    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!

    He visitado Barrikas, Slowburger, Beverly Burgers, Indie Burgers, Mark Burgers, Nantli Burger,…read moreBurger Jack, Hulk's Y Truck 91. Esta son mis preferidas. (pueden revisar mi perfil para leer las demas) En estados unidos no es comun el concepto de un restaurante con un menú limitado, y si In-And-Out es exitoso, es por que se enfocan en hacer una sola cosa bien. Y te puedo decir que prefiero Yo Mommaz Burgers a In-And-Out. Las papas de In-And-Out tiene una textura de cartón y la carne aunque esta simple en sazón, algo le falta. Y aunque son mis favoritas, nunca he visitado este lugar (siempre pido por Uber Eats). El Menú es aun mas simple que In-And-Out. Las Hamburguesas son riquísimas, todo fresco, la carne jugosa, el pan simple sin quitarle la atención a los demás, con su salsa secreta y pepinillos bien balanceado. Creo que el dueño hace algunos años creo un post en reddit tijuana donde invitaba a su establecimiento y el decia que llegó a trabajar en In-And-Out, y mis respeto que le quedan mejor que en la franquicia. Las papas estan en su punto. Las papas regulares son crujientes y nada aceitosa. Las que son estilo la casa son picante y con queso, tiene un picante-dulce muy inusual pero son deliciosas. Nunca he probado las de cilantro, ni las malteadas. No conozco el lugar físicamente y no puedo hacer recomendaciones. Pero si asi estan para llevar, no me imagino lo buenas que deben de estar recién hechas en el restaurante. Las recomiendo muchísimo. EDIT 6/19/2020: Las papas fritas con cilantro las recomiendo mucho! Aprecio que tengan bebidas que no sean solo de la marca Coca-cola. He pedido unas 6 veces de aquí y nunca me ha tocado una mala hamburguesa.

    Use google not yelp. Yelp will take you to far away. Its located near centro. Here is the Google…read moremap https://maps.app.goo.gl/jiwW1xqhzsGznoKH7 Its across a school. Enjoy Hours M-F 12pm -8pm Sat 12pm -6:30pm

    Average Steak ... the place is beautiful no doubt, we were the only customers in a Saturday night…read morewhich is odd for a restaurant if you think about it. It supposed to be a "grilled yourself "type of deal but the give us the menu took our order and ok ...if I didn't ask that I could go to the grill it would've been a regular steak restaurant. Other thing was the steak itselves..t-bone??? .." t-none " was more like it..a super thin t-bone for 550 pesos...an arrachera for 300 and something...the mashed potatoes where good until the veggies ..even I could tell those are the frozen one you know the ones with curly cuts?? Well overall is a good place but a one time only for me and my husband.

    I need to mix things up a bit when I head into my favorite neighborhood of San Diego, also known…read moreas, Tijuana. While most places, and rightfully so, serve Mexican food in Tijuana, I'm often on the hunt for something else. In the case of Tu Parrilla I was taking a group of 12 guys for a spin around TJ and to kick the day off we wanted to watch the fight. Tu Parrilla came up in my research and they were very happy to host our group! Fire up the grill, get the burgers ready, throw on some hot dogs, and drop a couple plates of chicken wings on us and we'll be just fine. This was exactly the case and I personally love the cook-it-yourself feature like we find here in San Diego at Turf Club. Oh, yes, they also have steaks on the menu (that you'll have to cook) and someone need to get the guts to cook one or two of those monster tomahawk ribeyes! Aside from the descent food Tu Parrilla also can take pride in having a great/attentive staff and clean bathrooms. This is something you don't take for granted when south of the border, friends.
