La Torta Plaza Plaza Rio - Tijuana

Always good vibes. Great atmosphere. Everyone that works there is friendly and welcoming

Still one of my favorite places to take friends that would like to join me on a Tijuana adventure. Colectivo 9 is an excellent option to break the mold from your standard Mexican cuisine (but they still have that too) and explore what they're capable of besides tacos. Take your pick: Ramen Empenadas Burgers Italian There is much more too and my favorite part is always ordering a few snackable items from a few different vendors and sitting down to enjoy it with a cold local craft beer in the AC'd beer bar. Everyone always loves Colectivo and everyone always wants to return!

What a hidden gem!! Literally, unless you know what you are looking for. It's down an alley, but it's not sketchy at all!! You'll pass a few vendors on the way to finding several eateries something for everyone!! Burgers, empanadas, Italian, beer, hot dogs... Order at the location you want and they'll bring your food out to you. Not every location hands out numbers (so they know who to bring the food to), so beware. Plenty of seating, it can get a little crowded. Public restroom decent.

I have pretty much eaten something or drank something from pretty much all the vendors with the exception of the bar. I am not a fan of craft beers in particular thus my not partaking of that product. Everything here is just phenomenal from bone marrow tacos to fresh made empanadas to hand rolls of Mexican sushi. This is a must eat place. Very casual, very friendly, and best of all delicious!

This review is for the empanadas section restaurant of the food court: The flavors of each of the empanadas vary a lot, esp depending on what sauce you use. Each of the sauces costs 5 extra pesos. I think there are 4 different types of sauces. You'll have to ask for the sauces or they'll just give you one sauce with the 2 Empanada and drink combo. (They use to give all 4 included in the combo) My fav is the marlin with chipotle sauce. The Chipotle sauce goes with mostly everything but some of the sauces go better with different empanadas. Since it's only 5 pesos per, may as well take a trip to flavor town and get all of them.
