I would love to try the Totas. It looked amazing. But tonight for dinner I am going to try to make the Chicken Benedict. I love Hollandaise sauce and make a mean one. I love to cook and try new dishes. I love when you show us different dishes because i will try to make my own. So once again, thank you very much for this wonderful video. You rock! Stay safe and keep it up.

Tacos 🌮 and salad 🥗 😋😋😋

I am scared to go to TJ.

Eres chistoso 😂 ...veo que sabes español ... I'm from Tijuana born & raised, so thank you so much for showing something good from my beloved city 🙏🥰

[@monicameza8944]

Want to try all the pastries !

[@raui4667]

alot of people like to romanticize puebla, yucatan, oaxaca but the best seafood, beef, tacos, birria, beer and wine come from the north. Glad that Baja is finally getting recognized.

[@titouscful]

You can’t knock those states, they have amazing food that’s why chefs from all over the world go there to learn.

[@hiiiiii9886]

You trippin best seafood is from mazataln Sinaloa

[@zm5470]

[@edgargonzalez5902]

Lol you gotta go to Nayarit my son

[@eucortes6374]

Pero no tienen platillos tradicionales como el centro y sur, mencionas la birria pero es de Jalisco, no niego que si tienen varios y la mejores carnes, pero Yucatán, puebla y sobre todo Oaxaca es lo mejor de lo mejor

[@raymond288]

I go to La Ventanita every Thursday... Marcela is a very special woman

[@Blondearoundtheworld]

That Caesar salad footage is pure poetry 👏🏻

[@maguyver1713]

I’ve been there twice. Incredible. Sorry, but I enjoy asking people about Caesar salad; they all say a town in Italy. The look on their faces is priceless and they usually don’t believe me. Big fun. It’s absolutely the best salad.

[@dorianbelen]

Mexico is the only country I know where restaurants open and close whenever they want. They also have the luxury of opening only a few hours and days. the reason is that sometimes the meals are already sold, long before opening. Because someone throws a last minute party and buys everything. Mexico is always partying. Every day of the week

[@Noob4allnoob2]

Spain was pretty similar when I visited it had a very nonchalant feel to it and they take their siestas very serious lol

[@dorianbelen]

@@Noob4allnoob2 Ye!s. My sister is living in girona spain. She told me that

[@CaptainPlanet007]

Too much partying not enough..explains everything!

[@dorianbelen]

@M J You are probably talking about restaurants in a tourist area or some small town that has set hours to close. Because in most of all of Mexico. Street food is the tastiest and cheapest. These businesses compete with restaurants with a la carte menu. and they are open 24 hours. You just have to see lights on and people eating. food is safe. Because the constant consumption of food. forces owners to never refrigerate food and cook another batch in 6 hours or so

[@tambert3897]

If the places sell alcohol I think they are supposed to close by a certain time I think.

[@mosesplasencia231]

You can never ever get tired of tacos .. I'm moving to Tijuana in a year ..and my son is 11..he loves watching your videos ..and is getting to warm up to Tijuana .. Thank you bro

[@NomadShifu]

Tijuana is also a growing cultural center and has been recognized as an important new cultural mecca. The city is the most visited border city in the world; sharing a border of about 24 km (15 mi) with its sister city San Diego. More than fifty million people cross the border between these two cities every year.

[@ericktellez7632]

Yes I realized that the city has changed a lot in the last 5 - 8 years, now you see every type of people in here, from Americans and foreigners, to a lot of asians and more black people usually from Haiti. Now its normal to hear Spanish, English, Creolle and even french from time to time in the city.

[@stevegand]

I accidentally “discovered” Hotel Caesars years ago and the caesar salad history. I felt like I had checked off a huge “ bucket list” item. 💯👍

[@rinarina9417]

When you get tired of tacos? Said no one ever. He apparently has never had the best tacos!!! I love the fact that you went to restaurant where the Cesar salad was born. Spreading that culture!

[@Aliciag1109]

🤣... you can definitely get fed up with Tacos. I moved to TJ from L.A 8 years ago and Tacos got pretty boring a few years in.

[@anabelalarcon1898]

La Ventanita is the best bakery in Baja, she is so talented! Great taste and made with the very best ingredients.

[@ryanosborne4987]

You should go live there then

[@Stephaniacat]

@@ryanosborne4987 are you ok? Get your meds

Dolce Salato and Livita are 2 other great TJ bakeries everyone should get to

no its not. dulce taller is better. :)

The fine dining scene in TJ is on point. Cafe Saverios and La Cayatana are absolutely amazing places to eat!!!!

