I ordered a Ceaser's salad to go to check out what the fuzz was all about and I am so glad I yielded to temptation. This was hands down the best Ceaser's salad I have ever tried! In addition to the salad, bread and some olive tasing dip was given to me, but I could care less about the dip (not a fan of olives). I am looking forward to dining in during my next visitation, and watch the creation of the famous ceaser salad made before my eyes. read more

Restaurante Caesar's - Salad Near Me - Tijuana, BCN

We'd been coming steadily to Tijuana but for whatever reason we're never made aware of this place. It's reputed to have created the Caesar salad, and still presents it table side how it was always meant to be had. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because upon arrival, the hostess barely looked at us and she never smiled. We had to ask to be sat down and it looked like they had forgotten about us. She needs to look like she wants to at least be there, it's called hospitality. The food was amazing. We had the escargots, patatas bravas and the garlic shrimp. Was just amazing, very well done. The table side salad is a must, and you totally get why they've been doing it for that long. It was very good. We got the Fettuccine Alfredo and, although it was good, it wasn't my favorite. For drinks, I had 2 cocktails. The tamarindo margarita and a Manhattan.. Both were excellent and well executed. Ambiance is casual, not very formal but don't show up is your Tuesday afternoon best. Definitely try. Dim lighting, old school bar with a very respectable cocktail menu and clean cut waiters. I'll come again, maybe I'll try the dessert next time. They didn't get around to asking us in time so we'll save it for the next time we're in this part of town. read more

Agree with the other review that said it's a bit overrated. But nice experience overall mostly made up from the service atmosphere and variety of dishes. No way you're telling me that's the best salad you've had though read more

This is a really awesome experience in Tijuana. It's a nice restaurant with an old school Italian feel almost; definitely different than what I was expecting. They have both Spanish and English menus, which was great for my limited Spanish abilities. To start, we ordered the Pulpo Spicy. I'm not much of an octopus girl, but I had mentioned to an Uber driver in passing that I was heading to Mexico in the near future and he raved about it, so we ordered it. -- AMAZING. It had really great flavor, not super spicy, but it had enough kick with a refreshing green sauce to add on top. The texture of the octopus was definitely better than I anticipated also. I was expecting rough and chewy, and while it was more chewy than a chicken dish or a traditional fish dish would be, it was really not super noticeable at all. I really recommend trying it out if you stop by. Of course coming here implies you have to get their Caesar salad that they prepare tableside, so we did. The servers bring a rolling table over and mix the dressing right in front of you, which is a super cool experience. I also got the Penne a la arrabiata and it was soooooooooo good. Overall, I think this is a great stop if you find yourself in TJ. It is a nice break from the delicious Mexican food, and you can say you got a Caesar salad where the originated; in Tijuana (so interesting). read more

This review is being reluctantly drafted due to a horrible dining experience I had last night at Caesar's Tijuana during dinner service. The minimum star rating any food establishment should be awarded is 3 stars if they are trying, and a two stars if the staff were careless, inattentive, or did not provide a minimum service. When the food quality is sub-par it is my experience to give the kitchen one more chance without docking any stars. 1 star ratings are seldomly and reluctantly awarded. Last night, January 30, 2020 is a dinner service that I will never forget. I have dined at Caesar's Tijuana a dozen plus times in the last year and a half. So far, every experience has been an average experience. Last night, the dinner service was different, the staff were inhospitable, conflictive, and were caustic in their demeanor towards myself and several other guests that were seated adjacent to my table. Apparently, the kitchen was running behind on some orders and the waiit staff were getting anxious because the kitchen was running behind. When I arrived, I was greeted, seated in a center section closest to the bar, and handed a menu. Because I have dined at Caesar's Tijuana on several occasions I already had my order lined up. Minutes later, I ordered a Caesar's salad, cocktail, a medium rare steak, and I ordered an appetizer to go. Well, both the salad and the appetizer were served at the same time, no worries, I can tackle both. The salad was prepared at my table, I enjoyed the amazing Caesar's salad. The appetizer was cold, greasy, and had what looked like some sour cream or dressing from another dish that had spilled or dropped on it. I immediately tasted the appetizer and sent the appetizer back because it didn't pass any of the three tests, it looked bad, it smelled bad, and it tasted bad. The moment I sent the appetizer back my waiter started ignoring me. Now the waiting game ensued. Cocktail was never served, my waiter passed me a dozen times in a half an hour, the cocktail, the medium rare steak and appetizer were never served. During that half an hour, I asked my waiter for my meal twice, I ordered another cocktail that also never served. After a half an hour of waiting with no service, I asked for my bill. Surprise! Bill included two cocktails, a salad, an appetizer, and a steak. The only items I received were the salad and the appetizer which I immediately sent back. Taking into account this new level of pettiness, I spoke to the manager who repeatedly apologized about the kitchen being slow, he was nice enough, but he ordered me to pay the full bill and wait for my steak to boxed as a to go order. I asked for the appetizer to be removed from my bill, request denied. I then asked for the appetizer to be served or boxed to go, the manager agreed, but that never happened, because after another half an hour of waiting at the bar, my steak and appetizer were never served. I was billed for a medium rare steak, a caesars salad, an appetizer and two drinks. Award given to Caesar's management for this new level of sub-par and lackadaisical pettiness. I spent an hour and a half waiting for my meal. Waiter acted like he was doing me a favor by taking my order. The manager and the waiters act like best friends and they make rude and sexually explicit comments of the females that dine at the restaurant. Where I was seated, I could clearly hear the explicit comments made by the waiters of an older lady that was three tables away. I agree that the lady looked great, but the comments made were college fraternity grade explicit, and involved two of the waiters explicitly having their way with the lady. Inappropriate. Borderline gross. I would not expect these comments from two waiters at Caesar's Tijuana. Please have management step up the food service, and teach the waiters that customers are always listening. While at work, sexually explicit jokes should not be made of female customers, especially when other customers are listening. Caesar's Waiters, rude and disrespectful sexually explicit comments, shame on you! Shame on you! read more

