Visiting Tijuana and am so glad that there are Calimaxes everywhere! You can't miss them with their unmistakable grocery cart icon and they are conveniently located throughout the city. We were looking for an ATM machine to withdraw pesos and shop for food. The items are reasonably priced, with the exchange rate around 20 pesos to a dollar.
There were rows of salsas and tortilla chips next to the juicing bar where we picked up a container of salsa made from a molcajete cucharon (stone mortar and pestle). It was perfectly delicious with our makeshift flour tortilla burritos and tortilla chips!
They have assortments of breads- bodillo, telera, boliqueso, and even baguete (bagettes). Pick up a galleta (cookie) or cocada from their bakery! We puchased a combination of sweet breads and savory plain breads.
Love the produce here. We were deliberate to make a fruit salad and gathered papayas, grapes, and cactus pairs. With their hard seeds and luscious red fruit meat, you can't easily find cactus pairs in the states but you can find it here at Calimax!
A nice offering of produce and conveniently located in Tijuana, this Calimax is worth stopping by for your next trip south of the border! read more
