    Went to Tijuana for a long weekend to see my favorite artist and in researching tacos spots, El Nuevo Poblano kept popping up so I had to make it my first stop. The tortillas for all tacos are hechas a mano with the exception of the Al pastor but you can ask them for hand made tortillas. I got 2 tacos de asada and a mulita chica de asada. When I tell you everything was HEAVENLY! Tijuana style tacos come with a ton of guacamole so be ready! The meat was incredibly juicy and tender and I ate every last bite. The service was excellent and super attentive. It's gets super busy but you have the option for to go and they even have a drive thru! Loooooved this place!

    La comida en estos tacos está delicioso, desde que llegas hay una fila para poder pedir tus tacos yo en lo personal. Los comí en el lugar tienen un amplio lugar con sillas y mesas para que disfrutes de tus tacos sin la prisa de estar comiendo parado, tienen una gran variedad de menú y aguas frescas. Una variedad de salsas y claro no pueden faltar los típicos tacos de Tijuana con su respectivo aguacate. La verdad los súper recomiendo. ¿Cómo pueden ver en la fotografía? Los tacos están grandísimos con un solo taco. Te llenas

    Bomb I enjoy these tacos de adobada just to much guacamole that's the only complaint I have but other than that really good

    I enjoyed the tacos here I cannot complain about this place only thing I can complain is how much guacamole they put on the tacos. Other than that Best tacos in Tijuana.

    Best tacos in Tijuana ! Hands down. A must try when visiting Tijuana. Uber there so that you don't have to look for parking. It's a busy street

    Drove to this place based on the recommendation of Lalo Villar from La Ruta de la Garnacha and boy, it was well worth it. The place is huge and bustling with and army of staff moving on every direction - pipping-hot food traveling to tables all over the place. From the moment you arrive, the sheer view of the meat spits, the smell of fresh steaks on the grills and handmade tortillas is a sight to behold. Had a couple of Tacos al Pastor, along with a Steak Quesadilla - both were huge and delicious! Definitely will go back and recommend to anyone looking for an authentic taco experience.

    Adobada Tacos

    We went to Tacos el Nuevo Poblano this evening and it was fantastic. Both of us said to each other that they were the best tacos we've had in Tijuana (and we've had a lot of tacos). I had the carne asada tacos and they were filled with amazingly juicy asada, cilantro, onions and a big serving of tasty guacamole. My partner had the adobada tacos and they were amazing as well. It's a simple menu but they do a stellar job with the meats they specialize in. There was no line when we arrived but by the time we left there were a lot of people waiting to be seated. Tacos el Nuevo Poblano is a little further out from the typical tourist haunts since it's located in the Buena Vista area but it's well worth the slightly longer drive for the authentic food. We found the service to be friendly and prompt - all employees were busily working. From what we could tell there is only street parking in the neighborhood. All I can say is I can't wait to go back for more tacos soon!

    Tacos are Always good! Service has improved. Restaurant is very clean and safe. I will definitely return many more times

    Massive tacos. Freshest corn tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft and super thin. Basically just a vessel to hold everything in. Carne saada is a little fatty but you can barely tell. A mountain of fresh guacamole covers everything. You can't go wrong here.

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.

The food was actually good, wish I could say the same about the service. Ordered tacos and when it came to drinks they only had one kind. The problem was that even tho the restaurant was dead empty they were in a big rush to get us out of there. This was around 2pm today May 21st 2025. It's not like we made this up, my mom and I head the cook tell the waiter that we had finished eating but still had not left. I am never coming back here since TJ is crowded with taco stands that would love me as a customer. I advise you to save yourself the bad experience and rather get it to go or eat somewhere else. Fuimos a este local hoy 21 de Mayo. Los tacos estaban buenos pero el servicio no fue lo que esperaba. Primeramente solo tenían un tipo de refresco pero el problema fue que no entiendo porque si el local estaba solo, los empleados tenían tanta prisa por que nos retiráramos. Escuchamos a un cocinero chaparro que le dijo a la mesera que nomas nos paramos pero no nos íbamos. Este no es modo de tratar a sus clientes. Ay bastantes puestos de tacos en Tijuana. Si siguen haciendo esto van a crear mala fama. Les sugiero que busquen otro puesto de tacos y se eviten un mal rato.

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.
