    Tacos al Pastor/ Adobada, taco de Birria
    Fernando R.

    Good stop to fuel before crossing the border. The meats are plentiful and the service is on point. The Adobada/ al Pastor is the best. Restrooms are clean and well stocked. Great value overall.

    One taco asada without guac and then tostadas with meat

    So we came to eat here because my s/o remembered when she was little that her dad would bring her here and they were the best things ever. So when we went and with him we decided to go down memory lane and I expected the tacos to be good but these tacos were made from heaven and delivered quickly to us. The meat was seasoned amazing and the meat wasn't tough or whatever. It was like just right. I had 3 tacos of asada with red salsa and they are all full like that. These tacos might rival one another place as my favorite tacos....ever. Like I could live on those tacos because they are so so so so amazing. It's been a couple weeks and I still think so fondly of them. Get with green salsa and that's good too. I had three almost four but they were so full of meat and goodness that I had to stop just so I wouldn't have to force myself to keep eating even thought i could have stayed there all day.

    4.2 out of 5 star. I'd recommend.

    Honestly I've had better tacos. I ordered al pastor/adobada and they didn't have much flavor.

    The asada is so tasty and the gucamole is just mashed avocado but its perfect on your tacos and tostadas.

    Lots of different taco shops on this same corner. We had Los paisas. Great friendly fast and…read morehelpful service! Delicious tacos. If you can't handle spice, ask for no salsa as it is very spicy. Very filling Adobada was delicious

    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!
