Casa de Leo Restaurant occupies a spot inside Plaza Paseo Chapultepec on Tijuana's Blvd Aguacaliente, placing it within a corridor that has become a reliable address for the city's mid-tier dining scene.

Cerveceria Ramuri occupies a corner of Tijuana's Zonaeste district where the city's craft beer culture and ingredient-forward cooking intersect.

Caesar's Restaurante on Avenida Revolución holds a specific place in cocktail and culinary history: the Caesar salad was invented here in the 1920s, making it one of the few restaurants anywhere whose influence on a global dish is both documented and still on the menu.
