This place was recommended from a fellow friend and it was delicious. I had a few places in Tijuana and they have failed. This had great service and the place was small but awesome. The hot cakes were good but I need a bit more syrup. I will comeback. @raulvsfood on Instagram read more

La Cabana del Artista exists in a rarefied world of its own. As I make my way to the restaurant, I motor along sleepy Calle Venustiano Carranza, passing two crumbling cemeteries [prosaically named "Panteon No. 1" and "Panteon No. 2"]. Turn left onto the grandly named but narrow Calle Naciones Unidas and go one block and you are there: A two story house stands proudly at the corner, like a mirage, draped in a luxuriant fuchsia flowering Bougainvillea. A table covered in a colorful fabric from Chiapas [the most remote and southerly Mexican state, from which the owners hail] is placed just outside the entrance door. Walk inside, and you will be gently greeted with refinement by Max and Giovanni, who will then place you into the adept hands of waiters Eduardo or Saul. Immediately you will sense the emotion and love that is La Cabana del Artista. It is a feeling that is ephemeral and undefined, something that cannot be quantified, but you will know you are in a place unlike any other. Max will whisper in your ear about new wines in the cellar that have appeared since your last visit, and the bottles will be ceremoniously presented on the table for your perusal. Eduardo will present a plate of Pasta a la Rueda, scraped from the cheese wheel, or a gleaming salmon with fresh arugula. Ricardo will set up a chair in the corner and begin singing and strumming his guitar. After dinner, Max will create for you his magic with a myriad of coffee drinks that he makes from very special family coffee beans brought from his home in Chiapas. When it is time to leave, Max will be there. You know what you have just experienced is out of the norm. It is not about four walls and waiters and menus. Rather, it is a kind of artistic creation in its own right, for Max is the "Artista" of the "Cabana", in his welcome, in his wine and in his beloved Chiapas coffee. And it is certain that the spirit of La Cabana del Artista will travel with you as you make your way through the busy streets of Tijuana to the Frontera and back to San Diego. read more

Great atmosphere for any occasion (family romantic etc) my wife enjoyed her omelette I think it should have a little more flavor... my chilaquiles was a bit on the sweet side, it wasn't bad just different from the authentic ones I'm use to... juices are freshly squeezed and coffee is out this world. Overall experience 4.5/5 read more

I really liked the vibe of this place - Italian bistro without being crowded, is a small place but very unique. Love , love the live music Meals we order The Chicken breast in white wine (one of my favorites) rib eye and filet mignon. The dishes were some of the best we ever had while visiting Tijuana. The steaks were cooked perfectly and the waitress made sure the chicken was seasoned just right. The portions are average no side dishes. The service was done very well, and we were not hurried at all. Our Overall, a tremendous experience. Will be back read more

Hoy llegamos 3 a desayunar y esperamos a 2 amigas más, nos recibió una señorita que no habíamos visto antes, bueno mejor dicho nos negó la entrada porque no había llegado el grupo completo! No recepción amistosa, cero amabilidad, nos dejaron afuera como limosneros en el calor y humedad, el mesero que nos conoce de años, apenadísimo, la mujer nos habló tan feo, con una brusquedad y mal modo que esperamos no volver a verla jamás. De hecho ni nosotros ni nuestras familias regresaremos a menos que sepamos que ella no está y que su "protocolo" de pésimo servicio al cliente, ha terminado, junto con la presencia de esta persona. Aprovecho para advertir que no fuimos el único grupo maltratado, otro grupo con el mismo malestar se fue al mismo tiempo y por la misma razón. read more

Love, love, love this little gem west of Ave Revolucion. It's quaint and the food and service are exceptional. Lots of variety including breakfast and gourmet coffee and tea drinks. Prices are reasonable for such amazing food and service. read more

This place is a hidden jewel and it's a must visit location to have some authentic chapanecan Mexican culinary food. First of all the variety of types of coffees to choose from is a plus. Always make sure too order the tamal "chipilin" as an appetizer to share then order your entree. I ordered the chilaquiles negros and rojos. Enjoy! read more

