    Tres enchiladas d pollo cn frijoles y arroz.
    Lani M.

    No private lot & was a bit hard to find street parking. We happen to pull over in front & asked a security if the cars on the side were for this establishment in which he confirmed. Got out the car & he took it to park for us. Coming into the restaurant, we stood at the door for a few seconds without being greeted or directed where to sit. Finally they told us to sit wherever we please. Sat down, looked over the menu, decided what we wanted. They brought out a complimentary plate of frijoles, chicarrón, chips, & salsa. My son tore up the frijoles & was eating spoonfuls of salsa. Which had a bit of a kick to it, a good kick though! The chicharrón was 10/10. Definitely an appetizer I would order on its own. We already knew what we wanted & was waiting on a server to take our order. Which took a bit. It's like they have one server for everyone based on how long we're waiting in between, but they actually don't. Lol. Inside was had a little old school/Old Town typa vibes. My son ordered a kids hamburger meal which came with fries. My husband ordered the machaca plate w/ chilaquiles rojos that included chicharron, arroz y frijoles. I ordered the tres enchilada d pollo in salsa rojo w/ crema d elote which also included arroz y frijoles. My son's burger was hot & fresh off the grill, steaming. I tried his burger & it was bomb. I didn't get to try my husband's plate so can't comment on his. My enchiladas were mediocre at best. Probably wouldn't order it again if I'm being honest. Wasn't a huge fan of them. Aren't things supposed to taste more delicious when you're starving? This was the first meal of the day for us. & I couldn't even finish it because I wasn't a fan of it. Especially being it tasted like dark meat chicken. The crema d elote was ok. It was creamy & had a hint of corn flavor. Haven't had much corn soups in my lifetime to compare it to others. Portion sizes were huge! We paid $39 for everything which included a natural limonada, agua fresa, & a soda. This restaurant reminds me of another establishment in Tj called Restaurante Mexicano. You'll definitely get your money's worth/what you pay for.

    Outside patio is dog friendly

    The food is amazing. Hand-made tortillas and generous portions. You feel like you're in your Abuelitas patio with the plants all around you. Very nice ambiance. The service is amazing. A plus for us is the dog friendly patio. We are definitely coming back. Martha took great care of us. We highly recommend this place for home cooked meals.

    Coming from Virginia, where there isn't much good Mexican food, I couldn't resist trying a Tijuana restaurant. The results were good, overall. I had a Wednesday breakfast special with three cheese enchiladas in mole sauce, a scrambled egg, breakfast potatoes, rice, beans, and a side-order pancake. The enchiladas were good, although the sauce was a tad sweet. The pancake was delicious. The beans were better than average, and the rest was all good. Price was reasonable. Service was pleasant, although English is problematic. Food was cooked promptly. Complimentary chips were nothing special, and the salsa was a bit too hot for my taste.

    When we arrived we were greeted and our temperature was taken. We were told we could sit wherever we'd like. Once seated a sever went to our table greeted us and took us a basket with sweet bread. I ordered a hot chocolate (chocolate abuelita) and my husband had a cafe de oya. It smelled and tasted amazing. Our breakfast arrived shortly it was fresh and flavorful. The food is absolutely delicious. They also have hand made tortillas. Service was attentive and friendly. I will be coming back to try more dishes.

    This place is awesome . I really don't have anything bad to say so far about this place and the food. Last week I got Parrilla finca which it had Carne de puerco, chuleta de res, chorizo, and trips (it was really crispy). Today Had the pollo con mole and it was super tasty and chicken was very soft. I defetealy recommend this place and it's a must try kind of restaurant.

    Authentic Mexican food, with very delicious seasoning. Steak, tamales, Chicken Soup. Management is awesome, staff it's "ok". I would like to give a five star, but in my opinion the wait time is a bit long. Just expect to go on an occasion when you are not rushing to head out.

    Open for business and very safe and clean  they take precautions very seriously and ensure a great dining experience

    We stayed for a month next door to this hidden gem in Zona Urbana Rio and by far the best Mexican food i've had. We tried so many other places in Tijuana and nothing comes remotely close to Fonda La Finca's authenticity. First things first: Wifi - fonda la finca Password - Buenprovecho1 Service here is Excellent. They pay attention to their patrons and go the extra mile to make sure your tummy is happy by the time you leave. Chips and condiment tray are served as soon as you are seated and the salsa is damn good with a fantastic kick to it. We had several meals here and loved everything we ordered. Herez what swept me off my feet: They Had me at Champurrado - Stopped by several times just for this winter goodness which they serve in earthen mugs. Hot Chocolate - this yummy godliness served in earthen mug with cinnamon sticks is the Best hot chocolate I've Ever had. I'm NOT exaggerating because being a hot-chocolate-junkie, I know a good hot chocolate when I see it and this is nothing like I've ever had before. Rib Eye Steak - yet another favorite I had Twice, SEVEN US dollars for a melt-in-the-mouth piece of steak. Its a crime to leave Tijuana without eating this one here. Red Tamales - These are only served during winter and do not miss this one. Red Rice: O.M.G!! This is by far the BESTEST of the Best rice I've had. Fluffy with perfect seasoning and you can actually see veggies in it. A+ Next time I cross the border, Fonda La Finca is gonna be my first stop. Check it out for yourself!

    If you are looking for a different type of place for breakfast in Tijuana, you will discover the…read morename, Marenca. The Zona Rio location has a small dining area, that is very popular with both the locals and visitors. It is easy to see why. Their menu does not over dose on the standard morning and afternoon items that you would find anyplace. However, this is the first restaurant I've been to in Tijuana, that does not have an English menu.... so I had to labor through the Spanish menu. But, they do have unique dishes, thus making the visit adventurous, because it is difficult to choose. I went back and forth, and finally settled for their 3-egg omelet with asparagus and sheep cheese. It came with refried beans, strings of carrots and beets, small fired up tostadas and fresh tortillas (both blue and yellow corn). A small side of soggy chilaquiles was also served. A small flavorful salsa tray is also provided with 3 options, ranging from mild to hot. The asparagus spears were thin, cut up into small pieces and sautéed with mild spices. The outer egg covering soft and not overdone. If anything, there was too much sheep cheese, in certain portions of the omelet. I say this because it was an asparagus omelet, and it, instead of the cheese, should have been the star. Still, it did not take away from the other commendable aspects of the complete entree and its accompaniments. Before the meal, a small refreshing fruit plate is served. Coffee and overall service here, was mucho excellente.

I really hope that they bring back their full menu. Service is always amazing shadow to all the amazing employees. You guys truly make the experience of going to this restaurant, what it is.
