Best Things To Do in TIJUANA, Mexico 🇲🇽 Avenida Revolución Shopping + Telefónica Gastro Park

[Music] [Music] [Music] ready welcome this is a new video a new day and we are here just around the corner from our place at a little spot called el pan nuestro and we're going to try a very interesting very mexican sandwich this morning and it's called torta de chile here there is with a green salsa or red salsa and you want to try something more dangerous there is habanero available that's it this is your first video you're watching this is umberto with border tours he's been with us the last couple of days daniel's behind the lens and as always subscribe to this video it means the world to me but we're starting off here with breakfast at a little spot for torta de chile which is basically for those americans that don't know or those that don't speak spanish or understand it's a nacho sandwich an aggressive start to the day but yeah that's what we're getting into and i know mexican friends watching this if you say chile chiles are nothing like nachos but that's the best thing that we have to compare it to so here we go let's dive in breakfast of champions my friends this is torta de chile chiles all right here we go i'm starting off with a habanero because if it's really spicy then i can eat the rest of them but you tell me this is and it looks like it this is a drunk meal right this is after a few drinks exactly this sounds like something you'd have after college back from the bars coming home let's give it a try forward here we go [Music] oh here comes the cake that's not too bad honestly the cheese cuts a lot of habanero flavor so it is there it's knocking on the door but you got the screen open so you see it and you feel it but you don't let them completely in just a nice buttered bun with this crunchy homemade tortillas which chips really with mozzarella cheese and it's habanero sauce with a little crema on top simple delicious and it's even good when i'm sober but if i was drunk this might be just electric man it's one of those meals but a great way to start the day we're gonna carbo load because we've got a full-on day today i didn't think i was like this sounded weird to me not a big nacho guy i've never been into chips or fries or anything like that i'm more of a meat guy as you've seen from the last episode but this is a great meal and if you're on a budget if you're in college or something chips bread butter and cheese this is like someone made this when they didn't have much at the house they were trying to figure out what to eat i put them all together and it works let's see what happened after a fun-filled breakfast we are here at mercado hidalgo that's great actually this market is a local market and there is a lot of vegetables a handcraft fruits yeah let's go explore see what we can [Music] find just beautiful chilies right here look at these dried chilis here just all these incredible colors a fresh chili has a name but if you dry it the same chili has a different name for example jalapeno fresh chipotle dried the same thing same thing so chipotle is jalapeno but dried what how it for the works or pudding and your glass and the top is like a more or less like a michelada okay but it's delicious this one and if you guys remember the birya video when daniel was raving about the capiro tada this is the sugar that you use the special sugar pelon is the name of the sugar here it is that is beautiful [Music] this is the pitaya or an english dragon fruit i've never had it this color usually it's the other other style water very light actually this is like the white one it looks absolutely beautiful and you think it's going to punch you with flavor and it's very subtle flavor to be honest with you guys it looks beautiful but the taste isn't overpowering you know you think it'd be like a pineapple or something wild it's pretty watery well it looks cool i need one of these after the taco tour so we're walking by and we found a candy shop and these two mexicans just got very very excited so we had to stop inside and understandably so it is a whole room full of nostalgia it feels like and this is a and this just tastes like an apple paste almost like your mom tries to get you to eat the healthier um fruit bars and this tastes like a fruit bar but it's delicious all right it's not too sweet i'm super something yeah super healthy probably not a lot of sugar in there every year [Laughter] very popular here in mexico based on coconut okay sweet it's delicious we just pour some more yeah anything coconut is like a macaroon oh man sweet a little a little almost pushing too sweet from me but right at that edge that's like a macaroon that is delicious dried pressed coconut all right so this is kahetta cajeta correct correct and cajeta is a mexican version let's say abduselech correct yeah and this one is cabra or this one is so this one's of goat but only the coronado bran oh my gosh that is just dense dense caramel or caramel depending on what coast you watch this from oh my gosh very dense caramel that's dangerous yeah [Laughter] you said after this stop we're gonna get diabetes [Music] we are right now in plaza santa cecilia