It's a great experience even for a regular cinema. I love how they have different flavors of popcorn. Last time I went, they had a cheesey mix flavor, regular butter flavor, and a chili flavor. There's also a small coffee shop in the theater next to the popcorn/snack sale area. Sometimes they even have a crepe stand that sells both sweet and savory crepes. It's usually between the popcorn sale area and the coffee shop. I know that Cinepolis has a few locations in California as well. I'll have to make a visit to see if they're as good as the ones in Mexico.

Went to TJ for some food & ended up walking around and watching Tornado here. The theater was big,…read moreiMax is always a louder experience so if you opt for that, be ready! Service was great. The chairs don't recline & the escalator down wasn't working. Those were my only negative points but aside from that, great experience! I also love that they have kids seats in the bathroom stalls, sometimes we need our toddlers to hold still lol

I love this movie theater and I go every time I'm in Tijuana. It's the second and smaller movie…read moretheater in Plaza Rio. It's located a bit further into the plaza whereas the regular Cinepolis is located right at the entrance. I think it's safe to say I've been here over 50 times. At one point in my life I used to watch a movie here twice every month. The workers are all so friendly and helpful. There's a nice lounge near the concession area that you can use if while you're waiting for your viewing room to open up. They have a menu that's exclusive to the VIP theatre. If you're running late and didn't have time to stop at the concession stand, you're able to order directly from your seat within the viewing room. It's usually pretty clean and I've never had a problem getting my tickets. The reclining chairs are comfortable, and while I rarely consume alcoholic beverages in movie theaters, I think it's great that they have the option for those that do. The crepes are my favorite snack. My favorite is blackberry jam with cream cheese.

It's located inside the mall and there is ample parking at the mall parking lot. Upon walking up there was no one working the ticket counter but after a brief wait we were asked what movie we wanted to see and purchased our tickets. It looked as though they were a bit understaffed because the person at the ticket counter then had to run behind the snack counter to help another customer. They have comfortable chairs but it smelled a bit mildewy when we walked in the theater. It could have been because it was the first showing of the day and the air conditioning had been off. The smell went away pretty quickly and the sound and picture were great.

The high ceilings made for an airy, spacious feel. The decor and art are very hip. Fortunately during the mid-afternoon, it wasn't too crowded. Our group ordered a variety of drinks, from negronis to spritzers. Everything was refreshing and well-prepared. We were too full from previous meals to try the food, but definitely will return to do so. The staff was attentive as well. Overall a cool, memorable, and pleasant experience!

The bar on the 3rd story along with the décor looks like it belongs somewhere in Gaslamp. The food was pretty cheap but on the smaller fancier portion size. We got the ceviche, octopus tostada, and shrimp tostada. The ceviche was really good, lots of octopus! It was quite expensive though since if you pay in USD they gave you the exchange rate of 16 (the day we went it's about 19). The shrimp tostada was amazing! The portions of the shrimp were very good, and it tasted so fresh. I also liked my octopus tostada. It was a bit on the smaller side, but I would pay that any time since I can't get it for less than that in the states! Drinks were good, made very much like a craft cocktail place. I got the tamarind pineapple cocktail with mezcal and a tajin rim. Very hipster place...don't have straws as well. Staff spoke English and was polite.

The regular Cinepolis has regular seating arrangements, and you have to buy your food and drinks at the concession stands outside. The cleanliness here isn't bad at all, and it is rather safe. I've been to this one before and it isn't bad. However, much how I'm used to going to iPic theaters back home, I like getting similar treatment when I travel. The VIP Cinepolis will give you just that. The chairs recline, and you get a pillow and blanket to keep you warm. You can order food, drinks (both alcoholic and virgin), and snacks right from your seat. The attendants there are good with service, and the place is clean. Whichever option you pick, you'll have a great movie-going experience here.

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!

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.