Yelp included this restaurant in my search results when I looked for dog friendly restaurants. I was told unequivocally, "We are not pet friendly." The Host wasn't very friendly toward me either. Do no go here if you have a pet with you. read more

Rustic, bohemian atmosphere and decor. I enjoyed the tamale con mole, lasagna con huitlacoche and the Chile En Nogada. This cafe is off the beaten path. There really are no other cafes in the area, besides perhaps street food. read more

Another fine breakfast as always great service Love this place you'll never go wrong ordering anything from menu.highly recommended. read more

A rustic little place off the beaten path. I came across it as I searched online for coffee in Tijuana. I let the server choose my coffee for me and she came back with half a gourd of a delicious and nutty coffee from the Chiapas region of Mexico. I'll be back. read more

never had a bad meal and to top it off never had bad service. Luckily for me I always get the same server and she is amazing and at this point she knows exactly what my girlfriend and I usually order. They are very friendly and knowledgable on the menu. I try and make it at least once a week when possible, and it's worth the travel. If you do make it to this cool little spot the two items you must order is, cold Tascalate and a Chipilin tamal, you will thank me later. read more

Delightful breakfast! Delicious food and incredible service in a charming hideaway. And live piano on a Friday morning?! Perhaps the most enchanting breakfast I've ever had. Oh and their coffee. Couldn't get any better. read more

Came here for a late breakfast. The atmosphere is great: live piano. The chocolate tradicional is sweet and great. The chilaquiles rojos are the best chilaquiles I've ever had. read more

My partner had been saying we needed to go here after he went with a friend. We decided to come before a show at CECUT. The place is a charming little house with no printed menu - they list what they made that day on a board they bring to the table. I had the carbonara which was good and Charly had the lasagana with huitlacoche and chile poblano which was excellent. We had espresso, cappuccino, apple cheesecake and afogato for dessert - all yummy. We'll definitely come back; probably for breakfast next time, we heard it is great. read more

One of the best restaurants in Tijuana period. Great ambiance (live piano, cute lights and seating), service is always extremely nice, and the food is the best there is! Well worth the drive read more

An incredible restaurant with a beautiful setting and peaceful ambiance. I had a pasta dish with Salmon, the salmon was cooked perfectly and the pasta was housemade and sooooo fresh! The wait staf were accommodating and friendly. Riochia7 is a true gem of TJ. read more

This place has great ambience. Very cozy , staff very knowledgeable, great friendly service and clean. This is our second time here for break have not tried dinner yet. The breakfast is delish. Definitely recommend anything here for breakfast. Foot note the French toast is a bit overdone with cinnamon and sugar and the bread is thin. One thing that I recommend is that the food be hit. I did not have this problem last time but this time the food was semi warm. I was so hungry I did not complain it was still good but not hot. read more

My wife and I like to have a lunch date once in a while below the border. She found this local place on Google and the reviews were excellent. We really liked everything. This is a very unique menu with several items we have never tried. Family owned and operated and authentic down to the older piano player covering all kinds of great songs on a very antique piano. Try the coffee drinks they grow their own beans near the Guatemalan border. read more

From the variety of coffee and drinks to the excellent quality and taste in food. Love this place! Small, quiet and great service. Their decor is absolutely charming! This place is located just minutes from the border, not too far from downtown Tj. If you like to venture from your typical "tourist" area and eat some great food, you should try to pay them a visit. Owners are so welcoming and friendly! read more

Very small, quaint place. Nice ambiance, great service and the food was delicious. Plan to come back soon!

Excellent dining experience. Try the house salad. Unique ambiance, great food, awesome overall experience. Close to the border.Definitely coming back. read more

Start with the coffee Tascalate. Trust me. Continue with a tamal as an appetizer. Then, for either breakfast or lunch have your pick of anything your heart desires. Not had anything bad here after 5 visits. read more

Excellent atmosphere, very friendly staff. One of the best lattes in TJ!

The ceviche was WONDERFUL!!! Savory, sweet, citrusy.....it hit all the taste buds. We will definitely be back!!!

Great atmosphere- kind of like being in a house. Food is good, too, although my huitlacoche lasagna was so-so, my friend's lasagna a la rueda (stirred in a old parmesan wheel) was excellent. Truly a gem in the area. read more
