We came to Tijuana to experience the Tequila Expo and afterwards, we wanted to have some tacos and…read moremy friend brought us here. There was a long line to be seated but it moves quickly. We all got a bunch of tacos asado and wow they were fantastic! Im not much a taco fan but maybe all my life, I have been served mediocre tacos because this place was sooo good! Taco asado was 47 pesos which is about $2.50. After we ate our tacos, we pay with the cashier and I noticed that this place has been a Michelin awarded restaurant for the past 3 years. And well deserved! Loved it! All the staff here helpful, kind and happy. Next time I am back in Tijuana, definitely coming back here!

This was our very first stop after crossing the border into Mexico, and it absolutely lived up to…read morethe hype. It came highly recommended by both locals and fellow food lovers, and after seeing the incredible reviews, we knew we had to experience it for ourselves. We ordered a little bit of everything: tacos de tripa, tacos al pastor, tacos de asada, and an asada quesadilla. Every single item was packed with flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. The tripas were perfectly crispy without being greasy, the al pastor was juicy, well-seasoned, and had that classic balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors, and the asada was tender with a delicious char-grilled flavor. The asada quesadilla was generously filled with meat and gooey melted cheese, making it the perfect complement to the tacos. One thing I really appreciated was how convenient the ordering process is. They have a drive-through style setup where you simply pull up and park in front of the restaurant. An employee comes directly to your car to take your order, and once your food is ready, they bring it right out to you. It's such an easy and efficient experience, especially if you're eager to grab amazing food and get back on the road. It's easy to see why this place has earned such a stellar reputation. Between the authentic flavors, generous portions, friendly service, and convenient setup, this was the perfect way to kick off our trip into Mexico. I'll definitely be making this a tradition every time I cross the border.

Great chill late night spot where everyone was practically in pajamas. The ordering process was…read morepretty different since you order directly at the cooking counters and then pay at a separate register, which kind of expedited everything rather than having everyone order in one spot. It also makes it much easier to order multiple rounds of food. You can even look through the counter while ordering to see the meat and the cooking process. Needless to say, my group went wild and ordered two or three rounds of tacos and left feeling uncomfortably full but also satisfied. We all ended up having our favorites and a few we didn't like, but surprisingly enough, the ones some of us didn't like turned out to be the first choice of others, which is kind of a testament to how this place has something for everyone. My favorite was the tripe taco since they fry some of the bits of organs until they're crispy, and I love that variety of textures. This was also the first experience with cow tongue for a few of my friends, and needless to say, they'll probably be ordering cow tongue at all their taco spots from now on. Service was fast, and the cooking area was also visible from the side through a glass window. I could even see the staff and chefs eating their own tacos as they were prepping ours, which was pretty cool to see.

You know it, you love it. It's tacos el Gordo. Always gotta get a couple al pastor when I'm in…read moretown. I actually don't get any other tacos. Maybe I'm missing out but the Al pastor is too good I haven't made it to any others. Food: 4.4 Service: 4 Ambiance: 2.5 Value: 4.8 Marcels foodie score: 3.9
