What an experience! Be opened minded to the unique food style they offer as they are Tijuana Inspired. When visiting town I usually go with other choices, yet this was recommended from a close friend at sdsu! My order consisted of one Taco de Suadero ( a cut between the Belly and the Leg ) & one Tostada de Carne Asada (Steak). Both were flavorful and served to perfection. My curiosity grew and I ordered again two Quesadillas, one being Flour and one being Corn. I enjoyed the Flour more for my preference yet both had an imme... read more

everything was delicious! my favorite was the brisket, it was tangy and spicy and super tender. adobada was a top contender and carne asada was tasty as well. for the amount of orders that they have, they get the food out pretty quick.

Food: A bit disappointed as they were not exactly the same as the ones in Tj. I'm personally not a fan of beans in my tacos. However, the guacamole and tortilla were pretty good. Service: Pretty quick and friendly staff. Atmosphere: Plenty of indoor seating with a very cozy ambiance with lights towards the very back. There's also some outdoor seating available. 

Business response:

Hi Viviana! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, we really appreciate it. You’re absolutely right to expect clear communication when ordering. Our asada items traditionally come with beans (just like in Tijuana), but we should have made that clear to you upfront, and we’re sorry that we didn’t. We truly value your visit and your input, and we’ll make sure to do a better job communicating this moving forward. We’d love the opportunity to serve you again and give you the experience you deserve. Than... read more

Fast food, but so good. Fresh and tasty in the Gaslamp District with a cool vibe. We got the SUADERO TOSTADA; they are the bomb! We also tried the mixto, which was good but not my favorite. The flan was very good. Prices are reasonable for what you get.

Michelin rated tacos? Say less! Freshly made tortillas combined with an assortment of hot off the grill fresh meat is a recipe for scintillating tacos. I wish I ordered a whole bunch more but the suadero and al pastor street tacos were my absolute favs and completely off the charts. The suadero came fresh off the grill, was uber juicy and bursting with flavor. The al pastor was just as good while the splash of guacamole on all the tacos with the salsa just took it all over the top. I hear the original Tacos El Franc... read more
