Admission 100 Mexican Pesos or US $ 5. You can try free different types of tequila and you can also buy tequilas. There are also performances, Mexican folklore like dances, music, and songs. There is also a food court next to it. It is worth visiting and I recommend it. Tequila Expo in Tijuana is every year. My recommendation to avoid headaches buy good quality tequila with the words on the bottle "100% Agave" - BTW "How to Take a Straight Tequila Shot - The Spruce Eats https://www.thespruceeats.com ' Drinks & Cocktails ' Cocktails ' Cocktail Basics Feb 5, 2019 - "Lick, Sip, Suck" Moisten the back of your hand below the index finger (usually by licking) and pour on the salt. Lick the salt off your hand. The salt lessens the burn of the tequila. Drink the tequila. Quickly bite into and suck the lemon or lime wedge. The sour fruit balances and enhances the flavor of the tequila."

My only disappointment was the quality of the sound system! The mix was very off and there was a lot of feed back. We figured they would get everything dialed in by the time Mariachi Vargas hit the stage but it didn't happen! Seems like it got worse. Also The Music was very low in the general admission area. We talked to people sitting in VIP and they where also saying the sound quality was horrible up at the front. With all that aside We will Defiantly be returning next year!

This festival was a massive disappointment. It wasnt on my radar but a friend had a spare ticket so…read morewhat's the worst that could go wrong? A lot, actually. The $12 tickets seems fair, until you realize all it gets you is in the door (after paying $20 in parking). There was not a significant amount of taco vendors and most were ridiculously overpriced ($20+ for three tacos) and had similar quality to what you might find at a county fair. As for the tequila tastings, its seems they instructed all the vendors to portion out .5oz shots to pour into your tasting glass and you only get six of these pours for the low price of $50! (+fees). Want a margarita? Well it seems like they may have whispered a bit of tequila into the sugary mess they poured into your cup. Well you know what you're getting with beer right? They'll happily sell you a Tecate for $12 and it wont even be on draft. Better value can honestly be found at Petco Park. Even finding a place to sit was harder than it should have been as there were way less tables in the eating are then there were people in attendance. We shared a table with some fellow festival goers, who were also disappointed in the cold, soggy carne asada fries they were served. No one deserves that. I would highly recommend this festival to anyone who hates money. And themselves.

Major rip off- It's a glorified average food truck street fair with overpriced drinks! Skip it!…read more It's $45 for a ticket with a margarita and then you have e to pay another $59 to sample 6 tiny tiny samples of different tequila. It's the music people come for and would save the dollars and spend elsewhere. Margaritas are $17.50!!

Highlights for my were the food truck alley, nostalgic car roll, the many artisan vendors, not to mention the additional food vendors, and the entertainment on the several stages. I interacted with a number of the vendors, volunteers, and festival goers and everyone was great. I liked that they had stuff for adults and families to enjoy, and I especially loved that they had a place sectioned off only for adults with libations and eats. The festival is also situated at a great park, J Street Marina Bayside Park, with its great view of San Diego harbor.

A lot of Ceviche! Unfortunately, the seafood ran out early for several of the vendors, but I guess that just shows how popular this event is, eh? We discovered a couple of truly outstanding places we want to check out - one in La Jolla on Girard and the other right here in CV! After the bites and sips, we walked around the HarborFest grounds to check out the various booths, including commercial, governmental, and NGO's like Scripps Aquarium and Seaworld (maybe Seaworld doesn't qualify as an NGO - at least their stockholders are hoping so, LOL). Everybody seemed to be having a great time. There were three live stages with bands and lots of activities for the kiddies. The weather was balmy and the bay breeze really made this a pleasant day in the sun. Unlike others, we were able to park for free on the street. The $10 "preferred parking" in a dirt lot was silly. We were closer to the entrance than a lot of the paying customers! This event shows a lot of promise, and with a little more organization, I know it is going to be even more fun in the future!

I found myself in a gallery until a security guard told me that this is a ticketed area and told me to get a ticket from the gift shop. I went to the gift shop and bought my ticket and then they directed to a separate building where the museum actually was. While I walked there, I passed by an aquarium and walked in and it turned out that you need a separate ticket for it! I left the aquarium and continued my quest to find the museum. I passed by a garden with various statues, pretty cool and the museum and right behind that. Went into the museum building and walked in to what I thought was part of the exhibit and it turned out to be the back part of it and I was directed to go to the other end. Yes! I finally found it! They took my ticket and I entered the museum exhibit area. It's a gallery of the history of Mexico from ancient times to almost current day. I love that for most of the articles, there's an English translation below it as well. Definitely recommend checking out this museum. Don't get lost!

Though I've been to this plaza a dozen times I never actually went in to enjoy the museum. It was a…read morenice place to get respite from the sun and heat after enjoying the outside event. The museum is very well thought out, interesting and well designed. It gives a history focusing on the Baja California region of Mexico. It was very informative and helped to learn a lot about the area, its indigenous people and how it came to be the Baja we know today. I enjoyed it immensely though do wish there was more emphasis on the indigenous communities and their contributions to the culture and not so heavy on the impact of the Spanish especially the priests and monks. They do history a disservice by not mentioning the atrocities that transpired against the native people by the conquerers both religious and otherwise in the name of religion and "gentrification". We need to be honest, so that these crimes against humanity are not soon repeated.
