A Classy and Delicious Sunday Brunch at Sanborns! We recently enjoyed Sunday brunch at Sanborns on Avenida Revolución in Tijuana, and it was an absolute delight! The food was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and truly delicious. I sampled a bit of everything and was not disappointed at all--everything was prepared with care and full of flavor. The price was very reasonable, especially when compared to brunch prices in the U.S., making it a great value for the quality and variety of food offered. Our waitress, Olivia, was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and always checking in to refill our drinks. The service was top-notch, and the overall ambiance was classy yet relaxed. It felt comfortable and welcoming for both adults and kids. One thoughtful touch I really appreciated was the freestanding coat and purse rack at each table. It may seem small, but it speaks volumes about their attention to customer comfort and detail. And I can't forget to mention the café de la olla--rich, aromatic, and nostalgic. It brought back warm memories of growing up in Tijuana. Even the kids had a great time and enjoyed the meal. I highly recommend Sanborns for a relaxing and tasty Sunday brunch. We'll definitely be returning! Now in Spanish: Disfrutamos muchísimo del brunch en Sanborns. La comida estaba fresca, bien sazonada y muy rica. Probé de todo un poco ¡y todo me encantó! El café de la olla fue mi favorito--me recordó a mi infancia en Tijuana. Nuestra mesera Olivia fue muy amable y atenta, siempre pendiente de nuestras bebidas. El ambiente fue relajado pero con un toque elegante. Me encantó que cada mesa tiene para colgar bolsas o abrigos--¡muy práctico! Los precios son razonables, especialmente comparados con los brunch en EE.UU. y los niños también lo disfrutaron. Sin duda, ¡volveremos! read more

We visited the Sanborn's on Revolucion the other day. Our server was very attentive however the food was awful. My partner ordered the pozole but he barely touched it. It had zero flavor. I thought he was exaggerating since he is not very picky but I tried it and couldn't believe they served that plate. No amount of salt or add ins was helping. The bread thay was served was rock hard. Our server said they Did not have any fresh bread but that he could microwave it for us to soften it up. I ordered flautas ahogadas de papa. They were also rock hard and barely had any papa inside. I get flautas are crunchy but rock hard is not acceptable. The coffee was super bitter and just not good! The only dish that was tasty was my daughter's sopa de fideo. It had lots of carrots and the broth has great flavor. To add to this review... The restaurant was not busy at all (Saturday night). Definitely not coming back despite having great memories of Sanborns. read more

We went here because my mom spoke highly about this place. The menu was long and I asked the waiter if he could recommend a dish. He says the carne ranchera is amazing so I took his word. I've never had anything like this it was gross!! I don't think it was beef my husband said it was more like GATO RANCHERO. The beans were from a can. What a terrible experience and on top of that they didn't seem to care. read more

