Service is super fast because they have a lot of workers and all efficient from the minute you drive up they're ready to serve. Outdoor seating set up in a parking lot- nothing fancy or overpriced! This is the best place to bring a date to see if they pass the humility check mark . Best food is the tostadas and molcajete I had a couple of hot tacos but by far the fresh food is what keeps this place busy. Make sure to ask for extra avocado! Must try if you're in TJ!

Great seafood at this stand across from Mercado Hidalgo…read more The Maleficio is ceviche/crudo in a goblet with a Bloody Mary-esque sauce. Came with shrimp and callo (scallop?). Surprisingly good hangover food. You sit at a stool directly in front of the stand and have an array of accoutrements spread on the counter: various hot sauces, tostada chips, etc. Drinks aren't listed on the menu but there is Fanta, aguas frescas, etc. USD accepted but you'll probably get a better rate if you convert to pesos.

The day was just beginning, so I opted for an 8oz lager from Insurgente to start the day. Service from the bar was friendly - the bartender provided multiple tasters and recommendations. This crisp and refreshing definitely hit the spot for under $2. My friend had a trio of tacos and sangria. The food was fairly priced, came out quickly, and tasty (I tried a bite). Definitely an option to keep in mind for group dining. Looking forward to returning to try out more!

I hate to say it, but this food court was quite a disappointment. I was looking for a place that…read morespecializes in chilaquiles, a vast variety of them, but found the Yelp page to be unaware of that location's closing. So, short on time, we opted to eat from one of the other food stalls, and found one with, you guessed it, a few varieties of chilaquiles. They did look wonderful on the plate, and were seemingly perfectly executed, complete with sunny egg and nicely coated chips. The one with shredded beef had very tasty beef, but suffered, as did the house special variety, from a lack of flavor overall. Both dishes were just quite bland in the same way, and lacked any excitement of flavors. We didn't finish them, and opted not to take the leftovers. Beverages: I ordered a mezcalita, having had an excellent one at Telefonico a couple of weeks prior, and hoping to have something similar. Instead of a smaller cocktail with a kick, this was extremely watery and had a commercial taste to it. I didn't finish this either. I only had food from one of the places, so can't judge the rest, but I don't see myself going back. Bland food from one and a miserable drink from another don't suggest good odds.

Worth the Drive!…read more Five stars for the flavor, composition, and size of the meal. $3 bucks gets you a hotdog and frys. Location on yelp map a bit off. You need to drive south on the street half way down the block. The truck is actually a VW Bus converted to a food truck. Cool look and a bucket list style food destination. The Hot Dogs: I had both kinds. The Mex (4*)which has avocado and grilled onions. Was very good. The Bread was flavorful, chewy, and dense. The hot dog tasted great, unorthodox style as if a Polish dog was cut down the middle and fried on a flat grill. Crisp outer texture and clearly a good quality pork dog. They have chicken but went with the pork. I liked it. Second dog: (5*) Same flavorful bread and hot dog. Mushrooms and a chipotle sauce. This dog was EPIC. The flavor and consistency was excellent from start to finish! I totally recommend this dog, slightly better than the MEX dog. French Fries: these potatoes are like homemade steak Fries. Pre baked or boiled then cut and fried. Thick and hearty with some crisp, salt and pepper. Pretty good but better fresh. I had to take mine to go so I don't blame them for not being super crisp due to the steam in the Styrofoam to go tray. They serve Hamburgers but went for the Dogs. Bring cash. Go there, expect a good Hot Dog. Eat, repeat!

So delish! This vendor is located at Las Americas Premium Outlets directly across the food court. Most days there's a bustling line of people waiting to order. However, service is typically made quick and easy by the efficiency of the staff. Staff are friendly and the vibe is lively! Today, we ordered the classic mini churros with lechera! Nothing beats that savory dough flavor, crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, with an exaggerated amount of cinnamon-sugar coating! My daughter ordered her usual- the mangoneada! Need I say more! And my wife and son ordered a couple of delicious aguas frescas de limon and mango! Definitely come check these guys out! You won't leave disappointed!

It came with smashed avocado and sweet potato fries with dipping sauce. My boyfriend was able to get tacos and ceviche from one of the other carts, which was a plus. I would definitely come here to try it, but it's pretty gentrified with mainly tourists (some locals) buzzing around. It's not really authentic Mexican food but it's yummy and all vegan and was an option for me so I enjoyed it. I think my burger and fries was only $7 something USD, too!
