    Banh Mi tacos are good & the Pho is good.

    Banh Mi tacos are good and so is the Pho. Staff is friendly. Place is small but nice.

    As an on-again off-again vegetarian I really appreciate when a restaurant takes the time to perfect the meat-less options, which are almost always limited. It used to be really hard to find decent vegetarian options in Tijuana a couple of years ago, I'm glad to see that's not the case anymore. The Pequeño Saigón is a great addition to the list of amazing restaurants in town. It's a Vietnamese restaurant, so if you are down with pho and spring rolls this is the place for you. Personally I'm a fan of the veggie pho (Pho Vegetariano) , it's quite delicious and full of veggies (duh) and tons of noodles. I also tried the fried tofu (platillo de tofu) which was seasoned perfectly. The great thing about this place is that it is open late, last time I was there the sever informed us that they close at 2am, which is pretty ideal for an after-party fancy meal. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Overall, I'd recommend this place to anyone who's in the mood for some pho-ntastic food.... he he he he

    It's a little place at Plaza Del Zapato, I was just wondering to see the bars and I came across this place I really enjoyed the pho It was very good, I will definitely go back.

    They know what they're doing at Pequeño Saigon! Very surprised to find this good Vetnamese food place in TJ! It's a tiny little hole in the wall restaurant that right in the center of Zona Rio in this little bar plaza...tried the banh mi tacos, they were soo good! The meat was rich in flavor and the spicy sauce/salsa that's given with the dish just takes it to another level of deliciousness! My husband tried the chicken and vegetables pho, super satisfying! I loved Banana dessert: flambé bananas covered in Lecherita (sweet condensed milk) and toasted coconut shavings, so simple and so mmm-mmm good!

    We live close by to a bunch of great veg/vegan Vietnamese restaurants so the idea of going to a Vietnamese place while in TJ wasn't all that exciting to me.

    Service impeccable! This was the second time I've been. We didn't realize "The Secret Garden" was a…read morehidden speakeasy within the same restaurant. Same menu, same venue, just hidden. 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.
