Stay away from Tacos Aaron! Not only are they rude, but you will likely starve trying to get some food from them. This review covers two different days of failed dining experiences. We heard about this place on Unilocal while visiting the Playas neighborhood in Tijuana, and despite the fact that we consider food trucks a bit of a risk, we decided to check it out after reading a few strong reviews. The first day we tried this place out, we got there just after 2PM. We walked up, friendly as ever, and greeting everyone politely. No one so much as mumbled a response. Very rude, but these are all a bunch of young guys, and we figured the boss was away and decided not to hold it against them. Most of the shops and restaurants in this neighborhood are friendly and professional, so we guessed that we would find the same here. We were wrong. A moment later we were nearly knocked over by a soccer ball while standing at the truck trying to figure out how to place an order. The Tacos Aaron employees nearly hit us several times with their little street soccer game. After a couple of minutes, I decided to get someone’s attention and offered a «perdon?» Rudely, one of the Tacos Aaron employees answered that they were closed, before ignoring me again. Again, I just assumed they were anxious to get back to their soccer game and didn’t hold it against them. I asked when they closed, and the same rude guy(at least he responded — the others continued to pretend we weren’t there or tried to knock us over with their soccer game), said they were open till 2PM. We were staying nearby, so we headed back over on another day around 1:20PM. Again, we walked up with smiling faces and greeted everyone. We got no response. In fact, everyone rudely looked through us, and pretended we weren’t there. One young man gave a rude smirk and turned in the other direction, showing us his back. The truck was definitely open, and the food preparations and tables with umbrellas were still out, but no one rose to take our order. We studied the menu for a moment, but were starting to get the impression that they were actually being purposefully discourteous and dismissive. Also, the young men working for Tacos Aaron were sitting near the food area, counting money, which isn’t sanitary. We wondered if they have clean food practices. We were about to leave, but I decided to at least ask a few questions about the menu. I again ventured a «perdon?» The same rude speaker yelled«finished» and made a «cutting» gesture across his throat. I can’t really describe the high level of rudeness and negative response we got from this business. They actually went out of their way and mad an extra effort to be rude. It’s a very bad example of businesses in this area, which are generally pleasant and professional. I’m guessing these young men hate Americans, are racists, hate tourists, are chronically rude, or some very unsightly combination of all of these. Don’t waste your money here — there are delicious places to eat all over Playas and throughout Tijuana. It’s a win-win: You can avoid horrible service, and they can get to their soccer games and money counting.

One of the food trucks that offers a wide variety of tacos. These are not your typical«carne asada» tacos, the idea is to get tacos that you would get from grandma. They even have«chorizo espanol» and the filled peppers tacos are a must. The fried tacos(Dorado’s) are always a good call. The downside is that they are not cheap by Mexican standard.

Best breakfast tacos in Playas by far ;) totally recommend it… They’re served really fast and the Birria and Fish Tacos are the best!

This is the best Food Truck in Tijuana, hands down. I remembered on weekends going to the store across the street and noticing this food truck 10 to 15 years ago just wondering what the hype was about… Until I put the glorious fried birria taco with Chicharron and my mouth exploded with joy!!! Now this place gets packed and you can easily see cars parked even in the middle of the street just to eat their tacos of many Mexican guisados. Now weird/cool thing about this is that I’ve taken many people from San Diego this tacos and they all get overwhelmed with the different types of tacos they have, most people are expecting carne Asada or chicken but Nooooo you have to try the different things they have like Chile Relleno, Huevo, Chicharron, Birria, Milanesa, Puerco etc and they all use the honor system, so you just stand in front and tell them you want a taco of whatever then once you’re done ask for more tacos then if you’re finished then move towards the driver of the truck and tell him what you had and pay the man, Honor system, your word! Cray cray!!! Parking is hell but trust me it’s worth looking.

Tacos Aaron Vivir en Tijuana y no conocer los foodtruck’s de los Tacos Aaron es como no vivir en Tijuana. Conocí estos tacos porque me llamó la atención un local móvil tipo foodtruck que se estacionaba cerca de mi casa y siempre parecía que regalaban algo porque todo el tiempo estaba completamente lleno de gente. Cuando por fin me dí la oportunidad de conocerlos me lleve una muy buena impresión por el giro que tenía el negocio. Los tacos Aaron son varios foodtruck’s que se estacionan en sitios conocidos de Tijuana. En especial conozco el foodtruck que se estaciona en Playas de Tijuana porque es el lugar donde vivo. En este food truck tienes que probar el taco de birria y el taco de guisado de chicharrón en salsa verde que es simplemente ¡exquisito! aun así, no pierdas oportunidad de probar los otros guisos que ofrecen. No dejes de visitarlo y no te vayas con la finta, a pesar de que siempre están llenos de gente, el personal siempre te atiende en poco tiempo; además, el lugar está muy cuidado y limpio. Si tienes resaca, este es el lugar para volver a la vida. ¡Ah!, otra cosa, puedes contratarlos para un evento social, o si vas muy a las carreras, puedes optar por del Drive thru.
