We were thinking of crossing the border to get some authentic tacos but while we talked a local told us about Tacos el Franc. We were skeptic because we had tried tacos el Gordo the day prior and they were not good. But we gave it a try and boy did they taste good. The guac, the homemade tortillas, the suadero.
So good. The environment is clean and there is a lot of space. Would def return

Amazing tacos! So fresh and delicious. Not a bad price for good quality too. I highly recommend coming here. The staff are so fun and friendly as well! Hard to find both these days. ❤
Excellent

Tacos El Franc is an amazing Tijuana-style taco spot in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter. The atmosphere is awesome, with good music and delicious aromas. The food is delicious, though some note the tacos feel a bit expensive for downtown. The tacos are amazing with perfect flavor and the right heat. Specific recommendations include the adobada (al pastor) taco, which is a must-try, along with the suadero, cabeza, and lengua tacos, all described as bomb or especially good. The adobada quesadilla is also ordered. The orange salsa, believed to be habanero, is noted as extremely hot and not for the weak of heart. Drinks like horchata or Jamaica are recommended to accompany the meal. Service is great and the lively Gaslamp location adds to the good vibes. While some expectations about guacamole sauce differed, the tacos themselves are solid and the experience is good, with many customers planning to return to try more of the menu.
