This place was awesome. First off, let it be known that this is where the Ceasar Salad was invented. So with that in mind, we ordered the Ceasar Salad. The salad is prepared for you right at your table. It's served as whole romaine leaves with large baguette toast as croutons. The dressing was perfect and tossed table side. We also tried a stuffed chicken dish which was the most amazing thing ever. The service was awesome. The primary language spoken is Spanish and the currency is in pesos. Some locals know both English and Spanish and they print your bill for you in pesos and in dollars. They also have an English version of the menu but the prices are in pesos. read more

The food was really good here. Had to try the Caesar's salad but did had the fettuccine stroganoff too. The atmosphere was good.

Nice place good food. The people is nice and you can tell upper class are more likely go there. They have pics of years ago that tell u more about the city's history and how long they have been part of it. read more

Good food and excellent service . Nachos were slightly underwhelming, tuna appetizer was spectacular as was avocado wrap. Cocktails are very strong but we'll made. Will be back for sure .Pictured old fashioned, tuna tartare, nachos , avocado wrap, mac and cheese. read more

My husband had wanted to take me here for years. We finally made our way across the border and met friends here for dinner. This restaurant is beautiful. Old Mexico filled with tradition and home of the famous Caesar salad. People think that the Caesar originally came from Italy. Nope. It was created right in Tijuana, Mexico. This traditional salad is so different from what Americans are use to! Full leaf romaine and they whip it up right at your table with their special original recipe. Fab. I just loved our service, food and company. Fine dining at its best. This is a must make reservation place if you go to Tijuana. You can't go wrong as there's something for everyone. I had to ask to hold the sauce on my fish since I have a ton of food allergies and it was fabulous. Love this place to the moon and back. read more

Minus one star for inattentive service the first half hour during which I had to ask for bread and menus. After that, service was average for the area. Four stars for the delicious salad dressing made fresh at your table and the cocktails (lemon drop and cosmo). The tacos and shrimp burritos were mediocre. We will return to try other items. read more

It's pretty good food and the caesar salad is top notch but it takes so long to get any service here. On my first trip down to TJ, I ate here daily but it takes so long to get my food, lunch turns into dinner. I usually just go down deeper into TJ (zona rio). They have restaurants with just as good food but it doesn't take a long time to get it. read more

A nice restaurant and of course home of the Caeser salad. With a 1$ to 18 peso exchange rate, its a nice time to go. I think the escargot is a hit as well. I stick with 4 appetizer and 1 tapas for 2 people and that was fine with the salad ( which is really just 3 leafs of romaine lettuce) If it weren't famous I guess it may be a 4 star place, but it's famous and nice in TJ so 5 To get there: take a uber to the border. Walk across with your passport. Get a cab for 5-10$ and then reverse on the way back. The restaurant will get you a confirmed taxi return price. (Probably $5). And take a taxi back. A taxi to the border from Gaslamp was about $50 each way. Uber is half of that. read more

I come here way too much for the ribeye- delicious, juicy, very moderately priced. Come for the salad and crème brûlée too!

We had to visit this iconic restaurant where the Caesar salad originated. The interior has classic club-style decor. Dark woods, mood lighting. Waiters are elegantly dressed in livery. The food and service was excellent. The preparation of the salad at tableside was cool. The best thing was the very reasonable bill! read more

Hands down the most amazing Caesar salad I have ever eaten. Had no idea that it originated from here until today, so glad to have learned this. I will definitely return to Tijuana just for this salad. So delicious! read more

Excellent service. Excellent food - especially the tapas. I had this octopus dish that was absolutely the best octopus dish I've ever had. I like the way they do their Ceasar salad as well. Very good presentation. Excellent cocktails - very strong. Well mixed. Excellent cleanliness - the floors, the walls, the glass, the ceiling, the bathrooms, the air, the food....extremely clean, which is a wonder given the location. Excellent prices. I ordered 5 tapas plates, 2 main entrees, 2 small salads, 8 cocktails, a dessert and the bill came out to $107. This would have cost $300-$500 in San Diego for similar food in a similar establishment.......and it'd be served to you by Mexicans either way, so might as well come here! read more

Tried the Caesars salad. Very delicious. The waiter prepared it right at my table. Not bad for $8. Will be having this again.

