Nice spot but this will never compare to real street tacos. The ambience is nice but meat we all know this is not how real street tacos taste. You can never compare a carne asada taco cooked on charcoal grill. Owner replies upset. Don't get mad my guy. This is my opinion.
Business response:
Our carne asada is “grilled” on “mesquite” charcoal. Don’t understand the reason for your false claim. But the information being pushed here is completely false.
El gusto fue una descripción total. Si cruzas la frontera, el sabor no se compara con el sucursal original, tanto que recuerdo la experiencia cuando fui la primera vez y cuando escuché que pusieron un lugar en San Diego, tuve que ir. Los tacos tenían muchas cosas pero cada ingrediente estaba insípida. La carne asada no tenía sabor, el guacamole tampoco, la cabeza. Jamás regresaré y hay un montón de lugar que sobre pasan en el gusto explosivo que ponen a sus tacos. Fue tan lamentable porque esperaba la calidad y excelencia co... read more

No entendemos tu review. Y seguro alguien te mandó a poner esto.
2 stars because it's edible. We came in and ordered takeout and service was fast but food was completely cold after a 2 minute walk to the car. We ordered a quesadilla, 2 asada tacos, and a vegetarian taco. Nothing was salted and you can barely taste the beef. Quesadilla was barely cooked I could separate the cheese from the tortilla. Only leaving a review because I've heard such good things about this place but our food was very mediocre to put it nicely. Staff was super friendly however!
Tacos de lengua were a joke! The asada tasted like someone forgot what seasoning is -- bland, chewy, and sad. Service was just as bad, and the aguas frescas might as well have been a myth. No salsa bar, and when I asked the waitress for salsa, she looked annoyed, like I'd asked for a five-course meal. The guacamole was the only redeeming thing here, but not enough to save the experience. Definitely a skip.
Business response:
Hi Jaime, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I remember visiting your table during your meal. As you requested your tacos without salsa, onions, or cilantro, the flavor profile was definitely different from what we typically serve. We’re always happy to provide salsas and condiments on the side — just let us know! We appreciate you giving us a try and wish you all the best. Thank you for coming today and good luck!
First of all I'm a BIG fan of tacos but unfortunately I have to do a bad review on this place, this was my First and Last time I'll be going here. The taco meat seemed like if it was sitting their on a warm tray or something. Second; they don't have salsa options it's just avocado topping. 3rd the drinks are can if you order a soda and are almost room temperature. They also have horchata drink but they are already ready on a cup and not fresh out the jar. I know these Tijuana tacos spots are growing to San Diego area and I w... read more

It is evident you didn’t go to out location. There are items in your photo that are no longer there. This is a fake review. Additionally, we give unlimited salsa upon request. Our tacos are bigger than other taquerias in the area.
I had high hopes for Tacos El Franc at Plaza Bonita, especially because of my great experience at their original spot in Tijuana and the Michelin Guide recognition--but this visit fell short. I ordered the adobada and carne asada tacos, and honestly, they were bland. The flavor just wasn't there, and the salsas weren't the same as what you'd get in TJ--which was a big letdown. Our server forgot our order and had to come back to ask again, which wasn't a huge deal, but didn't help the experience. On the plus side, the food ca... read more
The employees were friendly and welcoming. The food was ok, nothing special. We first arrived to eat in but we ended up asking if we could get it to go. They were accommodating, no problem there. However, the problem arose the next day when I realized I had left my sunglasses there. When I mentioned it to my partner he surprised me by telling me he already called and was told by a female employee that they had them. He told them he'd go down and pick them up, she said no problem. Once there they told him they didn't have ... read more

Lety tacos El Frances and Tacos El Franc in Tijuana is the same business. Additionally, I will look to see what happened with your glasses. Please send me a direct message. I need to know who you guys spoke to and when this happened and a description of the glasses. If you also remember which table number and or section you sat at that would be great. Thanks!
I would say I love tacos as everyone else but I would go to tj for tacos now or somewhere else.I got tired of the service here everytime I come with my self they always force me to eat at the bar like no sit me anywhere else but there.I have came here with myself and even with my siblings on grand opening and we get almost a 50/50 of good and bad service like be consistent .Honestly today kinda just threw it for me if I even want come back ever.So the guy who took my order seem like he got no training for nothing seem very n... read more
I've visited a couple times already, my first vosit I was a little disappointed on the service from the hostesses. We stood in the line for the bar seating after asking if we could sit since there were a couple seats open. We were instructed to stand in the bar line. We waited for 20 minutes, while they chatted. Then we see the hostess walk to the back of the long line for regular seating, asking if there where people who wanted to sit ay the bar. Umm like how was that even possible if she saw us standing in line, and bypas... read more
