A great taco shop with a street-side countertop and additional picnic seating with cover. The tacos were really good, especially the al pastor with the avocado cream. The carne asada left something to be desired—it was a bit rare for my taste. The salsa was super good, though. Quick and simple spot with authentic Tijuana street tacos. It’s also very cheap.

By far the most memorable tacos of our whole trip, we ordered 4 pastor tacos, which were AMAZING. We got bar seats right in front of the spit meat. Greeted and served by the taco barista who managed the spit roast. He was super friendly and prompt, we threw in a tostado which was dry and stale so I’d avoid it at all cost. The smell alone from the meat was tantalizing. The juices and accompaniments paired perfectly together, had a little heat to it but delicious overall. I will mention, service from the cashier who seemed to be the owner was absurd. He was just a jerk, he saw us coming to close the bill and literally walked off without a word. Then seeing as we’re VERY foreign, we tried our best to communicate but he had a very off putting attitude. Thankfully a local was there to guide our way through. Tacos were bomb, service from him left a terrible impression. There's a ton of other locations which we’d happily visit instead. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch

This place is trying to charge Cali prices, $35 for 6 tiny tacos. They definitely have different tourist and local prices. If you're white passing you'll want to avoid going here. Theres much better places that will appreciate your patronage and not take advantage of you. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $200–300 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
Great flavor for tacos had the Carne, Adobada, and Cabeza. Quite a few people serving us, helpful and decently fast service. No issues with food or service. My reasons for the 4 stars would be allowing passerby sellers to approach you while you eat and will not leave you alone. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch

Well their tacos are very small and expensive, their seating are is all metal style and they are not comfortable at all i dont recommend this place but if you want something different go try it out. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $400–500 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2
Lacking love & flavor. Small variety of meats available to choose from, we were also served burnt over cooked meat. I requested extra salsa to add flavor and it was still bland. I would expect 5 star tacos in T.J. I've had better tacos at the San Diego locations
I came here for lunch today. I had the asada, cabeza and lengua tacos. The best by far were the asada tacos. The cabeza and lengua were not as tasty. The asada torts was amazing!!!! Tacos were 27pesos, torta was 65, and sodas were 27 a piece. FYI They only take cash. Will defend make a pit stop for asada tacos and torta next time!!!!
This is a gem in Tijuana. If you are in town do yourself a favor and make sure you go eat. Its yummi, affordable, and you pay when your done. Fresh corn tortillas as well.

Tacos here are great! If you're looking for a good carne asada taco with guac this is the place. All the fixings and soda drinks you expect to see in a Mexican taco shop. The staff is nice and attentive to your needs. I'm definitely coming back to this spot next time I'm in Tijuana.
Good prices, friendly staff, but slow service. We were on the terrace, which was just the rooftop, over the second floor balcony diving room, but we had a partial ocean view. Seemed like the terrace was lower priority than the diving room or the balcony. We didn't mind so much since we were in a group and having fun socializing. The price on the special was great... Six lobster tail halves (small), lobster tortilla soup, rice, beans, hand-made flour tortillas and an alcoholic beverage for $16 USD. We ordered two specials and three of us feasted on fresh lobster for $32.
