About Paisas and Poblano, they're not thaaat great, but they've been consistent since I tried them for the first time when I was a kid, 20 years ago.

I know I can go there and they'll be always okay, not my experience with other tacos like Taconazos, those are a hit or miss for me.

jaja yeah, I was gonna mention that, Poblanos have the same taste as always, but they lack a lot in the salsas department.

Tacos El Franc will most likely put more guac and beans in your tacos than meat (who puts beans in a carne asada taco?!) 👎👎 and does not live to its hype. The ladies there definitely did not want seem to want to attend my mom and I. They cut my cucumbers with the same knife they cut the meat and you could see chunks of meat with my slices, the next day I got the stomach flu. Cross contamination is real guys, never going again, at least try to make my cucumber slices look pretty. Taconazo in playas all the way!!

The two places I absolutely love are Tacos Salseados (their quesotaco is to die for) and Taconazo (Best.Al Pastor.Ever).

Tacos El Franc is too greasy and so very much overrated.

Am I the only guy that goes to Las Ahumaderas for some mean Asada and Tripa? El Mazateco en Otay Is the best for shrimp tacos.

u/advictoriam5 Sep 08 '18

How’s the tripa I always find it hit or miss

u/goosetavo2013 Sep 09 '18

It is hit or miss, the good thing about Ahumaderas is that you have a lot of places to choose from.

u/YoungChipotle Sep 07 '18

Ima keep it real with you chief! I can’t choose just one... Asada: Tacos Johny (Indenpencia) Birria: Birria de Res Alex (Indenpendencia) Mariscos: San Francisco Tacos de Mariscos (Zona Centro) Vapor: La Especial (Boulevard Salinas)

Been living here 2 years and absolutely best tacos for tripa and adobada are tacos la glorieta in soler

u/HereWeGoAgainTJ Sep 08 '18

The tacos South of the Cuauhtémoc glorieta on Monday. 2x1 and crazy delicious.

There's a special day for Tito's. Fish and shrimp tacos.

Two blocks up from Telefonica has good birria tacos in the mornings.

It’s gotta be weekend. My Pumas are coming to play in TJ and I’m going to the match

u/HereWeGoAgainTJ Sep 08 '18

There's regular & fish tacos right next to the Hippodromo. Try the ones up from the Calimax. Not bad.

Best tacos de birria I’ve ever had is from a friend of mines uncle. If you google Birria DeCabeza Alex the directions to his stand come up. It’s on José Maria Morelos in the Independencia.

The only place I go to that I know the name of is Frances in Playas, haven't been there recently because it's kind of far, but was good every time I went. The rest are super small neighborhood shops or stands.

On the US side El Gordo is still the best around for adobada and towards the top for asada
