After venturing to Tijuana in 2017, I new immediately that I would have to return. Not only did the city call me back for soul-searching, but my food list was still too long! There were many things I did not get to eat on my first trip and I simply had to satisfy my curiosity before too much time passed. So I returned to TJ about 3 months after my first trip.
There were some restaurants I visited again (Alma Verde) and some I tried for the first time (Mision 19). Now that I knew the city better and did more research, I could be more selective in what I ate and where I went. Here's the list:
1. Food I wished I had but didn't: Tacos El Franc, the most famous in the city
2. Food I had but wished I didn't: a tres leches cake which was sickeningly sweet
3. What should have been on the list: Octopus pizza at La Justina – the best thing I ate!
4. Biggest surprise: how messy it can be to eat Birria when it doesn't come in a pre-wrapped taco...
5. Most delicious meal: Mision 19 Chef’s tasting menu
