This is the best taco shop in the World and possibly Mexico since it originated in TJ . I am hooked on the tacos de lengua (tongue) and Adobada (spicy pork). They are simply the best ever.

This place is the best taco shop in San Diego (if you don't count the other locations). It is great to walk up to the different stations and order up some tacos. You grab a tray make your way down...

If you cross an In N Out restaurant with very affordable authentic Mexican tacos, then the result is Tacos El Gordo. This place specializes on tacos and they do it well. Authentic tacos are soft...

There is no better taco shop in Chula Vista than this one. Overlook the lack of sanitary standards and just enjoy the food. Tacos de Adobada are fantastic with the spit-roasted cut-to-order meat....

These are the real deal. They're just like the street meat tacos you get in Mexico....it's a little sketchy driving/walking up to this place, but once you get there, you realize that it's all worth it.

Here's how it works. You stand in the middle of the restaurant. You go to the sign that says "Order Here." You tell them what you want. The lady in the middle hands the man behind the counter a...

You don't even know how excited I was to find out that Tacos El Gordo was now available north of the border. These are what tacos are all about. I remember as a child that no trip to TJ was complete...
