Highly recommend a stop here if you're in the area. Deliciously filling tacos, you can't go wrong with any of the options. It can get busy but people come and go quick They got all the fixins and all the meats so get whatever you want There was parking up and down the street so it's not too bad. But I'm not sure if it gets busier than this during peak times
"Esta es el fin de la linea? No, alli?" Let me tell you, I brought my orderely Type A attitude to Las 3 Salsas and couldn't make heads of where I was meant to order my food and how I was meant to pay. This place definitely had me working on my spanish, which is always a good task, also refined my skills of being pushy, being in the front and being sure the staff sees you to get your order. After finally figuring out how to order I asked for the Adobado, chorizo and plato de ensalada (the radishes and scallions). The adobadao was so good, we went back for a second! A few minor miscommunications (all on my part) didn't have a negative impact on our adventure - We still very much enjoyed our food! I only wish the radishes were drenched in lime sauce like I remember from the last time I came to Las Alhumedras. Alas, I guess I'll have to come back again or try to recreate the radishes in that beautiful way we ate them back in 2019.
Tres Salsas is back and OPEN! They went through a renovation for some months. Now, there is a place to sit upstairs above the taqueria! Before, you'd have to cram your way in front of the taquero to find a seat. You still have to order from him though. I consider this taqueria a right of passage for experiencing delicious tacos in Tijuana and Baja. They make the tortillas from scratch and every taco, tostada, mulita, burrito is plentiful with delicious and meat. They don't skimp on the guacamole either. The taquero is quite confident but he settles down when he gets your order. For English speakers, ordering can be intimidating, but just be assertive by telling the taquero what you want. "Yo quiero tres carne asada tacos con todo, por favor." He'll ask if you want everything (onions, cilantro and guacamole) "todo" on your food. If you don't want "todo," then say "sin" (seen) cilantro or "sin" cebolla (onions) or "sin" guacamole. Try the platano (banana) aguafresca. It's creamy, tasty and refreshing with anything on the menu. You pay the staff working on the side after you're finished. Tell them what you ate. Make sure it is accurate. There is a menu posted on the back wall with all of the prices. Each taco is 35 pesos each, about $1.75 each. Make it easy on yourself and bring pesos. Leave a tip for the taquero on the plate in front of him. Be generous as the staff works hard to make good food, beverages. Don't get offended if the taquero calls you güero (or güera the feminine form). It is used to describe someone who is blond or has light skin. Mexicans use nicknames or terms of endearment for people with various skin tones (güero/a, chino/a, moreno/a, negra/o) and none of them are meant to be derogatory. They are similar to American nicknames like "red", "curly" or "stretch." A light skinned Mexican girl is called güera but she would not likely be called a "white girl." Gringos/gringas are frequently called güeros/as because this is considered a more polite and complimentary word than "gringa." Words like güera or morena are affecionate nicknames; there isn't an implication of racial or cultural differentiation. Morena is a a person with a darker skin tone such as caramel. At first I took offense when the taquero addressed me as güera, and I preferred señorita, but a Mexican woman sitting at the counter explained the meaning of güera to me. She was addressed as one too! Enjoy your experience!
