Taquería La Principal

The Best Restaurants in Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico | Eater San Diego

"If you’re seeking genuine Baja-style tacos, head to this open-air taqueria at the edge of the Francisco Zarco pueblo for solid versions of popular roasted meats. Options include carne asada, vertical spit-roasted adobada (the regional name for al pastor), and crispy chitterlings, all served on corn tortillas with mild red salsa and a huge dollop of creamy guacamole. Along with tacos, there are also quesatacos, mulitas, tortas, and quesatortas." - Bill Esparza

"Situated in a warehouse space with plastic furniture, this quintessential no-frills roadside taqueria doesn’t get a lot of points for ambience, but happily the simple, satisfying fare speaks for itself. The compact menu doesn’t call for extensive decision-making: diners choose between three meats (thinly sliced beef asada, spice-marinated pork adobada, and, for the more adventurous, tender tripa), and their vehicle of choice (corn or flour tortilla, burrito, torta, etc.) and then watch the magic come together before their eyes. Lively, well-balanced salsas and perfectly fresh toppings combine with flavorful grill-kissed meats for love at first bite, and the late nighttime hours of operation might be a lifesaver after a busy day of wine tasting." - Michelin Inspector
