Been here twice and will likely be back. Lines are sometimes long and parking can be a challenge. All of the tacos that I had were good. Keep in mind that these are street tacos, not the large ones you've maybe been used to in the past. You'll need a few to fill you up if you're industrial-strength hungry
Of course I'm willing to make a long drive for tacos, especially since I've heard so many great things about this place! After a lengthy drive, searching for parking, waiting in a long line, and looking for a place to sit, I had even higher expectations for these tacos. These were supposed to be life changing tacos. But, I've had much better. They weren't bad, but for all the hype they got, expectations were far above reality. Not something I'd go out of my way for, again.

Arriving here, my party had to circle the building three times before we decided we were going to park next door at the Carl's Jr. A man said our vehicle was going to get towed so while my party ordered food, I went and found a suitable parking spot as some customers left this place. Lots of customers means something is great. As I walked towards the entrance, I see a Caucasian man smiling in excitement, so I asked him if I should believe all the hype I was hearing and he said yes. So the taco meat is grilled over a fire right in front of you, to me this is a big plus. Place seemed clean so I was happy. So as this ROCK STAR sank his teeth in to the carne ASADA like a great White shark would do to some animal when it was hungry, I could feel the juices of the salsa mixed with the marinated meat going down my throat, so so good.. Thing was, a little too much guacamole! Place is extremely busy which means it is a sign that something here is being done right but yeah too much hype, don't get me wrong, real good, but I expected more.
Get the adobada fries!. Wow. Good tacos, too. Good price.
Amazing franchise.. I am from canada and for some reason we are out of reach when it comes to authentic taquerias. we have alot of traditional ethnic restaraunts but very few ethnic mexican!! in my opinion i would call this place a true taqueria even though it is a franchise. but i cannot explain how hearty and mouthwatering all of the tacos here are. its definitley not something i can get my hands on from where i live especially the exotic types such as the taco adobada. Just the set up of the place and how they run things like their service but most of all their food is what leaves me in awe. Please open up somewhere in Canada!!
Wonderful. Simple and wonderful. You watch them shave the meet and make the tacos which are yummy and a great value.
Tried several tacos, but the pork adobados is amazing.
Al pastor to die for. I love their street taco's the al pastor is my go to taco. When ever I'm in town this is a must stop, don't be scared by the looks of the place just go in and order a bunch of taco's and you'll walk out happy.
Best tacos Outside of Mexico! Very authentic!!!
Best tacos. Be sure to try the adobada

Best tacos outside of Tijuana fresh to order
Authentics mexican tacos, kinds pricy but well worth it. This place isn't any ordinary taco shop it's a must try
You have to try the "mula al pastor", it's Over priced but it's worth it
Order the spicy pork tacos with the fixins'.
You like Mexican food? Of course you do! What’s not to like about delicious tacos piled with meats and cheeses? Tacos El Gordo de Tijuana is one place that really does it right. This little taco shop is originally from Tijuana and they have ported themselves over the border to San Diego with three locations in town, plus one in Vegas. [ menu at tacos el gordo in chula vista ] As soon as you walk in, you can tell this place is just a little bit different from the other taco shops in town. The menu is well lit above you and there are stations. Each station specializes in a particular kind of meat. There’s a carne asada guy, an adobada guy and a guy who kind of serves up “everything else” (tripe, cabeza, legnua, etc.) You pick the kind of meat you want and order from that station. Jake and I always go to the adobada station for the spicy pork that’s turned on a spit. [ adoba

Deliciosos los tacos de asada, las quesadillas, las mulas y su agua de horchata, lo recomiendo ampliamente, los costos de los tacos y las quesadillas sencillas son de 27 pesos, quesadillas con carne 50 pesos y las mulas en 60... el chile toreado no pica tanto pero tiene buen sabor 🤤
Alli quiebran Ventanas casi en la cara de los takeros y no miran nada que mal forma de recibir clientela.. se miran muy mal .. no los recomiendo
Excelente opción de comida rápida en Tijuana los tacos al pastor los mejores para mi gusto
Excelente servicio y muy buenos tacos! Y excelente servicio de Julio el taquero! 🌮👍🏻
No diré mucho solo que es parada obligatoria en Tijuana, sin duda uno de los mejores tacos, la atención en rápida sin líos y muy amables 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Los tacos de adobada son mas pequeños y si bien la salsa verde que le ponen esta rica, como antes, el sabor de la carne ya no es igual.
Los tacos de asada siguen estando buenos, si regresaria.
Tacos El Gordo....
Deliciosos tacos,quesadillas,sopes y mas platillos son unicos. Siempre que paso Por la tia es de llegar y echarme unos de Adobada con una rica agua de arroz... Volvere
Tan ricos los tacos como hace décadas, bien servidos y el precio excelente.
Pequeño local cerca del Mercado Hidalgo. No tienen mucha variedad de carnes pero estan buenos los tacos. Yo pedì de asada y al pastor. Tambien tienen mulitas .Mi hermana pidiò mulitas de asada. El muchacho que nos atendiò fue muy amable y estaba al pendiente de lo que ocuparamos.
Muy rico los tacos y el agua de horchata, solo que esta muy abierto y corría un aire helado y ni donde resguardarse!
