My #1 absolute fave flour tortilla carne asada taco. These tacos are grilled over oak wood logs for added flavor. They are HUGE once will do it for most but I order two. They call or it a perrone which is a flour tortillas with melted cheese, asada, pinto beans, cilantro, onions, and guacamole taco. Their roasted jalapeños are such a great add. The salsa is on the spicer side but oh so tasty. read more

Yes - the line is long. Yes - you should wait. Yes - it is worth every bite! I was brought here by a friend. We came on Thursday at around 3:00. The line was ok not too intimidating. However, everyone in line said, the line is usually very, very long. We chatted about what we would eat and I was told to try the original Perron - which I did. Oh my gosh! It was excellent. I also ordered a Mexican coke which I don't normally do and it went great with the taco. They are on the larger side but I happily ate two. This is a cash only place. Its kind of on the honor system. You place your order on one side for tacos and on the other side for drinks. You then go to the middle to tell the cashier what you ordered. There are plenty of tables and also standing bar tables. The bathrooms are also clean and kept up. So, yes - wait in the line. read more

I've been going to Rosarito for four decades. How in the world I didn't know about Tacos El Yaqui is beyond me.... I guess that is what happens when you started out as a teenager who hung out at the beach bars and never ventured east of Benito Juarez (the main drag) before. My go to taco place in both Tijuana and Rosarito for 40 years had always been El Paisano (they have locations in both). And, although El Paisano still has fantastic street tacos, I have to say that at my one visit to Tacos El Yaqui a couple of weeks ago that I said "These are the best tacos I've ever had in Rosarito". The quality of meat (flank steak) at El Yaqui was simply outstanding, and definitely noticeable over every other taco place that I've ever been to in Baja. Although they have no salsa bar the roasted jalapenos (located to the left of the cashier) provided a perfect pop to the tacos, providing me a meal with flavors and textures that were delectable. Thank you Yelpers for directing me to this most excellent place. I will be certain to come back here on my next trip to Rosarito for some more of Yaqui's deliciousness. Side note: they close at 5pm each day.... so this is a lunch destination. Side note 2: like most taco stands, they do not sell beer. read more

We make sure to stop by every time we visit Rosarito. The tacos are flavorful, open-fire grilled meat packed into tortillas that don't fall apart, even with the generous portions. The outdoor setup is clean, casual, and well-managed. There's a mix of shaded and sunny spots, with both standing and sitting tables. It's located on a corner with good foot and car traffic, and even though parking is limited, we always manage to find street parking nearby. The staff is professional, bilingual, and super attentive to keeping things organized and clean. Ordering is easy: tell the chef what you want, then pay in a second line. Signs are posted all over in both English and Spanish, which makes it very visitor friendly. They accept cash only (USD or pesos), and drinks are simple canned sodas and bottled juices. They only have carne asada tacos, which are the best. This place has us braving the border wait ... TLDR: If you're in Rosarito, this is the taco spot you don't want to miss. It's always worth the stop! read more

Absolutely delicious. The height and excitement for this place is well-deserved. I will definitely return when I am in town.

We drove straight here after landing a the Tijuana airport. The line was very long and moved very slowly. The only good thing is that you get your food when you order. It takes long when you have a couple that takes 20 tacos to-go for others. We all ordered their "Perron." It came with skirt steak, beans, cheese, onions, cilantro, salsa and guacamole all inside a big flour tortilla. These tacos are massive. Even if you have a big appetite, two is more than enough. I had planned on eating a bigger meal after this little "snack" so we all ordered one taco each. The arrachera was very good. Very tender and went perfectly with the beans and the guac. Although I'm hesitant in actually calling this a taco. I guess we can get into the whole is a hot dog a sandwich debate, but this Perron has melted cheese, so is it a quesadilla? It honestly taste more like a burrito, but just open. Regardless of what it actually, it's bomb and definitely worth the wait. Next time I'll get two for sure. read more

Stoped by around 3 PM to check out the place. We had a Sunday brunch at the hotel until 1 PM. As a tester, ordered 1 Taco to share w. my wife. After a bite, we both were so happy that we stopped by this joint. Ended 2 more TACOS. It is big and plenty of meat inside but we enjoyed very much. 80 peso . read more

Not as great as people make it out to be. The meat lacked flavor and texture, kinda tough. Tijuana does it better. with cheese is better though. read more

Hard to find parking, but totally worth it. There was a little line when we got here but it went quick. The smell of the wood fire is amazing. This is like the In n Out of tacos. They have three options: meat n cheese, meat only or cheese only. Tacos are served on flour tortillas with onion, cilantro and guacamole. This was a great find and we will be back for sure. read more

There may be a line when you arrive but it's worth the wait. "Tacos" filled with meat, cheese, beans, salsa & cilantro on a flour tortilla - that's what my grandma use to call a taco! They will make it the way you want it - on the spot. They have a few other items on their menu, but I have yet to taste any other menu items. I go for the tacos. ‍ It's the best outdoor taco place in Rosarito, Baja Mx . It was my friends first time there and they loved it! read more

