    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.

    Chick'n pea mole

    La comida fue deliciosa y el restaurante tiene un ambiente bonito y relajado. Me encanto el mole!

    Marlin tacos and tostada de cueritos

    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!!

    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!

    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!

    Avocado aguichile - uncooked mushrooms
    Alison G.

    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.

    Mushroom Posole, Carnita Tacos, Milanesa with mole and quinoa and a Mango Tea.

    This is a vegan restaurant that serves a lunch menu. This was my first time trying vegan dishes and it was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Staff were friendly and very helpful when explaining and answering questions about the menu. Would definitely recommend and come back again.

    Sopes with black beans instead of mushrooms

    Went for dinner two nights in a row because the food was so delicious. The service is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend their sopes and molesa.

    torta ahogada
    Claudia B.

    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 )

    Cauliflower wings (half buffalo, half bbq)
    Rish A.

    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). The prices are so reasonable & just loved the vibe here. Protect this place!!

    Tried this for the first time yesterday and it was amazing!!! Food was delicious, well priced and the service was excellent. Will definitely go back.

    What a Vibe! From Craft Beers and Tomahawk Steaks to simple…read moresnacks and chips, If you can't find something here that you like, you're hopeless! And their BBQ selections should not be missed. Be aware that the prices throughout the complex are closer to the prices in Los Angeles. From the $6usd grilled cheese sandwiches to the $9.50usd base cocktails/well drinks depending on currency exchange rates. And the Valet is $4usd

    We decided to try this place due to the good reviews, but I have to say we were very disappointed…read more Good: * The choices and food very diverse. * The environment was OK. * The wine, selection and beer IPA sour beer was good. * Good aesthetics inside. * Valet parking. Bad: * Very, very hard to find a table. * The food prices are very expensive for the quality of mediocre food and drinks. * We only ordered six pieces of oysters and two shrimp tostadas. It took over 30 minutes to get our food. It took too long. * The Customer service while ordering food was so bad it seemed like they didn't even care about our order. * I feel bad for the waiters and waitresses delivering food because they were running around looking for the numbers on the table. I know that it can be very frustrating and chaotic. * Not a good place for large parties due to the very limited seating. * Not very children friendly, more for an adult environment. * But the worst of it was the parking, it was very bad and hard to find, you might have to park more than two blocks away to find any parking. Conclusions: we were very disappointed and not a good experience. Most likely we will not be coming back.

    IM SAD...... This place was the greatest taco spot in TJ , I…read moreused to Brag about this place and feel so bold and confident that I had the one place that could get any body hooked on TJ style tacos.!!! NAZO!!! They have this lemonade with Chia that's better than Mexican (which sounds insane) My Goto is one Chirizo Vampido and one Birra Queso Taco Harina tortillas Por Favor... oh... Una Adobada Vampido Mas Firto Carne...(I always act like I forget I want adobada haha) Any way!! Good times that will last forever here at NAZO!!! WE LOVE TACO NAZO!

    I'm so happy I happened upon this place! I originally chose this restaurant because in Los Angeles…read morethere's a popular spot with the same name so I was hoping there would be a correlation here. And so there was! Haha, all the tacos I ordered were so delicious! I especially enjoyed the adobada taco. When we ordered we told the kind server we wanted our tacos with everything (con todo). The adobada taco was super flavorful, juicy and addicting. It came with a complementary cilantro-looking sauce that made the taco even better. The Suadero was soft and flavorful as well with a spicy kick. The Asada was flavorful and came with lots of guacamole/avocado. They also give you a small plate full of limes and slices of radishes to enjoy with your food/tacos. It is a very spacious restaurant with a VIP side (maybe for locals or etc) and a regular side. Although they don't have beer they had a fridge filled with refreshing soft drinks. I highly recommend you try this place just a hop across the border, it is only a short uber ride away.
