What our guests are saying

Fast paced, high quality, and excellent service. The servers are running around but never leaving you hanging. My girlfriend ordered the carne asada quesadilla and made it disappear, so I know she loved it. I got the carne asada fries and lemme tell ya that these fries are fried to yumyum levels of crunch.

Tacos El Franc is a welcoming environment; you feel like you belong there. The ladies are super nice to you, and of course, the tacos are good. They have a very good culture of tacos, coming from Tijuana. Even the taqueros are saying hi to you. Address 3030 Plaza Bonita Rd, Space 1108, National City, CA 91950 The shop has an open space, so you can see what they're actually cooking. And I also love Citrina Berry Fresh. They have the most amazing sandwiches and side bowls. This is a family-owned business, and they have super healthy options like their mushroom sandwich, for example, and they have a portobello sandwich that my kids say is good.