Caesar's might be a world famous restaurant but it absolutely lives up the the hype. Caesar salad is amazing. 5 stars on its own. Pasta excellent. Bacon wrapped, crab stuffed shrimp was delicious. Glad we checked this off our bucket list. Can't wait to go back. read more

I always wanted to see what the hype is about the caesars salad. I took my wife in for a special date. This restaurant is phenomenal, the best caesars salad in the world. There's literally no parking on the street so you must take valet if you're driving. Wait time on weekend could be 30+ minutes. The establishment is classy-old school but very confortable. Prices are decent. Recommend it for sure! read more

We visited TJ on July 4th. The restaurant was recommended by friends as a "must have restaurant in TJ. The staffs can speak English and they have English menus. The escargot and bone marrow were not that good as people complimented on Yelp. They tasted like were cook in the morning but served at night. but the Cesar Salad was Fantastic! I would recommend Cesar Salad and strawberry mojitos but not the escargot and bone marrow. read more

Words cannot describe how extraordinarily delicious this place is. Very friendly staff working here and awesome service! The interior of Ceasars looks exactly like it's out of the 1920's. We ordered the Ceasar salad prepared table side. This is the original birth place of the Ceasar salad seen all around the world. This was the best Ceasar salad I have ever tasted, extremely recommend that you try it, it's a must! We also ordered a small paella and a French onion soup, my favorites! Lunch came with complimentary bread and a olive oil type spread that paired perfectly. Topped it off with a tasty mai tai made in house by the wonderful bartenders. Cannot recommend this place enough, it's an absolute must if you find yourself traveling to Tijuana. If you want five star dining for more than half the price of what you get the same thing in the states, this is your place! Try this place! You will love it, I know I sure did! Can't wait to go back! read more

We took a short trip to Tijuana. I was a little skeptical, but enjoyed or lunch. Our lunch was fabulous, we had the salad of course, beef tartare, a shrimp dish, crab stuffed peppers and we were extremely satisfied. read more

Foods good but the service is really bad. I've have received better service at a McDonalds in the ghetto. The service alone is a negative one star. Food is okay not worth an hour wait for a dry Wellington. Your better off going to a taco shop. Faster service and better food. read more

Okay, so my boys and I decide to take dad on an adventure to TJ for fathers day. The plan was to hit some breweries and get a bite to eat. Well, we get down there and the first brewery is closed... because it's Sunday and people don't drink beer on Sunday? Anyways, we decided to get a bite then figure out what we wanted to do. We start walking down Avenida Revolucion and I look over and see Caesar's. I think to myself, Caesar's? home of the original Caesar salad? Okay, we're in. We get a table. One of my boys and I share a bottle wine from L.A. Cetto, the others are finally getting a beer. We ordered some appetizers: spicy pulpo, garlic bread, and some shrimp burritos. They also served up some bread with an olive tapenade. We had to order the famous caesar salad. They mix up the dressing in a big bowl right at the table, then toss in the romaine. It was delicious! For lunch, my husband had the adobado tacos, the boys had proscuitto stuffed chicken, ravioli, and fettuccini alfredo, and I had the fettuccini stroganoff. It was all quite good. The best part? The bill was only $133 USD for a bottle of wine, several beers, appetizers, and lunch. We will make another trek across the border again soon to enjoy another meal at Caesar's!! read more

Great place, Cesar salad its a must have, I highly recommend this place if you in the town

Caesar salad the best!! Hands down! Their service is great! Drinks are creative!!! But the salad is what you really want to go for..

