    For those of you that expand their horizon and visit Mexico. You must try these delicious empanadas!! They are like a big wonton. They are made to order and you can see the owner making them right there and using fresh ingredients. They are so fluffy, crispy out the outside and light in the inside. I absolutely love the Hawaiian one! It has mozzarella cheese, fresh pineapple, and ham. They accompany them with a chipotle sauce and it just ties the entire dish together! Bam huge explosion in my mouth! Their apple pie empanada tastes just like a McDonald's apple pie but better! It's delicious. They have a combo, where you get 2 empanadas of your choice, along with a side of delicious, fresh salad and a side of freshly made mint lemonade. These empanadas are crack! You can't just have one. After that first bite, you'll keep wanting more.

    Walk all the way down to get to the low key spot!

    The illest food court I've ever been to. It's located on Revolution avenue. You gotta go down a narrow hallway to get to the food court. When I visited they had a sushi/ramen joint, a burger spot, empanadas, a beer spot & I can't remember the rest. A total of 9 businesses though, hence the name. You order at their counter and they'll bring the food to you. The beer spot has their own indoor seating if it's cold out and you don't want to freeze in the patio. Definitely a hangout spot to munch, drink & kick it. Your Homegirl, Violy

    The Cochi Burger from Indie burgers along with the garlic fries. The pizza is great, try the pepperoni sausage! The empanadas try the Argentinian, the classic and the marlin ones. For beer try the Rice IPA on draft by Wendlandt. The Insurgente craft beers are a must my favorite is the Hops & Chill

    Ummmm where am I? Because Colectivo9 belongs in the center of any city and sticks out like a (pretty) sore thumb in TJ. It's a plaza with several modern looking mini-shops that face in to a very mod courtyard with spots for you to sit and partake of whatever you desire. There are artisanal empanadas. There's a cool little bar with craft beer and wine. There's greek food There's wifi There's a little shopping area There is a sushi station There are delicate macarons There are beautiful burgers It's a super cool little oasis with a choose-your-own-adventure feel. If you're looking for a spot to duck into and enjoy the beautiful weather and some bites, this is it.

    You guys have to check it this place if you're a foodie or if you like cool chill spots to have a crepe and frappe, or some sushi with a side of fried rice , seriously you have to try a cajeta frappe it's one of Mexico's favorite caramel, bring cash of course if you want some shrimp pasta the best I've ever had in Mexico, so far lol they have bathrooms as well, 5 pesos if you're not eating there. If you want to find a new fit there are cool shops next door that sell insta fashion, I'll attach some pics I took!

    When a friend told me that there was a really cool place in one of the alley on Revolucion, I honesty did not believe her. But one day before going to the bars at Callejon de la Sexta we stop for something to eat. Basically the idea is kind of a mix of food court/truck idea. They have a nice selection of food, by now I've had the burgers (Indie Burger), the Japanese rice bowl (Tatami), the empanadas Argentinian style (1987 Empanadas), and of course many of their beers (Barrica 9). Yes it has a mini beer bar, with a good selection of Mexican craft beers (some are local). If I am in the area it is one of my favorite spot to eat.

    Ramen and dark craft beer

    This is the food court at Avenida Revolucion with 9 restaurants with different styles of dishes. Next to it is a pub with craft beer, you can bring beer to your meal. I ordered Ramen and dark craft beer. I like wooden tables there. There is also a restroom in this place. Worth visiting. The price of a meal with craft beer is not more than the US $ 10.

    Ramen and miso at tatami, awesome. The indie burger (from indie burgers, where else) is very good and great value with wedge potatoes and a soda. Pick up a double IPA from Barrica 9 to round it off. Great place, right in the middle of the revolucion ave, watch for the black alley like entrance.

    Solo good!

    A great place for lunch or dinner, or even some drinks. Its fun and energetic, and the food itself served by the restaurants is very enjoyable. My only recommendation is to open for service at 11:00 am not 1:00 pm.

    @Yelp Tijuana Launch Party!This was when the chefs of each restaurant brought us amazing samples off their delicious menus :D

    Amazing hidden gem in the heart of Tijuana! What an exquisite menu each restaurant offers. True chefs cooking art for you. I attended the Yelp Tijuana Launch Party here and it was a great success! Big turnout, great people, amazing food, and awesome venue. Thanks Yelp and Colectivo 9! Can't wait to go back :)

    Wow this place is awesome. I heard about this place through the TJ Yelp Launch Party. For those who don't know, Colectivo 9 is a hidden gem off Revolution Avenue which has a variety of cuisines in a circle with seating in the middle. The place is very aesthetic and very clean. I went to get a burger at Indie Burger but they said they were sold out so I settled for a beer at Barrica. I had a 20 ounce beer on-tap and it was delicious. Basically I came on a Sunday evening to relax and try out a different spot and left pretty impressed. I am planning on organizing a meetup expedition to Colectivo 9 in a few weeks. Disfruta!

    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

    Best food I had ever! Service was amazing, great vibes and food. 10/10 recommend. I would love to…read moreeat here again

    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!!
