Poblano Chilaquiles WOW!
Andrew W.

OMG. The Poblano Chilaquiles could be the best chilaquiles in the world! Certainly best I've ever had. I think I'm in love with the chef;-) What a fun place to eat, have a cerveza, hangout and play games (large jenga and corn hole). Highly recommend for sure!

Mezcalita & ginger Jamaica
Leslie C.

Gorgeous little area with a nice variety of food. We tried half mole poblano and half mile oxaqueño chilaquiles and these came with a side of frijoles. Absolutely delicious! The plate presentation was great as well. We also tried a crepa with cream cheese and lechera with strawberries on top. Soooo good! The fruit was super fresh. For drinks we tried the mezcalito and a ginger Jamaica. Very fresh and with just the right amount of sweetness on both. Love the entire concept of the place, this is a great place to come when you want to treat yourself to yummy food from small businesses that care about quality and service. This place has outdoor and indoor seating. Huge Jenga wooden blocks, as well as other outdoor games available. Pet friendly!

Tijuana is the new place for food! The city can be a little overwhelming to drive and there are so many options it's hard to know where to start. Luckily many food parks have popped up giving you the opportunity to try many options in one spot. Food Garden was the first of its kind. The place gives new chefs opportunities to showcase thier concept and become known, so they can have a base to open a permanent location. That means the options rotate which means there's always something new to try. There are always innovative taco options. I met my mom and brother there. We reach ordered at different stall and shared. They have beer too! Nice outdoor seating is a great spot to watch people. They food park sits on a restaurant row featuring high end and casual eateries. Food Garden keeps Tijuana Tasty!

Crepe de rajas
Frankie M.

Usually come here for the tacos and for the crepes, which are always on point. Tacos are pretty good, crepes are awesome. Definitely recommend trying it at least once.

This feels quite like an LA-influenced hang out spot, their blue wall is particularly instagram worthy! It's quite similar to the Gastro park but i like the Gastro park more, the food is descent, also good drinks choices, located in a more urban and commercial part of town, which is convenient

Best chicken chilaquiles I've ever had. Great outdoor concept. Lots of options for everyone.... and cheap. This cost only 85 pesos.
Kristen B.

Best chilaquiles I've ever had. There's about 9 food stations to choose from. There's something for everyone. I'll be back to try Veggie Smalls. Everyone is friendly and the food is made fresh to order.... and so cheap....

This was the best steak ever
Nicole A.

Almanara I paid 13$ for the best steak I've ever had in my life...it was on a grill in a food truck and it melted in my mouth. It came with really delicious mashed potatoes, but that steak was to die for.

Amazing food!!! I was looking for vegetarian options while in Tijuana and food garden came to the rescue with amazing options. Definitely a must go to place for vegetarians and vegans who find themselves in Tijuana.

Pulpoenchilado
Trina L.

Pulpoenchilado! Damn, that thing was delicious! There was fresh, roasted octopus with various condiments; red onions, avocado slices, mayo and all these yummies in a fresh backed crusty roll. There were different condiments including a spicy mayo, a chocolaty tasting sauce, a chimichurri type of sauce and a tamarind sauce. All the flavors mixed well together; there were subtleties and different textures that made the picudita even better than it was. I also ordered the jamaica tea; like a hibiscus Arnold Palmer. The service was nice and friendly. It had a co-op food feel. There were different types of food within this food garden but we decided on the pulpoenchilado. Definitely would like to go back to try the other stalls when I decide to visit TJ again. Everyone was very friendly and courteous! very welcoming place to be!

Love there presentation, Carne Asada Picudita served in empty tin can & that's a watermelon & mint auga fresca!!!
Elias C.

Wow what a concept. Food Garden open air market, with six different food vendors and a bar. There's plenty of seating and plenty of parking it is attached to the food garden do not park outside, there's a parking attendant always there. Today I tried Picuditas , I ordered a Carne Asada Picuditas, it's a gourmet torta on a ciabatta style bread, filled with carne asada, Pickled red onions, avocado, Oaxaca cheese. They offer six homemade salsas. Delicious!! I'm coming back for the octopus one- they sold out. You get a ticket and you pay at the bar at the bar they have beer, soda and homemade augas frescas made with purified water, I had cucumber lime and then I had to get the watermelon mint one, very refreshing.

Hot Dog Factory - Se ubican en Otay Universidad

Hot Dog Factory

4.8(5 reviews)
3.6 km•Mesa de Otay

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!

This is a fantastic option for Tamales. I love tamales, they're almost always delicious but there…read moreare some that are a step above, like those that my mother in law and a couple of other close family members are capable of making. And that's what these tamales taste like to me. The masa is more flavorful than a typical tamale in my experience, and all the ingredients are fresh, just wonderful food. You will usually want to get there early to have a good choice of what you get and they don't always come out right away, so you might find yourself waiting. That's o.k. Patience is a virtue in this life and you might find yourself getting some of the best home made style tamales if you have some. :-) Also, this is a food stand, I don't believe they have any place to eat here so ambiance isn't a thing, the parking can be a little tough but not usually a big deal.

This is a stand in front of their home. A mother and daughter were helping us, and they were both…read morevery nice and friendly. The tamales were excellent! Unfortunately, they had already run out of the chicken and beef tamales. There was also a mix-up with our order. We were told we had two chicken, six cheese, and four pork tamales, but when we got home, we actually had one chicken, seven pork, and four cheese. The cheese tamales were incredible, though! The churros were okay. I thought they were homemade, but I think they may be frozen churros with different fillings. Overall, the tamales were delicious. I just need to go earlier next time so I can get the flavors I want!

First time visiting TJ in years and it was so much fun! I love a good food market hall, and I had…read moreno idea Telefónica even existed. It reminds me of some of the big food halls in Los Angeles (Grand Central Market, Haven City, etc.) packed with delicious food and beverage options. Just a quick Uber ride from the border and you can be munching on fresh ceviche and savoring an ice cold glass of house-made sangria. That's exactly what we ordered! I appreciated the option for indoor or outdoor seating. Since it was an extremely hot and humid day, we opted to sit inside, where the fans were a lifesaver. We ordered drinks at the bar inside and then picked up food from one of the several vendors outside. The staff was welcoming and checked on us several times, even offering our group a large table upstairs, which was a considerate touch. From coffee to pastries, sweets, snacks, wine, beer, seafood, pizza, and everything in between, Telefónica is a great way to start or end your day in TJ. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in town!

This place is amazing. Disregard any bad reviews that you may see…read more the truth is they have so many different types of food here, the biggest problem is deciding which one you want to eat. My advice, take a cheap UBER instead of driving as parking is not fast. When you arrive take a walk though quickly to get a lay of the land and see what the options are. Maybe grab a michelada on the way in since the bar is right there. I'd pick one or 2 or 3 places to try as long as what you order fits together. the last thing you'd want to eat would be a taco and a hot dog. BE MINDFUL: Realize you are in Mexico. This place wasn't really made for tourists, it's more of a local spot and it's pretty safe. That being said they don't usually care too much about dealing with complaints. Take breath a little bit Karen and enjoy the experience. The tables are open seating, so maybe while you grab food, send your friend to find a table. they also had a cat there that was so chill and wanted to be pet.
