Service was amazing! I have been dying to try this place as I have seen that they are Michelin Star rated. I came in on a Saturday to the surprise that they were not busy. Food was great, I really enjoyed that they give cucumbers on the side! Adobada was the star of the show, I believed the carne asada was pretty on par with other rival taco restaurants. Pricing is pretty heavy, pricing starts at $4.75 per taco, not sure if it's the downtown premium or if their other location has different pricing. It was also pretty lo... read more

Absolutely delicious adobada fries. Glad they made another US location to give people a taste of Tijuana style tacos and foods. Fast service and decent seating on weekdays, weekends are packed so put your patience on!

Simply Amazing! Tacos el Franc are my favorite taco shop in San Diego. The service was fast and efficient. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. My favorite are the carne asada quesadilla. Their salsas are the best! And of course the cup with beans is a must try. The decor made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place.

Tacos El Franc Gaslamp blew us away! Our favorite taco was hands down the tripa -- extra crispy -- perfectly cooked with that amazing crunch and flavor that's hard to find anywhere else. The adobada quesadillas were another standout -- melty, flavorful, and full of that authentic seasoning that makes you feel like you're eating street food straight from Mexico. The service was fast and efficient, and the manager was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The environment was simple but authent... read more

Just tried tacos El Frank we came on a Tuesday not too busy. All the tables were full except outside. By the time I got to my seats they called my name. They gave me and my friend a free Horchata/drink of choice because they are new which we really appreciated. Great tacos. Tried the Adoba and asada. Thank you

I've been a huge fan of Tacos El Franc in Tijuana for years, so when I found out they opened a location in Downtown San Diego, I was genuinely excited. I had high hopes that they'd bring the same flavor and quality across the border. I ordered my go-to: the vampiro de el pastor - it's been my favorite item from their TJ stand for as long as I can remember. But to be honest, I left disappointed. The el pastor lacked the bold flavor I was expecting. It was bland and didn't have that signature punch that made El Franc a stando... read more

I was really excited to try the food but the service wasn't the best. I ordered to go and they got the majority of our order wrong who can we didn't realize until we got home. The only two orders that were correct was a cabeza and the carne asada. The carne asada was terrific! Really smokey and well seasoned. The cabeza was kind of bland and really disappointing. My biggest issue is that the order was incorrect and I was charged way more than what I actually ordered. None of the phone numbers listed on google work so the ... read more

I had the carne asada tacos and also shared carne asada fries with a friend. They were both really good and service was fast! Staff were friendly especially Roberto! Can't wait to go back!

Stopped in Saturday about 7:30 to pick up tacos to go. The new place is bright and clean, and full of diners. Although it was packed, orders were flying out. We ordered 6 tacos with the side of onion/peppers that only took about 10 minutes. 4 Adobo, and 2 lingua tacos. I could not have been happier with the size, taste and price. The seasoning on the adobo was perfect, and the spices in the lingua delicious. The staff was friendly and efficient. I am so glad they are open on this side of the border.
