    La Cabana del Artista exists in a rarefied world of its own. As I make my way to the restaurant, I motor along sleepy Calle Venustiano Carranza, passing two crumbling cemeteries [prosaically named "Panteon No. 1" and "Panteon No. 2"]. Turn left onto the grandly named but narrow Calle Naciones Unidas and go one block and you are there: A two story house stands proudly at the corner, like a mirage, draped in a luxuriant fuchsia flowering Bougainvillea. A table covered in a colorful fabric from Chiapas [the most remote and southerly Mexican state, from which the owners hail] is placed just outside the entrance door. Walk inside, and you will be gently greeted with refinement by Max and Giovanni, who will then place you into the adept hands of waiters Eduardo or Saul. Immediately you will sense the emotion and love that is La Cabana del Artista. It is a feeling that is ephemeral and undefined, something that cannot be quantified, but you will know you are in a place unlike any other. Max will whisper in your ear about new wines in the cellar that have appeared since your last visit, and the bottles will be ceremoniously presented on the table for your perusal. Eduardo will present a plate of Pasta a la Rueda, scraped from the cheese wheel, or a gleaming salmon with fresh arugula. Ricardo will set up a chair in the corner and begin singing and strumming his guitar. After dinner, Max will create for you his magic with a myriad of coffee drinks that he makes from very special family coffee beans brought from his home in Chiapas. When it is time to leave, Max will be there. You know what you have just experienced is out of the norm. It is not about four walls and waiters and menus. Rather, it is a kind of artistic creation in its own right, for Max is the "Artista" of the "Cabana", in his welcome, in his wine and in his beloved Chiapas coffee. And it is certain that the spirit of La Cabana del Artista will travel with you as you make your way through the busy streets of Tijuana to the Frontera and back to San Diego.

    Great atmosphere for any occasion (family romantic etc) my wife enjoyed her omelette I think it should have a little more flavor... my chilaquiles was a bit on the sweet side, it wasn't bad just different from the authentic ones I'm use to... juices are freshly squeezed and coffee is out this world. Overall experience 4.5/5

    Chicken (pollo)
    Elsie C.

    I really liked the vibe of this place - Italian bistro without being crowded, is a small place but very unique. Love , love the live music Meals we order The Chicken breast in white wine (one of my favorites) rib eye and filet mignon. The dishes were some of the best we ever had while visiting Tijuana. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the waitress made sure the chicken was seasoned just right. The portions are average no side dishes. The service was done very well, and we were not hurried at all. Our Overall, a tremendous experience. Will be back

    Chilaquiles rojos y negros YUM
    Alan M.

    This place is a hidden jewel and it's a must visit location to have some authentic chapanecan Mexican culinary food. First of all the variety of types of coffees to choose from is a plus. Always make sure too order the tamal "chipilin" as an appetizer to share then order your entree. I ordered the chilaquiles negros and rojos. Enjoy!

    Breakfast menu yummy

    A rustic little place off the beaten path. I came across it as I searched online for coffee in Tijuana. I let the server choose my coffee for me and she came back with half a gourd of a delicious and nutty coffee from the Chiapas region of Mexico. I'll be back.

    Tascalate
    jonny s.

    never had a bad meal and to top it off never had bad service. Luckily for me I always get the same server and she is amazing and at this point she knows exactly what my girlfriend and I usually order. They are very friendly and knowledgable on the menu. I try and make it at least once a week when possible, and it's worth the travel. If you do make it to this cool little spot the two items you must order is, cold Tascalate and a Chipilin tamal, you will thank me later.

    From their delicious coffees to the decor everything inside this place is amazing. This place is a must when coming to Tijuana, a hidden jewel for sure!

    Delicioso!

    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

    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!!
