    Carne asada tacos
    Carrie G.

    The carne asada tacos were delicious! Meat was fresh, tortillas fresh! Service was amazing they have table service. Really liked how clean everything was inside and being able to see the kitchen.

    Taco Fantasma de al pastor

    Searched for a keto friendly restaurant while in Tijuana and Taconazo popped up as serving a taco with out tortilla but rather a slice of cheese grilled to perfection. I went with the Al pastor, they served it with beans on the plate, but I didn't eat them. BOMB 10/10 would recommend and definitely eating here again!

    Recommend by another out of town traveler and locals. So glad I listened the fully loaded bbq pork tacos were so dang good I bought extra packed them oh ice and flew 10 tacos home with me to the family who were also so blown away by the flavor we all want to fly back just to get the tacos again and don't look past their beans they are not your average bean they have tons of mouth bursting flavor and cheese!

    Wow! This place exceeded any expectation I had. I had heard about this place from a co-worker and since it was only a couple blocks from my son's dentist we decided to stop by. I am so glad we did. At first we weren't sure how the ordering process worked so we headed to a table and sat down. A few minutes later a lady came with cucumber, radishes and limes. She then asked for our order. We ordered suadero, adobada, carne and tripe tacos as well as a flour quesadilla. For drinks Jamaica and coke light. As soon as one type of taco was done they were delivered. The tacos were extremely hot. I am such an impatient person I couldn't wait so I decided to burn my hands and enjoy my scorching hot tacos. The suadero was excellent. The meat was in chunks rather than shredded. It was very tender and was amazingly flavored. The salsa on top was good but a little spicy. Luckily I like spicy so I didn't mind. The adobada was perfect. This is the first taco restaurant that put large pieces of cooked pineapple in the taco. When it first arrived I wasn't sure what to think and pulled it out but then I ate it by itself and I was in love. I left the rest in the taco because it paired perfectly with the meat. The sauce and topping were all wonderful. The carne was perfect, an ideal carne taco. The guacamole was exceptional, some of the best I've had. I personally didn't try the tripe. My husband ordered that and he like it but it was his least favorite. My son's quesadilla was a good size and loaded with cheese. The prices are great and the service was good. The only downside was parking. There wasn't much nearby so we had to park a few blocks away. Definitely one of the better taco restaurants and I will be returning for more delicious tacos.

    Very good. Wish they had better tortillas and more salsa options. Otherwise pretty good I would come back.

    Tried this spot for the first time. Recommended from a family member. Glad I tried it! Delicious tijuana style tacos. Tried the asada & adobada. The tortillas are delicious. They are fresh as can be. The service is great as well and the location is perfect. Was a bit hard to find parking the time I came. I can see why though. Everyone wants to get their taco fix here lol.

    Honest Review S.

    These guys are ALWAYS on point. The taconazo burrito is crazy good too, a little bit of every meat the offer with cheese and onions and guacamole. Sooooooo delicious they hit the spot any time of the day!!

    Fast, friendly, and, most importantly, YUMMM! I think I have ordered almost everything on the menu. I have never regretted what I ordered. Also if you are looking for a low carb friendly option, try the vampiro, which is a cheese tortilla instead of a corn tortilla and you choose the filling. It's pretty hefty so beware.

    Taco de suadero! Mmmm!

What really sets this place apart is the outstanding customer service, the staff is welcoming, attentive, and treats every customer really nicely. The atmosphere is lively & outdoorsy, the prices are great, and the entire experience feels genuinely local and memorable. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a regular, this taco stand delivers incredible food that will keep you coming back for more. It's cash only btw.

    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.

    Found this place, thanks to Yelp…read more We crossed over to droop off my parents and wanted a place that served food but that we could sit down and talk. We had a 15 minute wait before we were sat at our table. As soon as we sat down, we had coffee cups ready and regular coffee or Cafe de olla ready to be served. Our Server was amazing. He made sure we were comfortable, and asked if we had any questions on the menu. We ordered the queso fundido to start, chilaquiles and tamales everything was great! I can't wait to go back and try the lunch/dinner menu. The place was very busy but the place was filled with good vibes and great energy.

I had someone call from our hotel and we got right in and there was a line outside. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is all great. Their breakfast goes from American eggs and bacon with the best potatoes to wonderful burrito type breakfast items. Their menudo is great and they have great Mexican meats as well. Lunch and dinner is about the same. They make Mexican style fish and steak that is just perfect every time. All of their Mexican dishes are just wonderful. You can't go wrong. They even have bottled water--never drink the water there, just don't. They have the best rice and beans. The service is great. They make you feel right at home and even if you don't speak Spanish, most speak English and you will figure it out because they will help you. The prices are fair for what you get. At dinner I consider it fine dining. It is all good and you will be happy. The place is also clean and super comfortable.

The Zona Rio location has a small dining area, that is very popular with both the locals and visitors. It is easy to see why. Their menu does not over dose on the standard morning and afternoon items that you would find anyplace. However, this is the first restaurant I've been to in Tijuana, that does not have an English menu.... so I had to labor through the Spanish menu. But, they do have unique dishes, thus making the visit adventurous, because it is difficult to choose. I went back and forth, and finally settled for their 3-egg omelet with asparagus and sheep cheese. It came with refried beans, strings of carrots and beets, small fired up tostadas and fresh tortillas (both blue and yellow corn). A small side of soggy chilaquiles was also served. A small flavorful salsa tray is also provided with 3 options, ranging from mild to hot. The asparagus spears were thin, cut up into small pieces and sautéed with mild spices. The outer egg covering soft and not overdone. If anything, there was too much sheep cheese, in certain portions of the omelet. I say this because it was an asparagus omelet, and it, instead of the cheese, should have been the star. Still, it did not take away from the other commendable aspects of the complete entree and its accompaniments. Before the meal, a small refreshing fruit plate is served. Coffee and overall service here, was mucho excellente.
