    A mess!
    Marilyn R.

    The worst bbq ribs we've ever had!! We wanted to try a new place and we were craving BBQ so we saw that this place had good reviews. We ordered 2 of their Baby back Pork Ribs with Jack Daniels and it came with fries, corn on the cob and bread, when we opened the foil container it looked like a disaster the fries were mixed with bbq sauce, and soggy, and the sauce was not Jack Daniel's. Horrible presentation. Then we started eating the ribs and the meat was tough and worst of all it was raw!! So disgusting! Take a look at the pictures see for yourself... There are way better other places in Tijuana. All because we wanted to try something new we're praying we don't get sick for eating raw pork!

    No mask, no entry Temperatures are checked upon arrival We were a party of 6 people and didn't even wait to be seated. However there was a wait for orders to-go. Once we ordered we got our food quickly; everything was delicious, finger-licking good

    Chicken strips with BBQ sauce and bread ..also fries..perfect for teens or kids

    Excellent please...literally what you can expect from a BBQ joint... super nice..the servers DAMNN super nice very happy place. Let's talk about the food, well the portions as expected HUMONGOUS!! the bread and the corn well I can assure you it's enough for you your family cat and dog..and lunch for the next day. My husband had the full rack of bbq beef ribs for 300 and something pesos..the equivalent to 16 Us dollars given or take..it comes with 2 corn pieces and 2 pieces of bread ohhh and a huge bed if fries...this is for 2 people but I have a big husband so... The kid had chicken strips with bbq sauce and same ..fries and bread. Me...a delicious carne asada fries with nacho cheese...WOW!! BREAD INCLUDED! did I mention the bread was amazing hahaha!! They have a cucumber lime and chia water so refreshing.. Cool place..family friendly, big parties too. If you dont like to wait you can call in advance some sort of reservation or take out. Enjoy the pictures!!!

    Craft beer was a no-no for me.

    Was up all night finding places to eat with the family a day before heading to TJ. It had been a while since I last had some good ribs. Read a couple of reviews and decided to taste them. After watching a movie with the kids, we headed to this place. We were all hungry and decided to get some ribs, turkey leg, and pollo fries. My kids ordered a chia-cucumber-lemon agua fresca and I ordered a craft beer from the region. My wife's pollo fries were good, maybe lacked a tiny bit of flavor, but over all edible Next was the turkey leg. Now that was veryyy good. Too bad we only ordered one and my girls ate most of it. Next were the ribs. Honestly the presentation wasn't the best. Maybe I got a small rack but honestly i wasn't impressed. They were tender but I was not a fan of the bbq sauce. To me it tasted a lot like Carolina BBQ ribs I tasted more vinegar than I did sweetness. It tasted a lot like tomato paste. But enjoyed them anyway. The chia lemon cucumber agua fresca was very good and served in a generous cup. I did not enjoy the craft beer at all. It tasted like a watered-down version of Big Kahuna beer. Overall a pretty good way to end a hectic day. One thing is for sure, I will probably be back for the turkey leg and agua fresca.

    Excellent bbq! Reminds me of being back in Kansas City! Friendly staff with great customer service. Serving portions are large.

    This review is in Spanish so I you don't know Spanish, translate it your self. Okay, okay! Hay muchas cosas de decir de este lugar! Vamos a decir Que hay una pelota enfrente de ti, esa pelota es mi opinion en algun restaurante, vamos a decir Que ecojes unos tacos de la esquina. La pelota va a estar un tamaño mediano. Y luego escojes este restaurante. La pelota va a estar Al tamaño de sol. Las amburguesas estan baratas, ricas, y a buen precio por tener las amburgueseas y elote y las papas fritas. Las alitas estan mas ò menos porque estan chiquitas pero el sabor esta bueno, las costillas estan buenas, los burritos estan como un burrito normal nomas un poquito mas grande de lo normal, ciabatta de arracherra esta sabrosa. Este lugar es muy bueno. si estas en el centro de tijuana, ven aqui. te lo recomiendo!

    Mmmm

    My burger was way over cooked and the fries were undercooked, which is a bad combination. Nice selection of craft beers.

    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 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.

My son and I went in to order 10 tacos and I ordered the same 10 tacos de adobada, and a Tripa taco, all tacos are delicious but the tripa 110% great flavor. Amazing customer service, super friendly, I loved the salsa bar, they got everything for your tacos needs. After the gunshots and the police investigation, my son ordered 10 more tacos to go, yeah that good, and I ordered 5 for my wife. We are definitely coming back to tacos el güero I recommend this place 100%.

We went today and order (Mojarra Frita ) (Whole Fried Fish)(And they served us piece of Breaded Fish) ( And Camarón al Mojo de Ajo (Garlic Shrimp)( Garlic Shrimp tasted like shrimp in tomate sauce and was pretty hard , GARLIC was no where to be found ! ! Garlic Shrimp is supposed to be butterfly opened , grilled with Garlic vs the whole shrimps in tomato sauce!

Not to mention, we order flour tortillas and waitress told us they only serve corn tortilla which seems very strange, So i got up and asked the lady at the register why you don't serve flour tortillas ?, which she responded : we do have flour as well as corn tortillas ! So I don't know why waitress would say : We only serve corn tortillas here! Also the place has a nasty strong smell of that gross Fabuloso Cleaning!!

    Five stars. I…read moreordered a bean and cheese burrito with French fries. It was $15.23, and after leaving a $2 tip, I was into it for a little over $17. It's easily the most expensive bean and cheese burrito I've ever bought, but it's also by far the biggest. The burrito was packed from end to end with an excellent filling-to-tortilla ratio. It was delicious, filling, and definitely lived up to its size. The salsa bar was another standout, with four or five different salsas to choose from, and every one I tried was good. It's definitely on the expensive side, so it may not fit everyone's budget. That said, I've always said I'm willing to pay more for a burrito that's actually full, and Sayulitas delivered. The portion, flavor, and quality made it worth the price. I'll definitely be back.

Whatever you see on tik tok may even be true, I've had decent burritos in the past from them, but this was not good in any way. Over priced flimsy burrito and the juices drained through the paper and foil as soon as I started to unwrap it. I ordered the burrito with extra sour cream, extra guacamole, it should've had nacho cheese and curly fries in there as well. All you see is a weak tortilla and carne with a few pieces of sausage. Also the service was a bit awkward. Idk it just wasn't welcoming I felt out of place. I was shocked as to why they were 3 stars. Next time maybe I should come with my camera team and let them know I'm an influencer. This wasn't it. I won't be back at all this year, or next year.
