Great service, was greeted when I walked in and had someone talk with me and give recommendations as I looked at the menu. Got the Cabeza Vampiro (tostadas) which were very flavorful and had really big portion of meat. Had 2 tacos adobados (trompo/pastor) which were also very full with meat and had guac & sauces already with great flavor. Would definitely recommend!!

So lets Taco about El Franc. Really good tacos and Fries. There was no line when we went for Lunch plus they serve beer. The service was friendly and helpful. Do try the carne asada fries. Our group of 4 really enjoyed them. We tried the carne and the pork. All excellent. Go manga manga

I've been to Tacos El Franc in Tijuana before it was great! I was in San Diego with a buddy so I decided to stop by this location and give it a try. I ordered the tacos al pastor, and they were good overall. The only thing that caught me a little off guard was the guacamole. I was expecting the special guacamole sauce like they serve at Tacos El Gordo, and I could've sworn I had something similar at the Tijuana location. Instead, it was more of a regular guacamole, so I was a little disappointed about that. Still, the tacos... read more

We were heading to a concert and wanted tacos before we went to Petco. There are a lot of choices but we had read about Tacos El Franc so gave it a try. We ordered a variety of tacos and mulitas and everything was very tasty. Service was quick and even on a busy Saturday night we were able to find a clean table. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, including a patio in the back. There is more on the menu for us to try and we will be back.

Signature Tacos El Franc taste! Service is quick and easy, and the inside has a cute "secret" back room that resembles TJ. The horchata was good, but definitely on the sweeter side. Also, note that this location does not have the naranja agua fresca, and I wish they did!

Tacos El Franc is a Michelin recognized Bib Gormand taco shop, known for quality and value. I was excited to give their tacos a try. We sat in the back patio and snacked on sliced cucumber and radishes while we waited. Once my name was called out, I walked up to pickup the Adobada and chicken tacos I ordered. They were topped with cilantro and a dollop of guacamole. I really liked how tender the corn tortilla was and that their flavor didn't overwhelm the taste of the meat. Two tacos was enough for me for lunch. The music ... read more

Such a lovely experience! The service was top notch and the food was delicious. As a vegetarian, they do offer multiple options. The salsa bar is great with cucumbers, radishes, limes, and salsas. There are also plenty of delicious beverage options.