honestamente las ensaladas no me gustaron lol. el servicio muy equis y el ambiente equis también. No creo que regrese.

Visited Caesar's with a friend on July 29th and was favorably impressed! The famous Caesar Salad is the main attraction...it was first prepared and served at the restaurant in 1924. Started off with Tortilla Soup which was spicy and had a rich flavor...the best I have ever had! Followed by the tableside-prepared Caesar Salad...excellent crisp salad with tasty original dressing! Had the Duck Stuffed Tortellini as the entree...it was also excellent! I would highly recommend Caesar's for both quality and price...lunch for two, including two alcoholic drinks each, was $55.00...something you would never accomplish in the United States! Crossing the border can be the only drawback, since weekend traffic (both walking and driving) can be very busy. I would suggest going on a weekday to avoid the long wait coming back into the U.S. read more

So this place is historic, been around since the 1920's. Atmosphere is great, servers were humble and friendly and have probably been working there forever. Food was EH, it was ok, not great but ok. Prices were really good, I had a fish dish served in green sauce and it was only like $11. read more

As my husband and I were walking to see the Arch, we spotted this place. We had to try the place where the Caesar salad was created. Once you place your order, the dressing for your salad is made table side. Watching the server put the time and effort put into this dressing is amazing. After the dressing is done, the server lightly tosses the romaine lettuce leaves in the creamy-looking dressing and serves it to you with a garlic crouton. What a flavorful and great salad. The best Caesar salad I've tasted by far. Heads up!! English is very limited here, so brush up on your Spanish before visiting. read more

Wow, terrific service. Want the complete, white linen service complete with black suited waiters? Add in excellent food, classic ambience, lovely music and outstanding polished wood throughout. Food: the French onion soup sparkled with a bit of sherry, classic topping of large crouton and cheese. The Caesar salad made fresh at the table. The grilled octopus was the highlight of the meal, flash grilled, tender and smoky on a bed of wonderful. The fresh bread at the table was accompanied by an olive tapenade, instead of butter. The paella tapa filled with shellfish, quite flavorful. Beef Wellington was slightly overdone. As it was the last of my meal, was not finished. A leisurely meal, would love to eat here often. Although a very short drive from my home, I have never eaten here before. Will definitely be back very soon! read more

Caesar's provides the absolute best food and best service you could expect from any restaurant. Ask for Jesus as your waiter (he's the best). The house beer is excellent, as is the Caesar Salad. Hell, this is where the Caesar salad was invented. Do yourself a favor and upgrade your bread the the "pan con mantequilla y queso". Every main course I've tried has been excellent. Be sure to order an ABC (amaretto, Bailey's & cognac) drink after dinner. That goes well with the crepes for desert. If you prefer coffee, theirs is the best around. Obviously, I'll be going back every time I'm in the area. read more