Sanborn's Hermanos is a Tijuana landmark restaurant, and features authentic Mexican cuisine, and it's a destination restaurant for many Norteamericano visitors to Tijuana. It's located on Av. Revolución, at the corner of Calle Hidalgo, a.k.a., Calle 8A and Av. Revolución, near the iconic Jai Alai Palace, at the extreme south end of Tijuana's gringo-friendly central district. My visit actually happened back in September, 2018, and I'm just now getting around to posting it on Yelp. To enter the restaurant, you walk in the entrance to the drug store and take a right, and you'll walk to the cashier's station, where you will be seated. I'm standing near one of the buffet tables, and the drug store can be seen at the extreme right of the photo. They were serving buffet on this Saturday morning, and this was only one of three counters they had set up with many items to choose from. Most people were enjoying the buffet, which featured mostly American cuisine, but I was in the mood for a traditional Mexican breakfast, so I ordered from the menu. I found it quite interesting that Sanborn's Hermanos caters to the American tour bus crowd, but none of the staff spoke English. Para mí, ningún problema, como hablo Español. For breakfast today, I went from the "Desauynos Mexicanos" section of the menu, and ordered Huevos rancheros, refried beans, sourdough toast, jam and coffee. The coffee was the best coffee that I've ever enjoyed in Mexico - Mexico isn't noted for it's quality coffee - and true to form, I got one cup, with no refills. In Mexico, you don't get refills when you order coffee. The meal was pricey, but it was made from fresh, quality ingredients, it filled me up, and it was delicious. If you can afford it, Sanborn's serves a great breakfast! Here's where things got interesting, as after I finished my meal and left a generous tip for Sarah, I went to the cashier's station to pay for my meal. On this trip, I was just visiting the Zona Centro, so I didn't bother to change my dollars into pesos, so I figured a classy restaurant like Sanborn's wouldn't have a problem making change, so I gave the cashier a $20.00 bill. He looked like a deer caught in headlights, and said that he didn't have change and that he'd have to go and get some. C'mon... So I waited five minutes... ten minutes... so to amuze myself, I took this photo of fht fruit and juice buffet table. The guy in suit approached me and politely informed me that no photos were allowed inside the restaurant. So, just as I put away my camera, the cashier returned with $12.00 change from my $20.00 bill. I had to wait 10 minutes for the change... good I wasn't in a hurry! Sanborn's Hermanos serves delicious, but pricey, food, but it's delicious and the quality is great. The restaurant would be an outstanding choice for the visitor that's hesitant to enjoy the local cuisine, or the street food, like I prefer to eat. I'm definitely put off by the no-photos policy, but I got my story and my photos, so it's a non-issue with me. I've enjoyed many better, and less pricey restaurants in Tijuana, that don't emply bouncers, and welcome photography. I'm generous to give this tourist trap 3 stars. read more

This review is for the restaurant in Sanborn's. Classic Mexican dishes served here at a decent prices. The restaurant is very clean and spacious and the food seems really fresh. I know this a chain restaurant, but since I've eaten at Sanborn's in other cities, sometimes it's nice to know what to expect when you're in a foreign country. The staff here is very kind and the service is good. Don't get me wrong, the service is often at laid-back speed, but the quality of service is top notch. I visit several times a year - usually for Sunday brunch. I skip the mimosas and Bloody Mary's and grab a two for one Pina Colada or Margarita. Seems to always be happy hour here no matter what time i show up. :) This one is located in the Plaza Rio mall. There are two Sanborn restaurants in this mall - one smaller one and one inside the stand alone department store. The latter is the one I prefer because it's more of a restaurant than a cafe or diner. Mall parking is very cheep at only 20 pesos and there is both surface parking and garage parking for the same price. My favorite dish here is the steak and bacon fajitas plate with delicious rice and beans. The drinks, of course, are also delicious and get better and better with every round. Just kidding because this is really a classy, family restaurant and you wouldn't be here getting tore up even though the drinks are good. I've tried several desserts here, but I've never been that impressed. Your better off hitting the chocolate or pastry counters on the way out. There are also plenty of coffee and pastry shops located in Plaza Rio read more

A hotspot with great food, music and thriving Mexican cultures oozing from Wall To pared. Will come again and again once more, its a vibe.

Came on a Friday night, the girlfriend wanted their chicken soup. I had the chicken enchiladas and a milanesa torta. Service was poor and our waitress never returned to our table after delivering our food and drinks (seriously, I've had better service at taco shops around here). I can't speak for the entire menu, but the food was simple and bland. Not a terrible preparation of a few Mexican classics, but nothing that I haven't had better at a number of restaurants. In a word: mediocre. My girlfriend complained that the tomatoes in their salsa tasted old and they also never served us some of the things we had ordered. Wouldn't go back when there are so many good places to eat in Tijuana. read more

Ate here twice for breakfast always in a group of 5 people. We ordered off the menu both times (did not try the buffet). Their breakfasts are simple and not that great. I'm a vegetarian and have had scrambled eggs and fruit from here. I remember the second second time we ate here they didn't even bring us tortillas, it was toast instead. Maybe you have to request them. Overall it's ehhh. The service is okay, they were friendly both times. read more
