" Sanborns Cafe turned out to be a very ordinary setup. The menu is vast but many dishes lack that real homemade touch. I was hoping to enjoy a nostalgic meal, but it was a bit bland and unremarkable. On a positive note, the space was clean and the service decent, but overall I left with a mixed impression. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Sanborns with my friends for a late breakfast, and it turned into a delightful experience. We ordered the breakfast buffet, and while some items were just average, the chilaquiles were outstanding! The service was friendly, but they seemed overwhelmed with the brunch crowd. The ambiance was casual and inviting, making it a great spot to relax and chat. Overall, a good place for brunch, but I’d recommend trying to avoid busy times. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is definitely one of my go-to places! The menu is varied and I appreciate that it showcases many classic Mexican dishes. Each visit has me leaving satisfied, and the prices are reasonable too. The vibe is always friendly, making it a great casual dining spot. I can’t express enough how much I enjoy this place. Will keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a dinner at Sanborns, and I must say, they nailed it! The mole sauce was rich and delicious with a perfect balance of spices. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and they even shared some insights about the menu items. The atmosphere feels like a blend of traditional and modern, creating a cozy space. Will definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here with my family, and we were all excited. While the restaurant was clean and the ambience lovely, the food just didn’t measure up to our expectations. The tamales were cold! Our server was sweet but a little forgetful. I would say this cafe is okay for a casual outing, but I wouldn’t prioritize it over other spots for authentic Mexican cuisine in Tijuana. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sanborns Cafe exceeded my expectations! The arrachera was perfectly cooked, and the beans were super flavorful. The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and made sure our drinks were always topped up. The whole restaurant was clean, which added to the positive experience. I loved the light Mexican music playing in the background; it just added to the overall ambiance. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I stepped into Sanborns, I was enveloped by the aromas of fresh, delicious food! We started with some appetizers before diving into the main courses. I had a delightful mole dish which was rich and flavorful, definitely authentic! The service was attentive but never intrusive. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place for anyone looking to experience genuine Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
