Famed Tacos El Franc Now in National City
Tijuana's popular tacos have gone international. Tacos El Franc, the famed Tijuana taquería long revered for its high-heat asada and high-stand salsas, has expanded by opening its first U.S. location inside Westfield Plaza Bonita in National City.
Known for drawing daily crowds in TJ since 1974, El Franc isn’t trying to reinvent anything—just share its fire-kissed flavors stateside. The new spot is led by Roberto Kelly and Salvador Lombroso, who are determined to preserve the taquería’s soul: sizzling carne, tortillas flipped in rhythm, and a no-fuss menu served hot behind a steel counter.
Think: tacos, adobada, charred edges, and a tang of lime. “We didn’t want to water it down,” says Kelly. “This is our pride, and we’re bringing it to the same people who cross the border for it every weekend.”
Expect the same recipes that earned it praise from the Michelin Guide only now, it's a lot closer to home.
