Came hungry and left completely satisfied after my experience at Tacos El Franc! We were greeted by a super hospitable and welcoming gentleman at the register, and we were honestly shocked by how fast the service was. Even with the quick turnaround, they definitely did not sacrifice quality. We ordered the cabeza, adobada, carne asada, and tripa tacos, plus an order of adobada fries to share. While the prices are on the higher side, it's absolutely worth it for the quality of the ingredients. They do not skimp on the protei... read more

Loved it! Finally, the spot from TJ is here in the states. For anyone that has been to TJ, knows Taco el franc is the spot over Gordo. Surprisingly, this spot is not crowded or busy. This place is almost the same as the TJ one which is why I don't know why it isn't as busy. Ordered Taco de asada, adobaba, lengua, and Cabeza. Everything was amazing. The asada was very flavorful and seasoned. I still think this was not as good as TJ but not by much. The adobaba was great! I think better than Gordo's. Service was good, i... read more

Get the Adobada tacos, first item on the menu. This spot is super casual, Think TJ style tacos where u order up front and seat urself. It was kind of a long line but went by quickly. The flavors from the pork adobada were fantastic (I personally liked it better than tacos El Gordo but pretty on par). Not a very big condiment/side bar with salsas but u can ask for them when you pick up your food.

Carne Asada Vampiro taco - 4 out of five stars Like a tostado with guac, cheese and beans Adobada taco - it was on the spicy side for me; 3 stars Brisket taco - 1 star ; it felt like it was missing something It was pretty busy at lunch ; it probably took about 10-15 minutes to order and get my food so maybe order ahead. It's fast casual ; order at the counter. They had plenty of seating including an outdoor area in the back It was good but not as good as the TJ location and I have a couple of other local spots that I pref... read more

Delicious! Fun! On our way out, the owner asked how the food was, and I told him the vegetarian taco was the best I'd ever had! He said if you think that's good, hold on one minute! And he brought me a vegetarian vampiro! Wow! Even better!! Had a great time, incredible service!
