El Museo del Taco

Pass it on, pass it on, dude, this museum is not his typical museum 🌮 Immerse yourself in a space composed of 9 exhibitions and interactive and immersive rooms, meticulously designed to stimulate all your senses and give you a unique experience in every corner.

El Museo del Taco on Avenida Revolución deconstructs a Tijuana-style taco so visitors can learn everything from how to light the charcoal for the carne asada to how to make tortillas.

El Museo del Taco, a three-story building on the iconic Avenida Revolución in Tijuana, deconstructs a taco into nine interactive rooms where visitors can learn everything from how to light the charcoal for the carne asada to how to make corn tortillas.

“We Tijuanenses are very proud to have the best taquerías,” said Antonio Gamboa, general director of the Museo del Taco. “This is a place for the whole family, where they can learn a little bit more about tacos.”

It’s less a museum than an experience, which starts with visitors removing their shoes and donning socks provided by the museum. Visitors are given a key and a locker to store their shoes. From here, the tour winds through different rooms: coal, tortilla, meat, avocado, salsa, onions, taquería, adobada.

Near the end of the tour, visitors can rank their Top 10 Baja California taco shops. They can choose from some already selected or write their own.

Each room has a small plaque with a QR code to learn more about the theme. Each stop has also been designed as an Instagram-worthy photo-op: a room with stuffed walls where you can don a hat and take a picture with a pink cow, a salsa-themed mirror room, or a white “onion” ball pit. At the end of the tour, you have two options: take the slide down to another ball pit or simply walk down the stairs.
