Go-to spot for the younger, upwardly-mobile crowd in the city. Used to be located over in San Miguel near the tollgate, but now, having moved to the city center, they are constantly packed with young socialites partying and often playing the game of Petanque, taken very seriously by some.

Skip the lines at La Guerrerense and visit instead (before or after a Margarita at Hussong’s) the Classic seafood cart in town, beloved above all by locals. Conveniently located right in the downtown area, near the original entrance to the city, close to the Boulevard. Don't miss it!

Out-of-the-way taqueria that is shady, well-ventilated, big enough to have a little bit of privacy, and tasty as hell!
Laid-back, local atmosphere.

My #1 Favorite, always with an impressive selection of fresh fish. Super out of the way, on Once (11th street). Mellow atmosphere with great service and good wines. Don't miss the tempura-fried oysters with ponzu and roasted tomatillo sauce... Unbelievably tasty; And by that I mean you truly won’t believe how delicious they are! Fantastic place to eat in the city.

The tastiest fish taco stand in town!
Can get kind of crowded, understandably.
A little bit out of the way, but well worth it.

Delicious Italian food with an eccentric owner who will describe the menu in great detail at your table. One of these places made famous by the NY Times, so you'll be lucky if you can get a table. Very lucky. Great food.

This legendary place needs no introduction or description, as it is hands-down and quite easily
The Greatest Bar in the World.
The oldest bar in Baja California (1872) and the Home of the Margarita.
If you are in the city during the week, and nearby... go on in.
If you can get in there at a decent hour (avoid Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays), it is well worth it.