I can't believe that I've been coming to Tijuana for over half a century and have never been here! Will need to rush back to make up for the lost time. Yes, this is where the Caesar Salad was created in 1927. It is still outstanding, prepared table side. And if you check their website the recipe is there, but getting all those fresh ingredients together, and mixing, and emulsifying, etc. - I will leave it to them. But don't miss it! In addition to the salad, we had Oysters Rockefeller, French Onion Soup, a fish on a bed of spinach with slivered almonds and a mild white sauce, and the Apple Strudel. Would have everything again, but, why? Menu is loaded with many tempting dishes - want to try ALL of them. Also, this place has a serious bar and bartender. I'm pretty sure both have been here since the 1930's. One of the best Perfect Manhattans that I've ever had and she was very pleased with the Bloody Mary. And they have some very nice wines. And the service was outstanding. Everyone in bow-tie and vest; total attention; no dirty dishes allowed on the table, etc. Fantastic! Can't wait to go back! read more

Stopped by for lunch. Ordered full size caesars salad, octopus dish and carne asada. Delicious salad i want to eat every day. Octopus with lemon butter sauce( I don't remember) so tender and delicious. Carne asada medium rare was perfect cook simple steak but with guacamole was hit! All for US $35 without tip. Service was great. Valets parking is US $2.50. read more

Went there yesterday for drinks and a bite to eat. Restaurant was lovely - tablecloths, very clean (bathrooms were spotless too), quiet. Margaritas were probably the best I've ever had. Didn't skimp on the tequila and tasted like all the ingredients were fresh (instead of tasting like that nasty mix that you get in so many places). We had a cheese tray and machaca burritos - DELICIOUS. If we go back to Tijuana, I will definitely be going back to this place. read more

Want a nice lunch to anchor an afternoon trip to Tijuana? This is it. Just a few minutes south of San Diego, and a thrilling $5 cab ride from the Mexican side of the San Ysidro Port of Entry, sits Restaurante Caesar's, a real charm in an ocean of 2nd world culture. We settled on the patio to watch the world pass by as we ate. The glass partition is nice - wonder if it's bullet-proof? For appetizers, the Escargot had really nice flavor, and the Oysters Rockefeller was everything that it could and should be. Being the place where Caesar's Salad was invented, we couldn't pass it up. The table side preparation was perfect with carefully selected whole leaves from the romaine heart, and fresh ingredients in the dressing. Our waiter brought us the recipe for the dressing. Do not pass this up. For entrees, both the Beef Wellington and the steak combination plate were awesome. I could go on, but now I'm getting hungry. All this plus about 6 draft ambers for around $68 USD equivalent. You read that right. Considering price point, it doesn't get any better than this. Get some. read more

We went there today bc of the great reviews and unfortunately, the food was not really good! The rib eye was horrible and full of fat! I ordered the chicken spaghetti and the chicken was was from the bad...very disappointing, but we got to try it and will not be going back! Oh the salad is really garlicky, but if you like garlic go for it. read more

Really good food ok service waiters stare at women's behinds in front of the husband other than that pretty good.

Probably it's one of my favorite restaurants to be honest. It counts with good service and good food, plus if you're vegan/vegetarian they can do a special dish for you wish is pretty good. You should go and try the caesar salad. read more

I'd been to Caesar's before, but only for cocktails at the bar. This past weekend, I came back with a party of 4 for a proper sit-down dinner. Half the pleasure of Caesar's is soaking in the vibe of the place. It's upscale in a #throwbackthursday sort of way, with lots of antique artwork and photo prints all over the place. It feels like you've stepped back in time and into some noir gangster movie. (Caesar's has been around since 1927, so that isn't too surprising.) The place was pretty busy, but we didn't need reservations. The hostess whisked us to a cozy four-top near the back of the restaurant, and our server quickly came by with a cocktail menu. We had a handful of cocktails at Dandy del Sur beforehand (natch), so we decided to class up our evening by splitting a bottle of Sauvignon blanc (whose name escapes me, unfortunately). The server also brought out some sliced-up baguettes with olive tapenade and garlic butter. The menu is just as retro as the decor. Don't expect any modern flourishes like deconstructed plates or molecular gastronomy. Caesar's keeps things old-school and classy, with lots of steaks, fish, and pastas. It is still TJ, after all, so plenty of Mexican dishes are also available. We ordered several different appetizers, entrees, and desserts, and everything was passed around for sharing and tasting. Here's the rundown: Appetizers -- Caesar salad -- Spicy grilled octopus -- Tacos with grilled pineapple, avocado, and onions Entrees -- Beef Wellington -- Salmon Wellington -- Salmon meuniere -- Combinacion mexicana (grilled beef, cheese enchiladas, cheese-stuffed green poblano peppers, guacamole, and beans) Desserts -- New York cheesecake -- Vanilla flan Not surprisingly, the superstar of the meal was the Caesar salad. (This is, after all, where the dish was supposedly invented.) It's prepared table-side, which is quite fun to watch, and the flavor is tangy and light and vibrant. It's nothing like those nasty bottled Caesar-like dressings from Vons. The other dishes were all fine, but a general blandness pervaded everything. Pretty much every entree needed salt and pepper, and both desserts were too sweet for my taste. Nevertheless, the quality of execution was definitely there, and the dishes were still very satisfying -- especially given the low prices. Speaking of things that definitely do *not* have low prices: avoid the roaming guitar players. They'll reel you in with promises of romantic tunes, but they're mostly out to score a quick buck and move on to the next table of suckers -- I mean tourists. All in all, I like Caesar's -- a lot. Some of the food isn't my style, but there's so much else to like about the place that I'm bound to be back. read more

