Really delicious tacos in Zona Rio/Tijuana area. Parking can be located on the back designated lot, or in the surrounding streets. This joint is located right across from Costco. I ordered their regular tacos with asada, adobada, lengua, cabeza, and suadero. I also tried their tamarindo and horchata which came as bottled drinks. My favorite tacos were definitely the adobada and asada. Their salsa had a nice kick. There are also radish and lime available at the table. Service was friendly. Tacos were about 44 pesos and up. They also had quesa tacos, burritos, and quesadillas.
I'm from Los Angeles, and I've always been on "the search" in finding the best taco spot in Tijuana. I feel like I might've just found it. El Taconazo as it appears on Apple Maps is my new To Go spot whenever I'm across the border. The tacos were soooo damn good, I got 2 chorizo, 2 asada, and 2 buche with a Mexican coke ... man o' mannn it hit the spot. F the diet I was in here in Los Angeles, when you're in Mexico it should be a crime not to pig out. I guess the only downside was no beer lol, I definitely felt like having one with these bomb tacos were a must but the coke was a good replacement :) The service was good! As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated. Waiters had good energy, and were friendly overall. Nevertheless I'll for sure be back! Gained a customer out of me .
The service was fast and easy and we were able to grab our mainly to-go order without a hitch. We had some lengua mulitas while we waited and they were delicious. I brought lengua, asada and al pastor tacos home for the family and it was a hit. Definitely a great place for a quick bite as it's a very casual joint with quick service.
The best lengua tacos I've ever had. The other meats are pretty good also. Prices are cheaper than SD.
There are several Taco Nazos in Tijuana. I am unaware if they are all under the same ownership as a chain. What I do know is that this location was on a main thoroughfare in the Zona Centro with plenty of taco shops to choose from. The suite was being refurbished, but business continued as usual. We came here after eating at a competitor less than a mile away on the same side of the street. The entrance was on the back side adjacent to an outdoor patio. A hostess assigned us to a long table near the front where we could see the sidewalk. Two large stations each had menu boards above them with meats being cooked on a spit and grills. Most of the tacos were priced at 37 pesos apiece. Tortas, quesadillas, and mulitas were more expensive at 100 pesos each. I recommended to each member of our party to order one or two tacos at most to pace ourselves throughout the walking foodie tour. I picked a Suadero which was a cut of beef between the belly and the leg (i.e. shank). The taco was served on two corn tortillas filled with meat, cilantro, onions, and salsa verde. Compared to the previous place where we ate, the price was the same, however my taco wasn't quite as juicy. The service from the waiter was fine although his English skills weren't as proficient. Part of my downgraded rating was because the ongoing construction left the exterior of the dining area as an open-air and incomplete setting. I rated our stop at Taco Nazo with 3.5 stars.
Tacos in Tijuana, Mexico... This was stop #4 of five places on our unofficial Foodie Tour. Emmett had plotted out our journey and selected Taco Nazo for our last savory meal of the day. I was really full from the tostada, horchata, and tacos at other places. I.just.could.not.eat.anything.else I did observe efficient service in the open-air environment. My friends' food did appear and smell delicious! Next time we're there, I surely will get an adobada taco... we watched the worker shave the meat off of the rotisserie... wow... it looked so delectable!
We came here for some tacos. They greeted us right away and offered us to dine outside or a table inside. The weather was great that day so we decided to stay outside. The menu is posted outside on the wall and their service was prompt. We didn't have to wait to get a table but buy the time we were done eating, there was already a lot of people waiting to sit down. I ordered two Adobada tacos, and two Asada tacos. My wife also ordered a Tripa taco and it was good. Tacos were 36 pesos each. Both meats were delicious l, but I would say the Adobada tacos were better. The Asada tacos came with your carne Asada, cebolla y cilantro, and a very creamy guacamole. The meat was perfectly cooked and the guacamole went perfect with the tacos. The Adobada taco came with your pork meat cebolla y cilantro and a delicious green salsa. The pork was so tender and the salsa paired perfectly with the Adobada meat. No wonder this place gets packed. The tacos are amazing here. Will definitely be returning.
The food is amazing. I love the high protein veggies option. The service is quick to order. The kitchen took a little longer. The ambiance was loud; but manageable
Anytime we are in Tijuana, Taco Nazo is a must. Even order it to our Airbnb. It is worth it. It is always jam packed and lively... so be prepared to wait. They have a variety of meats. I've tired the carne asada(grilled steak), lengua (tongue), adobado(marinated pork) , buche, suadero, and tripa (tripe). I will say my favorite are the adobado, suadero and lengua. Soo good. Cooked perfectly. I usually go for the vampiros. Basically a corn tortilla (not fried) but grilled until perfectly crunchy with layers of cheese and meats. I like to ask for a side of grilled onions, nopales (cactus), and radish. Their sauces and salsas are really good. Just be careful of the spice level of some. The tacos are great and filling, the vampiros are my favorite but the torta is nothing special. Definitely recommend!
Taconazo has been my choice the past 2 years when I head down to Tijuana since they are right there after crossing into Mexico. These are really good tacos. They may not be the best in Tijuana but they are a strong choice for tacos before you head back over the border. My taco review *Adobada: these are my favorite. Plenty of meat and lots of flavor. Kind of what the old Tacos El Gordo used to taste before it went downhill. *Carne Asada: they are solid. They have everything you need in a Tijuana taco, although I prefer other spots if I am just going for carne asada. *Cabeza: another solid choice. They have lots of flavor without being overly greasy, which can be an issue at some taquerias. They also have lots of variations (burritos, vampiros, mulitas and quesadillas) that you can make with the various meat choices if you want to go down that route. Family typically goes down the quesadillas route since they love the flour tortillas. The red salsa is good and can be a bit spicy for those that are sensitive to that. You can order grilled green onions/chiles (surtidos), but you do get charged for that. Overall a solid choice to satisfy the itch for tacos near downtown Tijuana.

