The Best Restaurants in Tijuana, Mexico | Eater San Diego

"One of the pleasures of dining in México are the traditional breakfast restaurants with long menus of regional egg dishes, a range of chilaquiles, and hearty morning stews. Colorful plates, clay mugs, and textured washed yellow walls with exposed brick create enough of a hacienda feel to let you know you’re in México. Try huevos motuleños, a dish from Motul, Yucatán — fried eggs in a generous platter of beans, chopped ham, peas, slices of plantains and salsa martajada, a roasted tomato and chile sauce. Enfrijoladas are corn tortillas stuffed with panela cheese and drowned in bean sauce. For a more local breakfast, get the red or green chilaquiles mounted with a juicy pile of birria de res, Tijuana’s hometown hero dish." - Bill Esparza

The food is great. Not too salty, just the right amount. Good presentation. The parking lot is kind of small, so it might be a little wait to park. If you can stand a noisy place, it will be a great experience. Waiters are friendly and aware of the clients. The gorditas are well cooked and tasty. The huarache (tortilla azteca) was very good.

Mexican Classics Done Right Esencia is a place that serves traditional Mexican food, with a good price and quality that even by the end of the day,I will have experienced a nice service and food. I ordered mole enchiladas with chicken, that came with rice, beans and a few tortilla chips, this one's  were also an entry, the service is a 10/10, the waiter was really nice and good listener, the restaurant offers to fill your cup with the fresh water you order as many times as you like, in my case I order a Watermelon and Melon fresh water that tasted amazing. I really recommend this place, it has an amazing taste and options, plus it is near cetys. So by the time we leave, I will be saying how good the enchiladas at Esencia were.

A tasteful experience Today I’m going to share my experience at the esencia restaurant. It started with me and my teammates going to the restaurant because by that time we will have ordered everything we want before rush hour starts and we also expected that we will experience great service from the moment we walk in . My dish was this very tasty meat that had rice and beans on the side and the meat had a very decent portion for its price . The staff was nice and they attended us promptly. The restaurant's installations were great with a capacity of 50 people inside the restaurant and they looked clean and organized . In my opinion I had a really good experience in this restaurant and I do recommend it.

The place is nice (Arrive early because the place is very busy, they have a list) The breakfast was great, relly tasty. 😋 Well served.👌 The tortillas handcrafted. (White corn & blue corn 😍). Ask for the extra sauces if you like a little more hot 'chile. The coffe was great and the pot coffe is relly tasty. The Neapolitan pudding was good.👍

Not the greatest. The food was ok, not very traditional. The pictures look better than it does in person. Not much parking. But the service was great. We had several plates and tasted a variety of items, we were not too satisfied, but it was just ok. The prices are definitely American priced. Don’t think I would come back.
