Tacos start around 60–80 MXN at Taco Grill in TIJ
Taco Grill sits airside in the Main Terminal at General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport, an easy option if your Volaris or Aeroméxico flight leaves from the central gates. You order at the counter, pay first, and listen for your number; food usually comes out in under 10–15 minutes, which works on a 60–90 minute layover.
The menu leans hard on tacos and quesadillas, with most single tacos in the 60–80 MXN range and larger combo plates pushing 150–200 MXN. Expect the usual fillings: carne asada, al pastor, chicken, and sometimes chorizo, all on small corn tortillas. Portions run airport-medium: three tacos and a soft drink (about 40–50 MXN) will fill most people without feeling heavy before a flight.
Quality sits a notch above the average US airport chain but below what you get for the same 80 MXN on the street in central Tijuana. Meats can run a bit salty, and tortillas cool fast under the terminal AC, so eat as soon as your order hits the tray. Salsas come in squeeze bottles at the counter; the green usually lands milder than the red, which can spike a bit if you overdo it.
Service style is quick and transactional, which matches late-evening banked departures that often leave TIJ between 20:00 and 23:00. Staff handle both cash and cards in pesos, and many will also take US dollars at a rough rate that rarely beats an ATM in the CBX terminal. Seating is shared food-court style, so expect to hunt a table if three or more flights board at the neighboring gates.
Tip: if your flight departs from the CBX side, eat here in the Main Terminal after clearing outbound immigration, then walk the 5–10 minutes to the CBX gates instead of relying on the smaller options near the bridge.
