March 31st marks International Taco Day, a celebration of Mexico’s most iconic dish. And when it comes to tacos, there’s no better place than Tijuana.
One of the city’s most famous taquerías, Tacos El Franc, has been named the world’s best place for tacos al pastor by TasteAtlas, a renowned global food platform. Located on Blvd. Sánchez Taboada, this taquería won the title based on reviews from 19 food experts.
“Tacos El Franc is the ultimate late-night taco destination. They serve delicious grilled carne asada tacos and mulitas (essentially taco sandwiches), but the real reason to come here is the adobada. Tacos El Franc makes a juicy, flavorful adobada—the perfect craving for taco lovers,” said Bill Esparza, one of the culinary critics.
In 2024, the taquería received a Michelin Plate, further establishing its reputation as one of the world’s best taco spots.
It is also the only Baja California establishment to make TasteAtlas’ Top 10 list of The Best Tacos al Pastor in the World. Other featured cities include:
- Mexico City
- Tulum
- Playa del Carmen
- Puerto Vallarta
Beyond expert praise, Tacos El Franc is a favorite among locals and visitors alike, with long lines forming daily.
So why not celebrate International Taco Day in the best way possible? Visit El Franc or your favorite taquería and savor one of Mexico’s greatest culinary treasures.
