    If you have any plans to be in Tijuana and even if you don't, you must take a trip to try this place out. I highly recommend Carreta 22. It is by far the best food, we've had in TJ. The flavors are exquisite, every bite is an explosion of yumminess. The tortilla soup is definitely soup for the soul, it is like no other tortilla soups we've had. We also had the taco patron and the Pancho Villa Not to mention the salsas, very different and exotic. But not only is the food delicious, the service is fantastic, they are very attentive and the ambience is equally amazing! Definitely a place we look forward to coming back.

    Tortilla soup

    When in the area this is the place I enjoy their tasty food. One of my favorite is the soup. I don't have to be hungry to stop in. The soup is so satisfying. The decore of the place is artistic and beautiful. Never had an issue with the service. They always provided the best service during the visit.

    Caretta 22 (which means little wagon, of the type that historically delivered roasted meats and food) has lovely service, fresh, flavorful ingredients. The soup was large, hot and delicious. Our tacos were the best we have had! Our party was helped by Cesar, in excellent English, to explain and choices and make recommendations. The highlight of of our visit was when Adrian, the owner spent time chatting with us. A rare gem and lucky find!

    If you're looking for authentic tacos in Tijuana, this taco spot is an absolute must visit…read more The asada, pastor, and everything is packed with flavor. What really sets this place apart is the outstanding customer service, the staff is welcoming, attentive, and treats every customer really nicely. The atmosphere is lively & outdoorsy, the prices are great, and the entire experience feels genuinely local and memorable. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a regular, this taco stand delivers incredible food that will keep you coming back for more. It's cash only btw.

    This was our very first stop after crossing the border into Mexico, and it absolutely lived up to…read morethe hype. It came highly recommended by both locals and fellow food lovers, and after seeing the incredible reviews, we knew we had to experience it for ourselves. We ordered a little bit of everything: tacos de tripa, tacos al pastor, tacos de asada, and an asada quesadilla. Every single item was packed with flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. The tripas were perfectly crispy without being greasy, the al pastor was juicy, well-seasoned, and had that classic balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors, and the asada was tender with a delicious char-grilled flavor. The asada quesadilla was generously filled with meat and gooey melted cheese, making it the perfect complement to the tacos. One thing I really appreciated was how convenient the ordering process is. They have a drive-through style setup where you simply pull up and park in front of the restaurant. An employee comes directly to your car to take your order, and once your food is ready, they bring it right out to you. It's such an easy and efficient experience, especially if you're eager to grab amazing food and get back on the road. It's easy to see why this place has earned such a stellar reputation. Between the authentic flavors, generous portions, friendly service, and convenient setup, this was the perfect way to kick off our trip into Mexico. I'll definitely be making this a tradition every time I cross the border.
