This place has been really hyped up and I'm not sure why, but giving 3 stars because our server was attentive and food came out fast. I ordered the suadero (which was the most flavorful), the adobada, carne asada, and pollo. All of the tacos were tiny and aside from the suadero, they all really lacked in flavor - at almost $5 per taco you would hope for so much more. I also wish they had more of a salsa selection - i'm not sure if we were just given the most basic salsa they had as a side, but it was just like a regular toma... read more

Same owner as the one in TJ and tacos are just as delicious. But be prepared, these aren't TJ prices. We paid $4.75 per taco which is expensive! The service was good, nothing stood out as far as service is concerned. However, their micheladas were a hit for me. If not for nothing, I'd be back for their michelada.... Delicious! They have indoor seating and an outdoor patio, which is we sat and it was nice.

My Husband wanted to check this place out, as we have been seeing it when we go to The Broken Yolk across the walkway. We arrived and were greeted to be seated right away. The customer service here is great. Our server was a nice lady and she took our drink order right away. We ordered: 1 horchata and 1 water. We perused the menu and found which tacos that we wanted to try. Our server came back with our drinks and we placed our food order: 1 Carne Asada Taco + Queso ($1.25 extra) no onions, 1 Suadero (Brisket) Tostada no... read more

I really enjoyed the Mulita I had here! Better then Tacos el Gordo. We stopped by after a movie and decided to get a quick bite before shopping. Daisy helped us and explained the whole menu and what was most popular, we had been wanting to try this place so it was nice to hear what everyone else orders. My fiancee got a adobada mulita and I got a mixta (adobada and carne) mulita. They were delicious. Cheese melted perfect and tasty meats. I also really enjoyed their salsaa, spicy but also really flavorful. Could have used ... read more

The service was good, I enjoyed the michelda but the tacos lacked flavor. Over priced tacos.

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!
