    This is the spot !!! Tacos are amazing and so tasty. When I'm Tijuana ... this is the spot to go

    The food here was excellent. The service was great, and they had very clean bathrooms. my Spanish isn't too good, but they had one woman there who spoke some English. You order and then eat then pay which was cool. Overall very satisfied. The only con was there's a lot of flies. But this isn't a fine dining restaurant, it's more of a taco stand with good seating and clean bathrooms.

    I love tacos! However I don't eat just about any taco. That been said I will share my thoughts on this establishment tacos! I usually go to tacos El Gallo down the street and since they were in the process of moving across the street I came to their other location which is called El Gallito. I ordered two al pastor tacos and after I finished them I ordered one tripa taco and one suadero. The al pastor was good but I thought that the marinade was a little strong to my taste, the tripa and suadero were very good on my opinion. They have radishes, napkins, lemons and all the fixings on separate bags to your convenience. The taqueros are very friendly and courteous. Good tacos at affordable prices accompanied by great service. I fully recommend this establishment!

    Tacos Al Pastor!

    This place was amazing! Never have I tasted Al Pastor Tacos just BURSTING with FLAVOR! Definitely will be a regular spot everytime I come down to visit with my family. Tortillas are made Fresh too! Don't overlook this place. It's DEFINITELY worth a try. I am GLAD I got the chance to eat here before leaving back home!

    Chile relleno taco with adobada
    Mina N.

    Amazing tacos, particularly their adobada. We typically get their chile relleno with adobada taco... But even their chicken tacos were amazing, as it has nopales, boiled beans, and cheese on it! Definitely now one of our fav taco joints. We found this joint because it was recommended on Mark Wein's YouTube video on the best TJ tacos. And he was right... It was delish!

    I love their Tacos but what I like the most is their Chile Relleno tacos and burritos (rice, beans, chile relleno) and their Hot Flaming Hot Cheeto! they are sooo good! BOMB! I'm always finding myself ordering from their by Ubereats lol cause I want to sit at home and enjoy those tacos and burritos of Chiles rellenos lol also their so close to home so why not right?

    After trying the place up the street, I almost didn't come here. (The other place was great!). Glad I did. Tacos El Gallito is every bit as good. Tried a few tacos, and of course a Fanta. The salsa they make is excellent, and not so spicy that you'd regret it. Everything is prepared fresh. No trouble with language, and folks are very friendly. There were maybe 25 people eating there, and I'm not surprised a bit, even on a Sunday. The photo attached is of the Adobada. Delish.

    Food was ok , but charging for 2 corn tortillas just like if you had bought a pack too jintzzy.

    Tacos are so good. This taco shop is right by the otay border crossing. If you are going through Otay you have to stop & get some taquitos. They have adobada, asada, tripas, pollo, mulas everything you need/want & more.

    Order anything on this menu at this cart only.

    I think this is one of the best taco spots in Tijuana. Incredible sauces and hand made tortillas

    I've been to the spot off H street which pretty much has no parking and spots for four cars…read more Ample parking here plus the same awesome food from the other location makes this one of the best spots I've been to since I've moved here. I'm not a big fan and of Tacos El Gordo and am partial to the myriad of Mexican spots in Los Angeles, but this place holds its own. There was so much guacamole and meat on the two tacos that they fell out of the sides, and I had to use a fork to pick up the rest. This is a top option for me now. It's nice and clean here. Minus one star since service here is meh. The folks at H street seem to care at least little bit, but that may be because I ordered in Spanish. All in all, dope spot.

    Came here on a Friday night, and it was surprisingly quiet since I heard good things about this…read moreplace. I got 4 tacos and a carne asada quesadilla. The tacos were alright, but the quesadilla was pretty disappointing. The tortilla was soggy, and they put pico de gallo inside it instead of on the side with sour cream. There was also no cheese at all, which made it taste really off. Definitely not what I expected from a quesadilla. It was only 6pm and their sauce bar was dirty. Tables weren't clean and lastly the service wasn't very friendly. Just a tip -- a larger, updated menu screen would make it easier for everyone to read, especially older customers.
