    Outside patio is dog friendly

    The food is amazing. Hand-made tortillas and generous portions. You feel like you're in your Abuelitas patio with the plants all around you. Very nice ambiance. The service is amazing. A plus for us is the dog friendly patio. We are definitely coming back. Martha took great care of us. We highly recommend this place for home cooked meals.

    Coming from Virginia, where there isn't much good Mexican food, I couldn't resist trying a Tijuana restaurant. The results were good, overall. I had a Wednesday breakfast special with three cheese enchiladas in mole sauce, a scrambled egg, breakfast potatoes, rice, beans, and a side-order pancake. The enchiladas were good, although the sauce was a tad sweet. The pancake was delicious. The beans were better than average, and the rest was all good. Price was reasonable. Service was pleasant, although English is problematic. Food was cooked promptly. Complimentary chips were nothing special, and the salsa was a bit too hot for my taste.

    When we arrived we were greeted and our temperature was taken. We were told we could sit wherever we'd like. Once seated a sever went to our table greeted us and took us a basket with sweet bread. I ordered a hot chocolate (chocolate abuelita) and my husband had a cafe de oya. It smelled and tasted amazing. Our breakfast arrived shortly it was fresh and flavorful. The food is absolutely delicious. They also have hand made tortillas. Service was attentive and friendly. I will be coming back to try more dishes.

    This place is awesome . I really don't have anything bad to say so far about this place and the food. Last week I got Parrilla finca which it had Carne de puerco, chuleta de res, chorizo, and trips (it was really crispy). Today Had the pollo con mole and it was super tasty and chicken was very soft. I defetealy recommend this place and it's a must try kind of restaurant.

    Authentic Mexican food, with very delicious seasoning. Steak, tamales, Chicken Soup. Management is awesome, staff it's "ok". I would like to give a five star, but in my opinion the wait time is a bit long. Just expect to go on an occasion when you are not rushing to head out.

    We stayed for a month next door to this hidden gem in Zona Urbana Rio and by far the best Mexican food i've had. We tried so many other places in Tijuana and nothing comes remotely close to Fonda La Finca's authenticity. First things first: Wifi - fonda la finca Password - Buenprovecho1 Service here is Excellent. They pay attention to their patrons and go the extra mile to make sure your tummy is happy by the time you leave. Chips and condiment tray are served as soon as you are seated and the salsa is damn good with a fantastic kick to it. We had several meals here and loved everything we ordered. Herez what swept me off my feet: They Had me at Champurrado - Stopped by several times just for this winter goodness which they serve in earthen mugs. Hot Chocolate - this yummy godliness served in earthen mug with cinnamon sticks is the Best hot chocolate I've Ever had. I'm NOT exaggerating because being a hot-chocolate-junkie, I know a good hot chocolate when I see it and this is nothing like I've ever had before. Rib Eye Steak - yet another favorite I had Twice, SEVEN US dollars for a melt-in-the-mouth piece of steak. Its a crime to leave Tijuana without eating this one here. Red Tamales - These are only served during winter and do not miss this one. Red Rice: O.M.G!! This is by far the BESTEST of the Best rice I've had. Fluffy with perfect seasoning and you can actually see veggies in it. A+ Next time I cross the border, Fonda La Finca is gonna be my first stop. Check it out for yourself!

I had someone call from our hotel and we got right in and there was a line outside. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is all great. Their breakfast goes from American eggs and bacon with the best potatoes to wonderful burrito type breakfast items. Their menudo is great and they have great Mexican meats as well. Lunch and dinner is about the same. They make Mexican style fish and steak that is just perfect every time. All of their Mexican dishes are just wonderful. You can't go wrong. They even have bottled water--never drink the water there, just don't. They have the best rice and beans. The service is great. They make you feel right at home and even if you don't speak Spanish, most speak English and you will figure it out because they will help you. The prices are fair for what you get. At dinner I consider it fine dining. It is all good and you will be happy. The place is also clean and super comfortable.

It has an old spanish mission look on the outside and walking in, you can immediately recognize that it is an impressive and popular place. The decor here is something to write home about. Beautiful wall fixtures, and well crafted local pottery and other artifacts, all around, everywhere. There is ample seating, that is well spaced out. Perfectly pitched Mexican music permeates the atmosphere. There is attentive staff that is so courteous, and welcoming. I wanted to eat lite, and I wanted to eat Mexican, so I chose the Yucatán Tamales. It comes as one pork and one chicken, both slim, wide rectangles, each baked in a banana leaf. They both had their subtle and distinct flavors. Comes with refried beans. The complementary salsas, the rojo and verde, were fresh and tasty. Service was outstanding. Another memorable restaurant in Tijuana, that needs to be filed into the "excellent" and "must go" folders.

Definitely a must stop on our visits to Tijuana :) TIP: check their hours before you go so you know exactly what time breakfast ends and dinner starts.

They have their own designated parking, which is nice, as sometimes parking may be an issue in town. The parking attendant welcomes you and lets you know where to park. You are immediately greeted when you walk in. I typically visit for a late lunch. The restaurant has a cozy feel. The staff are attentive and friendly. The presentation of the food is nice and it tastes good. Some of the dishes that I have tried are: Tarahumara (portobello omelet), Xitomatl (entomatadas), Huichol (chilaquiles con cecina), Mulli (mole Oaxaqueño), Teotihuacán (chilaquiles con chorizo y huevo), and Coyoltzin (puntas de filete). My favorite has been the Coyoltzin because the meat is tender and juicy. I also love that they bring salsas to the table. I like the chiles with oil and vinegar that they make. Overall, a great place to have breakfast or lunch with friends and family.
