    Before the name change, this taco shop was known as El Taconazo. It is located on a busy…read moreintersection and parking is extremely limited.  I noticed it did get renovated. Customer service is still spectacular as I remember. The food is delicious, my go-to's are either the Vampiro de asada or their tradtional taco de adobada. The tacos portions are generous. Prices have increased slightly (inflation) but overall still a great experience.

    This location of Taconazo was the final stop en route back to the States during one of our walking…read morefoodie trips to Tijuana. The shop was located south and east of the main drag in the Madero neighborhood (not Zona Centro per Yelp). If you elected to take a cab instead of walking, the fare was about eight US dollars to get there from the famous arch on Av Revolucion. The waiter for our table was bilingually fluent so it was quick and easy to place orders. I picked three tacos for my meal... an adobada (al pastor), a suadero, and a carne asada. The braised and stewed meat of the suadero cut was juicy and tender. You can never go wrong with freshly sliced pork from a rotating spit for an adobada taco either. The pineapple slice added to the top of the al pastor was larger than any I have seen in the SD area. The cost was about five bucks to chow on three street size tacos. Cheap Mexican street food of decent quality is what keeps me returning periodically to TJ with different group of friends.

    Animal has been opened a little over a year now and it is fine dinning at its best. This place is…read moreexpensive so get over it. Make a reservation, you just must. Have your hotel do it or call them. It is owned by CDMZ I think, it reminds me of one. The moment you walk in you are made to feel comfortable and happy. It is quite beautiful. The service is true fin dinning service. You will want for nothing. The entire staff is great. Dressy, but business casual is just fine. Go in a armless tee and cargo shorts and you will be out of place. They have an amazing selection of food. They have sushi, empanadas, steaks, tacos and all sorts of small plates. We get a bunch and share. Their sushi is so fresh and their steak is cooked to perfection. They even have some great soups now and again. There is something for everyone here. Parking is valet for a fee. It is a wonder, it really is.

    Animal Tijuana, is a Mexican and Japanese fine dining restaurant at the Shops at Landmark. It is…read morelocated on the upper floor in a mesmerizing dining room with eye catching and stunning, vintage chandeliers. There is soft music in the background and captivating decor, all around. The moment you walk in, there are multiple servers greeting you and escorting you to your table. You know right away that it's going to be a memorable evening. I actually did not know that there was Japanese fare here too, and I tried to concentrate on the local Mexico dishes. I am not a big eater so in order to taste a variety I tried to choose appetizers and small bites. The evening began with complimentary salsas, three of them, with chips. What is unique is that their chips are long rectangular strips of different composition. The salsas were fresh. I liked the green one the best and once I had finished these, they brought another batch of chips, but these had a mild but satisfying cheese taste. Both of the chip varieties were spectacular. My first choice for food, was the almond crusted green beans that are drizzled with sweet and sour sauce. This clearly had a Japanese tint to it. It is a large potion I only finished half of it. My only comment on this dish is that I couldn't taste the almonds. It looked more like it was a tempura type fry. The sweet and sour sauce dominated the dish. My second selection, was the popular (according to my server), the Taco Richi (ribbeye, cheese crust, pork cracklings, and avocado). Comes as one piece. This was superb. Finally, more Tacos, the Beef Steak Gaonera (Hand-made tortillas, guacamole and pico de gallo). Comes as two pieces. This too was equally good. I also succumbed and ordered a side order of french fries too. At the end, they surprised me with a complimentary dessert. A small potion of their cheesecake, which had four caramelized macadamia nuts on top. It was different. Overall, it was a dining experience that was unmatched and one that can give LA restaurants, serious competition. I had at least five different servers taking care of me right through the night. Needless to say, the service was outstanding.
