    Cabeza and Al Pastor Tacos
    Jessica G.

    I have been wanting to try this place out since I always kept seeing it on Main Street (in front of the Santa Ana Zoo). I took a Yelper's suggestion and got the cabeza tacos, which did not disappoint. My boyfriend ordered a torta, which was smaller than we'd thought it would be. Overall, it was a good spot to walk to (with reasonable prices) and grab a quick bite.

    I took a bite before taking the picture. Tacos are $3 but very good meat portions. It wasn't a long wait either.   Ps. Cash only !!!

    Really good tacos and quesadillas ! Overall great service :) Will definitely be back, make sure to carry cash only !!

    Antojitos Hector from the front!!

    Great quality food, decent priced, top 40, great family who cooks in the truck, and worth the wait!! Whenever in Santa Ana I always come to this Hector's truck. Today I ordered tacos al pastor with everything on it. The pastor ( pork meat) is marinated so well. I love it!!!

    Cabeza - best taco ever

    I don't really eat taco, but when I do it will be at this place. They have the best taco in OC. And it's only $1.5. Just don't be scared to park around the area. Nobody's going to give you ticket or tow your car. I have been going to this place the last 2 years. I go at least twice a week. I recommend this place to everybody. Just try it! I promise you you will comeback often!!

    Drove to the address listed but this is a parking lot of food trucks. Where is this place?

    I'm not sure where you went, but it's basically behind the Santa Ana zoo on Main.

While waiting for our food, I noticed how well she handled a busy rush with kindness, patience, and a smile for everyone. She truly works amazingly under pressure and provides exceptional customer service. We'll definitely be back for more tacos and because of Lupita. She is an absolute gem and deserves a raise!

It is next to a gas station. It looks like a pretty popular place during the lunch hour. It's a smaller place inside, but they do have an outdoor patio. We were able to find a small table, not too far from the front counter. Ordering at the front was easy. The staff was friendly and quick. We could see the cook grilling up the meats as we placed our order. There were at least five different salsas to choose from as well as cucumbers and a chili oil at the self-serve salsa bar. I noticed a customer in front of us ordered a kids plate which included two street tacos and rice and beans. That's what I ended up ordering with Carne Asada and chorizo. There were four or five proteins to choose from for the kids plate. I loved the grilled meats with the char flavor. It was delicious! Everything was well seasoned. I wish I would've ordered a third or maybe even a fourth taco because it was that good! I will definitely come back many times and it's going to be on our lunch rotation for sure.

The burrito was solid sized, I was definitely full after eating it. Great seasoned potato wedges inside, tasty egg, and plenty of bacon and sausage. Only thing with the bacon and sausage was that the bacon was actually bacon bits. I'm pretty sure they are pre bagged bacon bits, judging by the extreme salty taste...they overpowered the sausage inside so all I was really getting was bacon bits. There was supposed to be chipotle mayo inside as well, but I don't think mine had it. Or it was also overpowered by the bacon bits. Burrito was grilled on both sides and wrapped up nicely. By the time I got it, it was still super hot. The green and red salsas are also delicious.

It's hard to find a good Taco Tuesday but they do a great job helping the community and keeping the prices $1.50 for basic meats like pollo, asada, and al pastor. I personally love my lengua and this truck has some of the best I've tried! It is a bit pricier but definitely worth it given the taste/quality. A couple things about the condiments--green sauce is spicier than you think, red one is more of a salsa and not that hot. Radishes are unfortunately not very crunchy/juicy at this location so I don't get it as often as I would at other taco spots. If you're ever in a rush, they do phone orders AND DoorDash. I've done all the methods and quality stays up there each time! However, if you do wanna enjoy your tacos right after they're prepared, you can always sit at their tables next to the truck. They have quite a bit of dining space and I've never seen it too crowded to the point of having difficulty finding a spot to sit. In terms of finding the truck, you just need to turn into S Hathaway St. Very close to the train tracks. I park in any free space they have there, since the businesses are usually closed after 5pm (which is when the truck opens).

We never heard it called, though we clearly heard other numbers and saw employees actively delivering food to other tables. After 15 minutes, I went inside to check on our food. Our order was just sitting on the counter. When I checked the tacos, the meat wasn't just lukewarm--it was completely cold to the touch. When I caught the cashier's eye, he just gave me a thumbs-up. When I told him the food was cold, the cashier, Irvin, immediately got defensive and told me with an attitude, 'I called the number twice.' I explained that we didn't hear it, and pointed out that staff had been bringing food out to everyone else anyway. Instead of offering a solution, he doubled down, saying, 'I heard my voice over the speakers,' giving me a 'too bad, so sad' look. When I asked him to remake the food, he completely refused, repeating that he'd called the number. Unwilling to argue with someone that unprofessional, I told him to keep the cold food and just give me a refund. He refunded the money and we left. Absolutely terrible service from Irvin--we won't be back."
