Went here with a friend who has a home in TJ. He told me the shrimp tacos were the best. I was not disappointed the shrimp tacos were fantastic as was the service. I also got a shrimp cocktail that was good but not the best I have had but still loaded with nice plump quality shrimp. This is the place to go for delicious shrimp tacos. Two big thumbs up from me.

The place had a lot of customers, which usually is a good indicator of the food, but not here. We tried them all; Asada, Adobada, Cabeza, Suadero, Lengua and Tripa. While I am a fan of guac, having my taco de asada smothered in it was new for me (I think it may have been to cover up the tasteless meat). None of the six different types of tacos would top our list as being a go to place in TJ, in fact we will not ever come back here. Tacos Aaron or Tacos El Gordo (a block away) are miles ahead in taste. As we looked around we noticed that Francâs seems to be more of a hang out for the middle class and not so much a place to go for good authentic, flavorful tacos.

Surprisingly good seafood and bomb michelada! I think i've had a michelada one other time and didn't really care much for it somewhere in San Diego. My friends ordered the Lion Fish version and we were hooked. They are huge with great seasoning on the rim and within the drink. We were getting a good sunday funday buzz on!Three of us split the Aguachiles de Camarón Sampler which came with 4 different versions of it. Each flavor was rich and distinct.We all also ordered their Lion Fish specialty dish! It was so flavorful and huge. Honestly after the big sampler all three of us could have shared the plate.I highly recommend this place for a fancy feast.

I do like the concept of all you can eat meat, steak, veal, chicken, etc, the options are plenty but sometimes it take a lot of time to get the cut you want

Nice, upscale restaurant with excellent service. From small appetizers and drinks served while you wait (which was for a lesser amount of time than they said), to nice explanations of the menu, the service here was topnotch. The Cadillac Margarita was especially good and the meal choices were all well-prepared and fresh. All together, a very nice experience. I would definitely go there again.Thank you for your comment, it is very important to us to know our customer´s experience. We are pleased to know that you enjoyed the service, drinks and food. We hope to see you soon.

I'm not joking, this is the best place for tacos ( shrimp, marlin, etc). Don't expect a fancy place because it's not. But it's all worth it

My husband and I had lunch here and were so impressed that the quality of the food and service were still terrific. The seafood is so fresh. We shared a appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. We started with the fish ceviche. It was very fresh and lemony on the palate. It was served with light tostadas, grimes yellow onions, and some spicy salsas. My husband really enjoyed those. We also ordered a mojito and a michelada. The minuto was good but not the mojito everyone knows. The michelada was very refreshing.We had the grilled octopus with garlic shrimp. The octopus was delicious, lightly seasoned and served with a gingery soy sauce. It really did not need it. The shrimp were tender and sweet. To finish the meal, we shared the caramel lava cake with vanilla ice cream. Both very good in a lovely presentation. The coffee I ordered was on the weak side. We will be back. Thank you for your comment, for us it is very important to know your experience. We are really glad to know that you and your husband enjoyed our food, service, drinks and dessert. We hope to see you soon so you can enjoy our fresh seafood.
