as you just took the best bite of something that was out of this world. I always get some to go so I can have the next day. They run out of their fresh juices early so if you want to have any of those I'd get there early. They have inside searing and two patios to sit. Staff has always been amazing and so willing to help you with anything. They seem to love to work there and willing to go out their way to help you or make you feel you're feeling welcome. There was a family eating lunch of about 20?while we were there. You MUST try this place!!
