Wish they had the classic counter set up like they do in Tijuana; it is incredibly annoying to have to go in and sit down, especially with how crazy the line can get. Even when there is no line, I rarely want to make my whole party stop and sit down just to get a taco. In addition, the wait for food after sitting down is also quite long. Food is pretty good, I think their more niche cuts of meat like lengua and cabeza are better than other places, but their carne asada is not the best in SD. Their fries are very generous, t... read more
The food is good and it's close to what you get in Tijuana. That's also the problem, the tacos are the same size as Tijuana yet $5 a piece. I spent easy 100+ on my two tiny kids and another adult who barely eats. I think I'm better off driving to Tijuana itself and paying less than half for probably better quality food. The service wasn't great they bring you the food stating what it is and dart off. Maybe I needed more salsa maybe more lemons? Maybe a refill on a drink which was never asked. I try to be reasonable because... read more
Tacos el Franc is a 10/10 in my books!!!! Best tacos! So yummy!!! It's also a really good location with parking. Service is really good as well! I recommend trying the quesadillas and the orange agua fresca! Delicious! They're dog friendly!

Hi, Maria. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Yes, it will likely be the most expensive Carne Asada fries in the area. Yes, your order will take longer than other places. Yes, it will be average sized. Yes, every ingredient will be perfectly flavored and make it worth every penny. I am a loyal Taco Stand customer but had to try Tacos El Franc on this side of the border. It was excellent. 5 stars all around. Only critique is they don't have a California Burrito on the menu. I know its not a Mexican dish/plate but if you're trying to stay open in the San Diego ma... read more

Hi, Luis. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
I waited til the hype died down to try this place here in San Diego and although they earned a Michelin star I wasn't impressed, I've definitely had way better and for a more reasonable price too! I tried several items on their menu and there was just one that stood out, their lengua taco was pretty tasty. I also tried their suadero, carne asada and al pastor tacos and carne asada mulita. Overall it was just okay. In my opinion it is very pricey. They even charge you for the chiles and grilled onions when it's usually co... read more
Friendly service, and great food. I love that they seat you and you don't have to play the "hurry up, they're leaving, grab the table" game. Also it's a very big space so you don't feel claustrophobic. With all the taco places in this area, Tacos El Franc is by far my favorite. Prices are a little steep for the size of the taco, but expected for the location. Still worth it IMO.

Hi, Jill. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Great service the waitress came up to us about 6 times. Adobada was awesome and asada was very juicy. Tortillas were very soft. Cabeza was great but salsa was a little too spicy for me on that taco. Best in San Diego hands down. I have been to all the famous spots in south bay and downtown. This spot is my new favorite.

Hi, Steven. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Tacos el franc may be better than tacos el gordo. The tacos here were phenomenal huge and packed with good price. I got the Al pastor which was good, but I think I like tacos El Gordo better. The Asada taco was my favorite here. It was delicious smoky and good flavor. These ones come with beans which I thought was weird, but I tried it and didn't really prefer it. I got another batch of those without beans. The suadero what is tender and juicy. The service here was quick and efficient. I can't wait to come back to this place... read more
