" I recently had the opportunity to dine at CABEZA DE RES EL SINALOENSE, and back home in the states I’ve been looking for something that resembles authentic Mexican cuisine. When I walked through the door, I instantly felt the welcoming vibe. The homemade tortillas were rolled out right in front of me and served hot! I opted for the carne asada plate which was loaded with flavor. My only complaint was the slight delay in getting my order. It was a busy day, but it certainly didn't tarnish my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to this restaurant based on reviews and was not disappointed! The service was quick, and the food was delectable. I specifically loved the machaca meat; it had just the right seasoning. The only downside was the place seemed cramped, but it had a cozy feel to it. Will definitely return for more of those amazing tortillas! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been enjoying my meals at CABEZA DE RES EL SINALOENSE for years. The tortillas are made fresh every day, which makes their tacos something spectacular. This place is usually busy, but the wait is worth it for the quality of the food. While the dining area is straightforward, it has a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel at home. You cannot leave without trying the daily special! " (*Curated Review*)

" Love this place! Each visit feels like a culinary adventure into Sinaloense flavors. I always look forward to the handmade tortillas with whatever they're serving that day. It's also incredibly affordable, especially considering the quality of food. My only reservation is that it can get busy and cramped at times, but the energy is part of the experience! Definitely a must-try in Tijuana. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very disappointed with my last visit. I went during lunch hour, thinking I could quickly grab a meal, but there was a long line. After a while, the service was unfriendly, and they made a mistake on my order. I understand it can get busy, but the attitude of the staff didn’t make it any better. The food was good, but I'm not sure if I would return for the service alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Found this restaurant on a whim, and I was pleasantly surprised! The homemade tortillas are the best you’ll find in Tijuana, paired with a great selection of Sinaloense dishes. The portions are enormous for the price! The only downside was that it was busy when I visited, and the wait was long, but trust me, it's worth it. I will definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" After multiple visits, I've seen the good and not-so-good sides of this restaurant. The food is consistently excellent, especially the handmade tortillas, but the service fluctuates. Once I experienced great service, but another time the waitress seemed overwhelmed and not very friendly. Still, knowing how excellent their food is keeps bringing me back! " (*Curated Review*)
