Tijuana - Post Report Question and Answers
What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?
I used Uber Eats often. Too many restaurants and experiences to list here. You can find excellent Mexican food/excellent seafood. Tijuana has become a venerable foodie paradise with all kinds of cool trendy restaurants. One can eat a pretty nice meal that will be half the cost of a comparable meal in the U.S. There is a dearth, however, of good Asian and other world cuisines, but San Diego has outstanding authentic Asian food, as well as a pretty wide variety of cuisines from all over the world. Whenever we were craving Thai or Japanese food we would just pop-over to San Diego. - Apr 2023
Tacos are king in TJ, but ceviche, tortas (sandwiches), pizza, ramen, etc. are available and at about 50% of San Diego restaurant prices. Many restaurants deliver, but Uber Eats is also in TJ. Food truck parks are popular and allow you to sample lots of different types of food in one place - they're also great for groups. No one I've talked to has complained about the food here. - Nov 2017
