Fun walking tour in Tijuana! Our guide Alexander was great and definitely knew some of the best places to visit (he seemed to know everyone in town!). A couple from Belgium, Philip and Stephanie, were also on the tour with us and we had fun getting to know them!!

Our first tacos were from a street cart and were excellent. Next we had pork tacos from a small shop and they were also very good.

Next up, we visited a couple of bars. The first one was the oldest bar in Tijuana, the Hotel Nelson. This place has a history with Carlos Santana as one of his early ‘house gigs’. Alexander suggested Mamadas, a drink made with rum, coke, mineral water, and lime with a salted rim. It was really good and surprisingly refreshing!

Later we had margaritas at Margaritas Village on a nice deck overlooking Revolucion Avenue.

Another stop was Victor’s Liquor Store and Tequila Museum. We tried some great tequilas and bought a few to bring home! … they also had a mezcal that we did NOT bring home!

To cap off the day we strolled through some streets and visited a few markets.
