Tijuana visit to see Mom and eat!

About every 2 weeks my brother and I go to Tijuana to visit our mom. We drive down there, pick her up and she takes us to the best street style food. She always has a new place for us to check out, but for some reason when it comes to eating birria, Angel and I usually stick to the same place. It's also 2 blocks from Moms house so it is pretty convenient. This time we went with Ethan whom got tired of me teasing him about how good it is everytime I came back.



The birria they make is Guadalajara style but is it from beef instead of the popular goat, which is equally as good. They also have carnitas, potato tacos, a cup fo the birria broth, tortas ahogadas (drunken tortas), and a plethora of sides to put onto your taco, they can make micheladas with clamato, and put a smile on your face. In case you ever find yourself in the Gabilondo area of TJ, the neigborhood behind the old bullring, you need to go to these tacos and then thank me afterwards. Here are some pics to tease you a bit more:



The broth you are looking at is delicious. Add some cilantro, cebolla, limes, habanero hot sauce and slurp away like tasting a fine wine, just a bit different of a flavor profile!



The taco you see above is a new finding for us. The place is called Tacos Memo's. The taquero is hilariously cool, he wears sunglasses, asks you if you want the combo, which you say Hell yes! They make these tacos with handmade flour tortillas, followed by a proper smearing of refried beans, some carne asada, grilled chorizo, guacamole, salsa, cilantro, cebolla, and followed by some chicharron cracked right on top. Pair with a grilled jalapeno and a Mexican coke, eat it all, then repeat until you are satisfied.



This is Cecilia, our mom and the reason why we go down to Tijuana. This is one of my favorite pics of her at our wedding on 8-8-8 at Hotelito Desconocido and I'm sorry Disney, but this is the happiest place on earth check out the link and you'll see why. Look at her all serious waiting for Juan and Farra to make it official. She would kill me if she knew her pics are on the net, but she wont find out. In case anyone ever wants to go down to TJ let me know and we can plan something. Cecilia will be our guide and you will return very happy!
