Tacos El Chiapas

Zona Centro

Tacos El Chiapas is located in Tijuana's Zona Centro, downtown, at the corner of Calle 3 and Av…read more Martinez, across from the imposing Banco Azteca building. This small Mexican diner is staffed by three friendly chefs, who serve amazing tacos, and will keep you entertained and laughing. The "kitchen," if you want to call it that, is a street vendor cart with a flat tire, that has been moved inside the building, and serves as the main kitchen, order counter, and pay station of the restaurant. There is a "compact" menu posted on the wall, but if you want something different, all you have to do is ask, and these guys will do their best to prepare your order, depending on what they have on hand. The sous chef, working the trompa and toasting corn tortillas on the griddle was a master at cutting meat, and a master with his knives! "Mr. Sharp Knives" was also was a stand-up comedian wannabee, as he kept me laughing by his antics and he loved all of the attention that I gave him. Actually, all three guys that were working at the restaurant on this early October evening were funny and very friendly, and my visit to Tacos El Chiapas was a lot of fun. I might add that since this restaurant is a couple blocks off Av. Revolucion, the magnet for tourists, don't expect to speak English. A rudimentary knowledge of Spanish will enhance your dining experience, and the staff will treat you like family. I went with two of the best carne asada tacos, ordered off the posted menu, that you'll find in Zona Centro, at a bargain price. Each taco included a generous portion of marinated carne asada - marinated steak - perfectly cooked on the griddle and placed on a bed of two toasted corn tortillas. The steak is juicy, tender, and is spiced just right for my taste. I might add that these aren't small, "street tacos," as the corn tortillas were much larger, so you get a taco that's more than just a snack. Garnishes included diced onion, chopped cilantro, along with lots of creamy, in-house-made guacamole, the sort of guacamole that makes Tijuana famous. If you care to pile other garnishes on your tacos, there are more available at the condiment bar, but these tacos are so good they don't need anything else. One bite into one of these tacos, and you'll be a forever believer in Tacos El Chiapas, as the tacos are juicy, amazing, and feature the perfect balance between meat, tortilla and garnishes. These tacos are amazing! When you're in the mood for amazing tacos, and you're taking the hike into downtown Tijuana, take a little detour onto Calle 3, and stop by Tacos El Chiapas, for some of the best tacos in Tijuana. Alright, this is little diner isn't fancy, as it's just a small, "hole-in-the-wall" restaurant, open to the street, in true Tijuana fashion. I'm giving them five stars, as the food is amazing, the prices are downright "cheap/amazing," and the three chefs who operate this fine restaurant are as friendly as it gets. 5 stars!!!

Loncheria Las Rosas - This shot was taken at the extreme rear of the diner, and gives a good idea of the compact size of the restaurant.

Zona Centro

Friendly people are priceless, and are truly a gift from God, and in Tijuana, you won't friend any…read morefriendlier folks than the ladies that work at Lonchería Las Rosas, located in Tijuana's Zona Centro. In October, 2018, on a beautiful Sunday morning, I had the pleasure of enjoying a large bowl of some of the best menudo in Tijuana at Las Rosas, and getting the opportunity to know Olivia and Melissa, the friendly staff who run the restaurant. Lonchería Las Rosas is located in a tiny, hole-in-the-wall store, with a front to the sidewalk of maybe 12 feet wide. It's located on Av. Negrete, just a few doors south of Calle Articulo 123, which is the route that most American tourists take when they walk from the border to downtown Tijuana to party. I doubt that many gringos even notice Lonchería Las Rosas, must less stop in. Lonchería Las Rosas has a slogan painted on their sign which reads, "Comida Corrida y A La Carta," which translates to "fast food and a la carte." Like many small diners in Tijuana, and Mexico, the restaurant is open to the street for your dining pleasure. Lonchería Las Rosas does not have a posted menu, and they serve typical Mexican diner fare of menudo, pozole, beans, eggs, bacon chorizo, tamales, and of course, tacos. The friendly manager of the restaurant, Olivia was quick to point out to me that she'll be happy to prepare for me anything that I want. Next trip, I plan to stop by and enjoy a plate of bacon, beans, eggs and corn tortillas, which is one of my favorite breakfasts. Speaking of menu... like most small loncherias in Mexico, there is no printed menu. If you something in mind, just ask the friendly staff. If they have the ingredients on hand - which is most likely - they'll cheerfully fill your order. Another thing to consider... you're in Mexico, and you'll enoy your visit a lot more if you speak at least a little Spanish, and the staff will treat you like family when you speak the language of Mexico. On this Sunday morning, I went with a bowl of some of the best menudo that you'll find in Tijuana, from Loncheria Las Rosas. I've already added onion, chili pepper, cilantro and lime juice to enhance this amazing bowl of menudo. Olivia keeps a big pot of menudo simmering on the back burner of their range, and she starts the day very early in the morning to get the menudo going. Her efforts is worth it, as this menudo features savory, brick-red broth, lots of tripe, and lots of hominy, which make for a great bowl of menudo. Add to the t.l.c. and charm that Olivia adds, and you have an academy award-winning bowl of menudo. My breakfast was a huge bowl of menudo, with all of the garnishes, and a stack of corn tortillas, which I paid MEX $48.00 for, which is slightly over US $4.00; quite a bargain. Lonchería Las Rosas does not make the tortillas in-house, but the tortillas are purchased fresh from a nearby tortilla. Olivia told me that she sends Melissa over to the torterilla several times a day when they start running low on tortillas. The menudo came from a big pot that was simmering on the stove, and Olivia told me that she had made the menudo earlier in the day. It has been a long time since I had enjoyed a breakfast of delicious menudo, and the menudo served at Lonchería Las Rosas is some of the best that I've ever tasted. Both ladies smiled and thanked me when I told them how delicious the menudo was. They were so friendly and nice that I left a 5 dollar bill as a tip. Loncheria Las Rosas is as good as it gets, as the staff is amazingly friendly, the food is delicious, the price is beyond reasonable, and the diner is a neighborhood "hang-out" for all the locals, who enjoy great conversation and great food. When you're in the mood for amazing Mexican diner cuisine, pay a visit to Loncheria Las Rosas, in Tijuana's Zona Centro. This isn't a fancy restaurant, as it's just a hole-in-the-wall Tijuana diner. But the staff is SO friendly, the food is SO delicious, and the atmosphere is... priceless. Loncheria Las Rosas is 5 star in my book!