[@CaptainPlanet007]

“Fine dining scene in TJ is on point” 😳

[@carloshernandez-bm7hp]

Hi! I’ve never heard of La Cayetana. I’ll have to try it some day. Saverios was ok. I’m not a fan of Italian. Any dish you recommend at Cayetana? Stay safe!

[@reigngreyson4046]

@@carloshernandez-bm7hp lol well if you aren't a fan of Italian, you might not like my recommendation. I love the mushroom risotto they have there, but the general quality of the food there is just wonderful. I think you'll be happy with whatever you order.

[@carloshernandez-bm7hp]

@@reigngreyson4046 thank you for replying. I’ll give it a try someday. The day I go it’ll have to be on a Thursday so I can try the bakery on this video too. To be honest I haven’t been South in awhile because I get discouraged by the lines when I return. My sister is on board to go so in the next couple of months we’ll try to go. Even though I don’t like Italian I might try your recommendation. Stay safe! God bless!

[@reigngreyson4046]

@@carloshernandez-bm7hp You are preaching to the choir about the lines. My wife lives in TJ, so by extension I do too. Don't let the line fool you though, if you want a great night out without breaking the bank, TJ has some luxury for regular SD prices.

La Ventanita looks AMAZING and the tortas at the car wash? Damn. Thanks, G.

[@boitoiful]

Who knew!? Caesar salad came from Tijuana. I could watch you eat all day Gareth. J

[@alfonsotorres1247]

thank you for showing this amazing culinary side of the city! helping other US citizens to know that they are safe here and that because of the cultural mix you can have a little pice of flavor from every state of Mexico here in Tijuana!😁

[@billyd647]

Great video! Interesting to see the alternative food options. Got to be honest… I think the street food has my vote!

[@sir_scraggs6539]

Yo, i live in La Cacho! This little colonia is like a little European village, it’s very laid back and everything is walking distance. There are many food treasures here and coffee! It’s also very progressive and community oriented.

[@joensd]

Caesar's it's great. Been there a few times. Watching them how's they prepare the salad is such a show. Amazing food. Yum.

Tha Caesar salad footage had me in my feelings.❤️

I went back to Tijuana for the first time in 14 years! & I gotta say, All I knew where taco and birria spots, but this side of the culinary industry in Tijuana is new to me. Thanks for the guide! I’ll definitely be hitting some spots next time I make the drive down to TJ. Thank you!

[@jasanmiguel]

Wow! Every single place on your Tijuana trip so far are top notch, highly rated!!

[@tadah98]

I’m really surprised that people don’t know that Caesar salad came fro TJ. I was raised in Palm Desert we just to go to TJ every. Couple of months, the only diff I see is the garlic should be prepped at the table,not taken from a chopped up container, garlic has a natural heat that only come out when it’s really fresh. It is my favorite salad, so I make it from scratch every time. I come from a restaurant family so I’m really picky about ingredients…..

[@oAgL214]

Most people have no idea.

[@MareTranquillitatis]

I've never seen salad preparation set to a classical string quartet before. I'm going to have to try that from now on. Great video, by the way.

[@ned8249]

I worked at an Italian restaurant in Hilton head island and would have to explain night after night why we didn’t have a Caesar salad because it was not Italian but Mexican. They never believed me. 🙃

[@QVelle430]

I'm fascinated with that Caesar's Salad!

[@markwduns]

That torta looked amazing, and I'm thinking the car wash/torta joint is a severely untapped market in the states.

[@Magical_Thinking]

A car wash with a torta cart would do great in San Diego!

[@AlPha-nc6ih]

I would be the fattest guy in the city but my car would be clean enough to eat off lol

[@jacknewport2560]

The car washes here in Tijuana are amazing! And they get my Peugeot super clean!

When my family visits from Chicago we always go to Caesars, it’s a beautiful restaurant, they have valet parking and all their food is delicious! I’ve never seen security out front, but I never felt it was necessary. 🇲🇽

[@breakingpoints4019]

Because cartels are on levels of danger like forest fires. When the color is red they put extra security it Tourist locations I've seen armed military outside for that reason.

Looks like some bomb food. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend a restaurant called “Sabor a mi” It’s located in Zona Rio. From now through September (when the season ends) the Chef can give you a detailed explanation of the fine art that goes into making Chiles Rellenos en Nogada. It’s a true Mexican emblematic dish. The work that goes into the dish is meticulous, unique and like no other. Great video!! Have fun in Baja!
