Are there any american style bbq restaurants in Tijuana? If so I would like to try them.

I have never eaten there, so I have no idea if it is American style and I suck at street names, but there is a restuarant called BBQ right at the bottom of Colinas de Agua Caliente. There is a nice glorieta there that is a fountain just after you pass the little police booth and there is a university of some sort there too. It is the same street where there is a yogurt city and american cosulate. I always want to eat there when I see it, but we have never stopped.

A friend of mine from ensenada gave me some pulled pork bbq that he made. When he said bbq I was expecting a bbq taste like what we have here in the states, wow, the taste was completely different, caught me off guard. Hard to describe the flavors, I believe he used dried chiles to make it. Hotter with little to no sweetness.
When catchup becomes a staple of every mexican household then I'll believe there ready for our sauces.

Oh, I so agree that chilies, and dried chilis, salsas and spices are a big part in Mexican tastes! They are in my half Mexican home as well, we eat ALOT of that and I always have a homemade salsa on hand.
At the same time I am amazed at the amount of ketchup that we go thru! I do not eat it for anything but french fries which we do not even eat that much. Now Eduardo and his two kids will polish off 2 huge bottles a month. I have to hide it so they do not put it on the nice food that I make them, before you think that they are just trying to cover up my cooking...that is not true, I admit that I am a great cook, HA! They even put it on sandwiches, ewww, maybe hamburgers but sandwhiches? and eggs,... just everything!

Beverly Burgers does some BBQ. I tasted his sauce and asked him if it was Bullseye, he replied "only the best.'

I'm stateside now!

Mexican Barbacoa and American Barbeque are completely different...

I've made BBQ ribs for friends and my wife's family and the loved it... I think there is big a market for it in Mexico, it's just not a lot of people know how to do it right down there...

There's even a Texas Ribs (used to be Tony Roma's) restaurant in Acapulco that is always packed with Chilangos... call anything "Estilo Americano" and Chilangos are on it like white on rice...
