I'm so happy I happened upon this place! I originally chose this restaurant because in Los Angeles there's a popular spot with the same name so I was hoping there would be a correlation here. And so there was! Haha, all the tacos I ordered were so delicious! I especially enjoyed the adobada taco. When we ordered we told the kind server we wanted our tacos with everything (con todo). The adobada taco was super flavorful, juicy and addicting. It came with a complementary cilantro-looking sauce that made the taco even better. The Suadero was soft and flavorful as well with a spicy kick. The Asada was flavorful and came with lots of guacamole/avocado. They also give you a small plate full of limes and slices of radishes to enjoy with your food/tacos. It is a very spacious restaurant with a VIP side (maybe for locals or etc) and a regular side. Although they don't have beer they had a fridge filled with refreshing soft drinks. I highly recommend you try this place just a hop across the border, it is only a short uber ride away.
Really delicious tacos in Zona Rio/Tijuana area. Parking can be located on the back designated lot, or in the surrounding streets. This joint is located right across from Costco. I ordered their regular tacos with asada, adobada, lengua, cabeza, and suadero. I also tried their tamarindo and horchata which came as bottled drinks. My favorite tacos were definitely the adobada and asada. Their salsa had a nice kick. There are also radish and lime available at the table. Service was friendly. Tacos were about 44 pesos and up. They also had quesa tacos, burritos, and quesadillas.
I'm from Los Angeles, and I've always been on "the search" in finding the best taco spot in Tijuana. I feel like I might've just found it. El Taconazo as it appears on Apple Maps is my new To Go spot whenever I'm across the border. The tacos were soooo damn good, I got 2 chorizo, 2 asada, and 2 buche with a Mexican coke ... man o' mannn it hit the spot. F the diet I was in here in Los Angeles, when you're in Mexico it should be a crime not to pig out. I guess the only downside was no beer lol, I definitely felt like having one with these bomb tacos were a must but the coke was a good replacement :) The service was good! As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated. Waiters had good energy, and were friendly overall. Nevertheless I'll for sure be back! Gained a customer out of me .
The service was fast and easy and we were able to grab our mainly to-go order without a hitch. We had some lengua mulitas while we waited and they were delicious. I brought lengua, asada and al pastor tacos home for the family and it was a hit. Definitely a great place for a quick bite as it's a very casual joint with quick service.
The best lengua tacos I've ever had. The other meats are pretty good also. Prices are cheaper than SD.
There are several Taco Nazos in Tijuana. I am unaware if they are all under the same ownership as a chain. What I do know is that this location was on a main thoroughfare in the Zona Centro with plenty of taco shops to choose from. The suite was being refurbished, but business continued as usual. We came here after eating at a competitor less than a mile away on the same side of the street. The entrance was on the back side adjacent to an outdoor patio. A hostess assigned us to a long table near the front where we could see the sidewalk. Two large stations each had menu boards above them with meats being cooked on a spit and grills. Most of the tacos were priced at 37 pesos apiece. Tortas, quesadillas, and mulitas were more expensive at 100 pesos each. I recommended to each member of our party to order one or two tacos at most to pace ourselves throughout the walking foodie tour. I picked a Suadero which was a cut of beef between the belly and the leg (i.e. shank). The taco was served on two corn tortillas filled with meat, cilantro, onions, and salsa verde. Compared to the previous place where we ate, the price was the same, however my taco wasn't quite as juicy. The service from the waiter was fine although his English skills weren't as proficient. Part of my downgraded rating was because the ongoing construction left the exterior of the dining area as an open-air and incomplete setting. I rated our stop at Taco Nazo with 3.5 stars.
