Get the adobado taco!! Delicious little street tacos in the Plaza Bonita mall. Very casual seat urself and u get a server and can order from the table. Fresh guac on some of the taco options, you do have to ask for radish and cucumber from the server if u want them. Their hot sauce and silverware u would get up and get urself but servers bring everything else and they clear ur table and plates pretty quickly. Good spot for TJ style street tacos.

There were a couple people in line before us but we all got seated very quick. The location is very clean and service is quick. We ordered lots of things and kept ordering while eating. Server was very attentive and well informed of the menu items to help us understand what they were. Adobada tacos had a good marinade and came with guacamole, onions, cilantro, and salsa. It was a little on the spicy side but I enjoyed the flavor. Carne asada taco came with beans, guacamole, cilantro, and onions as well and it was good bu... read more

Adobada tacos is my absolute favorite at this spot. It seems my husband and I go at least once a week, we can't find anything wrong about this place. All the aguas frescas are yummy! Highly recommend :)

Tacos are really good we had great service from arlete. She took her time explained all the questions we had in regards to meat options and even gave us extra sauce on the side and offered us different options with tortilla the tortillas. If you get her as your waitress please tip her she's freaking awesome!

We went to Tacos El Franc for dinner and were seated pretty quickly, which was a good start. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, with a typical neighborhood taqueria vibe--nothing fancy, but comfortable enough for a relaxed meal. Food-wise, it delivered. I ordered three adobada tacos and my friend tried a variety, including adobada and lengua. The flavors were solid and the tacos were prepared well, definitely the highlight of the visit. Service, unfortunately, was where things fell short. After we finished eating, my ... read more

Food is awesome! Best tacos in San Diego. Service is great, it's a dine in place and they get the food out really fast. Ambiance is nice, kind of loud but not too bad. Family friendly. My wife, friends and I are huge fans!

Hi, Myro. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!

First time at this location and finally got a chance to try as its been on my saved collection since it opened up at the Plaza Bonita mall. Everytime I've come by, its typically been a weekend and the line is long. I understand why now, why this location is big inside and outside seating, it is table service! So a step up from Tacos El Gordo. We were quickly greeted (as it was a Wednesday early evening) and sat outside as requested. We were offered plate of cucumber, lime and radishes. The menu is simple and short, tacos, ... read more

Tried this for the first time on Saturday 12/6 and was disappointed with the service at the bar. First, the server misunderstood the order multiple times. That's okay, misunderstandings happen! The food came out in less than 5 minutes and it was great. The meat was flavorful and the tortilla was nice & soft. However, we finished our meal and still did not receive the soda we ordered. So, we asked for the soda and the check. We got our drink but no check. We waited about 10 minutes watching our server help other people. When ... read more

Ok I'm a fan! Tacos El Franc opened in National City in July 2025. According to their website, they pride themselves as "The Original Tijuana Tacos Since 1996". Also recognized by Michelin Guide Tijuana in 2024 and 2025. I finally made it there to eat with my roommate in September 2025. We tried the following: - Lengua Tacos - Suadero Tacos - Cabeza Tacos YUM YUM YUM!! Food is delicious. Service is excellent. Ambiance is fast casual. FYI - There is also now a location in Gaslamp / Downtown area of San Diego. Food ... read more