I was sadly underwhelmed by these tacos after waiting in line for an hour. The fillings are decent, but there is nothing special about these tacos, especially in comparison to the street tacos in LA. The beef and grilled jalapenos are cooked well and the salsa is good. The space is outdoors with plenty of sit down and stand up tables. A singer/guitarist played in the middle of the restaurant while other food and souvenir vendors circled the line. Be prepared to wait for at least an hour if not longer and stand in the sun until you're towards the front. read more

Was in Rosarito for the weekend stopped by El Yaqui 7/28. Line was 20 minutes, seems like the place has gotten more popular over the years. Tacos are still delicious, all my friends loved them. Even though it was busy they still had some standing only tables available. Cash only establishment and they don't sell beers. Only sodas and locally made refreshments. read more

El estilo Sonorense (aunque no son) los tacos del res y las quesadillas son muy ricos If you want variety this is not your spot. You come for carne asada tacos and that's it (quesadilla for the kids or vegetarians) it is simple, old school and reminds me of Sonora (but it's Baja). The line can be long, just get there before the carne runs out. read more

A colleague highly recommended this spot in Rosarito for tacos and it was so delicious! Very solid spot for tacos. We came during lunch and luckily only 10-15 minute wait but the line wasn't too bad as long as you knew what you wanted to order right when you got to the front. We probably waited another 15 min for the food to come out after. We loved the perronnes which comes with all the fixings, asada, beans, cheese, and guacamole. These are rather large too! The meat was tender, onions and cilantro were bright and springy and the flour tortillas and guac were fresh, and the cheese/beans sealed it all together. You can ask for jalapenos on the side too. We also got the horchata which was good as well - not too season-y if you get what I mean. Looking forward to coming back on my next trip to Baja California. read more

Still the bombest tacos in Rosarito. I admit I have waited in line here for 45 minutes just to satisfy my craving. I feel like maybe the tacos don't have as much meat as they used to? But with food costs rising everywhere, I guess it's not a surprise. I don't care, I will never not stop here when I'm in town! read more

Stayed in Rosarito for the weekend and of course I had to bring the boyfriend, from Chicago here. Perrones were absolutely amazing, fresh, and super quick even with the long line. The employees are fun to talk to and joke around with the customers as they're serving. Everyone seems happy and it's amazing to see... We love our coke out of bottles and they did not have. Could do with a beer, but there is a liquor store across the street. I did see a customer tip with beers and the staff was grateful (we did not see them crack em open tho). I know parking can be a B right there, but we didn't have any issues. Also cool to see horses parking there as well- something you won't see in Chicago so the boyfriend was like a little kid seeing a rancher w his big ole cowboy hat ride in on his horse for lunch. Probably been coming for 10 years now- smells are wonderful, food is always on point, super clean tables, plenty of seating, and great bathrooms. Definitely a must stop on every Rosarito or Ensenada visit... send me a message if you think you know a place that competes! read more

After reading the reviews we knew we just had to check out this spot during our weekend trip to Rosarito. While we were prepared for the line, we were surprised at how long it was and, apparently, for very little reason. There are a lot of staff, which we watched for 2 hours, and we just could not figure out why things were not moving more quickly. It is still a mystery. Now, onto the food, it was good--but just good. Not great. Not fantastic. NOT worth the wait. There is so much amazing food in town, and I just do not see any reason to go here rather than another place that we can get our food faster and get back to our vacation (instead of standing in line). read more

So after arriving to Rosarito and checking the hotels this taco place was so close I thought I'd try it. The options are minimal but the fresh asada grilling right beside you as they prepare the tacos In front of you was delightful. Then once payed for you can add limes and radishes to your tacos and the taste is amazing. The service was great and the place was nice. read more

The best tacos in the world. Love this place they have a unique marinade that is amazing

This is a must stop place in Rosarito! The tacos are delicious though are more than a regular taco. It's like a taco and a quesadilla had a baby. They only serve one kind (carne asada) but they do have the vegetarian option (no meat) but you'd be missing out for sure since the meat is delicious. Be prepared to wait in line and make sure to bring cash since it's cash only. read more

INCREDIBLE carne asada tacos, best I've ever had. The meat is grilled over wood so it takes up so much flavor, and the tacos are topped with guac and salsa, as well as cheese if desired. The ones with cheese are called Perron, just salsa and guac are Sencillo. They are both amazing and the tacos are HUGE. I was full after 2. Workers are all friendly. waited about 20 mins total but well worth the wait, absolute must visit read more

It's not a street taco. It's a perron and these are my favorite tacos (Perron) in the world. I lived in Rosarito for 8 months in 2014 and ate here probably weekly (also ate a ton of tacos elsewhere in Rosarito!) I still dream of these tacos and have been back several times. Are a few other restaurants in Rosarito I love and return to as well but Tacos El Yaqui is the only can't miss spot on a trip to Rosarito. Is it touristy? Yes. Is there going to be a line? Probably, especially on a weekend. I usually go when they open on a week day. But the simple fact is you cannot go to Rosarito and not eat at Yacquis. read more
