What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was particularly impressed by the original Caesar salad at Caesar's Restaurant, noting that the tableside preparation and the crunch of the romaine made it the best in the world. He also raved about the smoky, charcoal-grilled picanha and rib tacos at Tacos El Vaquero, which he described as incredibly beefy and flavorful. Overall, he celebrated Tijuana as a top-tier food destination where the quality of both street food and historic restaurants is next-level.
