"No trip south of the border is complete without a trip through Tijuana’s premier food hall. First timers can discover forward-thinking fare from local chefs, with fusion ramen, elevated homestyle Mexican dishes, and Baja seafood among the standouts. Newer entries include smashburgers by El Purista and classic churros from Puro Pinche Churro." - Mario A. Cortez
"Known as Tijuana’s premier food hall, Telefonica Gastro Park was founded by Antonio Gamboa." - Candice Woo
"Cited as the inspiration for the planned adjacent food truck park, Tijuana’s Telefonica Gastro Park was presented as a gastro‑park model that 1835 Studios' team hopes to emulate." - Candice Woo
"What started as an empty parking lot full of Tijuana-bred food trucks has since evolved (in a new location) into a sophisticated, indoor-outdoor, hipster-cool food hall. If you're craving it, Telefónica Gastro Park most likely has it—tacos, ceviche, gourmet hot dogs, ramen, dessert, coffee, or plant-based street food by Tijuana's Veggie Smalls. You can find a healthy option or two, but all the menus veer more comfort food than lean cuisine. The main liquid draw is the craft beer, particularly Tijuana-brewed Cervecería Lírica. Located inside—you can't miss the funky, colorful bar with its black subway tile cash wrap counter—they have nearly a dozen options to choose from." - Archana Ram
"I was told on KPBS’s Only Here podcast that Telefónica Norte is currently in the works: founder Antonio Gamboa says he is in the midst of contract negotiations for a San Diego-area location that will feature recognizable Tijuana chefs and extend the collective’s cross-border presence." - Candice Woo