which is a very popular place here in downtown tijuana it's a very iconic spot there is a lot of mariachis and ortega all the time actually san francisco from musicians and the catholic religion is super important for our mexicans here [Music] here right now and revolution avenue is uh between nueve which is night from this point to the arch is more or less the tourist area after they are it's like uh the red district here in tijuana the other entertainment uh-huh but all this revolution i mean it's super safe to take a while you will see a lot of bars a restaurants tourists available tequila tasting here yeah that's great great spot here [Music] all right right in the heart of avenida revolucion walking along the streets now a lot of different tourist shops different restaurants a casino a couple of microbreweries and then on the side rodriguez which is a little passageway with a bunch of different shops and stalls we're gonna walk in there now [Music] so before 94 it was hard for mexico to get imports of different products nike being one of them so they said we're just gonna make our own so these are mexican nikes so it's not actually a nike sign it's a p it's a p from panama wow that is a tree yeah so this it's not a nike if you look close that's a p not a nike sign go yeah yeah you're ready for a new pair he's ready to go i got you you walk for me you deserve it let's see he's got him success wow that's good 10 how much that's twenty dollars twenty bucks and now we're team there's somebody low for eighteen bucks eighteen eighteen bucks [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] wow we are right now inside the highlight which is a very important palace here on revolution avenue and it's close but let's see i mean we we got a lot of luck to be inside this place right now wow so this used to be the the i don't know what you call it highlight but this usually the court so the spanish community here made a big push to build this palace for highlight and look at you can even see the scoreboard behind here you can see the scoreboard still up there behind the theater and this is incredible but now it's more for concerts and events but you can still see the remnants of once was the highlight in 1947 the old palace high life forum opened to crowds of people from both sides of the border eager to witness one of the fastest paced sports in the world high hilai or palo tabasca the building itself survived a fire in 1957 and games continued for almost 50 years before the sport dwindled in attention today the iconic landmark serves as a venue for concerts and events and also an obvious reminder of spanish influence i mean we are right now in old anton tijuana which is the revolution avenue and all these spots are more for tourists but this street in particular is for locals la cayo sexta the number six street here and on sixth street just off revolution avenue we venture into a great little dive bar for happy hour it's a no-frills spot with the jukebox playing one time-tested bartender and covered in photos of mexican legends this is the perfect place to slip into the fabric of tijuana and out of respect to the locals who frequent this place i'm going to make you work just a little bit to find it but i know the real ones will appreciate that all right and after a long day very close to where we're staying where our airbnb is located right across the street essentially is telefonica gastropark said to be a great place a variety of different food options for dinner let's go inside check it out [Music] yeah i take this off just for a second but this place is incredible this blew my expectations out of the water a lot of people suggested this on instagram there's seating indoors and outdoors there's even a staircase where people are just hanging out having some drinks very cool enclosed area even a waiting list we're just waiting for a table right now but there is probably over 20 different stands it seems like everything from tacos and burgers to ramen and barbecue a ton of different options looks like artisanal beer in the back and also a place that they're serving up cocktails very impressed this is cool all right let's get something to eat i don't know what i'm gonna eat yet but we're gonna look at all the places and find something see what we got all right we have made our decision we sat down at the bar here and we went with umo luxury hot dogs i went with griega which is the greek so i got cherry tomatoes a beef hot dog tzatziki on top and feta cheese let's give it a try listen after i take this bite don't judge me all right cause it's gonna get messy [Music] you can tell it's good and it's fresh and it's a homemade hot dog because it's not as tightly packed you know it's not really tightly packed it's almost more like a sausage italian sausage but that light tzatziki on top it's a great choice this is an awesome spot and daniel got a bacon one so he got bacon hot dog with candied bacon on top [Music] and to drink i got a little mescalito i saw the bar up there and they're mixing up cocktails it looked really good so i got this this has camarindo jamaica pepino hibiscus pepino which is cucumber tamarindo which is
