La Revu, Cultural Heritage
Everything that, as a legacy of the values and work of past generations, is now part of the individual or social assets that have deserved and continue to deserve preservation. Indeed, what one generation passes on to the next is not just material things, but also ideas, knowledge, values, customs, and traditions.
Avenida Revolución, as its name suggests, has been Tijuana's main thoroughfare and a witness to the social, economic, and moral changes in our city; sensitive to the ups and downs of national crises, it is always capable of reinventing itself.
Haven't you visited it yet?
What are you waiting for? Come discover the heart of downtown Tijuana, an effervescent avenue that, with its souvenir shops, cafes, bars, craft beer, and culinary hidden gems, creates a unique and unmistakable identity.
Walking along "La Revu" can be a cultural delight. During your visit, you cannot miss the Jai Alai, a city icon inaugurated in 1947. You will also find the famous "zebra-donkeys," which for over 100 years have been a favorite for both domestic and international visitors looking to take home a souvenir photo.
And, of course, there is the gastronomy… It was 1952 when the "La Especial" steamed taco stand opened on La Revu, and they have been famous ever since for their salsas and pickled vegetables. The love for this avenue is so strong that the family behind La Especial created La Justina, a concept that revolutionized the gastro-bar scene on the avenue by offering an innovative menu to pair with local craft beers.
These two establishments are a clear example of the diversity of Baja California's cuisine, combining typical Mexican ingredients while highlighting products grown and harvested within the state.
To add to our gastronomic fame, we have hosted renowned chefs like Anthony Bourdain and Rick Bayless, who have helped put Baja California in the international culinary spotlight.
Furthermore, the promotion of Baja Californian gastronomy has been key to its international recognition, thanks to the participation in countless activities by renowned local chefs such as Javier Plascencia, Miguel Ángel Guerrero, Diego Hernández, Guillermo “Oso” Campos Moreno, Jair Téllez, Benito and Solange Molina, and Sabina Bandera, to name just a few.
