La comida en estos tacos está delicioso, desde que llegas hay una fila para poder pedir tus tacos yo en lo personal. Los comí en el lugar tienen un amplio lugar con sillas y mesas para que disfrutes de tus tacos sin la prisa de estar comiendo parado, tienen una gran variedad de menú y aguas frescas. Una variedad de salsas y claro no pueden faltar los típicos tacos de Tijuana con su respectivo aguacate. La verdad los súper recomiendo. ¿Cómo pueden ver en la fotografía? Los tacos están grandísimos con un solo taco. Te llenas

Tacos Al Pastor

Best tacos in Tijuana ! Hands down. A must try when visiting Tijuana. Uber there so that you don't have to look for parking. It's a busy street

Drove to this place based on the recommendation of Lalo Villar from La Ruta de la Garnacha and boy, it was well worth it. The place is huge and bustling with and army of staff moving on every direction - pipping-hot food traveling to tables all over the place. From the moment you arrive, the sheer view of the meat spits, the smell of fresh steaks on the grills and handmade tortillas is a sight to behold. Had a couple of Tacos al Pastor, along with a Steak Quesadilla - both were huge and delicious! Definitely will go back and recommend to anyone looking for an authentic taco experience.

Adobada Tacos

We went to Tacos el Nuevo Poblano this evening and it was fantastic. Both of us said to each other that they were the best tacos we've had in Tijuana (and we've had a lot of tacos). I had the carne asada tacos and they were filled with amazingly juicy asada, cilantro, onions and a big serving of tasty guacamole. My partner had the adobada tacos and they were amazing as well. It's a simple menu but they do a stellar job with the meats they specialize in. There was no line when we arrived but by the time we left there were a lot of people waiting to be seated. Tacos el Nuevo Poblano is a little further out from the typical tourist haunts since it's located in the Buena Vista area but it's well worth the slightly longer drive for the authentic food. We found the service to be friendly and prompt - all employees were busily working. From what we could tell there is only street parking in the neighborhood. All I can say is I can't wait to go back for more tacos soon!

Tacos are Always good! Service has improved. Restaurant is very clean and safe. I will definitely return many more times

Massive tacos. Freshest corn tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft and super thin. Basically just a vessel to hold everything in. Carne saada is a little fatty but you can barely tell. A mountain of fresh guacamole covers everything. You can't go wrong here.

All the fixings for the tacos

Food was great. Service was great too. They were busy but it didn't take long to get seated.

We ran into my hubby's coworker while in Tj, so he took us to what he thought is the best place for tacos! I was excited to try them out. Since it was past midnight, he said there weren't as many people as there normally would be- it was still pretty busy to me. There were two trompos of al pastor, and men grilling carne asada and a variety of other meats. I decided to order 2 tacos al pastor, a carne asada mulita, and a bottle of horchata. Everyone else ordered lots of tacos. There isn't much seating here, so everyone pretty much just stands around and eats. There are some condiments available, so I splashed some lime and added hot sauce to my tacos. The tacos were actually very tasty! I also enjoyed the mulita, but not as much as the tacos. Although the food was delicious, I'm still on the hunt for the best tacos in Tijuana.

Tried to find a spot to eat not too far from the Tijuana airport and this came up with great reviews. Definitely not in a touristy area so you won't find it just strolling around. It's a smaller place but tables are big so multiple groups can share. The staff was super attentive, got our orders super quick and checked in on us multiple times. I tried the tacos al pastor and the quesadilla de asada (Grande to share). Everything was delicious. The meats have great flavor but not extra flavored where you can't taste the meat. The avocado was so fresh and I loved all the garnishes. If I'm ever in the area I definitely want to come back and try other items on the menu!

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!

The food was actually good, wish I could say the same about the service. Ordered tacos and when it came to drinks they only had one kind. The problem was that even tho the restaurant was dead empty they were in a big rush to get us out of there. This was around 2pm today May 21st 2025. It's not like we made this up, my mom and I head the cook tell the waiter that we had finished eating but still had not left. I am never coming back here since TJ is crowded with taco stands that would love me as a customer. I advise you to save yourself the bad experience and rather get it to go or eat somewhere else. Fuimos a este local hoy 21 de Mayo. Los tacos estaban buenos pero el servicio no fue lo que esperaba. Primeramente solo tenían un tipo de refresco pero el problema fue que no entiendo porque si el local estaba solo, los empleados tenían tanta prisa por que nos retiráramos. Escuchamos a un cocinero chaparro que le dijo a la mesera que nomas nos paramos pero no nos íbamos. Este no es modo de tratar a sus clientes. Ay bastantes puestos de tacos en Tijuana. Si siguen haciendo esto van a crear mala fama. Les sugiero que busquen otro puesto de tacos y se eviten un mal rato.
