San Diego's proximity to Tijuana means the taco game is strong. From legendary fish tacos to carne asada perfection, plus SD inventions like the California burrito and carne asada fries.

Tijuana's best, now in San Diego. The adobada and suadero are perfect.

The carne asada fries are San Diego essential. Massive portions.
