    If you're vegan this will be heaven to you! We got the pizza and it was so freakin good. I'd definitely come back here again. Salad was basic but very interesting honey mustard dressing. Cucumber drink was a delight. Flan, not my favorite. The only thing I'd recommend is investing in eco friendly straws because their cups are VERY dirty and my cup had mold growing on the side of the plastic.

    Chilequiles with egg and beans. So good !

    You order downstairs from a limited menu and go upstairs to sit and eat. Meals are included with beverage and yogurt. Service was great. The lady downstairs that took our order was friendly and welcoming. Upstairs is a large area with natural light and music playing.

    Vegan pastel de 3 leches! Delicious!

    I was fortunate enough for my mom to surprise me with a vegan 3-leches cake from this bakery! She has brought other vegan pastries for me to try but the cake was definitely impressive! Sweet, but not overly sweet, moist, and delicious!! I cannot wait to visit this place in person!

    Creamy pea soup with melon juice.

    I love their set menu lunch special! It was my 2nd time there and their food is always so clean, healthy and tasty! Clearly everything is lovingly prepared! My 1st time meal was Chile Relleno. Omg! That was the bomb! You just tell at the register if you want vegan or vegetarian and you go upstairs and be served. Lunch starts from 12:30pm. Don't be fooled by the simple and plain look from outside. And do try their bakery for goodies for home!

    "Carne Asada" tacos with grilled cactus cucumber and radish. Dollop of guacamole and lime wedge.Cup of perfectly spiced bean soup.

    AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!!! Everyone was super nice. They have a bakery and grocery store when you enter the cafe. If you want to eat in the restaurant section you pay for the meal then eat upstairs. They have a great selection of pastries and everything is vegetarian or vegan. With the meal you can choose if you want vegan or non-vegan, they ask when you order. The meal came with cup of perfectly spiced bean soup the entree which was "Carne Asada" tacos side of grilled nopales radish and cucumbers, a cup of oat milk horchata, and dessert which was whipped cream topped with candied lime. It tasted like meringue pie topping. I was so full! And the price was great. This place is awesome!

    My breakfast!

    This place has everything for vegans! They have a bakery, restaurant and also a store all in one place. Their bakery has vegan options like pan dulce! Mmm, how I've missed it depending on which day you go they also have slices of cake, too! The first day that I went it was for breakfast and they have a vegan menu and a vegetarian menu! I chose the vegan menu and it's was about $7 for a pre-fixed menu that consisted of bread, atole and you can choose either machaca or chilaquiles I choose both and coffee. I was a little hesitant to order because the machaca was made out of soy (they use a lot of soy here so it's not the best option if you are allergic or avoiding it!) but it was so good and not like the soy used in California! At least my body didn't react harshly to the soy like it does when I consume it in the states, lol! The second day I went it for dinner and I ordered the machaca burritos with some beans again because they are sooo good! The store downstairs has everything from vegan pancakes to cacao flower,agave, kombucha, vegan whole wheat tortillas de arrina! You have to check out if you're in Tijuana! I'm definitely coming back to try the rest of their food!

Although the setting is attractive, we were seated outdoors with very little ventilation. The main issue was flies throughout the meal, landing on food and drinks, which made dining pretty uncomfortable. While the restaurant appears to aim for eco-friendly practices, the restrooms had a strong odor and did not feel well maintained. Service was another disappointment. Despite the busy atmosphere, the attention level felt mediocre. Ultimately, while the location has potential, the food quality and wine pairings did not feel aligned with the premium pricing. I'd recommend considering other local spots that offer a stronger overall dining experience

Everything is delicious: the crudo, salads, vegetables (especially the charred cabbage), the seafood, chicken, and local beef. Desserts are always exquisite too, and service excellent. Their current sommelier is wonderful, too. You can book on OpenTable, which is convenient. Also good for before or after wine-tasting at Bruma. It's one of the few restaurants open Monday and Tuesday, so are there for firm meetings in Nov. '23 and Nov. '24, and had a big multi-course dinner there w/ the firm a few years ago and just recently for 30+ people, and the food is always top notch. Just minus one star, because we tried to cancel once 3 weeks in advance, and they refused to return our deposit (the full amount, paid in advance).

Our server who was also the Manager of the restaurant was sincere, genuine, & provided us with the most incredible service. Forgive me as i am not 100% certain his name was Alfredo (or Alberto; lo siento). The double cheeseburger was good, not exceptional. The texture & flavor; delicious. I'm not certain that with all the cheese, the type of bun used, & the "meat" combine well. Conclusion is that the entire experience of trying to eat it as if it was a "cheeseburger" didn't really happen well. Again, it was still good. It just became a fork & knife meal. The Italian sub be mindful is served hot. We did not know that (prolly our fault for not reading it). Nevertheless I can assure you it would not have stopped me from ordering it! IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! It literally brought me back to a most incredible Italian sub that I used to order. O.M.G. It really was done right. The Cesar salad! Yes. Second best Cesar salad I've ever had. The dressing was incredible. I did forget to mention it was actually a "chicken" Cesar salad & the chicken was done exceptionally well! Side note: last time we were there we had sweet potato & regular fries, a cheese pizza, the chicken cheeseburger, & something else I can't remember at this time. We have almost tried the entire menu. One more trip over there & we will make it happen. Also, the cocktails are so tasty delicious. A significant amount of classic Mexican cocktails for your drinking pleasure. Oh yea, the kombucha too (& that's coming from someone who only liked Big Mountain Kombucha; until now). Thanks Team Gardeno. See you soon.