I saw some youtube videos on the Best Tacos in Tijuana Mexico and I decided to Visit Tacos Las Tres Salsas. I Travel for Tacos and I'm really grad I Traveled for these Tacos. They bring each customer a plate with cucumbers, radishes and grilled green onions. I had a Carne Asada, Chorizo, Al Pastor and Suadero. All tacos had Fresh Guacamole, Salsa, Onions and Cilantro. The Tacos were packed with wood grilled Smokey meat and my first bite exploded in my mouth with flavor, I'm usually good with Two tacos but I ate Four and I really think I could have fit a couple more in my Belly! As for now, Tacos Las Tres Salsas is the Best Tacos in Mexico and possibly the US I have ever tasted!
Vampiros, Mulitas, Gorditas, Oh My! It's truly taco heaven here! I don't live in mexico, so i can't say with any authority... but to this gringa, this SEEMS about as authentic as you can get. A no-frills window overlooking an open kitchen, sitting on the sidewalk of a shabby street... just pull up a stool and watch them cook up all kinds of deliciousness while you browse the menu on the wall. Choose your taco style (they've got a lot to choose from! Tacos, sopas, mulitas, vampiros, gorditas, tortas... and probably more i'm forgetting) and choose your meat (adobada, carne asada, tripa, cabeza, chorizo, lengua, suadero, and probably more that i'm forgetting)... tell it to the chef behind the window... and in two minutes and for around two bucks, you will have an amazingly fresh and delicious specimen of taco perfection set in front of you. =^-,-^= PURRRRO Tip (for las gringas out there!) =^-,-^= Get your ch!t together and figure out what you want and how to order it in Spanish before you try to talk to the guy cooking... he's got little patience for gringa bullch!t. Do it like this: por favor una *taco type* (right of the menu) con *meat* (left of the menu) ...then hit him up again when you're ready for your next one. You don't gotta get all fancy or anything... just don't be like me and when he says 'que carne' keep saying 'vampiro vampiro!' (because my dumbass thought it was a type of meat not a type of taco hahaha he was soooo done with me. Now i know but wish someone had told me before! You're welcome!) =^-,-^= PURRRRO Tip #2 =^-,-^= Hit up the Six drive-thru market across the street on your way, and get a large michellada in a to-go cup to bring and enjoy with your tacos! Once i worked through ordering in my ch!tty spanish enhanced by a blonde-moment... i was rewqarded with the most amazing food. I got a vampiro con carne which was tender meaty perfection perfectly garnished and nestled between two crispy-grilled corn tortillas, and a mulitas con adobada which had the most amazingly flavored pork you can imagine. They serve it with a generous helping of grilled green onion, radish, cucumber and lime. I walked away stuffed and content... and having only spent around $5. I will definitely be back!
Super close to the border, has private parking with cameras everywhere which is a super big plus and the food is fire and the service is fast they remember EVERYTHING you ask for and they don't even need to use a pen and paper Dam!! That's skills if you ask me ! My husband isint really a big tipper but he gave them about $8 which is like a days work in Tijuana. MADD respect for these people here
Our friends were doing a competition to see which of their favorite taco places us turistas would enjoy the most and this one came out on top! The MOST flavorful and juicy adobada I have ever had! We also had a tripa and lengua - the tripa was a little crunchy and not off putting in the least while the lengua was just so delicious. Most tacos are 22 MXN with the tripa being 27 MXN, so that's ~$1.20 for a taco! I love Mexico! This one is located in "Las Ahumaderas" aka "Taco Alley" so there are other taco places nearby. If you want to sample from each, don't go too H.A.M. at this location. It'll be hard not to though since their tacos with the meat and flavoring are just so on point. Tip: Bring your wet napkins! They have a bunch of dry napkins, a big pump bottle of hand sanitizer, and a bathroom, but with no soap, so those together will just not get the job done. Also, they were a little hesitant taking our American dollars, so bring the pesos just in case!