IM SAD...... This place was the greatest taco spot in TJ , I used to Brag about this place and feel so bold and confident that I had the one place that could get any body hooked on TJ style tacos.!!! NAZO!!! They have this lemonade with Chia that's better than Mexican (which sounds insane) My Goto is one Chirizo Vampido and one Birra Queso Taco Harina tortillas Por Favor... oh... Una Adobada Vampido Mas Firto Carne...(I always act like I forget I want adobada haha) Any way!! Good times that will last forever here at NAZO!!! WE LOVE TACO NAZO! read more
I'm so happy I happened upon this place! I originally chose this restaurant because in Los Angeles there'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. read more

So I came back and tried the Birria but honestly the adobada is so good I should have stayed with that. That's not to say the Birria is not good but that the Adobada with that green sauce. Wait now I want to try the chorizo... :( read more

Looking for tacos before you hit the border getting back into the US? This place is conveniently located across the street from Costco in TJ and the tacos here are bomb. The prices are similar to U.S. prices, but given the fact that you're almost in the U.S. and you're probably looking for something quick to eat, this place will do it. They have all the meats you'll need: adobada, pastor, carne asada, lengua, etc. I am a huge fan of al pastor tacos, so I made sure to get this in my order. Definitely was not disappointed. This place looks like it was also recently renovated (catered to Americans), and it's got a nice outdoor space! read more
Tacos practically melt in your mouth here. Meat is super tender and the Quesa tacos are a little pricy in comparison to some other places in Tijuana but they were delicious. They give you a choice of corn or flour tortillas and the carne asado tacos come in traditional way with onions and guacamole. Adobada tacos come with a crema cilantro and onions. Service was quick and there are three parking spots if you're lucky enough to get one. We will be back. read more

Lucked out and found this place because the original place we planned on going to was not open yet. This place did not disappoint. We sat down right away and the waitress was helpful and kind. My wife and I ordered a few tacos and tried a few different meats. The food was delicious but our favorite meats were asada, adobada and buche. The place is clean and has a good atmosphere. read more
