What to expect

  1. 45m
    Enjoy the most famous "Adobada" (Al Pastor) in Tijuana. We provide a private, seated experience in this high-energy institution. Your host will handle the ordering while you soak in the atmosphere of the city's top-rated taco spot.
  2. 45m
    Step into the 1960s at the birthplace of Tijuana's taco scene. We visit this historic alley where the smoky charcoal smell and the local vibe create a true foodie paradise. It’s the most authentic stop for traditional grilled meats.
  3. 45m
    Experience a "Carne Asada" masterclass. Known for their meticulous preparation and hand-pressed tortillas, this stop defines the nightly ritual of Tijuana locals. A clean, premium environment for an unforgettable feast.
  4. 45m · Admission ticket included
    Home of the ultimate Quesabirria. We dive into slow-cooked, tender beef birria served with melted cheese and a side of rich "consomé" (broth) for dipping. This is the crunchiest and most flavorful stop of the night.
  5. 1h
    A sensory journey through Mexico's flavors. We'll walk through the stalls to see artisanal cheeses, spices, and traditional sweets. It’s the perfect spot for photos and to understand the ingredients that make our tacos world-famous.
