Authentic Tijuana Tacos in National City

We used to go to Tijuana for these tacos, and they taste exactly the same, the carrots were also delicious, I hope they can open a restaurant in Texas! The service was great and friendly, we’ll be back.

I liked the homey feel of the restaurant. It's colorful and has some nice pictures of their original location in Tijuana. The chips are casero-style, not stale. I didn't ask but they seemed made in house. I ordered the three tacos al vapor combo with beans and rice. I tried one of each and they're super good. I had to take some to go because they're served with plenty of filling. My husband ordered the California burrito and it was good. The chips came with carrots and salsa, and I also put those on my tacos. We'll definitely go back.

Came in to try the chilaquiles and some tacos vapor and was very happy. Ordered the chilaquiles de chipotle and chilaquiles rojos (red sauce). Both were good but my favorite was the red just filled with flavor and for a really good price. Cafe de la olla and jamaica was also very good as well. I tried all three of the tacos de vapor and my least favorite was the chicharon but the cheese with bean and carne was tasty. Customer service was good and I’ll definitely eat here again.
