I'd hear great things about this place so popped in after a movie. It was around 330 on a Saturday afternoon and there was a 10-20 min wait for a table. I ordered tacos to go instead- getting a weird response when I asked the front desk staff if I could order to go, as if it was a huge inconvenience, but they had the system right there so I'm not sure what the issue was. I got a carne asada taco, adobada taco, and Jamaica agua fresca. The carne asada was good and Smokey but dry- I didn't realize until I was long gone that i... read more

Fast service and good prices for the area without having to pop into México. I enjoyed the texture and the good flavor on the cabeza. It is not over salted and the salsa enhanced the flavors. Also, you are served radishes and lime while you wait for your order.

Finding a good taco spot in SoCal isn't that hard! Prices on the other hand generally are. This place opened about 6 months ago and is located in the heart of nasty city (Plaza Bonita). I've been to the one in Tijuana, Mexico (I wasn't a big fan). However, this place did not disappoint! I had two adobada tacos and my beautiful wife had the mulita de adobada. Both were very good! And I didn't have to break the bank, when compared to what other places are charging per taco$$$. I also got a michelada (that was fire ) We will de... read more

Would give a five star but the quesadillas are not quesadillas , these are just oversized tacos. I'm from near the border of Texas (where REAL Mexican food is) and these things they serve here are far from quesadillas. Everything else I tried was good like the loaded fries and adobo and asada tacos but I just wanted to emphasize the quesadillas. It actually made me laugh yall here in cali call these quesadillas. next time I come (if i do) I'd just get these instead of the actual tacos it's only a few dollar difference , I'... read more

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
