Hornero abre sus puertas en Tijuana el 12 de febrero del 2009 bajo la idea de adaptar el estilo de hacer pizzas más antiguo (el Napolitano), al paladar tijuanense. Por eso Hornero ofrece más de dos docenas de pizzas diferentes en su menú, desde la clásica Margarita hasta innovadoras combinaciones, como la pizza de Camarones Enchilados o la de Mole Poblano. En el 2011, a pedido de nuestros clientes expandimos nuestro menú, agregando carnes y pescados, logrando uno de los menús más extensos de la ciudad. Cuidamos siempre la calidad y frescura de nuestros ingredientes, que resultan en el inigualable sabor de nuestros platillos. Combinando lo anterior con la atención personalizada, un ambiente acogedor y un precio justo, en Hornero vivirás una experiencia culinaria única.

    Simply put, one of the best meals I have had the privilege of enjoying! Delightful server, Calvin, was very in tune with the timing of our meal and our needs. The fixed menu was perfect for Christmas Eve, as it kept the meal flowing and decision-making to a minimum. Every course was delectable from the scallop crudo, the creamed mushrooms, and the sea bass, to the date cake with walnut ice cream! Mezcal hibiscus cocktail was creative and tasty, as well! I will definitely be back!

    Wow! From the hostesses to the manager, it is 100% evident that their priority is on quality and ensuring the guest enjoys their food and experience. Our girls enjoyed the kids menu, and we enjoyed the pretzel with fondue, crab cake and then the Korean skirt steak and Salmon. It was all so well cooked and tasty. This is our new favorite spot! Thank you for such a wonderful evening.

    The small plates are entirely original, owing more to Asian and other fusion than to Spanish tapas. The cocktails were original and enhanced the meal. Ambience was great

    The food was fantastic. All their steaks are great but try the bone in wagyu rib eye. Best steak ever. And we have eaten at most downtown steak places. Matt’s drinks were perfect. As usual. The service by Luis was great, but a special thanks to Ruby for taking such great care of us.

    We have dined at Ironside a number of times and have not been disappointed. The seafood is fresh the service outstanding and the overall ambience enjoyable. Parking is just around the corner, albeit a little expensive for 2 hours. The wine selection is limited, so if you are looking for a variety of fine wine, you may be disappointed. Overall a great dining experience.
