" Delicious tacos that hit the spot every time! I love how inexpensive they are, making it easy to grab a few without feeling guilty about spending too much. The freshness and flavors are commendable, especially for being a street vendor. I felt welcomed as I watched my tacos being prepared before my eyes. Although there are no places to sit down, it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the food. I left feeling satisfied, and can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos Johnny never disappoints! The incredibly authentic flavors and generous portions make it one of Tijuana's best-kept secrets. I can go there any day of the week and find something new to try. Their adobada tacos are exceptional. However, the spot does get quite packed, especially on weekends, so get there early if you want to grab a seat. The only tweak I would love is if they offered more sauces or toppings, but it's still my favorite taco spot for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve heard mixed reviews about Tacos Johnny but personally, I think they're doing absolutely fine for being a taco street stand. The quality and taste exceeded my expectations. I had the carne asada and adobada tacos, and I could taste that they use fresh ingredients. Unfortunately, the stand can get a bit busy, and finding a spot to eat can be tricky, but take it to go, and you’re good! It's definitely worth trying if you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to agree with all the five-star reviews here. Tacos Johnny does street tacos the right way! The vibrant flavors and tender meats are unforgettable. It's clear they prioritize quality, and the homemade tortillas elevate each taco to the next level. While the seating situation is pretty basic, the friendly vibe and mouthwatering smells more than make up for it. Go early to avoid long lines, and immerse yourself in an authentic Tijuana taco experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Just wow! Why didn't I discover Tacos Johnny sooner? It's got the real deal when it comes to street tacos! The aroma as you approach pulls you in. I could taste the freshness in every component of my tacos. I went for the mix - asada, adobada, and the chorizo, and I was not disappointed! Everything is made and served with love. My only critique is the absence of proper seating which meant it was hard to enjoy the tacos at a leisurely pace, but when the flavors are this good, you won't mind standing! " (*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*)
