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.

This spot surplants Ben's Chili Bowl in Washington D.C. has the most memorable hot dog I've ever…read morehad. Would grade these gourmet dogs as the best overall that I've ever had and come at excellent value too! Stopped by most recently this past weekend while on vacation in the San Diego area. Humo is probably the most popular of the food trucks at Telefonica Gastro Park, primarily due to the tasty hot dogs! I almost always get the bacon dog but the pulled pork dog is excellent as well. The bacon hot dog comes loaded with bacon and other tasty seasonings. They also give you a complimentary side of corn flavored with cheese and another seasoning. I'm personally not big on corn but even I would have to admit it was super delicious with the seasoning. The entire plate comes out to only 90 pesos (around $4.50) which is obviously an excellent price for a meal. The dog is fairly filling - I was good after just one but many can probably eat two with no problem. The hot dog comes on what I think is a thicker, ciabatta bread. I think the bread is fine, though wouldn't consider it great... it's the meat and seasoning of the dog that stand out for me. They have a couple other hot dog types as well (besides bacon and pulled pork), but not being a Spanish speaker I couldn't interpret - you'd have to check the menu. They seem to always have at least one staff fluent in English who can help you through the selections. IMO, this spot is a must visit for any foodie/meat lover visiting TJ!

BBQ with a Mexican twist!…read more Humo is a stick to your ribs kind of food. Heavy, but filling. It's located inside the Telefónica food hall on the right hand side in the outdoor patio area. I went with a pork bratwurst style sausage with pulled pork on top. Double the oink power! I don't really need to explain this dish. Pork sausage, pickled veggies, cojita cheese, corn, and then pulled pork. All of this heaven inside a pillowy soft bun. Hubba hubba! The food came out fast and it was delish. Telefónica can be overwhelming as far as food options go. So if this is your first time here, Humo is a solid option and won't disappoint! Party on!

I tried the fish tacos, culichi bowl, seafood tacos, and consomé. The culichi bowl was loaded with seafood and sauce, and the tacos were delicious! Everything I tried made this visit worthwhile. If you're exploring San Diego and looking for a seafood and taco spot to add to your food lineup, give Mariscos El Prieto a try. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

My bf and I stopped by Mariscos y Birrieria El Prieto on a Sunday morning and one of our favorite…read moreYouTubers suggested it. Ambiance: The place was busy but not overwhelmingly crowded. Just a heads up before you go, there is no seating. It's a standing-room-only setup with barrel tables throughout the outdoor space. You order from one of the trucks, find a place to stand, and enjoy your food. The atmosphere felt lively and authentic, making it part of the experience. Service: Service was quick and efficient despite the crowd. There was even someone helping direct parking, which made arriving and finding a spot much easier. Food: The complimentary consommé completely stole the show for me. It was rich, flavorful, and packed with chunks of seafood. Every bite had a deep, savory flavor with just the right amount of spice. It was honestly my favorite thing we tried. We ordered the Gobernador, the Negrita, and fish tacos. The Gobernador was loaded with shrimp and melted cheese, creating the perfect combination of rich, savory seafood flavor. The shrimp tasted incredibly fresh and was cooked perfectly. The Negrita was another standout, piled high with shrimp, sliced avocado, and topped with an oyster that added even more fresh ocean flavor. It was served with tostadas on the side, and every bite was packed with bold seasoning, fresh seafood, and great texture. The fish taco was good and made with fresh ingredients. My bf and I are big foodies and have eaten a lot of fish tacos over the years, so we're probably tougher critics than most. While it wasn't our favorite item of the meal, it was still enjoyable, and the Gobernador and Negrita were the clear standouts for us. While the prices are a little higher, the quality, freshness, and portion sizes help justify it. Overall, this was a great experience from start to finish. Between the flavorful seafood, and generous portions, it's definitely worth coming back again.

I've gone too so many places where service is amazing but the food is just meh. Why waste your time in opening up a restaurant excellent service but no FLAVA in yo food. But yes, the service here is parallel to its appetizing food. But let me give you a guide of what to get, ummmm everything! Jk. Everything is good but I'd go with the agua chile and/or shrimp tacos. Mouthwatering I tell you. Just make sure to specify the spicy level as things can get spicy really fast. The times that I've come here I've had to use my Spanish so not sure if they speak English. But learning Spanish for such amazing food is a small price to pay. Which reminds me about price; I believe it varies on the seafood market price, but it's definitely worth every peso.

When I first tried an aguachiles dish (by Rick Bayless, go figure), it consisted of raw yellowtail submerged in an acidic lemon juice and seasoned lightly with salt. NO chili pepper in the juice! A far cry from traditional! The aguachiles here is as traditional as they come. I selected a mild (1 chili pepper) and the TJ Queen of Seafood (apparently) went to work, crushing a chili pepper with a pestle into my giant mortar bowl. She then squeezed in a bunch of limes, cut in some cucumbers and onions, and seasoned lightly before adding the raw shrimp. WOW! My aguachiles was served straight up in mortar! Shrimp was clean, there was a nice touch of heat, and the liquid was pleasantly acidic. If you want more heat, they even have a multitude of bottles (over 10) with different sauces lined up for you to choose from. I am quite ashamed to admit that I have not had enough traditional Mexican food even though I grew up in Chula Vista surrounded by a ton of them. I believe Aquachiles may have become a new favorite. Hopefully my next dish will be as good as the one I had here!
