Now that my buddy has new tank in truck, we need a few good places to eat in Tecate with general locations so we can fuel up our selves. Any
suggestions ?

There used to be a great chicken place in a tyre repair shop just west of downtown...across from the Red Cross.Pompano - 7-21-2008 at 01:36 PM
What are those sugar stick doughy things we eat from the vendors while waiting in line to cross? I like em.
For a little finer dining, I would drive on down to Lajas or Mustafas. They are top shelf.

"well you can go to "tacos jorge" really good tacos next to "caliente" , "los amigos" good carne asada tacos, la guerita are really good ask for the
burrito..."
And,
"The big panaderia on the main drag past the zocalo is still there and still going strong.
Also, if you read, you might want to check out some of the short stories by Daniel Reveles. They are set in and around Tecate and are a delight to
read. Some of his titles are "Enchiladas, Rice and Beans"and "Tequila, Salt and Lemon". The short stories are charming sweet homage to the life and
times of Tecate. They're an easy read and could help get you in the mood for your visit. Some of his stories are food and cantina related."
I heartily second the recommendation for Daniel Reveles' books, they are a very well-written and insightful stories about Tecate and its inhabitants.
Have a great trip!Paula - 7-21-2008 at 05:06 PM

Churros!
I love 'em!! Do they have them on the line in Tecate? We're thinking of crossing there soon, and now that I'm thinking of them I'd hate to miss out!elizabeth - 7-21-2008 at 05:14 PM

I would definitely agree on Laja...but, where, what is Mustafas?
Mustafa

Mustafa is very good, about 10 klicks south of Laja in San Antonio de las Minas.
Directly across the street is Corre Camino, which is my favorite in that area (well, next to Laja)
Mustafa has a middle eastern motif but also Mexican food.
They are all good,
Sorry not one good answer to the real query, however,
because I too would like to now of good restaurants in Tecate.
