So........I see that you can now review businesses in Mexico. Sweet! I was sitting here today…read morelooking at some old pictures of mine, and I came across a few from the last time I was down in Tijuana. I can't post most of them (kidding Marsha...kidding) ;-), but I'll be damned if I don't write a review and post a few pictures from the greatest little street side stand in all of Tijuana. A little back story first................... Tortas Wash Mobile was founded in 1964. From what I have read, it used to be in front of one of Tijuanas first car wash places. 50 years later, the car wash is long gone but the Torta stand is still there! It is a little unassuming cart that just sits there on the side of the street. If you are taking a taxi from the border, most, if not all the guys know where it is. If they don't, tell them to drive down Agua Caliente and drop you off at the gas station on the corner of Agua Caliente and Jalisco. Look down the street and you will see smoke filling the air. You are a hundred or so yards away from one of the best sandwiches you will ever sink your teeth into. You can only get one thing at Wash Mobile........The Carne Asada Torta. They have been doing it for 50 years and I bet it hasn't changed one bit. When you walk up to the stand, you are greeted by the whole crew. They are extremely friendly and even if your Spanish is weak, you can still get by without a problem. There are usually about 3-4 guys working. One guy grilling up the steak, one guy assembling the Tortas, one guy grabbing drinks, and one guy taking money. Its a streamlined operation for sure. You can get your Torta one of a few ways. The condiments they have are mayonnaise, avocado/guacamole, pickled onions/tomatoes and hot sauce. That's it. No need for anything else. I usually get mine with just carne asada and guacamole. I'm a simple man and this type of preparation lets you enjoy the flavors of the well marinated meat. Once in awhile I'll get it with the onion/tomato mix and some hot sauce. Any way you get it, you will surely love it. I promise! They cut a telera style roll in half and throw it on the grill to crisp it up. Once that is nice and toasty/crunchy (still soft in the middle though), they assemble your Torta, place it in a paper wrapper and hand it over. You unwrap your Torta and start to dig in. You sink your teeth into that delicious bread. You bite in and get the cool avocado along with pieces of perfectly marinated carne asada. You swallow that first bite and a smile comes across your face. You grab your Coke and take a swig to wash it down. Back into the Torta. Bread and steak and avocado, repeat over and over. Soon, you are taking your last bite. Sadness comes across you. There is only one thing left to do.............. Order another! "Uno mas, por favor"! Happy face is instantly back! Tortas Wash Mobile is only open during the morning/early afternoon hours. Don't be scared of Tijuana. Head down there in the morning and get yourself one of these Tortas. It's totally worth waiting in that long line to come back to the US. I cannot say enough about how great this sandwich is. It's so simple yet so delicious. It's without a doubt, one of my top 5 (maybe even top 3) favorite sandwiches of all time. You can get two Tortas and a Coke for a little under $9.00 (Early 2013 prices). I probably won't be able to make it down to TJ for a long long time, but my memories and pictures will keep me happy and remind me of how fantastic and delicious this Torta is! Wash Mobile, you guys are simply the best! Thanks for the great memories. Hopefully we will meet again sometime soon!

Ordered: Torta ($120 pesos): carne asada, mayo, guacamole,…read moretomato, onion, and hot sauce Aya's take: Okay, who would've thought you could get a bomb Torta next to a car wash spot!? The carne asada smelled delicious from a block away and we were ready for a quick bite. The torta itself is super fresh, warm, and soft. The carne asada is tender and they give a good portion of it. All the toppings took this torta to the next level. It was juicy, creamy, and savory. Such a great street food spot if you're in TJ!

Amazing experience with great service. Was so easy ordering. You make your request, they write…read moredown on a slip, and then you hand that to the server that prep your meal. We had first-hand experience, and he wanted us to come around and get close to him as he prepared. Was interesting, $2 for a huge size double tortilla tacos. You can't go wrong with that. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Main: 1. 2 Carne Asada Tacos onions cilantro 2. 2 Al Pastor Tacos onions cilantro Drink: 1. Mexico Monster drink made with real sugar Overall experience was absolutely amazing. He made sure we were enjoying our tacos and wanted to make sure if we were satisfied and hungry for more. He was so insisted to take the trash away from our hands even though the trash bin was literally in front of us. I politely said no and threw it away myself. GREAT SERVICE! I definitely recommend this location due to their outstanding customer service experience. They will take care of you the minute you arrive and till you are completely satisfied. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

The best tacos on the planet hands-down. This taco stand is incredible! I consider myself a true…read moretaco connesuier. I've enjoyed a multitude of tacos throughout various places in Mexico and in the USA. I literally plan vacations around eating tacos and nothing compares to these. The carne asada is tender and flavorful, the Adobada (El Pastor) tacos are tender, full of flavor and are out of this world delicious. They load them up with toppings. They'll give you grilled onions and a grilled jalapeno pepper on the side with a lime, then load them up with onions, cilantro, fresh salsa and a generous heap of guacamole. They are simply the best and I find myself coming back to TJ again and again because I can't find tacos anywhere else that compares to Tacos Las 24 Horas.

First time visiting TJ in years and it was so much fun! I love a good food market hall, and I had…read moreno idea Telefónica even existed. It reminds me of some of the big food halls in Los Angeles (Grand Central Market, Haven City, etc.) packed with delicious food and beverage options. Just a quick Uber ride from the border and you can be munching on fresh ceviche and savoring an ice cold glass of house-made sangria. That's exactly what we ordered! I appreciated the option for indoor or outdoor seating. Since it was an extremely hot and humid day, we opted to sit inside, where the fans were a lifesaver. We ordered drinks at the bar inside and then picked up food from one of the several vendors outside. The staff was welcoming and checked on us several times, even offering our group a large table upstairs, which was a considerate touch. From coffee to pastries, sweets, snacks, wine, beer, seafood, pizza, and everything in between, Telefónica is a great way to start or end your day in TJ. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in town!

This place is amazing. Disregard any bad reviews that you may see…read more the truth is they have so many different types of food here, the biggest problem is deciding which one you want to eat. My advice, take a cheap UBER instead of driving as parking is not fast. When you arrive take a walk though quickly to get a lay of the land and see what the options are. Maybe grab a michelada on the way in since the bar is right there. I'd pick one or 2 or 3 places to try as long as what you order fits together. the last thing you'd want to eat would be a taco and a hot dog. BE MINDFUL: Realize you are in Mexico. This place wasn't really made for tourists, it's more of a local spot and it's pretty safe. That being said they don't usually care too much about dealing with complaints. Take breath a little bit Karen and enjoy the experience. The tables are open seating, so maybe while you grab food, send your friend to find a table. they also had a cat there that was so chill and wanted to be pet.
