Tijuana鈥檚 vibrant culinaryTijuana鈥檚 vibrant culinary, arts and craft beer culture has landed the city on the New York Times鈥� list of the 52 Places to Go in 2017.

Tijuana ranked No. 8, right after Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming and before Detroit, which it called 鈥渁 comeback city set to make good on its promise.鈥�

Under the headline, 鈥淭rading an unsavory reputation for a great food scene,鈥� the Times said Tijuana is undergoing a culinary renaissance and cited the city鈥檚 craft brew pubs, chic coffee houses, 鈥渉ipster food trucks鈥� and trendy Baja Med restaurants as driving forces in the city鈥檚 turnaround.

鈥淭hough still rough around the edges, this fast-growing border town is on the rise,鈥� the Times said, also noting Tijuana鈥檚 proliferation of luxury high-rise condos and a new, $60-million transit system.

TijuanaTijuana, Ensenada and the Valle de Guadalupe have experienced a gastro-tourism boom in the last five or so years, with food-savvy visitors from San Diego, L.A. and beyond crossing the border for authentic street tacos, pristine seafood, bountiful produce, craft beer and unique Baja wine.

Tijuana鈥檚 cuisine, in particular, is influenced by its residents鈥� far-reaching global roots 鈥� from Sinaloa to Oaxaca to China, said Derrik Chinn, who runs the Turista Libre tour company, which is leading a Taco Tour next Sunday.

鈥淚 think this gastronomic diversity is something much of the world doesn't necessarily know about Tijuana,鈥� Chinn said. 鈥淏ut it's something that comes together here at the border in a culinary Petri dish of sorts, making for unique fusions and inspiring new takes on cuisine that we're seeing, with a new wave of creative efforts in the city's ever-expanding collection of food truck parks and other start-ups.鈥�

The New York Times鈥� ranking highlighted two of Tijuana鈥檚 culinary destinations: the Telef贸nica Gastro Park food-truck hotspot and La Querenc铆a, the signature Baja Med restaurant from chef Miguel 脕ngel Guerrero.

鈥淚 feel very honored 鈥� it was a surprise to be mentioned. Being (a) native of Tijuana, I feel very happy for my city,鈥� said Guerrero, who is as known for his hunting and fishing for his own ingredients as he is for coining the phrase Baja Med.

Tijuana鈥檚 positive ranking comes at a time when much of the news in the U.S. about the city centers around its record murder rate, foment over gas prices and shortages and trepidation over the incoming Trump administration鈥檚 immigration policies.

The Times鈥� annual list, which was published in the paper鈥檚 Travel section today, is geared toward adventurous, sophisticated travelers who trot the globe from the Atacama Desert, Chile (No. 2) to Zermatt, Switzerland (No. 4).
