    Really , some of the best street tacos i've ever had. Its a long walk down the main ave, but well worth it. Tacos are 25 pesos and cokes are 20 pesos. Locals walk up to the serving/bar area and order from the servers who make the tacos right in front of you. Radiches and limes are on the table. Be sure to get lots of napkins, as you will need them.

    These tacos are one of a kind, no kme comes close to them in my humble opinion. The tacos have a unique flavor, very tasty, beautifully sloped together with plenty of guacamole and fiery salsa that's unique on its own. I had the carne asada tacos which are super good, smoked filled meat which just explodes in your mouth, try this place, you right regret it. Best tacos around.

    They had great and fast service! Very nice men. Amazing and tasty tacos! I just wish I asked for the beef to be cooked a bit more but regardless the tacos were amazing. Just know they cook the meet a little bit on the raw side but you can request to have the meat cooked a bit more.

    These tacos are the best I've had! Will definitely return on my next trip to Tijuana, even if it is out of my way..... My mouth waters ever time I think of them SO GOOD!!! And about $1.20 a piece.

    Best tacos ever! I always come here specifically. The staff is nice and clean place.

    All I can say I been coming here for years. Every time I come I always end up with a full stomach and a happy camper. When you first get to the place they have parking, clean bathrooms, and really amazing staff. Everyone there is perky and if you are a regular they remember you. I love their tacos because the tortillas are handmade, the meats are clean and fresh with great flavor, and most of all amazing salsas and toppings. You can't go wrong with that. So if you're in Tijuana try them out. I know I will be going back next time like my tradition with my family.

    Mmmmm yummyb

Una Adobada Vampido Mas Firto Carne...(I always act like I forget I want adobada haha) Any way!! Good times that will last forever here at NAZO!!! WE LOVE TACO NAZO!

    I'm so happy I happened upon this place! I originally chose this restaurant because in Los Angeles…read morethere'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.

We had first-hand experience, and he wanted us to come around and get close to him as he prepared. Was interesting, $2 for a huge size double tortilla tacos. You can't go wrong with that. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Main: 1. 2 Carne Asada Tacos onions cilantro 2. 2 Al Pastor Tacos onions cilantro Drink: 1. Mexico Monster drink made with real sugar Overall experience was absolutely amazing. He made sure we were enjoying our tacos and wanted to make sure if we were satisfied and hungry for more. He was so insisted to take the trash away from our hands even though the trash bin was literally in front of us. I politely said no and threw it away myself. GREAT SERVICE! I definitely recommend this location due to their outstanding customer service experience. They will take care of you the minute you arrive and till you are completely satisfied. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

I've enjoyed a multitude of tacos throughout various places in Mexico and in the USA. I literally plan vacations around eating tacos and nothing compares to these. The carne asada is tender and flavorful, the Adobada (El Pastor) tacos are tender, full of flavor and are out of this world delicious. They load them up with toppings. They'll give you grilled onions and a grilled jalapeno pepper on the side with a lime, then load them up with onions, cilantro, fresh salsa and a generous heap of guacamole. They are simply the best and I find myself coming back to TJ again and again because I can't find tacos anywhere else that compares to Tacos Las 24 Horas.
