" Honestly, Tacos Johnny has some incredible flavors! I brought my family here, and they too were blown away by the authenticity displayed in each taco. We sampled a little bit of everything they had and we enjoyed every single bite. The tacos are overflowing with goodness! We didn’t mind standing for a meal as it gave a great chance to experience the true essence of taco culture. Can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos Johnny proves that you don’t need fine dining to get amazing food. The tacos here remind me of family gatherings back in Mexico. I had the delicious tripa tacos on my last visit and they were some of the best I’ve had around! There are times when it’s packed, so I recommend visiting during less busy hours. You won't regret trying their tacos—they're unbeatable in flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally tried Tacos Johnny after hearing rave reviews, and I have to say, it didn't disappoint! I loved how cozy it felt walking up to the stand—it has all the vibes of a true taco lover's spot. The different flavors we tried were fantastic! I particularly loved the carne asada tacos, they were juicy and full of flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Tacos Johnny, and I was blown away! I took a friend who casually enjoys tacos, and he was also surprised by the bold flavors and freshness. We tried a variety of tacos, and each had its unique spin, especially the adobada. The only downside is the standing space—I'd love a table to sit comfortably and enjoy my food. Regardless, the warmth of the tacos and the lively environment will keep us coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Tacos Johnny, and I was extremely impressed! The stand has the traditional look of a taco cart and the smell was enticing. I tried a mixed platter of different tacos and they have such a variety! Every taco had something special to offer, no two were alike! The prices are super affordable, and I did not feel rushed as the service was pretty laid back. The only downside was that it got crowded inside the stand but it's honestly worth it! You won't find better tacos elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't express how much I love Tacos Johnny! The location is a bit tricky to find, but once you get there, you'll realize it's worth it. I highly recommend the adobada tacos. At the same time, the atmosphere is lively, filled with locals and tourists alike grabbing some delicious bites. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos Johnny has been my go-to spot since I discovered it last summer while exploring Tijuana. Each time I'm there, I try to sample different tacos. The al pastor is my absolute favorite, but the chorizo is a close second. The flavor profile is so rich and satisfying! I appreciate how affordable they are too, especially considering how generously filled they are. The only downside is that you have to eat standing up, but that's to be expected at a taco stand. Just grab a few tacos and enjoy the street ambiance! " (*Curated Review*)
