This place is fantastic!…read more My wife ordered the pulled pork bbq sandwich (which came with french fries). The bbq pork was delicious, very high quality, and was very "soft". The french fries were some of the best we've had - cooked enough to be slightly "crispy" - and the seasoning they used was amazing. I ordered bbq beef ribs, which were cooked to perfection. Sides included a corn on the cob, and cole slaw. Both were very good. Our server was friendly, and attentive. He brought us beers along with a chilled glass mug. The restaurant (and the kitchen - which you could see) was very clean. You can tell that they take cleanliness seriously, and it's nice to see. The prices were very reasonable considering the quality (and large servings) of the food. Note: The restaurant is located in the "La Presa" area of Tijuana - which is not the safest. Day time won't be a problem, but I'd suggest not going at night - unless you live in the area. I can't believe I'm the first person to review this excellent restaurant on Yelp. If you do a Google search, you'll find many reviews (all positive) on some of the other review sites. All reviewers basically say the same great things. Over the last couple of years, my wife and I have tried a few different "highly rated" bbq restaurants in Tijuana - but this one is much better! If you live in Southern California, you might be familiar with Lucille's BBQ. La Presa BBQ has the same quality as Lucille's - for about one-third of the money. Therefore, we highly recommend this restaurant - and consider it to be the best bbq in Tijuana.

Mac and his crew showed up right on time, were incredibly professional, and came fully prepared with everything needed for catering. The food was fantastic and they kept the line moving smoothly all night. More people showed up than we had originally anticipated, and while I was getting nervous, Mac handled everything with total grace. He was prepared and made sure we were still able to feed everyone without any issues. I would highly recommend Hefty Boy BBQ Catering to anyone looking for a reliable and delicious caterer.

Love, love, love the seasonings used on the chicken. I must admit I'm addicted to the chicken! The owner John and his wife Doreena are awesome and very friendly which makes all the difference and you do look forward to coming back.

No no its not a go!!! warm welcoming but It wasn't enough…read morefor me. We went to eat some protein! We kept having to flag down a waiter or one of the people handling the meat carvings. The selection of meat was very basic. I def should have checked on that before considering going. We kept getting offered sausage, tripe and burnt chicken. All those meats were over cooked for my liking. We also got picana and asked for filet mignon asked for medium, came out ok but burnt edges. It made it hard to eat. The carving portions were small kinda annoying to have to constantly wait or flag down a server for more. The meat was bland not even a little salt and pepper. Just not it. The buffet part was def not up to parr either. The salads look unappetizing, old. Same goes with all or most of the dishes that were offered. Ceviche, pastas, meat dishes. The kid friendly options were ok but even my kids didn't approve the pasta. We also had sangria which was ok, tasted more like a sour sparkling water. We didn't get a drink menu so we just kinda asked what they offer and opted for sangria. They have a kids room with an attendant which was pretty cool. It's the only reason my kids want to go back. The ambiance is decent. Not too loud, TVs around gave it a bar feel a bit. I wasn't expecting that. I believe the place is priced a little more on the higher side for what they offer. It didn't meet my expectations in food or service. I think it would be helpful to keep a better eye on buffet food. Wilted salads are not a good look. Provide more communication on what is offered for protein in this case. I don't go to Tijuana too often but when I do, I try a new restaurant. Stay tune for the next one.

This family makes legit smoked meat!! I'm a bbq snob that always struggles to find great bbq and smoked meats in SD. Most of my family lives in Texas so we usually load up on brisket and ribs when we go. Now we don't have to go that far. Got the ribs today. Great smoke ring, terrific flavor, very juicy, and the bbq sauce is delicious and doesn't try to steal the show. He let me try the brisket too, and it is amazing. I'll get that next time. Potato salad is a great side. We will be coming back many times! Go out of your way to try their bbq. Outstanding!!!

Sausage was also very good. Juicy, a little bit of spice and smokey. Chicken was also very good. Bone-in chicken thighs with a good but not overwhelming char. Retained much if its moisture. Pulled pork was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad but overshadowed by the other phenomenal items. Sauce was good. Too full to eat the sides so I can't comment on that. Amazing food. Great value. Big fan.
