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.

    First time dining here, I celebrated my 30th birthday. I received a sweet birthday postcard and had an AMAZING waitress named Sky. She was very kind, informative and just sooo sweet!! All of the food was beyond delicious. I have never been to a restaurant where I can say the food, service and atmosphere was all a 10/10. When I say everything was a 100/10, I am not being dramatic. We ordered about 7 or 8 dishes for the table and shared (between 4 people). Each bite was savory and melt in your mouth delicious. The drinks were yummy as well. I wholeheartedly recommend, I can’t wait to go back!!

    Great experience with a lovely ambiance. The food surpassed out expectations . We started with The provolone fondue and pretzel bread. 5 stars. I had the Korean skirt steak. An abundance of flavors with a slight kick. My husband had the Bolognese. I felt that is was a bit on the sweeter side but my husband said it was perfect. For dessert, we have the Key Lime Crème Brûlée. It was real good but the tart was a bit too much for me to finish.

    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!
