    I was in Tijuana for work, and got to try these carne asada tacos for lunch. They were delivered, so I can't speak to the ambience. I had two tacos - they are huge! I was stuffed after 1.5 tacos, but just couldn't get myself to put them down. Their flour tortillas are different, they almost have a chewy texture in a great way. The tortillas had beans, carne asada, chopped onions, cilantro, and guacamole. Slices of lime and pickled chilies were included which made the taste even more amazing. This was literally the best tasting meal I had while in Tijuana. Totally recommend!

    Friends and I had to stop by los famosos Tacos El Yaqui as soon as we arrived to Rosarito due to the raving yelp reviews and from friends and it did not disappoint! We all had tacos Perrones and we all agreed they were absolutely huge and the best tacos we've all enjoyed!! All employees were super cool and offered great service and the restaurant area was clean. Definitely looking forward to coming back when I'm in Rosarito again!

    Honest Review S.

    My favorite taco shop in Rosarito and it's not even close. Been coming here since I was a child. They focus on QUALITY. unfortunately, they went viral on social media (well deserved) so they always have a line now, but it's so worth it. Salsas are great, service is great, and the flour tortillas are so yummy

    A MUST... beware you have been warned in advance that you will fall in love with this flour tortilla taco that they call " perrones". Meat (carne asada) beef grilled in front of you over wood. Melted cheese, beans and guacamole compliment your carne. They are larger than a street taco. Enjoy... I can't wait to go back...

    This place is amazing! I forgot to take a picture of my taco they make their perrones with fresh carne and homemade tortillas. melted cheese with beans cilantro onions guacamole and salsa, they're delicious. The perrones are large and the quesadillas are literally just fresh tortilla and cheese melted.

    Modern taco shop serves carne asada tacos

    This place is highly recommended by locals and I understand why. The ambiance is cool on hot sunny days and the tacos are good. I love carne asada tacos and would have ordered them anyway but not everyone wants a carne asada taco (they only serve carne asada tacos...). It'd be great if they branched out and offered more variety. Also it's off the main strip and can be tough to find.

    It takes a while to find in the backroad a of TJ but if you see this sign you have arrived!

    If you're looking for authentic tacos in Tijuana, this taco spot is an absolute must visit…read more The asada, pastor, and everything is packed with flavor. 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.

Bad: * Very, very hard to find a table. * The food prices are very expensive for the quality of mediocre food and drinks. * We only ordered six pieces of oysters and two shrimp tostadas. It took over 30 minutes to get our food. It took too long. * The Customer service while ordering food was so bad it seemed like they didn't even care about our order. * I feel bad for the waiters and waitresses delivering food because they were running around looking for the numbers on the table. I know that it can be very frustrating and chaotic. * Not a good place for large parties due to the very limited seating. * Not very children friendly, more for an adult environment. * But the worst of it was the parking, it was very bad and hard to find, you might have to park more than two blocks away to find any parking. Conclusions: we were very disappointed and not a good experience. Most likely we will not be coming back.

The service is true fin dinning service. You will want for nothing. The entire staff is great. Dressy, but business casual is just fine. Go in a armless tee and cargo shorts and you will be out of place. They have an amazing selection of food. They have sushi, empanadas, steaks, tacos and all sorts of small plates. We get a bunch and share. Their sushi is so fresh and their steak is cooked to perfection. They even have some great soups now and again. There is something for everyone here.

The moment you walk in, there are multiple servers greeting you and escorting you to your table. You know right away that it's going to be a memorable evening. I actually did not know that there was Japanese fare here too, and I tried to concentrate on the local Mexico dishes. I am not a big eater so in order to taste a variety I tried to choose appetizers and small bites. The evening began with complimentary salsas, three of them, with chips. What is unique is that their chips are long rectangular strips of different composition. The salsas were fresh. I liked the green one the best and once I had finished these, they brought another batch of chips, but these had a mild but satisfying cheese taste. Both of the chip varieties were spectacular. My first choice for food, was the almond crusted green beans that are drizzled with sweet and sour sauce. This clearly had a Japanese tint to it. It is a large potion I only finished half of it. My only comment on this dish is that I couldn't taste the almonds. It looked more like it was a tempura type fry. The sweet and sour sauce dominated the dish. My second selection, was the popular (according to my server), the Taco Richi (ribbeye, cheese crust, pork cracklings, and avocado). Comes as one piece. This was superb. Finally, more Tacos, the Beef Steak Gaonera (Hand-made tortillas, guacamole and pico de gallo). Comes as two pieces. This too was equally good. I also succumbed and ordered a side order of french fries too. At the end, they surprised me with a complimentary dessert. A small potion of their cheesecake, which had four caramelized macadamia nuts on top. It was different. Overall, it was a dining experience that was unmatched and one that can give LA restaurants, serious competition. I had at least five different servers taking care of me right through the night. Needless to say, the service was outstanding.
