Tijuana Moods comes after two great Charles Mingus hits like Pithecanthropus Erectus and The Clown, although it wasn't released until a few years after being recorded. So, it must be taken into account that when Mingus himself proclaimed on the back cover that Tijuana Moods was "the best record I ever made", he had already recorded important albums like Mingus Ah Um and Mingus Dynasty. In any case, the level of performance and composition on Tijuana are clearly exceptional.
