    Huevos rancheros!
    Diana G.

    I recommend that you visit this place when visiting Tijuana! I had the Huevos rancheros plate and it was delicious! Just like I ordered my eggs! The place is spacious, clean, nice and relaxing! Service is prompt, great, and amicable! My huevos rancheros were perfect in spice and seasoning! Definitely visiting this place again! Loved it!

    Asado Mazateleco, Enchiladas Suiza

    Came here during brunch and the place wasn't as busy. The decorations, plates, and cups because can be described as bright and vibrant. Service was good since we were sat right away, but it did take a quite some time to receive everything once we ordered. When everything arrived it looked amazing. I do have some critiques. Fat content on the asada was a little too much to my liking and there was a piece that came out bright red that I had to separate. Besides that everything else came out delicious.

    Definitely coming back and will recommend to family and friends. I ordered a Rajas Quezadilla and my companion a Caldo Tlalpeño, we were both instantly delighted with the flavor and freshness of our meal, definitely worth the wait it takes to prepare. A definite must when in Tijuana. Gracias Chef and Staff! Mucho muy rico y fresco

    Cafe de olla con tortillas de harina y mantequilla
    Emi R.

    The servers are very attentive & friendly. Arrived around 9am on a Saturday and it wasn't very busy but all tables were full by 10am. The menu wasn't very big but the dishes we got didn't disappoint. Ordered Chilaquiles de chipotle, cafe de olla & pan frances con fresas. All of the food was 5/5 stars - flavors were spot on & the cafe the olla was perfect.

    The place is cute and the staff is super friendly. Dishes are affordable. The food was pretty good and decent in size. You can tell they make everything from scratch. Only con was the wait time for the dishes, and the parking situation. Overall really good experience, and would come back.

    Was expecting a great costumer service experience and amazing food. Left with none of the two. First, when I asked what water flavors they had, the server told me cebada, pepino and piña. I ordered piña. He came back telling me they didn't have it anymore. Ok, happens all the time. Second, once he was taking our order I asked for the quesadilla de rajas. He also left and came back only to tell me there was no more rajas. Ok, strike 2. Finally, after more than 40 minutes our food FINALLY arrived. My tortillas from my tacos were cold. How could you eat a cold tortilla taco? After all it doesn't take that long to make a Jamaica and chicharron taco. I asked the server for warm tortillas and he did bring them to me (thus the 2 stars). The food was just ok. Not amazing. The wait was ridiculous given that the place was empty!! Only another table and us. Would not recommend this place or go here again.

    Parrilada & aguas
    Chrystal S.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in TJ. The music and ambiance is chill and their arracherra is soooooo tender. They make fresh aguas which are so bomb! Can't say enough great things about this place.

    Enchiladas suizas

    Went here looking for some fast and delicious authentic Mexican food an that's exactly what I found. The service was excellent and the food came out in a timely matter. It was so delicious and really affordable. I highly recommend!!

    Chocomilk, mole chilaquiles, huevos  con chorizo!
    Ignacio P.

    Great breakfast place close to Av Revolución. The chilaquiles are amazing and so was the service. All the waiters really go out of their way to make sure you're happy. The cafe de olla was delicious as was the chocomilk. And don't get me Started on the amazing taco de chicharon! Will definitely be back next time I'm in TJ.

    Taco de "papa"

    I wanted to try some authentic Mexican food and i figured this spot looked good. We have our usual spots but wanted to try something new, BAD IDEA! The male server sat a table full of girls after us and gave them their menus first, took their order first, and brought there food first. They took forever to take our order, and even longer to bring us our food. I expected the same treatment but i guess he wasn't thinking with his head..... I figured, okay there's only one cook. We ordered very basic food, not complicated. I don't mind waiting, but don't take an hour to serve me French fry's in a taco and try to pass it off as tacos de papa. I love the food in tj, this place was a no. The street vendors have better food than this place. Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere

    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!

    I was really excited to try this place because of its 4.4-star rating, but unfortunately, it didn't…read morelive up to my expectations. The café de olla was extremely sweet. I asked for a second cup, hoping it would be different, but it was just as sweet. The jamaica had very little flavor, and the mole chilaquiles were bland and lacked the rich flavor I was expecting. The only highlight of our visit was the waitress. She was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. Sadly, the food was very disappointing, and I don't see myself coming back.
