Riding by the Rules

Tijuana Taxi Express Delivery Service

Sorry, Charlie. Your days behind the wheel are over.

Thanks to one little misunderstanding with a cranky police officer and your total disregard for the speed limit.

Good thing Tijuana Taxi Express still knows how to drive 55. The brainchild of Uptown’s famed Tijuana Bar & Grill, it delivers all your lunch, dinner, or brunch favorites — like the fish taco platter (grilled or fried tilapia with Cuban rice and black beans), pollo de pasta (chicken sauteed with garlic and tossed with manchego cheese and penne pasta), or Brazilian boneless ribs (served with Catalan mushroom sauce) — right to your door.

And since your joyriding, er, errand running is temporarily on hold, you can also rely on the Taxi to bring you an entire selection of convenience store items (more than 250), including household cleaners, canned goods, and even the newspaper.

All you need to do is meet the $15 minimum and live within two and a half miles of the restaurant. No driver’s license required.

Phew.