Tacos in Tijuana, Mexico... This was stop #4 of five places on our unofficial Foodie Tour. Emmett had plotted out our journey and selected Taco Nazo for our last savory meal of the day. I was really full from the tostada, horchata, and tacos at other places. I.just.could.not.eat.anything.else I did observe efficient service in the open-air environment. My friends' food did appear and smell delicious! Next time we're there, I surely will get an adobada taco... we watched the worker shave the meat off of the rotisserie... wow... it looked so delectable!
We came here for some tacos. They greeted us right away and offered us to dine outside or a table inside. The weather was great that day so we decided to stay outside. The menu is posted outside on the wall and their service was prompt. We didn't have to wait to get a table but buy the time we were done eating, there was already a lot of people waiting to sit down. I ordered two Adobada tacos, and two Asada tacos. My wife also ordered a Tripa taco and it was good. Tacos were 36 pesos each. Both meats were delicious l, but I would say the Adobada tacos were better. The Asada tacos came with your carne Asada, cebolla y cilantro, and a very creamy guacamole. The meat was perfectly cooked and the guacamole went perfect with the tacos. The Adobada taco came with your pork meat cebolla y cilantro and a delicious green salsa. The pork was so tender and the salsa paired perfectly with the Adobada meat. No wonder this place gets packed. The tacos are amazing here. Will definitely be returning.
The food is amazing. I love the high protein veggies option. The service is quick to order. The kitchen took a little longer. The ambiance was loud; but manageable
Anytime we are in Tijuana, Taco Nazo is a must. Even order it to our Airbnb. It is worth it. It is always jam packed and lively... so be prepared to wait. They have a variety of meats. I've tired the carne asada(grilled steak), lengua (tongue), adobado(marinated pork) , buche, suadero, and tripa (tripe). I will say my favorite are the adobado, suadero and lengua. Soo good. Cooked perfectly. I usually go for the vampiros. Basically a corn tortilla (not fried) but grilled until perfectly crunchy with layers of cheese and meats. I like to ask for a side of grilled onions, nopales (cactus), and radish. Their sauces and salsas are really good. Just be careful of the spice level of some. The tacos are great and filling, the vampiros are my favorite but the torta is nothing special. Definitely recommend!
Taconazo has been my choice the past 2 years when I head down to Tijuana since they are right there after crossing into Mexico. These are really good tacos. They may not be the best in Tijuana but they are a strong choice for tacos before you head back over the border. My taco review *Adobada: these are my favorite. Plenty of meat and lots of flavor. Kind of what the old Tacos El Gordo used to taste before it went downhill. *Carne Asada: they are solid. They have everything you need in a Tijuana taco, although I prefer other spots if I am just going for carne asada. *Cabeza: another solid choice. They have lots of flavor without being overly greasy, which can be an issue at some taquerias. They also have lots of variations (burritos, vampiros, mulitas and quesadillas) that you can make with the various meat choices if you want to go down that route. Family typically goes down the quesadillas route since they love the flour tortillas. The red salsa is good and can be a bit spicy for those that are sensitive to that. You can order grilled green onions/chiles (surtidos), but you do get charged for that. Overall a solid choice to satisfy the itch for tacos near downtown Tijuana.
Good place for vegetarians if you like nopales, which I don't, they are way to slimy and their vegetarian tacos and burritos are filled with them!! Ended up ordering tortillas and guacamole and I was satisfied, would have been nice if they had a better selection of grilled veggies like onions, peppers and mushrooms..I guess I am dreamer! Have had way better service at one of their other locations. Ending on a positive, the tortillas were delicious! I am giving them 5 stars because their regular food is pretty bomb and it was a nice attempt at a healthy option. read more
Honestly I would have given El Taconazo a 5 star rating, but on my personal opinion I gave it a 3 star. If you are like me and can't handle certain types of meat such as pork, then this is not the best option even though there are vegetarian options I still love my carne asada. I order three tacos of carne asada and as I took the first bite I saw pieces of pork in my taco and it automatically gave me a stomach ache. Besides that the flavors were great and the service was on point. Next time I'll go vegetarian! read more

