Honest Review S.

We came here literally right after eating at a spot down the street after seeing how long the line was. Had to see what the hype was all about. And WOW so glad we checked it out!! The tacos were awesome, line moved quickly, and lots of sides/salsas to add to the tacos. They have a great system working. They do close early so make sure to check their working hours. Try this place!!

Great place for a quick stop before closing the border. Service is friendly and efficient. Right now, due to COVID, there's only take out available. The place sells-out early, so don't arrive late.

I've been coming to this place for SOOO LONG! I think it's been open since 2007 or 2008 and those are my go to Tacos al Vapor! my favorites are the Chicharron and the Potato ones, love them I always get 4 or 5 tacos lol their so soft and I like them greasy, it's perfection. If you ever around this area you should visit, if your from out of town put it in your bucket list cause you need to try them out. Only thing is because Tacos al Vapor are usually like a breakfast/brunch type a thing they run out of tacos very early, so I suggest for you to be there around 10 am to 12 pm because they run out of them quickly during the weekday. On the weekends they only open on Saturdays but you have to be early there because they run out of tacos around 10 or 11 am! Their so damn good y'all! Go ahead and get your life! lol Provecho!!!!

Whenever I'm in Tijuana on the Otay side, I will stop by this taco location to get a quick bite…read more It has a very small seating area and has decent parking. The tacos are simple and come a few varieties (asada, al pastor, etc) along with a selection of soft drinks and waters. For those looking for quick taco fix while waiting in the line back to the USA, this is the place (on the Otay Mesa side)

I guess everything is relative. There are a couple of great taco places in Tijuana that I love to…read morego to whenever I am here for work [about every 3 weeks]. Today I was in the Otay side and didn't want to drive to Tijuana crossing so I looked up a taco place and "El Poblano". First, traffic outside was crazy and if you pull into the parking lot, you will have to back into that crazy traffic. Not great. I wanted one "tripas" taco and one "adobada" taco and had to get into two lines and pay twice. That was odd. Thank goodness there was no line when I got there but after I sat down, there was a decently long line. The meat wasn't bad but the guacamole sauce was not seasoned. Also, they had some radishes but they were not sliced. No carrots and jalapenos in vinegar but they did have some grilled jalapenos. I like the cucumbers and sliced radishes that so many of the good places will offer YET these were expensive. At 45 pesos [$2.65] for the adobada and 70 pesos [$4.38] for the tripas. I was a little surprised because I can get shrimp tacos for that price at another taco place not far from here.

They had a beautiful display of their shrimp tacos with wonderful toppings. I was sold. I thought I had chosen a caterer that would elevate the taco experience. Everything they promised wasn't delivered from sending the wrong appetizers, flimsy plates to serve the food, NO toppings for the shrimp tacos, no signage saying the 3 types of tacos to choose from, etc. The gentleman and girls serving the food were friendly and professional, however they had no idea of what they were supposed to be serving. When I asked them, he just replied that's what they sent us with. I think Ricardo feels terrible, but after talking with him, he had no idea of what happened, like he did the sales, but whoever executes the food wasn't him. He did refund part of my fee, however, I have to warn others, because they really let me down, it's not something that can be fixed. Be careful if you use them.

Fantastic tacos and a great experience! I was in the Chula…read moreVista area for work and had to stop by Tacos El Gordo--and I'm so glad I did! The tripe was crispy and juicy at the same time, with incredible flavor in every bite. I had three tacos and honestly wished I could have eaten more. The horchata tasted fresh and was absolutely delicious--the perfect pairing with the tacos. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere was pleasant, with both indoor and outdoor seating. A great experience all around. I'll definitely stop by again whenever I'm in the area!

We ordered a lot of tacos and campechana through the drive‑thru and politely asked for three avocado sauces and the red sauce. When they brought our food to the parking lot, we noticed they only gave us one of each. I went inside to ask for more, but the ladies working there were extremely rude. They gave me attitude right away and asked, "Where's your order?" I explained that we ordered through the drive‑thru and I just stepped inside to ask for extra sauce. They kept saying "No puede, no puede," and talking in Spanish with attitude. Someone tried to translate, but they still didn't give me any real explanation -- just "no puede." We bought a lot of food, and getting only one sauce each is unreasonable. Their food is good, and customers love the sauces too. I hope they fix their staff's attitude because this location is very stingy compared to the one on Broadway, where they always give plenty. I usually let things like this slide, but this time I'm writing a review because the rudeness and lack of consideration were unacceptable. People would enjoy this place even more if the staff were kinder and more generous with the sauces. It's just sauce there's no need to be rude. I hope management reads this and addresses the issue. Thank you.
