What the creator captured
Vagabrothers discovered that Tijuana is undergoing a cultural renaissance driven by local entrepreneurs and artists rather than catering to American tourists. They were particularly impressed by the innovative 'border food' and the explosion of the local craft beer scene which features over 70 breweries. The brothers concluded that the city's new sense of self-respect is transforming its reputation from a place of sin to a hub of culinary innovation.
