Overview

San Diego Magazine placed Tacos Machatlán first in its guide to Tijuana's taco shops, based on recommendations from local food guide Angel Miron. The stand works a crowded corner in El Centro, the city's downtown, and focuses on seafood.

Its core items are fried fish and fried shrimp tacos. The specialty singled out by the magazine is the smoked marlin taco, which is grilled over the coals and served on a tortilla that takes on the smoke of the grill. Smoked marlin is a classic of Mexico's Pacific coast, where it is often stewed with vegetables and chile and used as a taco filling.

Context

Machatlán is part of downtown Tijuana's dense street food scene alongside adobada, carne asada and birria stands.
