    I don't know if it was the fact that I had the drinking-munchies, or because I hadn't eaten anything substantial prior to coming here or because I genuinely love eating. Maybe all of the above? The burgers here are absolutely AMAZING. You have to come here if you get the chance. Shoot, it's enough of a reason to keep me coming to plaza fiesta! We came here because it's owned by the same people as Slow Burger (which I'm a fan of) and because it had a cool vibe to it. As soon as we sat down a waitress comes and takes our drink/food order and I kid you not, less than 10 minutes she comes back with the burger, fries and drinks. YAY! The burger was so good I wish I hadn't shared it. We ordered the Caleidoscopio, which had cheese portobello mushroom and the meat was 50/50 (bacon/meat). Next time, I'll eat the entire damn burger :) Note: If you have a low spice tolerance, watch out for the fries! They have quite a kick to them

    The bar.

    This is really nice place located at plaza del zapato. They have such good burgers and fries, the beer is also delicious competitive with high quality breweries. Definitely a must if you're exploring the crazy Tijuana!

    If you are around La Plaza del Zapato in Tijuana you have to stop by this place. The best burgers I have ever tasted,I ordered festival 16 and it's very delicious. They have a nice variety of craft beer.

    If you are ever around tj, i recomend this place, my way to described is hamburgers made whit LOVE, this is not your average burger joint, gourmet burgers is the right term, 100 beers to chose from, something for every taste, the mist expensive burger is @ 10.00 dlls, but trust me it is worth it, a gem!

    See all

    This is our favorite place to eat in Tijuana. It can get crowded and I don't know if they take…read morereservations. I had someone call from our hotel and we got right in and there was a line outside. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is all great. Their breakfast goes from American eggs and bacon with the best potatoes to wonderful burrito type breakfast items. Their menudo is great and they have great Mexican meats as well. Lunch and dinner is about the same. They make Mexican style fish and steak that is just perfect every time. All of their Mexican dishes are just wonderful. You can't go wrong. They even have bottled water--never drink the water there, just don't. They have the best rice and beans. The service is great. They make you feel right at home and even if you don't speak Spanish, most speak English and you will figure it out because they will help you. The prices are fair for what you get. At dinner I consider it fine dining. It is all good and you will be happy. The place is also clean and super comfortable.

    I conducted extensive homework to find a place to have breakfast, in Tijuana. I settled on La…read moreEspadana. It has an old spanish mission look on the outside and walking in, you can immediately recognize that it is an impressive and popular place. The decor here is something to write home about. Beautiful wall fixtures, and well crafted local pottery and other artifacts, all around, everywhere. There is ample seating, that is well spaced out. Perfectly pitched Mexican music permeates the atmosphere. There is attentive staff that is so courteous, and welcoming. I wanted to eat lite, and I wanted to eat Mexican, so I chose the Yucatán Tamales. It comes as one pork and one chicken, both slim, wide rectangles, each baked in a banana leaf. They both had their subtle and distinct flavors. Comes with refried beans. The complementary salsas, the rojo and verde, were fresh and tasty. Service was outstanding. Another memorable restaurant in Tijuana, that needs to be filed into the "excellent" and "must go" folders.