Best Adobada tacos in Tijuana. The Carne Asada is excellent as well. About $1.50 per taco. Burritos also available and some other interesting options. The "Fantasma" por example is a taco but the tortilla is made of cheese. Do yourself a favor and just eat here. They have a few locations, all of them are fantastic. read more

My husband and I drive over 100 miles just to get to Taconazo and it is well worth it. These tacos are the best we've tried in TJ. I always get the adobada tacos and they are always delicious! I highly recommend this spot. The service is always good and the staff gets your food to your table real quick. read more

One word. BOMB!!! We stopped by this place on our way to playas and let me tell you WE'LL BE BACK! I ordered al pastor (adobada) and hubby got carne asada as well as al pastor, we both enjoyed them so much! One thing, they do not sell alcohol... BUT the person who took our order allowed us to head over to Oxxo (which is right around the corner) and get some! She even kindly opened up the bottle for us. The salsas could be better but the nopales and cebollitas are perfect to go along with. Yum yum yummm. Just writing this review made my mouth water once again! read more

Came out here with some friends and heard this was the best taco joint in TJ. I think it was pretty darn good! The environment was very trendy and clean and modern. The service was good as well. I had two abodoba tacos and two carne asada tacos. They didn't have chips for the quac but they brought out little tostadas so we can eat and it was just as good! I liked the bottles of Diet Coke too! Check this place out if you're in TJ, you won't regret it! We also got a side of beans and those were good with the tostadas too. I also like the little tray of hot sauces! I recommend this place! read more

Keto Friendly!!! Order El Fantasma, no beans, your choice of protein. I got a tripe Fantasma. They substitute the tortilla for a cheese wrap. So delicious! Their green avocado cream sauce is so good! Very friendly and accommodating staff. Small parking lot with an attendant, makes me feel safe leaving my car. Very good birria as well. read more

My recent trip south of the boarder ended with a stop at El Taconazo. The tacos were amazing! I had their asada, chorizo and adobada. The adobada specifically, were my favorite; absolute perfection! read more
This place is one of the better taco spots you can find in TJ. It's fairly close to the border (just a short ride away) and they're open 24/7! Service is awesome! The guys taking your order are patient and don't rush you. And the waitresses are always making sure you're doing a-okay and checking to see if you're in need of a refill on more tacos. Each tacos is $20 peso so that's just a bit over a $1 USD with the current exchange rate. Come hungry so you can chow down a handful of tacos (I usually eat about 4-6 each time I'm having TJ style street tacos)! Hop onto an uber, get your grub on and eat until your belly is content! read more

Nice big fat TJ tacos with cheese and meat and all sorts of stuff to put in and on them. Dang, these were good. Easy seating and the food just keeps on coming. Park in the back if you can't find a spot in front or on the side. read more
When I was done eating here, I wanted to take my clothes off, have an ice cold 64 oz Gatorade and watch judge Judy; yes this place is that good. The carne Asada was so-so, but adobada had my fat ass seeing clockwork elves. Oh, I've pierced the veil; I've seen inter-dimensional beings, and they told me to eat more fantasma. What is fantasma? Well, funny you should ask. Fantasma is a fat mans paradise. It's essentially your meat choice with grilled onions, beans, and advocado smoothed with cheese on top, sitting on a bed of, you guessed it! Cheese!!! It's the best damn thing I've tasted this year, and when I die, I want it to be buried with me.... read more

Stopped into this place after wife and I stocked up in Costco. Saturday afternoon and it was packed. Always a good sign. Ordered a few carne asada taco's and a few adobada's. Best adobada taco's I have ever had. Period. So good that two days later we decided to stop and stock up on Costco stuff to take back home. We parked on the left side of Costco, hooked the parking attendant up with a couple bucks and walked across the street. Much lighter crowd than Saturday and wife and I hit those adobada's up again. Maybe even better the second time. Those sumbitches are going to haunt my dreams till the next time we come down here. Do yourself a favor and just go already. read more

We enjoy coming here. The tables are clean, staff are friendly, food orders are correct, and their food is delicious. The establishment has some parking but it's usually full. There is street parking nearby. They also have bathrooms and outdoor sinks to wash hands. Tables are mostly indoors and some outdoors. Variety of tacos like adobada, birria, carne asada, cabeza, lengua, chorizo, and others. They have non-alcoholic drinks like horchata, Jamaica, agua de pepino, and soft drinks. read more
