Food scene
Cuatro Cuatros resides on 2,100 acres of nature between the vineyards and the ocean. They have a winery, hiking trails, a boutique hotel…and perched high on a cliff overlooking the Baja Coast, sits one of my favorite sunset bars. It’s a bit of a treasure hunt to get there but the views are so worth it.

Hands down the best winery in Valle de Guadalupe. Not only was their wine great, but they have so many options for anyone who doesn't enjoy wine. They have a tequila tasting option too.
They have a full bar and lounge upstairs with great music. Lastly they have an open air restaurant where you can sit on hay.

I was amazing surprised by this hidden gem... The food is made with a Mexican fusion to die for.
One of the dishes I ordered was a Ceviche style dish. (Picture below) it was the perfect blend of citrus, spices.
They have very earthly flavors... and have many vegetarian options even though most of their dishes are fish/seafood based. The prices are very reasonable and the customer service is great as well.
Will definitely come back to taste the rest of the menu !!

Bar
Recommended at night. Ricky's place is the best dive bar in Northern Baja California. Cheap beer, plenty of tequila and a great time.
This little dice bar is a must see in Baja! It's dark, it's dirty, it's perfect! It's a dive bar, don't expect anything more. If you're ok with that then you will love Ricky's! The drinks are cheap and do their job! Service is great! The atmosphere is very dive bar-esque. There are thousands of dollars taped to the walls along side bras, underwear and a collection of photos of the best 70s muffs you'll ever see south of the border. Don't pass this place by!

I loved this place. There was great music, very cool decor (cheese graters as pendant lights) and lots of mezcal. It seemed hip and laid back. We tried two mezcal flights. I'd never had a creme version before and while it wasn't my favorite, it was great to try.

WOW! I am totally impressed with this craft cocktail bar. Talk about taking it to another level... This is totally not what anyone could expect in TJ. They have elevated the cocktail to another level and can rival the best craft cocktail bars in the world. This place could easily succeed in NY, Paris, Vegas, or LA. My cocktail was the Agua Caliente and was one of the best craft cocktails that I have tasted in a very long time. The service was beyond top notch! I can only say that this is one of the best craft cocktail bars in the world!

Wow, just wow! This place is sooooo unique and incomparable to most restaurants. Original, fresh, delicious cuisine presented artfully and beautifully. We ordered several things and each one was unique and delicious. We started with the portobello ceviche, which was finely diced portobello and veggies. Then we had the broken pot or maceta rota and it was roasted vegetables, rye dirt and chard dressing. We also had the rib eye chicharron, which was served with a caramelized onion puree. Topped it off with the bone marrow which was just marvelous. Several drinks from their mixed drinks menu were all delicious and well-presented.

This place is the nicest brewery I have been to in TIjuana so far. They have a big selection of beer and although I didn't try any appetizers they have an abundance of gourmet choices. Not to mention the Dragula beer, very tasty and delicious! We also tried The Aurora and that was very good as well. I like that the brewery is clean and the environment is very relaxing. The roof patio has plenty of seating and a cute arrangement of flowers and plants.
