I literally fell madly in love with "Tacos El Franc" (Downtown San Diego) after ONLY one dining experience with my friends. The bold, rich flavors surely intensify with every bite!! Satisfied that "Tacos El Franc" have UNIQUE gourmet tacos & their customer service is outstanding! The taco shop has a relaxing, laid-back vibe that makes it easy to "unwind" while you eat their gourmet tacos! Verdict is in! I'm "divorcing" Tacos El Gordo for "Tacos El Franc!!" LOL.

Hola Laura!! Wow this is a great review. We must point out that have amazing taste! :D. All jokes aside, GRACIAS for the kindness. Please come back soon!
Had high hopes based on the rave reviews from the other locations, but was let down. Al pastor is usually my favorite, but I was disappointed with how mushy the meat was, like it was over marinated. The cabeza was okay, and the corn tortillas are solid, but for the same price I would much rather go to el Gordo up the street. The side of cucumbers and radishes are a nice touch, but they charge for grilled onions and chilies which is lame.

Mushy Asada? We'll check into that. Strange since its mesquite grilled not slow cooked, but we'll check.
4.5 stars. Asked a local what the best tacos in town were and they recommend Tacos El Franc. :) The tacos are loaded to the brim with meat! I got a carne asada taco and an el pastor taco. I liked the el pastor more than the carne asada because it was saltier and juicier, but both were a 5/5 for me. It's a little more expensive than some other places but I didn't mind because of the flavor and portion size! The line was 10 people long when we arrived but went by super fast-- we were seated and eating within 20 minutes of ar... read more

Gracias Yamile! Thank you for the compliment!
Came in and even though there was a line it went by fairly quickly. I've heard of this place through TikTok and decided and wanted to give it a try. I came with my daughter (2y/o) and husband We got a taco de tripa, asada, regular fries, and mixed regular fries, and a quesadilla. Total $40 Overall taste. Quesadilla was good, my husband said the tripa was good. The French fries were crispy. The adoba was not my favorite it was crispy but the taste wasn't my favorite I've had a different one that I prefer. The asada I ... read more
I didn't know what to order so I asked the Valeria at the counter to just give me a bunch of tasty food. Wow, she succeeded. My Lyft driver had told me these Tijuana tacos were the real deal and he was right. I loved every bit of it. The decor was crisp and modern while the tacos that tasted of Tijuana traditions. The Lengua was my favorite. So tender.

Gracias John! thank you for taking the time to write this awesome review and adding awesome photos in it. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Hope to see you again soon! Gracias!!
Craving TJ tacos, but too lazy to cross the border? Tacos El Franc will not disappoint. From their Mexican tile lettering, to the music, and of course their food... they definitely brought a piece of TJ to Gaslamp. Oh, don't forget to get their horchata 10/10. Had the infamous taco asada 8/10 and mixta fries 9/10 - no wonder they're Michelin rated and featured on Netflix. Lived up to the hype and some.
