1. The food was AMAZINGLY delicious! Never a hit or miss I love traveling to the OG spot in tj! 2. The environment, the ambiance of THIS taqueria was spectacular and the service was awesome the young lady in the front with purple hair had such an amazing attitude and was very welcoming I really enjoyed the fact that she broke down and explained in very nice detail what each item was in the menu highly recommended always !

Vampiro adobado was delicious - good spice level & I loved the melty cheese on the crispy corn tortilla tostada style. Smear of guac finished it nicely!

New Mexican taco gem alert! Opened a month ago with trendy vibes--staff sing while crafting fresh tacos (so fun & lively! ). Tried beef, pork, and beef tongue (the tongue was insanely tender--TOP PICK! ). Toppings are staff-served (no self-service ). Tacos lovers, add this to your must-visit list ASAP!

Def a good option for street tacos in DT. I mean sometimes you don't wanna wait in a crazy line for tacos el gordo and if that's the case this is second best taste wise. Please please please be warned they put beans in their tacos so if your like me and despise beans make sure you tell them to omit. Their adobada can't come close to their competition but their carne asada is def wayyyy better!

Only tried the Assad fries here, which were very solid. Fries were crispy, good amount of meat and overall good balance of ingredients!

the food was good and the service was quick and great. i would say that the food is a bit on the pricier side. the tacos are a lot different from the ones i've had before near my area in oc but i do like how they add guacamole on some dishes. it's wasn't crowded on a sunday night but it wasn't sparse either. id say it's a nice place to eat and people watch.

Finally had a chance to try Tacos El Franc. Everyday I'd pass by the line was HUGE. Until Saturday night it seemed reasonable. I ordered 1 taco de asada, 1 taco de al pastor, and 1 vampiro de asada. After about 10 minutes the order was ready. I asked for a side of the cebolla but that is sold separately. It's $4.65 before tax. The asada had an amazing taste to it. Apart from the smokey flavor it also had a nice seasoning to it. They also add beans onto them as well. Both the taco de asada and vampiro tasted hella good. The... read more

Super busy when an event is in town but the food was worth the wait. Different variety of proteins to choose from but no chicken.

Best tacos we had during our week in San Diego! This was my first time trying a "vampiro" which is like an open faced tostada with a layer of melted cheese on top and it was fabulous. The pork here was so flavorful and cut right off the spit - a must! There was a line out the door for good reason! 

Business response:

Gracias Jamie! We’re so happy for your review, it made our day!! We’ll be waiting for you next time you’re around!
