If you are looking for the absolute best tacos in Tijuana, Tacos El Franc is the real deal! We came…read morehere with a group of 5 and absolutely indulged ourselves on a feast. . Between all of us, we tried the asada, adobada, lengua, and tripa and other meat options. Honestly, every single taco was hit out of the park. They do not skimp on the meat at all--everything is incredibly well-served. While all the meats were fantastic, the adobada and the asada were the absolute stars of the show. Flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and juicy. Even with a group of 5, the service was lightning-fast. We loved the open-air seating area which gives you that classic, high-energy TJ taco spot vibe. It's a must-visit. We will definitely be back for round two!

I'm so happy I happened upon this place! I originally chose this restaurant because in Los Angeles…read morethere's a popular spot with the same name so I was hoping there would be a correlation here. And so there was! Haha, all the tacos I ordered were so delicious! I especially enjoyed the adobada taco. When we ordered we told the kind server we wanted our tacos with everything (con todo). The adobada taco was super flavorful, juicy and addicting. It came with a complementary cilantro-looking sauce that made the taco even better. The Suadero was soft and flavorful as well with a spicy kick. The Asada was flavorful and came with lots of guacamole/avocado. They also give you a small plate full of limes and slices of radishes to enjoy with your food/tacos. It is a very spacious restaurant with a VIP side (maybe for locals or etc) and a regular side. Although they don't have beer they had a fridge filled with refreshing soft drinks. I highly recommend you try this place just a hop across the border, it is only a short uber ride away.

Vintage Tijuana spot here! Las Ahumaderas has for decades been one of the better (top 3-5, arguably…read more#1) spots in TJ for tacos - highly recommended by tourists and locals alike. Las Ahumaderas is a collection of 5-6 taquerias on one side street off Blvd. Agua Caliente, one of the main thoroughfares in TJ. The taquerias offer very solid, relatively cheap tacos and tend to stay open until super late at night (often until 4 am). Las Ahumaderas is famously nicknamed "Taco Alley" and gained some international recognition after being featured one of Anthony Bourdain's travel and food shows. I've been several times but last stopped by Las Ahumaderas in September. The most popular spot there (and my personal favorite) is Las Tres Salsas - would highly recommend checking out that taqueria first if you've never been. The most highly regarded tacos here are the adobada (pork) tacos (my personal favorite as well). Ordered two adobada tacos, one suadero (cow belly) taco, and a Sprite. The nice thing about the food and drink at Ahumaderas is that a lot of the basic items are priced the same - each taco and the sprite were 45 pesos (around $2.50 USD) each. The tacos were all well-portioned, tasty, and filling (as usual). One thing a lot of tourists don't know is Las Tres Salsas has two levels, with the second level sometimes having a decent, relaxing view and atmosphere depending on the time of day. So I ordered and ate on the second floor (ordered from the server for that floor). Cash (dollars or pesos) are by far the most common method of payment but credit cards are also accepted at Las Tres Salsas and I think the other taquerias at Ahumaderas as well. If you don't speak Spanish there's usually someone at the register who speaks enough English to get by though the server I had that afternoon happened to speak very good English. Right after Las Tres Salsas I went to Tacos El Paisano, one of the other taquerias in the establishment. Ordered 1 asada (steak) taco, 1 cabeza (cow's head) taco, and a Fresca soda. Like Las Tres Salsas, all of the items were 45 pesos each. The tacos here were also good, though not as good as Las Tres Salsas; both of the tacos fell apart a bit due to being slightly soggy (though again they were good). I'm a picky eater but there are a wide variety of tacos, quesadillas, and other items to try between the handful of taquerias at Ahumaderas. Las Ahumaderas is about a 13-15 minute walk down Agua Caliente from Telefonica Gastro Park, another excellent foodie location in TJ. Must visit if you've never been before!

I had been here before and thought the fried shrimp tacos were okay, so I decided to give the…read morerestaurant another try. Unfortunately, this second visit was disappointing. We ordered the fried fish, and it arrived with a fried fly stuck in it. Obviously, finding an insect in your food is unpleasant. I understand that flies can sometimes get into restaurants and mistakes can happen. What bothered me most was not the fly itself, but how the situation was handled. When we brought it to the attention of the person in charge, instead of simply apologizing and offering a refund, he tried to justify what happened. A sincere apology and immediate resolution would have gone a long way. Accidents happen, but customer service and accountability matter. Sadly, the response left a worse impression than the mistake itself. And our waitress had the worse service. . I called her to ask for more lemon and she rolled her eyes at us.

I'm so glad we did because it's now one of our favorite taco spots! We ordered a variety of tacos to share, along with a generous order of carne asada fries and a mixed adobada/carne asada fries. Everything was delicious! The meat had that perfect char-grilled flavor, the fries were fresh and crispy, and we loved that they cook with beef tallow--it really adds to the flavor. The fresh aguas frescas were the perfect complement to the meal. The restaurant was clean, there was plenty of seating for a Sunday afternoon, and parking was easy since it's at the mall. The only downside during our visit was that service was a little slow, especially when it came time to check out. It wasn't a dealbreaker, though. We've also ordered through DoorDash recently, and that experience was 10/10. Overall, we'll definitely be back. Great food, generous portions, and a spot that's absolutely worth trying if you're craving authentic tacos. We didn't have pictures because we were definitely hungry! Will post next time we think about taking photos!
