Main Avenues of at the Zona Rio in Tijuana.

Paseo de los Héroes Avenue

One of the most important avenues in the whole city of Tijuana, in English means Road of the Heroes. Along this avenue are located most of the financial, commercial, and touristic businesses of Zona Río and the entire city. Insurance companies, numerous banks, such as BBVA-Bancomer and Banamex, and shopping squares, such as Plaza Río Tijuana, the largest mall in the city, have their headquarters in this avenue. Also, the cultural heart-point of the city, the Tijuana Cultural Center, is on Paseo de los Héroes. Two recently-built skyscrapers are exclusively occupied by two different hospitals and its corporations. Most of the high-end hotels of the entire city are located in Paseo de los Héroes avenue.

Paseo de los Héroes is also noted for its many monuments and sculptures, like the Monumento a la Raza (Spanish for Monument to the Race), the Abraham Lincoln statue, the Ignacio Zaragoza statue, the Cuauhtémoc statue, the Lázaro Cárdenas statue, and others, to which the avenue largely owes its name, Road of the Heroes.

Sanchez Taboada Boulevard

In contrast to Paseo de los Heroes or Aguacaliente Boulevard, this is not one of the main avenues of the whole city, but rather only of Zona Río.

There are restaurants offering food from Thailand, Mongolia, Greece, Brazil or Israel, not to mention the typical Italian, Spanish, French, Argentinian, Chinese and American foods, plus the wide-spread Japanese sushi.
