Roy Choi, renowned chef and gastronomic expert, tried Tijuana's tacos a few years ago. He chose to eat not only at the finest establishments, but also explore those tacos whose reputation was forged in the streets from the heat of an improvised grill.

"Tijuana's tacos are exceptional," Choi stated. "I am not exaggerating when I say that these are the best tacos in the world. I spoke with everyone and I asked them comparisons such as "What about the tacos in Mexico City? And Oaxaca?"... and the answer was unanimous: "Nothing to do with them!" Tijuana is considered the world capital of the taco, and personally, I completely agree with this statement."
