On behalf of my family, thank you @tacoselfranc for your support during one of the most challenging times of our lives. My dad was always up for good tacos, so we sent him off the right way -- with one of the best taquerias ever. As our family gathered after the funeral, your team welcomed us with warmth and respect. Fresh food, incredible service, and enough space for everyone to come together and honor my dad. Every plate felt made with love -- and every person kept saying the same thing: "He would've loved this." From ou... read more

Never thought I would see the day that Tacos El Franc made its way north of Tijuana, but that day is here! Definitely had to try it on my recent visit to San Diego. It's not like I come here everyday, so I got almost every meat on offer: adobada, asada, cabeza, suadero, tripa, and lengua. The tacos remind me why El Franc is so much better than El Gordo. The meats were bursting with flavor and super tasty! Adobada is so much more superior than El Gordo that it's not even funny. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but I unde... read more

I love the original El Franc location in TJ and so happy they opened a location stateside and kept the same quality!! Really great food, good quality meat and they offer a wide selection of more traditional tacos while still offering options for vegan / veggies out there. The staff is great and they are very accommodating! You get seated pretty quickly and there's plenty of seating all around. Really appreciate the ambiance as they have an open kitchen and you can watch the taqueros! Highly recommend coming to El Franc!

Food, service, ambiance, music, price! What more can I ask for in a Mexican Restaurant? Piñatas! Nevertheless, still a 5/5 for me! Thank you, for accommodating the Cristobal-Alegado clan in our time of sorrow as we celebrate the life of my extraordinarily simple, humble, yet very talented uncle, Marlon.

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

First time eating here this past Monday. The food was delicious, I recommend the Birria quesadilla. Service was good. The ambiance was chill outside. You can choose to sit indoors or outdoors. No reservations needed. Plenty of parking outside.

Hi, Sofia. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

Had to come and try the tacos to see if they really tasted like the ones across the border. Flavor is pretty close on the suadero and carne asada, but there was something that was a little different from the ones in TJ. I can't tell if it was either the seasoning or the meat as I heard the meat at the zona rio location is fresh as the owner also owns a butcher shop in TJ. Now the tacos were good I'm just comparing them to the TJ ones. I also ordered my fav agua de naranja (can be overly sweet) and the frijoles preparados (be... read more

Pros: Service, atmosphere, clean, and time Cons: Food Finally got a chance to try this place when it wasn't busy. Had a great experience coming here, shoutout to the service and the staffs for keeping everything clean. Food was decent though. I ordered adobada and asada tacos. Good size for a taco too.

I had been hearing good things about their Tijuana location for years, so when they opened this location I decided it was finally time to try it out. Unlike another great taco shop in the area which will remain nameless, this isn't a place where you get your meal at the counter then find a table (if you're lucky) to eat at, it's more of a fast casual place, where they come and take your order then serve you the food. Everything we ordered was top quality. I stuck with carne asada tacos, but my wife chose a lengua tostada, wh... read more
