What an AMAZING experience! I cannot express enough how great this place is! My friends and I came here for the first time to enjoy some specialty cocktails before going out. I think we ended up trying every single specialty cocktail on their menu and they were all DELICIOUIS! My favorites were the Rojo Rodriguez and the smoked old fashioned. The manager was super friendly and took really great care of my friends and I! I can't wait to go back to try the food!

I liked the decor, the mixture of the textures and colors throughout is very eye catching.I really enjoyed the mix drinks and the small snacks. The service was spectacular. I went during dinner but I was told the breakfast was the most popular time. Have to go back to give a full review.

Drinks, snacks are delicious. I love the ambience, very retro and fancy-cool. My favorite bar in Tijuana definitely!
I hope the had 2x1 specials or happy hours!

Central in more ways than 1 - this is a must while navigating the sites of Tijuana. Stop on your way to Baja or upon return. Here's why: comfy/friendly vibe, delicious food, excellent coffee, and cocktails not to mention exceptional hospitality. Our lovely server hailed a cab for us. You can feel the love in the ambiance of the space, the quality of the food and drink, and staff. We all know if the employees are happy the place will thrive. This is an experience you want to add to your essentials.
The dishes we indulged in: octopus ( amazing flavor) and carbonara pasta with egg.

Intriguing place that looks like it's been here for decades though was only established in late 2018. A beautiful, bright space with a great bar, excellent food, and professional, attentive staff. The dishes we had were exceptional. The Huevos Rancheros "divorciado" (red and green sauces) had an array of contrasting textures and flavors that were very complimentary--each very fresh part stood out on its own. The coffee was decent and served with warmed milk on the side. The Hugo Rojo (red juice) was excellent and packed with bright flavors of beet, orange, carrot, ginger, and grapefruit juices. The fresh orange juice was perfection. The Florentine Benedict was mouth-watering. Perfectly poached eggs, with running yolks, on fresh heirloom tomato chunks and on top of a delicious sourdough, all covered in a perfect hollandaise sauce and fresh chives. Jhonny was an excellent and very helpful host, attentive and not overbearing, who made us feel welcome and unrushed. Can't wait to come back!

Good service.
Something like an espresso which took ten minutes was weighed out by nice touches like the server asking if he could bring my prepared food over. He noticed I was working on my laptop and instead of just plunking the food down around it, he made this extra consideration.

Good decor and atmosphere with that modern gastropub look. Think muted colors and mid century modern flair.

Perfect location. It's another success in the remaking of Tijuana's tourist zone. Anything that elevates it from the sleeze without completely whitewashing it gets my vote.

Someone said that they serve breakfast and that is not true. The kitchen doesn't open until 1pm which I can and can't understand. Functionally, the place is a bar/cafe until 1, then? Seems a waste considering that there are very few healthy food options on Revolución in the morning. On the other hand, if it's only tourists trolling for an early cocktail maybe that's all they need to be. I think they should reconsider, though, and add at least a few items.

Okay: the reason this is 3 star. This review was written in December 2018. I normally go veg in the winter months and I was pleased to find that their menu had several appropriate options for people avoiding meat. I selected a salade which included tapenade d'olives as an ingrédient and that was nice. The briny olive went well with butter lettuce, queso de cherve and roasted root veg. Except that I got to the bottom of it...and found brusied and wilting leaves. Which made me wonder what kind of attention went into the food prep. That's a rabbit hole that has no bottom when it comes to a restaurant. I also had the potatoes. Good flavors (think baked potatoes that are then fried and served along with grilled cebollita) but all of the crispy bits from the bottom of the basket were on my plate, too. The spring onion still had the tougher outer skins.

So, I'm conflicted.

I'm sure I'll go back to try this place again but maybe a little down the road after they've balanced out these quality issues.
