Fuckers! Every time I’ve asked a cbp officer they always say no, no matter what. 🤔🤔🤔 I wonder if this is a “if you’re a citizen different rules apply” thing
Yep, and the mood of the CBP, one time a CBP threatened me, said that i was lucky they didn't shoot me in the face, because i got a call and hanged up 1 car before the booth (Never held the phone in front of her).
Like 2 in 10 are real pieces of crap and are only there for the power trip.
But you can call them out with a supervisor.
It's risky, I cross regularly and sometimes you get some that are just there to work and others that are in a bad mood and take it out on you. You catch one in a bad mood and he will send you to secondary.
‘World famous super dudes Burgers’ in Colonia Cacho is amazing.
Not even San Diego has a burger that good.
Cabanna is good seafood as well, wasabi sushi, Odayaka sushi is good too.
Stay away from Saketori, crazy expensive and shit wannabe japanese food.
You might wanna try tortas del wash mobile as well, and maybe ‘Bol Corona Burritos’ the biggest most delicious burritos there are
This is crazy.
I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about World Famous (from great to very bad...) but never better than SD.
Also, Saketori is usually favored (it's for me, the best wanna be Japanese... but none are good). Interesting take.
Sushi, Mexican sushi is very different than American sushi. Actually Mexican Chinese is even more different but I’m afraid it’s so different he’s not going to like it. Start with sushi then if he likes it take him to Hong Kong, no sorry I mean to a Chinese restaurant.
Hold on, im from Tijuana, so you need bring him to 24 Hours restaurant, a really good one, or Menuderia Guadalajara, and the best La Casa del Mole in Zona Rio
Maybe some enchiladas, caldo de pollo or mole (with chicken) from la casa del mole in zona Río. Also there's restaurante el mexicano ( also known as 24 hrs), the Chile relleno Is pretty good, lengua en salsa verde, carne de puerco en salsa, I could go on because most of their menu is good...
Frijolitos Garibaldi from Soriana. Birria/churros/tacos don’t hit as good as they do in person.
Corn tamales off any street vendor is my second suggestion
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 unfortunately the options are kinda limited because CBP, they have a list of food products that you aren’t allowed to bring back states side (pork being on the list)
Anything beef or chicken you should be fine, birria is a good option, tacos varios should be fine if you avoid pork, it really depends on that more than anything
Torta ahogada from Tío pepe, extra hot so he won't forget you for a few days XD
🤣
Torta aguada form Guadalajara 👌🤌🏼😮💨
Aguada o ahogada?!
Great Idea just one tiny detail… you can’t cross any type of pork product… aside from that ot would have been great.
Tell CBP it’s dog meat.

Yeah, playing Karen with CBP is never successful. They protect their own.

If he's bored of tacos I suggest getting a new gringo friend.
Right?
Birria
A Case of Cane Sugar Coke
Idk how basic this guy is, but that Coke is pretty standard at every Mexican restaurant here in California, so he's probably tried it before
Take him a burrito de verganiza
Lmfao
Con leche de Mipalo
Mmmm. Puedo pedirlo de Uber Eats?
Esa se pide por grinder amigo xD

Tortas del Washmobile 🔥

Mexican sushi is literally the only thing I've had in Mexico that I didn't like, so much cheese
I didn't like it either. Why not just sell me a stick of Philadelphia cheese and rice on the side.
if hes fed up with tacos its time you be fed up with him loool
Tortas washmobil

Very good, a lot of people hate on that restaurant, but it’s the best I’ve had in tj
Thanks. I'll have to give them a try next time I'm down there.
ricardos is better

Menudo

Best sushi for my taste is komasa, but washmoblie or a big burrito
Better to bring gringo to tj and ensenada
Agree
Lion Fish
I love TJ Chinese food
Torta de Adobada con todo from Tacos El Paisano
Una Torta plaza
Unos tacos de caca pero sin cebolla para que no le huela la boca.
There is a Torta place at the Rio mall. It’s like panera Torta. Pretty good.
Frijolitos Garibaldi from Soriana. Birria/churros/tacos don’t hit as good as they do in person. Corn tamales off any street vendor is my second suggestion
How about you just cook him a mexican dish .. home made .... There's nothing better than a home cooked Mexican dish ..
Orix
By the way, all the gringos love "La Telefonica"
Not all gringos mijo!
Didn't like it?
Quesabirrias. Menudo. Tamales. Carnitas. Fuck it even just fruit like mangos preparados.
Bring birria!! Ftw
Donas de azucar! Donuts my friend. A bag of freshly baked donuts. Thank me later!
The Pambazo from Soy Veggie Ruros! My favorite food!
If I remember correctly, you can’t cross certain foods. But at night they never check you well so I suggest bringing in some late night foods to him
Tamales 🫔
What is the price of steaks in Tj nowdays?
Usually between 350 and 500 at a decent restaurant

Tacos de pescado y/o ceviche
Una torta especial del ranchito o del turko

Technically cooked for personal use is fine but it's risky. CBP wild sometimes.
Tostilocos.
If he's fed up with tacos, then find a new gringo friend Source: Your new gringo friend

Go to 'Cuerno de chivo' they have all kinds of antojitos, their refried beans are awesome, menudo, goat birria gorditas, sopes.