This is hands down my favorite taco spot in TJ! Don't be scared to try everything on the menu you really can't go wrong here. The service is always great and the tacos come out super fast. They actually serve you, which is such a nice touch and makes the whole experience feel even better. I even brought a friend here who was a little unsure about TJ tacos and this place completely changed their mind. Upstairs has plenty of space, which is perfect if it gets busy, and everything is always clean including the restrooms, which is nice. The salsas are FIRE and the horchata 1000/10. No exaggeration, it's the best I've ever had. Prices are super reasonable too! For two people we got a bunch of tacos, multiple horchata refills, and a quesadilla, and it was 100% worth it. Love this place! read more

What a great spot in TJ!!! They had upstairs seating as well as a bar style seating downstairs. Service was quick and friendly. The tacos were a HIT. They were much bigger than I expected, with a healthy scoop of guacamole on top. Loved the big bowls of fresh limes and salsas as well. I'm not going to lie, I'm drooling just writing the review!!! 10/10 would come here again! read more

Stopped by here passing through TJ for the day .. super cool taco spot that was super busy non stop ! Tried their Al pastor taco & carne asada vampiro and Jamaica . I loved everything tasted so flavorful and the right amount of spice from their green salsa . They also give you a side of cucumbers, radish and green onions . This is definitely a must if you are in TJ! read more
I mean, what more do I need to say. The food, the tacos, the tacos!!! The TACOS!!! They're always so kind and quick to serve as soon as you walk up. Best taco experience after a night out at the bar or with the family for lunch. It's a legendary treat. read more

Great tacos, with multiple choices of meats which they cook fresh on site. Guacamole sauce is great and the red salsa is on the spicy side so be prepared. No seating so be prepared to eat while standing. It might look busy but the staff is quick and reliable to make orders so nothing to worry about. read more

Viva Vampiros!!! What an authentic and delicious experience at Tacos Las 3 Salsas! The menu is fairly straight forward, different types of meats and preparations, I ordered an adobada vampiro and a carne asada mulita and it was freaking fantastic! Talk about fresh and delicious! Came with a plate of grilled green onions, radishes and crispy cucumbers. Knowing some Spanish will definitely help you in the ordering process and make things go smoother, the staff were friendly and helpful even though our Spanish was rough, it all worked out fine. I highly suggest stopping at the liquor store around the corner and getting a michelada to go first, it goes great with the vampiros! Parking can be tricky but there are a couple of guys who assist with it on the street so just be patient and friendly. read more
I had to try Tijuana's classic street tacos, so I read that this place is really reliable for some of the best. I had the carne asada, chorizo, and adobada tacos, plus some banana water. The banana water was actually really good, and it tasted pretty much like a banana milkshake. Really nice sweet and cool counter to the hot tacos. Of the tacos, my favorite was by far the adobada due to its strong savory flavor with juicy tender meat. The chorizo and carne asada had nice smokey grilled flavor, though I didn't care much for the chorizo. And I really enjoyed the handmade tortillas. Also, this might be an unpopular opinion, but I wish they would put less guacamole or at least put it on the side. It was definitely good, but there was just so much of it that it somewhat took away from the delicious meats. Overall, I can't compare to other places, but this place seems reliable for good quality grilled meats, especially adobada and carne asada, and quality handmade tortillas. Super cheap prices, too. read more

Amazing tacos! Worth crossing the border For. I had the Cabeza, legunga, carne asada and pastor tacos! You can watch the fresh corn masa Tortillas being made before your eyes. The service is quick. If you don't speak good Spanish, it is a little Tough but overall easy to order by pointing to the menu items. FYI Some tacos come with gaucamole and pico toppings but you have no idea which ones! The Cabeza was my favorite, the meat was so tender. All the other tacos were excellent as well. For 8 people who had 3-4 each with drinks was only $44 American $. read more
Great street tacos for about $1 each. I had the adobada ones plain and the were delicious. The carne asada with all the toppings was pretty spicy. I didn't try the chorizo one but I heard they were awesome. A must stop in TJ! read more
Taco Alley in T.J. Tacos are solid just like in the other spots in Taco Alley. However, there are two items you must get here - Must order: 1# Banana Water - only spot that offers this elixir. 2# Vampiro with everything and Pastor. * Always fast, fresh and a lot of folks. So, the earlier you arrive the higher chance you'll have enjoying on one of the stools, counterside. * From page 1 of my book - #StreetEats - Bring your own wet naps and plastic gloves (from Costco)... much better than the provided unlimited napkins. * Less than a 15 minute walk from the Hyatt Place. read more
Definitely awesome tacos here on a consistent basis. My faves are the adobada and Suadero at this place for sure. Located in the downtown Tijuana "Las Ahumaderas" section of taquerias that are very well known. If you come to this area this is a must try for a least a taco or two. I like to try a couple here, a couple there, to know which are the best at each respective place. The agua de platano (banana) is fantastic! You have to try it here...!! read more
