Tacos El Franc has been on the list. San Diego is so lucky, there's Oscar's, Tacos El Gordo, I mean the list just goes on. I really wanted to try the Michelin-rated Tacos El Franc. My friend and I stopped here right after I got off the plane. I went with the suadero, lengua and cabeza (ya girl was ready to EAT). I was a bit confused because maybe my street tacos got mixed up with my friends' but the cabeza and lengua tasted the exact same. I think they might have given me two cabeza's as lengua is usually more tender. The s... read more

Good luck!
Brand new establishment on fifth Avenue. They also have locations in Northpark and Tijuana. Excellent food they need to get a beer license. Highly recommended.

Gracias Mr Tony! We are very happy you loved our food. From the bottom of our hearts…. Gracias!
The Adobada is a must try! The restaurant is small but very clean and organized service. They were busy but not as busy as tacos el Gordo down the street. The order came out in literal minutes. We ordered lengua and Adobada tacos, both were delicious! Warm, fresh guacamole, and served with all the fixings. Definitely happy to find a taco that tasted authentic from Mexico without having to cross the border. I would definitely go back and try more on the menu!

Yeiiii. Gracias Oralia! We’ll be waiting for you when you come back! Gracias!!!
Yummy, yummy! I love that they offer veggie tacos such a nice touch. I'm so glad they're expanding, because now I can get my TJ taco fix close to home. The flavors are on point, and they even have fries! Service was great , the staff was quick and friendly. It wasn't too busy when we arrived, but it filled up soon after. Being in the Gaslamp, it definitely attracts a fun, party crowd, which I actually enjoyed. Can't wait to come back . I really hope they continue to thrive!

Awesome review Teresa! Gracias very much!! Please come back soon!
Absolutely the best tacos in downtown and maybe in san diego my 3rd time there my go to spot from now on
Business response:
We agree!! =D. Gracias Abel! We are very grateful for making us your go to Taqueria!
Tacos El Franc has officially brought Tijuana flavor to the Gaslamp! I tried the cabeza taco and frijoles con carne -- both were amazing. The meat was tender and rich, the beans perfectly seasoned, and the salsas had that bold, authentic kick you expect from a true Baja taco spot. Service was fast, the space was clean, and you can tell they're keeping the same quality that earned them Michelin recognition. So good to have this level of tacos right in downtown San Diego!

Thank you so much for the kind review Dennis! we're happy you loved our food. Please visit us again soon!
Have been so excited for Tacos el Franc to open in Gaslamp after hearing all about its Tijuana hype! The shop is small and welcoming and wasn't busy on a Saturday night. I got my usual Tijuana taco order which is Adobada and while the tacos were delicious, I still prefer the freshness and flavor of Tacos el Gordo. The guacamole honestly took over most of the flavor and the Adobada didn't pack the punch I was hoping for. Worth a stop to try it out, but I may be sticking with El Gordo in Gaslamp

Gracias Luiza!
the taco options in downtown are plentiful, so many places offering the same menu.. how do you know which is the "best"? well, when i see references to a michelin star and netflix, i just had to stop by and let me tell ya .. best tacos in the area, hands down .. there i said it!! tacos el franc may have limited parking options , but that's about it. the quality, clean (not greasy) ingredients are present in every single bite. the char on the adobada tacos and tortillas give them a whole new dimension and bring me back to... read more

Hola Luis! Thank you so much for this beautiful review. We invite you to try eating our tacos in our restaurant. I believe you will love them even more. Thank you so much Luis!!!
New taco spot on 5th Ave in the gaslamp. This felt like a more authentic spot, as they offered meats like tripe, beef tongue, etc. no chicken tacos here! You order at the counter and they call your name on a speaker system, which is nice. There is a lot of seating; indoor, outdoor, and semi outdoor on the cutest back patio! The Mexican music, red and white tables and chairs, staff, and decor gave all the vibes of a traditional Mexican taco shop. We ordered a variety of tacos (including carne asada, adobada (my favorite), ... read more
