This place is awesome. We recently moved to La Mision. The restaurant is down the hill from our home. The owner is very nice. The servers are great. I am trying to figure out why people have rated $$, it should be $. The 4 of us can eat for less than $20 (including beverages). read more

Maganas is a place you just have to visit if in the La Mision area. We stayed there in a beach house for a week, and ate there twice. Dog friendly, they have a few outdoor tables that can get a bit dusty, but still nice. Burritos: We got a few breakfast burritos with sausage and bacon. These are huge. No one was able to even finish half of one in one sitting. A lady makes the tortillas by hand, and you can watch while you wait. My only gripe with these tasty burritos is the volume of potatoes. Tons, tons of potatoes. Carnitas: We ordered a kilo to take back to the house. Good, extremely tender, but better crisped up in oil to get those tasty bits. Came with tortillas and salsas that were also good. Tacos: Crispy shell carne asada, quite full of meat, and meat all crisped the way I like it. Very tasty tacos. Chilaquiles: Excellent! I am a huge fan of green chilaquiles, and these did not disappoint. Over easy eggs, beans, lots of cheese, sliced onion. Awesome! The bar: Yes, they have a full bar attached. Very good margaritas, super cold beer, very good bloody marys... A round of four drinks was ten dollars. Yes. Ten dollars. This place has an extensive menu, all cash only, so bring dinero. They accept US dollars. Service is very friendly. read more

headed out of the guadalupe valley...needed to use the bathroom...this looked like a solid stop. I wasn't hungry...but if i'm gonna use their restroom...i felt only right in ordering food... we had an adobada taco and carne asada taco plus a quesadilla (for me). i took a nibble of the meat from each taco...super good and flavorful! i loved my quesadilla...it was huge and i could barely eat 1/2. the tortilla tasted super fresh... the salsa's kicked butt!! they had a red and a green...i tasted both and loved them both...but then i mixed them together on my plate and damn was that delicous!!! yup...stop in for potty and a snack there was a bar attached and it looked pretty darn cool and old skool! read more

As far as Mexican food goes it's mediocre. We got the carnitas which was average, Rice tasted old, tortillas were avg. Michelada was great. Tips: They don't take credit cards and they charge 10p to use their bathroom. read more

It never ceases to amaze me when I "google" the Internet, how little specific information there is about "real" restaurants, where "real" people, not tourists, prefer to dine. Such is the case with Magana's Tacos Restaurant Bar, located along Free Mexico Highway 1, in the small town of La Mision, about a half hour south of Tijuana. Magana's Tacos Restaurant Bar is located at KM 65, in the small town of La Mision, on the west side of FREE Mexico Highway 1. Most visitors take the scenic toll road, on the fast-track to Ensenada, but I prefer the back roads. Although Mgana's caters to highway traffic, which produces many tourists, the restaurant serves delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine, which makes a stop for breakfast totally worthwhile. Yes, Magana's is not located in Tijuana, but it is located within the Tijuana Municipality. Magana's features an open kitchen that is easily photographed. Many restaurants in Mexico feature open kitchens, or if the kitchen isn't open, all you have to do is walk in, take a photo, and leave. In the 40+ years I've visited Mexico, I've only been kicked out of a kitchen only a handful of times. My breakfast was not on the menu, so I just told them what I wanted, which is the customary thing to do in Mexico. Gee, I'm glad I know something about Mexican culture! My breakfast of corn tortillas, refried beans, fried potatoes, chorizo and two eggs over easy. This is my favorite breakfast! In Mexico, as in the U.S.A., most folks like their chorizo scrambled with the eggs, but I prefer eggs over easy, and I like the chorizo separate. So, I just tell my server, and I get it, "my way!" Magana's Tacos Restaurant Bar serves a great breakfast! As I was sitting in my car, taking notes, a gentleman approached me, and in broken English, asked me why I was taking photos. He identified himself as the owner of the restaurant, and I, basically, attempted to explain to him my mission, what I do, and how it actually benefits him. He either didn't get it, or was in a bad mood, so I left with a not-so-happy impression, and I probably won't return to the restaurant, for that reason. read more

Great spot in La Mision. Casual, great food, quick service and great prices. Definitely worth another trip.

Wife and I stopped in for breakfast, heard by word of mouth. We both had more than we could eat in a sitting. Everything we tasted was fantastic, from the eggs to the beans and potatoes. Wife loved her chorizo and eggs, and I enjoyed my chilliquilles. If you have the means, I highly recommend. read more

Not sure why this place is rated so highly. The food is nasty, the service is mediocre and there is NO view. Won't be back read more

Tacos, carnitas and chilaquiles were fantastic. My kids loves their queso birrias. Café con canela was delicious

Delicious home made food. Our group had breakfast here and it was all delicious. We highly recommend the chilaquiles. The home made flour tortillas were great. read more

Don't let the outside fool you this place is delicious!!!!! And great prices! I had the Chile relleno with a tamal and it was delicious! My husband and I paid about $13 dollars for our breakfast the most inexpensive place we've been too but the most delicious!! read more

This is a favorite restaurant for us. We been coming here since 2009 and have NEVER been disappointed. If you like a quiet atmosphere and local ambiance with great tasting food at local (non-tourist) prices, then this is the place for great food and the bar is always ready to serve. We used to come here to eat and work since they have WiFi but now days whenever down in the area to our condo we always make it a point to do breakfast, lunch or dinner and sometimes all 3. You want a taste of friends and family in Baja, try Maganas. You won't regret. Just remember to bring pesos or dollars, they don't do credit but at the cost of their meals you won't need a credit card to get affordable, delicious and home made cuisine. read more

This road side diner is more valuable with its good than its looks, but the service is impeccable and smiley. Great first night in Mexico!

The staff is so wonderful. What a nice neighborhood place, and so inexpensive! The food was awesome. The quesadillas were huge, the chile relleno was delicious, the tacos were perfect. The woman taking care of us was delightful, everyone was so nice. Super casual, but a best-kept-secret kind of place. We will be back!! read more

Easy to find which is always a plus! Ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and it was seriously amazing! The burritos are big enough to share (not that I did). While waiting for my food saw their chilaquiles plate and that thing was huge and looked delicious. They are very generous with the amount of food they give. Coffee was great also had cafe de olla (coffee with cinnamon). Ladies were super nice. Totally recommend this place. read more
