There are plenty of options: arracheras, picanha de las favelas, tacos, cecina, burgers and a black bean cheese dish.

This traditional restaurant serves, among other things, various preparations based on octopus. For those who like it! Otherwise, the freshwater fish are highly recommended.

This is a project by the famous Mexican chef Enrique Olvera (New York, Mexico, Oaxaca), who stands out from the others to abandon ancestral traditions (corn) and refocus on cuisine inspired by Southeast Asia (Japan, Thailand) and Peru.

All this is located in one of the city's trendiest hotels, designed by Mexican architect Javier Sánchez. To visit.

Tacos de cabeza, al pastor, tripas, adobada, asada... all accompanied by generous portions of guacamole and sauces to die for. A real institution, which boasts to be one of the oldest taquerias in Tijuana. That's it! We don't know if it's true, but in any case, the tacos are delicious and well worth the detour. The large restaurant room with a very minimalist decoration (not to say non-existent) is open to the outside and includes a few tables on the terrace.

The desserts, such as red fruit panna cotta or chocolate cakes, are a pleasant surprise

A little old fashioned, it offers in a spacious room with glass-panelled windows some potosinas specialities. The price is very correct.
