"Be sure to try some of delicious tacos—called adobada tacos in Tacos el Franc."

Joshua Lurie

"The adobada taco features a grease-griddled corn tortilla, shawarma-like pork shavings, a spicy chile-rich salsa, diced onions, cilantro and cooling guacamole. Getting your taco “con todo” pretty much drowns out the flavor of the spice-soaked pork, but it makes for a fairly well balanced taco experience."

Bill Esparza

"Tacos Franc is the late night taco hit for the locals. They serve fine grilled meat tacos, mulitas (like a taco sandwich), but the adobada is the reason to come here. Tacos Franc makes a succulent adobada, the perfect late night jam for the taco virtuoso."

Sarah Bennett

"Tacos el Franc may specialize in the more traditional Tijuana variety of the dish (and feature meat most Angelenos associate with Mexican street food), but they prove that even as culinary advances swirl around them, there will always be room for the best adobada in town."

Sarah Bennett

"There will always be room for the best carne asada in town."

Evan Kleiman

"Tacos Franc is famous for their Adobada which is cooked on a Trompo like pastor. As I licked the last bit of sauce off my fingers I was ready for my bed."

Bill Addison

"Among other tacos covered in soupy stewed offal, the punchy adobada lived up to its billing."

Dave Lieberman

"If bacon is the gateway drug for vegetarians, carne adobada is the next step toward porcine bliss. There's no distracting sweet pineapple here; it's all pork and capsaicin cooled by avocado."

Jackie Bryant