I tried taking my family here for Mother's Day (5/10) but it was completely packed, so we booked a reservation for the next day instead. Good luck booking a place here on holidays! 4 stars for the original Caesar's salad - the waiter made the salad in front of us and he would describe what he was doing every step of the way. The salad itself looks really plain and simple. When you first see the whole romaine lettuce leaves, you might think, wth! how do I eat this?! But the flavors were soooo good, eating the salad with a knife and fork didn't even matter anymore. The waiter also gave each of us a small recipe card for the Caesar salad. The salad definitely lives up to my expectations. 3 stars for the rest of the food - We ordered a steak, medium, but they served it as medium well. The flavor of the steak was decent, nothing special about it. The side potatoes were seasoned, but vegetables were steamed with no flavor. I would've preferred them with a little bit of olive oil, salt, & pepper. Next, we got some lamb chops. Those were also requested as medium, but cooked as medium well. The flavors were good, but again the side vegetables lacked flavor. The ravioli and fettuccini carbonara were average. The ravioli dish was definitely not filling. For dessert, we got flan and creme brulee. Also, nothing special. They taste like all other flans and creme brulees. Our total came out to be $85 USD. Totally happy with the price, definitely got our money's worth! I've been to better fancy restaurants in the US, but this place is excellent relative to the standards in TJ. read more

Only a spoiled AF American tourist would give this place anything less than 5-stars. Just because it's not like your local eatery in Little Rock doesn't mean it's not amazing. Manage your expectations. Anyway, enough other reviews about the salad for me to bother. I will instead speak to how beautiful it is inside, how amazing and friendly the service is, and the super high quality of the rest of the food. My steak with chorizo was perfectly rare like I ordered, and the chorizo was spicy and tasty. The refritos on the side were ok, would probably sub them out next time. My bud's chateaubriand was outstanding. Both steak entrees were around $15 US each. These meals would easily go for $40 in the US. To top it off, we were drinking huge shots of Grey Goose and Maker's for $4 each. We almost had to get a room and spend the night we drank so many. Even without the draw of the authentic salad, this place is fantastic, an excellent value, and an experience not to be missed. If you are thinking about giving this place a 3-star review, message me - I will fight you! read more

Amazing place! It has that old school classic feel (more like a classic mafioso Italian restaurant). It's luxurious looking interior facade contrasts very differently to the outside streets of Tijuana. The Caesar salad (allegedly the originator) is really good, they prepare it in front of you, and the drinks are really good! read more

We had a fabulous experience here! We had a group of six and were seated right away for our Saturday lunch. We were served some bread with delicious olive tapenade, as well as herbed butter. For appetizers, we got the beef tartare, spicy octopus, and escargots. All were very good. The escargots in particular had an outstanding sauce, and the texture of both the escargots and the octopus was perfect--very tender, not chewy at all. We of course got the Caesar salad, which was also delicious. They prepare it table side and do a great job of explaining each step. They give you a little recipe card so you can make it at home if you want. Can't wait to try it! As an entree, we had the duck a l'orange, which was very good. The duck was nice and crispy, with the perfect amount of sauce. The price was definitely fair for all that high-quality food. Can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Horrible experience we drove 5 hours from home to visit Tijuana. We planned our day to have dinner at 7 there since the website said they closed at 8. We arrived at 7:10 because it was hard to find parking and most of the streets are closed on Saturday and Sunday for pedestrian use wich we didn't know. The lady at the front refused to sit us because she said the kitchen was closed. I asked her if I could speak to the manager on duty and she refused to call him. When she refused to call him I asked the receptionist in the hotel and he said she is lying the manager was there but refused to speak to me. Sorry that this was not a positive review. Hopefully they fix there hours on the internet and on yelp. read more

Quick and to the point: This restaurant is birthplace of the Caesar salad. -Salad prepared in front of you, dressing and all. Super fresh and great tasting. - Presentation of all their dishes is great very neat. -Prices are low for the average Joe. -Food has great flavor and rival that of restaurants costing many times over in the US. The drive to TJ from LA worth just for the food. Will be back, where else can you find food than can rival Michelin rated restaurants at a fraction of the price. Will be back. read more

2018 Yelp Review Challenge: 17/100 ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! Exceeded expectations by far. But I also didn't have any expectations coming in. Finding it was a surprise. Food: We only had the caesars salad. They make the dressing in front of you in a large wooden bowl and they show you every ingredient as it goes in. They don't chop the Romaine lettuce up you eat it in large pieces or you can cut it yourself. It is also served with bread that you can use to soak up the rest of the delicious dressing with. Ambiance: Upscale, wooden finishes. Nostalgic feel. History as told by my tour guide: A group of American pilots came into the restaurant near closing time when the kitchen was closing up. The server told them they couldn't make anymore food when they saw a guy sitting in the corner eating a salad. The recipe apparently came from his mom and it had no official name for it. They then asked him if he can whip up the same thing for them and they loved the salad so much that the guy named it pilot salad. After the pilot salad gained popularity around the area, a chef from Europe approached the man who made the pilot salad and asked him if she could have the recipe to sell in her restaurant. He agreed and when she tried to confirm that the name of the salad was pilot salad he said, never mind the salads name is his name, which was Caesar. That's how it became the beloved salad that we know it today, Caesar salad. read more

