Tijuana Street Food

While Tijuana earned a reputation for being a salty, even dangerous town with more of a bar culture than a food scene, the city is reinventing itself and is well worth visiting just for its delicious street food. Our guide Fernando Acosta, president of the Association of Food Trucks, shows us that delicious and inexpensive street food can be enjoyed throughout the city in a casual and social atmosphere. We make a stop at Mariscos Ruben to taste ceviches and aguachiles that won owner Mirtha Rodríguez Vega “best street food in the world” during the 2016 Street Food Congress in Manila. We visit the taco institution, Taquería Franc, then continue to Telefónica Gastro Park to explore Tijuana’s hipster food truck scene.
