About

For over a century, Caesar’s Restaurant has served guests in the heart of downtown Tijuana as the birthplace of the world-famous Caesar salad. In 1924, its creator, César Cardini, improvised with the ingredients he had on hand and crafted a dish that would become a global icon.

Prepared fresh table side using the original recipe, the Caesar salad delivers a memorable blend of flavors that has crossed borders and delighted even the most discerning palates.

Alongside an exceptional menu of quality dishes and drinks, this tableside-prepared classic remains a must-try and it truly is delicious.
