Best Mexican food we’ve ever had in Europe! For some context, my mom and I are from San Diego, CA and eat a ton of Mexican food because most of it is gluten free without weird modifications (all hail the corn tortilla!). We are taco connoisseurs, we’ve tried them in France, Scotland, England, and this is by FAR the best and most authentic. When we said “gluten free” (in English) the staff instantly knew what we were talking about, there was an allergen legend on the bottom, and the staff told us they could do other things gluten free than we’re marked on the menu. I got a tostada with chicken on a corn tortilla. The chicken was very authentically Mexican—the rest of Europe couldn’t figure out the correct spices to make it taste real, but Tijuana’s got it! Black beans were perfect. Mom got 3 tacos also on corn and her only complaint is the soft tacos should have had 2 tortillas each so they don’t fall apart—she had to eat them with a fork. We got these to take away, which they had no problem with, wait was about 10 mins on a nice bench outside. Mom got a margarita which tastes totally correct (and way better than the super sweet ones in Mexico). I got a virgin pina colada which was super refreshing after a hot tiring day. I have attached photos of the food as well as the menu. We very highly recommend this place, it far exceeded our (admittedly low) expectations. And it was a nice change from from pizza and pasta and spritzes.

Semi-decent Mexican food. The menu is clearly marked GF, vegetarian, and vegan, and they fry their corn tortillas in a separate fryer. I probably wouldn't go there again (I'm definitely spoiled from all of the amazing Mexican food in the USA), but I needed a break from GF pizza and pasta.
