Tacos El Franc - Tijuana

I come to TJ about once or twice a year. I come to Francs every single time I go. Once on the way into Mexico and once on the way out of Mexico. It’s located about 3 minutes on the Mexican border near a Costco...and the famous Tacos el Gordo. A little secret that the locals told us... when Francs is closed everyone goes to the #2 spot El Gordo. But when Francs is open then no one, I mean literally no one, is at El Gordos. That’s how good Francs is! They are the most amazing tacos and are easily accessible to LA and San Diego locals. I usually get 2 Tacos de Asada, 2 Tacos de Pastor, 1 Taco de Lengua and 1 Taco de Tripe. I usually eat everyone else’s leftovers too! Also there’s a Costco and many liquor stores down the street if you get where I’m going with that. I know you’ll enjoy this spot!

Tacos and good are always so fresh and delicious! They also serve fresh aromatized watered orange was amazing! Always the Taco shop I'm going to when I'm TJ!

You have great tacos, quite the best in Tijuana, but beware for owners and sons, very unpleasant, they watch your every step, it is quite disturbing that you are being watched as if you go stealing or going away without paying your tab. I was... it was on numerous occasions with customers and every time I felt appalled by their ugly vigilance. Apart from that, the Carne asada taquero looks and make sure I tend. I would consider Tijuana the taco capital of the world that was all over the country and every place with its own taco-style presentation.

Absolutely brilliant tacos. Tijuana is home to many excellent Taco cities, but Tacos El Franc is one you need to enjoy time. No bad taco in the menu.

We went to TJ for the afternoon to find the best tasting tacos. I asked two separate uber drivers which place had the best tacos and both said Tacos el Franc. We stopped there last and it did not disappoint. The adobada (meat cooking on...the spit) was incredible with perfect flavoring and crust. The carne asada was tender with a perfect crust and smokey taste. So delicious!! Best part was that 8 tacos cost $16.50. Cucumber and radishes included with the table. If I were to make a recommendation, it would be to add cotija (or similar) cheese to the tacos. Only cheese available was mozzarella. We ordered tacos as prepared, no special requests. We left the restaurant at about 4 pm and the line was starting to wind around the corner. Loved this place! We'll definitely be back!!
