For a while now I've been wanting to get my Global entry pass since I travel so much, finally the day came when my sentri pass had arrived in the mail. My friend and his wife wanted me to come down to Tijuana for the day to check out some sites and try some local taco spots. We came to Tacos Salceados Ermita to check it out, the place seemed clean, the staff was welcoming, menu looked good so we decided to give it a shot. Any good taco place in my opinion will have that hole in the wall vibe followed by a short small menu of things that they just do well, which this restaurant had both.
Once we sat down I was bummed to find out that they didn't really have a big selection of drinks, I'm not really a soda drinker so I ended up sticking to plain ole bottled water. After the order was placed they brought us the complienmatry plates of veggies that included cucumbers, limes, radishes and a nice plate of smoked peppers. The peppers were definitely our favorites, they brought us a second round because we finished them so fast. They serve a good variety of proteins here including both skirt steak asada, new york cuts and tasty hanger steak which is called arrachera. The arrachera was by far my favorite of the proteins here along with their marinated adobada. To top off the various proteins for their items, in additon to tacos they serve multias, quesadillas, plates and cooked potatoes filled with meats. The quesotaco was the standout here, the texture and taste of fried cheese is nice, they don't do quesotacos back home like this. The salsas were pretty decent here, it's great to give each one of them a try in your taco and have some veggies afterwards to start your palate fresh for the next one.
It's easy to find tacos in Tijuana, but it's always great to find one you'd definitely come back to and this place was it for us. All of us enjoyed our meal here, we got lots of food and really dug the hot sauces. They take US currency if you forget to grab pesos, but be warned the exchange rate wasn't too impressive in my opinion.
