" Delicious!!! TOSTADAS EL MEZON has got to be the best-kept secret in Tijuana. I went last weekend and tried their famous tostadas de cueritos. The flavors exploded in my mouth! I’ve tried many Mexican eateries, but nothing compares to this. The service was good; our waitress was attentive, and we were seated promptly despite the crowd. The atmosphere vibrated with energy, filled with laughter and chatter. Definitely a place I will recommend to my friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)

I'd still return, hoping for quicker service next time as the food certainly deserves it! " (*Curated Review*)
