Not the cheapest in TJ, but having all the options in once place is nice. Pro tip: have pesos ready for prepaid parking at kiosks. Once by restrooms and one near north entrance.

My husband and I are staying at the Hyatt. He walked down to this market to check it out as I was…read morerecovering from surgery. He came back to the room extremely happy toting bags of goodies. He found tortas, burritos, tortillas, salsa. He said everyone was very nice to him. He doesn't speak Spanish (not even a little). He has given up so much for me this week and to see him happy about a torta and nice people made me feel good. The lady making the meat made it fresh in front of him! Now I want some rice pudding so I might send him back to see if they have any!

Tacos El Herradero is a local taqueria offering tacos made with quality meats and ingredients. My…read morefavorite was the Campechano, a mix of suadero and tripa on corn tortillas with onions and cilantro. I also tried the adobada (marinated pork sliced from a rotating spit), carne asada, and chorizo. The latter two were served on freshly-made thick, chewy, yellow corn tortillas, which were themselves a highlight. At each table came salsa, lemons, radishes, and cucumbers for pairing with the tacos, each of which was delicious in its own way!

We tried three types of tacos: 1) adobada 2) brisket and tripe and 3) cabeza. The cabeza was my…read morefavorite and consisted of meat from a cow's head. It was meaty, fatty and tender and was perfect served in a soft taco. We had 12 tacos for 4 people. With soft drinks, we spent only $15.

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!

Service impeccable! This was the second time I've been. We didn't realize "The Secret Garden" was a…read morehidden speakeasy within the same restaurant. Same menu, same venue, just hidden. Our server who was also the Manager of the restaurant was sincere, genuine, & provided us with the most incredible service. Forgive me as i am not 100% certain his name was Alfredo (or Alberto; lo siento). The double cheeseburger was good, not exceptional. The texture & flavor; delicious. I'm not certain that with all the cheese, the type of bun used, & the "meat" combine well. Conclusion is that the entire experience of trying to eat it as if it was a "cheeseburger" didn't really happen well. Again, it was still good. It just became a fork & knife meal. The Italian sub be mindful is served hot. We did not know that (prolly our fault for not reading it). Nevertheless I can assure you it would not have stopped me from ordering it! IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! It literally brought me back to a most incredible Italian sub that I used to order. O.M.G. It really was done right. The Cesar salad! Yes. Second best Cesar salad I've ever had. The dressing was incredible. I did forget to mention it was actually a "chicken" Cesar salad & the chicken was done exceptionally well! Side note: last time we were there we had sweet potato & regular fries, a cheese pizza, the chicken cheeseburger, & something else I can't remember at this time. We have almost tried the entire menu. One more trip over there & we will make it happen. Also, the cocktails are so tasty delicious. A significant amount of classic Mexican cocktails for your drinking pleasure. Oh yea, the kombucha too (& that's coming from someone who only liked Big Mountain Kombucha; until now). Thanks Team Gardeno. See you soon.
