    I don't know if it was the fact that I had the drinking-munchies, or because I hadn't eaten anything substantial prior to coming here or because I genuinely love eating. Maybe all of the above? The burgers here are absolutely AMAZING. You have to come here if you get the chance. Shoot, it's enough of a reason to keep me coming to plaza fiesta! We came here because it's owned by the same people as Slow Burger (which I'm a fan of) and because it had a cool vibe to it. As soon as we sat down a waitress comes and takes our drink/food order and I kid you not, less than 10 minutes she comes back with the burger, fries and drinks. YAY! The burger was so good I wish I hadn't shared it. We ordered the Caleidoscopio, which had cheese portobello mushroom and the meat was 50/50 (bacon/meat). Next time, I'll eat the entire damn burger :) Note: If you have a low spice tolerance, watch out for the fries! They have quite a kick to them

    The bar.

    This is really nice place located at plaza del zapato. They have such good burgers and fries, the beer is also delicious competitive with high quality breweries. Definitely a must if you're exploring the crazy Tijuana!

    If you are around La Plaza del Zapato in Tijuana you have to stop by this place. The best burgers I have ever tasted,I ordered festival 16 and it's very delicious. They have a nice variety of craft beer.

    If you are ever around tj, i recomend this place, my way to described is hamburgers made whit LOVE, this is not your average burger joint, gourmet burgers is the right term, 100 beers to chose from, something for every taste, the mist expensive burger is @ 10.00 dlls, but trust me it is worth it, a gem!

    I was extremely disappointed with my visit to Sabor a Mí Restaurante in Tijuana. Despite the strong…read morerecommendation I received, this is simply not the place you want to choose for food.The only bright spot of the entire experience was the parking attendant, who was great and friendly upon arrival. Unfortunately, that positive impression vanished the minute we walked through the door. The host was rude and completely lacked control over the traffic walking in and out.Things only went downhill from there. Our waitress, Alaine, provided the worst service imaginable. Not once did she come over to offer refills or check in to see if we were okay. On top of that inattentive service, she managed to get our order completely wrong, forcing us to wait even longer. This was baffling, given that the restaurant was not even at capacity.When my breakfast combination rib eye finally arrived, the meat was entirely fat and clearly a poor cut. To make matters worse, my piña colada was served hot. Even after letting the staff know and asking if we could get some ice to chill it down, it still tasted awful and unappealing.It quickly became obvious that the staff was more interested in getting a slice of cake from another family hosting a party than actually doing their jobs or attending to customers. Save yourself the frustration and the bad experience, and definitely go elsewhere for your food.

    If you are looking for a different type of place for breakfast in Tijuana, you will discover the…read morename, Marenca. The Zona Rio location has a small dining area, that is very popular with both the locals and visitors. It is easy to see why. Their menu does not over dose on the standard morning and afternoon items that you would find anyplace. However, this is the first restaurant I've been to in Tijuana, that does not have an English menu.... so I had to labor through the Spanish menu. But, they do have unique dishes, thus making the visit adventurous, because it is difficult to choose. I went back and forth, and finally settled for their 3-egg omelet with asparagus and sheep cheese. It came with refried beans, strings of carrots and beets, small fired up tostadas and fresh tortillas (both blue and yellow corn). A small side of soggy chilaquiles was also served. A small flavorful salsa tray is also provided with 3 options, ranging from mild to hot. The asparagus spears were thin, cut up into small pieces and sautéed with mild spices. The outer egg covering soft and not overdone. If anything, there was too much sheep cheese, in certain portions of the omelet. I say this because it was an asparagus omelet, and it, instead of the cheese, should have been the star. Still, it did not take away from the other commendable aspects of the complete entree and its accompaniments. Before the meal, a small refreshing fruit plate is served. Coffee and overall service here, was mucho excellente.

I really hope that they bring back their full menu. Service is always amazing shadow to all the amazing employees. You guys truly make the experience of going to this restaurant, what it is.