Outstanding restaurant in the heart of TIjuana. Great Caesar salad with the best possible dressing, accompanied with croutons and complimentary bread with tapenade. An excellent appetizer is the salmon (Norwegian) carpaccio--delicious. They are noted for their beef Wellington, and for good reason. Well stocked bar including Havana Club rum from Cuba as well as a host of Baja wines from the Guadalupe Valley, including Santo Tomas. Nice bar and ambiance throughout the restaurant. Live music on Thursday nights. read more

Fine dining in Tijuana. This is the place that created the Caesar salad. It's an experience to see them come to your table and make it for you. I once saw this place on the travel channel and knew one day I'd love to go and try this place. For usd prices it was extremely cheap as well. I had so much food and it came to under 30 usd. read more

I hate to do this but I'm seating in my couch this morning due to a Caesars salad that was prepared with a dirty or previously used wood container and spend all night vomiting and with an ugly stomachache, when I saw the waiter started to add our salad ingredients on to a previously used container looking with a yelloish tone I was about to say something but I was embarrassed to speak up since I didn't want to disturb the rest of my party and I rather kept my mouth shot but now I'm paying for my silence and regretting I ever went to eat a nasty dinner a this so called Tijuana-San Iconic place, shame on you guys!! Please make things the right way and take pride on what you do read more

Was seated right away, however waiter never came back to take our order. I was really excited to try this place but the service is trash.

Who doesn't want to go to home of the original Caesar salad that we all know and love? We obviously same for the Caesar salad which definitely didn't let us down, and the flan was absolutely exceptional! One of the best flans I've ever had. The escargot and pasta we ordered were decent as well, but I wouldn't order it again. Wine and Sangria were good. Overall, definitely a must-try for its history and upscale/romantic ambiance. read more

This place is a feast for the eyes and the palate. Beautiful decor, greeted warmly, seated instantly on a Saturday at 1 p.m. We started with a drink, they were top shelf alcohol, made with fresh fruit. We ordered the appetizer of calamari, delicious. Next we were brought our soup and the tortilla soup was superior to any I've had, the mushroom soup was also excellent. Entrees were the rib eye and the bacon wrapped shrimp. My steak was cooked to perfection, loved the sauce. I did not sample the shrimp but my companion enjoyed it although she wished it would have been served with pasta or potatoes rather than on top of a bed of spinach. The bread was fresh with a different type of spread on the side, still not sure what that was. I would have preferred butter but didn't request it. Our service was impeccable although there was a slight language barrier. I'm in Mexico, not the USA so this is my fault for not taking more Spanish in school. Now for the bill. $57. Whoa! I would easily have paid way more than that at Black Angus and received much less. I'm just wondering why I never tried this this place before. Thanks to Yelp, I was clued in. This is now going to be my go-to place for a nice atmosphere, beautiful bar, indoor or outdoor seating, great service, clean and modern restrooms, and excellent food. We couldn't have asked for more. Well actually I could. I absolutely despise jazz and that was the piped music venue but everything else negated it. Next time I'll sit outside to escape that. read more

Best Caesar's salad anywhere. Made at your table. Great margaritas. Excellent service.

Great place for a classy meal in TJ. + Historical significance - the Caesar salad was invented here! + Beautiful and classy. Really nice decor. You don't even feel like you're in Tijuana anymore. + Good food. I had shrimp and octopus and both were pretty good (not the best but enjoyable). My parents both really liked their meals (fish dishes) as well. This was perfect for them since they don't like Mexican food. + You can have the Caesar salad prepared at your table which is neat. My Mom almost passed out when she saw how much oil goes into the dressing. + Really nice, clean bathrooms. + Decent beer selection incl. some local brews as well as their own brew. + Ends up being super cheap with the exchange rate. For three people (with alcohol), it ended up being something like $55. We were so stoked, haha. + The taxi guys outside (there's a hotel here too) were great. One guy was super helpful and helped us call a cab with specific directions and talked the driver down to a good price. + Great location - walking distance from the border. - Service inside was a bit lacking. Servers were just standing around for a while and ignoring us. Not particularly friendly either. read more
