    Desayuno con Chilaquiles de mole, nopales, chorizo y frijoles
    Aileen V.

    This is one of my favorite spots in TJ! Delicious homemade food, great service, easy parking and cozy ambiance. Must try when you come!

    Carne de puerco en salsa verde

    By far the best place to eat here in TJ! This is my second time here and I'm not disappointed at all!!! The soups are yummy la de fideos and corn.... anything in the menu looks good, today we had the 3 tacos dorados shown in pics and it comes with a side soup. The bf got the carne de puerco en salsa verde and the noodle soup!

    Chuletas de puerco ahumadas (en el asador)

    Vengo mucho a desayunar aquí con mi familia, es muy cómodo, rápido y me siento en casa cuando estoy aquí. La comida es muy rica, tiene buen sazón. La milanesa con espagueti (creo que es especial del lunes) está buenísima. Son muy amables y atentos, buen servicio.

    Caldo de Res

    Delisioso!!!! Traditional food from various parts of Mexico. Like Grandma makes! Just found about this great place and I can't wait to come back!!

    Authentic Mexican food that's served fresh! The salsa is spicy and amazing. The chopped onions are so fresh. The tacos are tasty. And the place is open 24 hours. And did I tell you about the fresh squeezed orange juice? Try it!

    Caldo de res and albondigas were not hot at all. Lukewarm at best

    The food is not that good here. I thought because of the ratings that I'd be blown away with authentic Mexican cuisine but sadly I was disappointed. First of all, our waiter was hesitant to continue taking our order because she felt we were ordering too much. Ummmm I shouldn't have been deterred but I was. She made me question myself lol and I didn't get to try some of the other things I wanted to try. -Mole was wayyyy too sweet and they were cold as hell (not kidding) -The red chilequilles were better than the red -Menudo was whatever -Albondigas was good but not hot, more like barely warm -Jamaica was delicious! -corn chowder thing was okay I forget what else we ordered but that should be quite telling on it's own. The food here was literally not hot and seemed like there was no love in it at all. It broke my heart, almost.

    Rib eye, beans, baked potato , guacamole.  Generous portion!

    Fresh food. Clean and fast service. We will always go back here now that we have been there once. $22 American dollars for this two full course meals. Pan dulce and cafe de olla to go.

    Jarocho breakfast plate. And
    Vina R.

    This is one of favorite places for authentic Mexican food particularly breakfast. The breakfast combos are the best deal as all combos comme with a side of beans, potatoes, chicharron en salsa roja and chilaquiles rojos. I ordered the Jarocho combo which is 3 enfrijoladas with egg filling and sprinkled with chorizo. For some reasom the chorizo wasn't really good this time, but everything else on the plate was delish. They also have a great natural juices selection. My fav is beets, carrots and orange juice. You can't leave without trying their cafe de la olla. Really good that you don't need to add anything else.

    Café de olla
    Lorena P.

    They sat us down right away they followed all COVID-19 precautions, excellent service, highly recommend. The café de olla is the best, a must try.

    Enmoladas

    Great home made zacatecas style Mexican food. Beautiful ambience and great service They have a huge menu that took me a while to deside what to order because everything looks really tasty, finally we got a few diferentes dishes and shared them all, extra homemade tortillas kept coming I'm ready to come back .

I had someone call from our hotel and we got right in and there was a line outside. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is all great. Their breakfast goes from American eggs and bacon with the best potatoes to wonderful burrito type breakfast items. Their menudo is great and they have great Mexican meats as well. Lunch and dinner is about the same. They make Mexican style fish and steak that is just perfect every time. All of their Mexican dishes are just wonderful. You can't go wrong. They even have bottled water--never drink the water there, just don't. They have the best rice and beans. The service is great. They make you feel right at home and even if you don't speak Spanish, most speak English and you will figure it out because they will help you. The prices are fair for what you get. At dinner I consider it fine dining. It is all good and you will be happy. The place is also clean and super comfortable.

It has an old spanish mission look on the outside and walking in, you can immediately recognize that it is an impressive and popular place. The decor here is something to write home about. Beautiful wall fixtures, and well crafted local pottery and other artifacts, all around, everywhere. There is ample seating, that is well spaced out. Perfectly pitched Mexican music permeates the atmosphere. There is attentive staff that is so courteous, and welcoming. I wanted to eat lite, and I wanted to eat Mexican, so I chose the Yucatán Tamales. It comes as one pork and one chicken, both slim, wide rectangles, each baked in a banana leaf. They both had their subtle and distinct flavors. Comes with refried beans. The complementary salsas, the rojo and verde, were fresh and tasty. Service was outstanding. Another memorable restaurant in Tijuana, that needs to be filed into the "excellent" and "must go" folders.