I think I knew that the Caesar's Salad originated in Tijuana but forgot all about it. So when I heard about Caesar's and all of the history behind it and was spending a few days in TJ - I decided to check it out and boy was I pleasantly surprised. Firstly, the prices are super low - which is typical of Tijuana but still, a great value. The decor is amazing - totally 1927 classy vibe in there. The food and menu stays true to the historical nature of the restaurant And... the Caesar's salad does not disappoint. Next time I want to try the bone marrow dish - it looked incredible. (lots of tourists from Japan and the USA in here) Had an Onion soup which was good, but not as good as the salad. My Dad had the beef tongue and some eggs with chorizo and fries which he loved and apple strudel for dessert. In other words we ate like kings and spent less than $20 a person. I am so full I need to go sleep now. read more

This is our favorite place in Tijuana to come for a good, easy dinner. I have no complaints. The caesar salad is the best

Don't bother coming in if you are not speaking english or don't look rich. Waiters/Staff will just pass your table without acknowledging you. Worst service I've had en Tijuana so far. I told the hostess and was totally dismissed. read more

Five stars - yes it is five stars! This has to be my favorite restaurant that I have been to so far. The atmosphere is very classy and romantic. And fellas if you are looking for a spot to propose, Valentines Day dinner, anniversary dinner, etc, this is your spot. The entrees vary from steaks, pastas, fish, etc. I had beef ravioli and my date had a salad. We tried each other's plates and were pleased with each. We also enjoyed a glass of Merlot and it was delicious. There's a long bar with what seemed a diverse amount of liquor. The walls are also decorated with paintings and prints from throughout Tijuana's history. The service was excellent and I couldn't have asked for better. I will definitely return! read more

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

This is a crazy spot. It is SUPER EXPENSIVE and very HAUGHTY TAUGHTY! Very uncomfortable and did I say it was super expensive? I got stomach aches from escargot - but nothing was wrong with them so I think that I just can't eat them. My Beef Wellington was very dry and over cooked. The only good thing was the Cesar salad - but even that was so expensive for 3 sheets of romaine lettuce. Next time in TJ - I will not return here. read more

I don't know what I enjoyed more in TJ, the tacos or the Caesar salad here at Hotel Caesar's. My friend kept complaining and asking if we're really going to TJ to get a damn salad but he shut up the moment he took a bite of the salad. I'm not a big salad fan, especially meatless ones, but omg it was one of the most delicious things I've bet tasted. It was light and refreshing and salty to just oh so good. I will never visit TJ again without having a Caesar salad here before heading back home. read more

This is one of the most important restaurants in North America, maybe the world. Think about the global reach and penetration of the Caesar Salad. It is EVERYWHERE! And Caesar's Restaurant lets you remember where it came from and step back in time. I love TJ and Caesar's is a part of that. You should spend an hour looking at all the awesome pictures on the walls The food was fantastic, the service was perfect. This is a destination by itself. It is less than a $10 taxi ride from the border. There is a parking garage around the corner (buy insurance if you're going to drive). Don't forget to try something besides the salad. The bone marrow dish is awesome, everything that I have tried, everytime I go, is exceptional. read more
