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

Hi, Jocy. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
There are two things that will bring me back to a certain restaurant. The food and the customer service. Tacos El Franc has both of these 100 percent. I have dine in three times already and the food and people continue to be great. Of course, there is somethings I don't like. On this last visit I was charged almost 5 dollars for chiles and Cebollas which I didn't mind paying, until I received them. I got two chiles that appeared to have been sitting since the day before. It's fair to mention that at other places they are ... read more

Hi, Jerry. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
We've eaten at the one in Mexico. So decided to try it. It was good. Just didn't meet expectations. The service was friendly. The meats were good. Salsas as well. Just needed a little more flavor. But over all it was a nice and clean space. Friendly staff. And very festive.

Hi, Katia. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Food was okay. Prices are very high for what you get. Nothing was over the top delicious. The establishment is very clean and there's a lot of parking. I doesn't taste anything like their TJ location.
Business response:
We don’t have parking. Your review is factually incorrect.
Tacos El Franc is located inside a mall. There's already a line in the morning before they even open. They bring you in and seat you and then come by to take your order. When ordering in a big group, it gets a little confusing because they're so many tacos coming out when available, so not all of your food will come out at once. The meats are good and the tacos come pretty loaded. The meats are fresh and flavorful. The drinks offered were refreshing as well. Their asada fries were so good.

Hi, Nina. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
My kids and I tried this place yesterday. Such a cute spot and the customer service was on point. It was so nice to actually sit down and be served after being on our feet all day. We had adobada tacos and carne asada. We also ordered a quesadilla on the side. I regret not ordering more quesadillas. They were so delicious. My boys are all about the cheese pull. Anyway, we all loved the delicious tacos. They are my new favorite spot, and even my two picky boy's said they're the best in town. We will be back!

Hi, Christy. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Finally made it out to Tacos El Franc, overall the experience was not bad. We were sat down promptly, the music and ambiance was pretty good. The waitress and food service was faster than I was expecting. I tried three different tacos and an agua fresca everything was delicious. The waitress brought us a plate with limes, radishes, and cucumbers while we waited for our tacos. I tried a carne asada, taco de cabeza, and an adobada taco, all came with different salsas and all delicious. The salsas are spicey but not too hot but... read more

Hi, Miguel. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
People kept saying it's better than tacos el Gordo so I had to try. Got just tacos and this is my verdict: Asada: better here Adobada/pastor: better at el g Lengua: better here (my fav of the meats I got) That be loading up the tacos here too
