Please tell them you read about this on BajaNomad.com - thank you.
The Tijuana Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Tijuana Restaurant Association jointly announce the continue of a gourmet dining program for
international visitors: the TRIPLE A TIJUANA RESTAURANT PROGRAM.
The purpose of the program is to help Tijuana?s visitors, primarily those from the San Diego and Southern California region, more easily discover the
broad range of upscale and adventure-eating options in the Tijuana area and enjoy more affordable and more unusual gourmet alternatives. Since
downtown San Diego and downtown Tijuana are only 30 minutes apart, south-of-the-border dining is an easy and economic option for local U.S. residents.
Eight of Tijuana?s finest restaurants participate with dining options that include Old World Mexican cuisine, Mayan, Aztec, Argentinean,
French-Mexican fusion and Italian.
And, you will have the opportunity to taste them all in one place on Thursday, May 19th from 7:30 to 9:30 PM in the La Candelaria Banquet Room,
located in Tijuana on Blvd. S?nchez Taboada No. 10611-A Zona R?o. Where, you will be introduced to the chefs and enjoy some of the best wines of Baja
California in a great atmosphere.
Participating gourmet restaurants are Rincon San Roman, La Diferencia, Cheripan, La Hacienda de Tijuana, Zio, La Taberna TJ, Cien A?os and La Casa del
Mole.
The Tijuana Convention and Visitors Bureau along with The Adventurous Gourmet will take care of all the arrangements, including reservations and
transportation. For more information, call 619-521-9595 or email: Sandra@lagerdep.com

- Each restaurant will stamp your PASSPORT on the first visit, whether you are having lunch or dinner. Accumulate nine stamps in a one-year period and
you'll be invited to a free GOURMET GALA, hosted by all the TRIPLE A TIJUANA restaurants. You can hobnob with restaurant critics and sample exciting
dishes that are not on the menus.
Free wine will be provided by one of Mexico's award-winning wineries.
