This restaurant is a monthly stop for my group when we visit Tijuana to run our free medical clinic. On our most recent stop, we found that the restaurant that was formerly here (Carnitas Y Birria Los Amigos) - was no longer here. After talking to the servers here, we found that the business was sold and this is the new reincarnation.
The menu lost some favorites from the previous business such as Menudo, but gained a huge drink menu - which comes in handy when the servers mishear your order and pack a crapton of chili in your tacos!
I ordered 2 Tacos with asada, and a burrito with asada, and my order came out within minutes. The food was fresh, the meat portions were generous, and they pack your tacos/burritos full of fresh, tasty, guacamole. There was also a bowl of salsa with CHUNKS of avocado on each table as well. The only downside was that the server must have misheard me when I requested "no spicy", as both my tacos and burritos were probably the spiciest thing I've eaten in a decade. My tongue was burning and the diet coke just made things worse lol. I'll have to be more clear next time we visit.
I left feeling satisfied - the best part? My entire meal including my glass bottle of "Coca-cola Light" (which is the Diet Coke south of the border) - was a little under $6 USD.
While seating is a bit tighter, they did add some chairs and tables, as well as a "bar" type of area. The restaurant also added another restroom - which is a plus, since the previous restaurant only had one working restroom.
Parking is another story - you may have to drive around the block to find some free spots that aren't reserved for businesses.
This restaurant is about a 10 minute walk from the pedestrian border crossing at Otay Mesa.
Photos included:
1) Menu - they added a drink menu that the previous restaurant didn't have, but they no longer offer Menudo. Note: The prices you see are in pesos, not USD. The exchange rate at the time of my visit was 1 USD = 19 Pesos.
2) My meal: 2x tacos asada and 1x burrito asada. read more
