Tacos El Franc, one of Tijuana’s most iconic and acclaimed taquerias, is opening second U.S. location in San Diego’s historic Gaslamp Quarter on Oct. 8, 2025. This new location follows the Baja-born brand’s first U.S. location at Westfield Plaza Bonita. While the Plaza Bonita location emulates the Tijuana original with table service dining, the Gaslamp Quarter location will offer a quicker, counter service, catering to on-the-go and late-night diners. Taqueros will work on charcoal grills to ensure steaks can be cooked in the traditional style – over mesquite – and the kitchen team will work in a brigade system, with individual taqueros manning the disco, steamer, and trompo. The new location will serve up staples like tacos de adobada, asada, cabeza, suadero, and tripa, plus 32oz Caguamas and Tacos El Franc USA’s signature San Diego-inspired menu item: beef tallow fries served with a variety of proteins. Tacos El Franc Gaslamp Quarter will open to the public at 4 p.m. on Oct. 8, 2025, and is located at 528 5th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101.

During these divided times, many people believe that open dialogue and discourse are the only tools to mend a wounded nation. Comedians Hasan Minhaj and Ronny Chieng believe the opposite. The format? A DEBATE TO THE DEATH. Imagine CNN’s Presidential Townhall that’s somehow more demented and with less decorum. This will be a race to the bottom. Minhaj and Chieng will face off about America’s most urgent issues: Presidents, War, the Economy, Immigration, Infrastructure, Food, Dating, Family Values, and of course, the impending Race War. This is not a call for peace. It’s a call for pettiness. Are you in?  Please note: This is a rental event of Jacobs Music Center, presented by Nederlander Concerts. The San Diego Symphony Orchestra does not appear on this program.
