Cafe Tijuana - A Very Stylish Restaurant

Cafe Tijuana

It is not just another Mexican restaurant, something you'll notice right away. 

In May of 2018 a posh restaurant made it's debut in Zona Norte - Tijuana's Red Light District.  The location for this restaurant on the Callejon Coahuila, where the action has its focus on the a side street that runs adjacent to Calle Coahuila, the street where the Hong Kong Gentleman's Club and the Adelita Bar are located.  

This place has a look very similar to an upscale restaurant - bar in Manhattan's Upper East Side of New York City. The designer feeling is first class and rather swanky however the cost of dinning in Cafe Tijuana is not pricey.  The price of the traditional Mexican dishes are similar to what many of the not so fashionable restaurants charge in the area. 

It's location across the street from the Callejon entrance to the Hong Kong Club makes it a quick and simple solution for taking an intermission from partying at HK or the many clubs that line the busy street. Located along the Callejon are where many night clubs, and strip bars are located and where most of the Paraditas - street girls are situated so you can imagine the activity that becomes quite fascinating.

The inside of the restaurant - bar is decorated with classic photographs that illustrate Tijuana's "golden era" from a century ago when it was the number one choice to getaway for drinking, gambling, and appreciating the beautiful women. From 1915 through 1935 Tijuana was frequented by Hollywood's leading men, the American elite and the Mafia. 

Prohibition Laws from 1918 through 1933 was cause for the elaborate and grand Agua Caliente Resort, Casino and Race Track to flourish.  If you wanted to have a drink and escape the affects of the Great Depression an adventure to Tijuana was the solution.
