Cine Tonala

Three-level bar/cafe near Seventh and Revolucion. More than just a movie theater, Cine Tonalá provides a spacious rooftop dining experience in downtown Tijuana. Their menu has five choices of tacos for $5-6 a pair all prepared with small handmade tortillas: pork jowl, umami mushroom, octopus, marlin, and braised beef rib. The last one is my favorite. It features a mound of shredded beef ribs on top of refried beans with pickled radishes, cucumbers, and red onions. Chase it down with a choice from the ample cocktail and beer selection. My recommendation, the Santo Tlali: a mezcal-based drink with maracuyá (passion fruit), pineapple juice, and habanero bitters.
