History
The original Caesar's bar and restaurant was first opened in an alley in 1923, and its salad became famous after its reported invention on July 4 of the following year.[3][4] Julia Child said that she visited the restaurant during her youth in 1925 or 1926.[5] In 1926 it moved to 2nd Street, and a year later it moved to its current location at the Hotel Caesar's on Avenida Revolución Street between 4th and 5th streets. Cardini bought the hotel and restaurant in 1932.[6]
Following a huge reduction in U.S. visitors to Tijuana after 9/11 and subsequent long border wait times to return to the U.S., the restaurant closed in 2009, due to debt.[7] Javier's father Juan José Plascencia renovated the restaurant and reopened it in July, 2010, with a luxurious art deco interior reminiscent of the 1920s.[8] In 2017, the San Diego Reader called it the "classiest joint in Tijuana".[9] Waiters prepare the "original" Caesar salads tableside.[9]
The restaurant and hotel were featured by Andrew Zimmern in his Travel Channel television special The Border Check.[6]
