Mexico Weekend Gem Right after crossing the border, this spot is tucked inside a plaza with paid parking (staff at the meter and visible security -- love that!). The staff here are beyond sweet -- so welcoming and helpful from start to finish. It's an all-vegan restaurant, and honestly, the food was incredible -- even the drinks were on point. I tried the marlin tacos, which had amazing flavor and perfect texture. I also went for a kombucha (their hibiscus flavor), and it was so refreshing. If you're doing a quick Mexico weekend trip, definitely stop here -- it's the perfect mix of good vibes, great service, and delicious plant-based food. read more

One of my go to spots whenever I'm in TJ. Food: I had the cauliflower wings which were very tasty and flavorful. The portion was big enough to fill me up by itself 5/5. The vegan pozole is delicious and flavorful. It is a little lacking in the variety though as it only has corn & mushrooms. I still love it though 5/5. Drinks: The lemonade soda was refreshing 5/5 Parking: there's plenty of paid parking in the lot and some street parking as well. read more

The place is small but very cute, I love the decor! The service was fantastic considering how busy they were so many people doing take out orders! Which is amazing that they were able to take care of us! Now the best part, the food. TJ has amazing food and this place blew my mind. I've been feeling very homesick and this place fixed me. The presentation of the food is amazing and so are the flavors! You cannot go wrong with anything here. If you're a vegan trying to figure out where to go, this is the place. read more

Food is amazing so much flavor. Easy 5 star not to many vegan places like this wish they were in the States.

It was just ok, nothing to rave about :/. We ordered House salad, not pictured Mix of cous cous with chickpeas and beans, fresh salad, lemon dressing. Romaine lettuce served as a base, it wasn't chopped up at all - literal spears made it a bit difficult to eat. The couscous was ok, the lemon dressing wasn't ok. It was oily and bland. Tostada de cueritos (pictured) Pickled sweet potato, black beans, lettuce and chipotle vegan mayo. The sweet potato had the consistency of cueritos but not pickled at all - there was no flavor. Tacos de Marlin (pictured) Fried corn tortilla filled with "marlin"soy with vegetables, chipotle vegan mayo and purple cabbage. They soy had an odd consistency, mushy texture was terrible. Bland, flavorless, not even salt saved them! Skip this place, plenty of other vegan restaurants in TJ with sabor y sazón!! read more

Great vegan food and super friendly service! Vegan chile en nogada was on point, we also really enjoyed cauliflower wings, milanesa and al pastor quesadilla - highly recommend all of it. read more

Fun vegan dishes served in all their glory. So happy I found this place in Yelp and in Tijuana it exists IRL( that's another story). We arrived hungry so We tried so many things and I tell you they were all amazingly delicious and beautifully presented. Only sad I found this place at the end of my 3 week trip. Large variety of menu options from mushroom pozole and ensaladas to burgers, tostadas and more. Great to bring your non vegan friend who will eat plant based fun foods My hubby loved the buffalo cauliflower bites while I preferred the bbq cauliflower bites. I loved the carrot and cucumber coin with ranch served with the cauliflower bites. Burger was crunchy and the bun was fluffy. Seems to be a good place to hang with friends, maybe even take a date. Table service in this adorable restaurant is kind and efficient. Some benches and ability to push tables together to move beyond 2 or 4 at a table. read more

Second time here and definitely have had great experiences. This time I started off with the sopa (tomato based) and it totally reminded me of sopa tarasca. Delicious. I was going to get the risotto for dinner (based on reviews) but the huarache was recommended and I'm very glad I ordered it. EVery bite was perfect. Servers are kind and hospitable. Prices are good. I am in Tijuana for work often and will be back! read more

First time ever in TJ and my boyfriend found this vegan spot. They're in a plaza type building with plenty of parking that you have to pay for during certain hours. Place is small but well laid out. Server seemed new as he was a little slow, but maybe that's just how service is in TJ? Food was delicious honestly. No complaints at all. They also had some really good kombucha and fresh juice available that we tried and loved! Everything was flavorful and fresh. Also the prices? Night and day from San Diego lol. We had an appetizer, shared 2 meals, had 2 drinks, and dessert for $33 USD! We had leftovers, so this was more than worth the price. Amazing place. Def recommend to anyone! read more

So thrilled that they have kombucha! And that they have recycled paper bags for the tortillas. Although I don't know why they don't just serve them on a plate! That would be much more eco-friendly. Unfortunately, I think I misordered. The mushrooms were not cooked in the avocado Agua Chile that I got, and I don't think a cold dinner was really what I needed at the time. I can't wait to go back and try something else. Super great staff. read more

Me encanta este lugar! Es la tradicion de mi papá y yo cada que vamos a Tijuana. Ordenamos tacos marlín para compartir. Mi papá ordenó su platillo favorito (enmolada) y yo probé la torta ahogada por la primera vez. Me gustó la torta pero estaba muy picante (y que a mí me encanta el picante ) read more

Soooo yummy & staff was so nice & helpful. We loved the carnitas tacos, drowning torta, buffalo & bbq cauliflower wings, & beans soup. I was trying to save room for dessert, but it was all too good & I ate too much, lol! Next time - dessert for sure, we'll be back here soon (worth the trip over from San Diego).

Best vegan restaurant in Tijuana! Inspired by traditional Mexican dishes, Inspiración 9 aways hits the spot! The Sopa de de Jarrito is my favorite appetizer, not only is it super tasty, but the waiter usually pours the achiote broth in front of you, making it an even more fun experience Some of my favorite dishes are: -Torta ahogada (I only wish it came with fresh veggies or a bit more crunch, but maybe it is not expected because of the nature of the dish) - Ceviche de coliflor (yum, vegan worcestershire sauce!) - Huarache de "carnitas" Aaaand for desert it's a must to get their vegan donuts from el burro rayado along with a house-made café de olla! Oh also the staff is highly trained, they respond things with professionalism, are bilingual and are very attentive to tables! Great job Inspiración 9! I can't wait to go back! read more

It's expensive for Mexican eats. The most delicious vegan food, our experience with the service was horrific. It's a 50/50. Foods amazing though! The burger was my favorite, the chips were very very crispy and perfect. The burger was quinoa and lentils. If I knew there was better service, I would make the trip again to get this meal again. read more

My mom and my husband finally agreed to come here and they loved it even though my mom is not vegan she was amazed by the "molesa in mole" and loved the place so much that we'll be coming back before she leaves TJ. I had the "carbon burger" and my husband had the classic burger all were delicious. Including our entré "tabla de setas". Definitely a place to impress meat eaters and non believers. Their dishes are nutritionally well balanced and the atmosphere is very enjoyable. Last but not least the staff is super friendly and attentive. I will keep coming here and recommending it. read more

Best food I've had on the west coast! Beat out the vegan places I've tried in San Diego easily. Great flavor.

Some of the best vegan food we've had. We live in Venice and Santa Monica, there are a ton of really good places but this one tops them all. Posole is really good, stuck to traditional taste without animal fat. Carnitas tacos were amazing and the charcoal burger was very good as well. The mole was also very good. read more
