Caesar's Restaurant Bar

Here’s something you (probably) didn’t know: the Caesar salad was invented by a man named Caesar Cardini at his eponymous restaurant in Tijuana in 1920s. Since then -- save for a short stint in 2009 when the restaurant closed its doors for some time -- Caesar’s Restaurant-Bar in Zona Centro has been serving its now globally famous salad, among other traditional Mexican dishes, as well as dishes influenced by Italian and other international cuisines. Expect anything from roasted beef marrow to tacos, Oysters Rockefeller to burritos, and Beef Wellington to Spaghetti Bolognese. Caesar’s is one of TJ’s longest-running restaurants, and as such, as well as the founding restaurant of something as influential as the Caesar Salad, if you find yourself in Zona Centro territory, you’d be remiss to skip a meal at Caesar’s.
