Ever since I got my driver's license, I have been constantly going here every other week because I have been craving their food. I always order the asada burrito with extra beans and the price definitely matches the portions unlike Chipotle. They also give you chips for free, plus there's a salsa bar. This place always fills the burritos and makes it packed. After eating, the food makes me full and really satisfied in a good way unlike other places. I always try to recommend this place to my friends and people I know, this place is really underrated!

5 STARSSSSS FOR A RESTAURANT MAKING AN AFFORDABLE WHITE MEAT CHICKEN BREAST BURRITO!!!!…read more I'm particular, but I've been on the hunt to find somewhere close to where I live and work that offers a good-tasting, high-quality white meat chicken breast burrito that doesn't cost $16-20+ and I have FINALLY found it here at LA Tia Tacos! For $10.75 you actually get a good-sized white meat chicken breast burrito, with rice, beans, onions, cilantro fillings AND they give you some chips AND they have an open salsa bar with condiments on the side! I could not be happier to finally find a spot to replace my previous favorite (Sharky's) which has been long gone from OC and is now only in LA unfortunately. I know why restaurants use cheap, poor quality dark meat but I don't know why people prefer dark meat over white meat. It's gross and does not taste any better and you get gross gooey bits. LA Tia uses clean, marinated, high quality chicken breast and it will make me a recurring customer! I've already been coming each week and as long as everything stays consistent, I will be a longtime customer. My only small critique, although not a complaint, is that it would be nice if theh could add a few more chips to their meals. Sometimes they are a bit sparse and it would be nice to get some more. Now let's compare this with the overrated and over hyped Crapotle. Here at La Tia, you get better quality meat, free chips and a salsa bar that actually has good tasting salsa varieties to choose from, whereas at Crapotle, you get cheaper, low quality dark meat gross chicken and you have to PAY extra for chips and salsa on the side and their salsa choices suck anyways. Altogether, you would pay more at Crapotle for less quality. If you're a real chicken lover who understands and appreciates the white meat superiority, this is the spot you should go to! For under $11 you will not be disappointed! I'll be back again this week to get my burrito fix!

Very friendly and the staff were basically moving like Spider-Man around the tables. The food was excellent and very fresh and tasty. It was so good that we came back the next day for the Sunday brunch! We really loved the fish tacos, which were out of this world. Neck and neck with that are the Chihuahua tacos where the meat was tender, and the cheese was charred into the tortilla to give it a very wonderful flavor,, kinda like Iron Man blasted it himself to get that crust. We also tried the Carnitas tacos and a couple of others, which are also very tasty. This Sunday brunch was lovely and our favorite was the steak ranchero and the ceviche, as well as the corn cake. But basically the whole buffet was excellent,, felt like an actual feast in Asgard. We had a Diablo margarita and that was excellent! definitely hit with a kick like the Hulk tbh. One of the two days we sat outdoors, and it was lovely with plenty of space. The second day we had a nice booth and there was plenty of space and seating was very comfortable. basically as chill as hanging at the Avengers compound. Definitely five stars!

What a great local, casual Mexican spot! After living in San Diego for several years, my standards…read morefor Mexican food are quite high, so it's been difficult to find a place in Orange County that compares until I found Cuca's. My husband and I have visited a few times now, and the food has been consistently excellent. We've tried a variety of items, including their tacos, Carne Asada burritos, and taquitos; everything has been fresh and high-quality. The shrimp taco salad is my new favorite- it's delicious and incredibly fresh. Between the great guacamole, fresh salsas, and consistently friendly service, this place always delivers. We are so happy to have found such a reliable local gem!

Cuca's falls squarely in the middle of the pack. It's not bad by any means, but it doesn't quite…read morestand out either. I ordered the two-item combo with rice and beans and went with the shredded beef hard shell tacos. The tacos actually had good flavor, and they were generous with both the meat and cheese. The rice and beans came in solid portions and tasted good as well, so that part of the meal was satisfying. My wife ordered the chile verde burrito chimichanga style, and that's where the experience dropped off a bit. The pork had very little flavor and, considering it's supposed to be simmered in chile verde sauce, it was surprisingly dry. Service was good. We went on a Friday night and the place was fairly busy with a mix of dine-in and takeout orders, but everything moved along smoothly. They also have a solid salsa selection, and the green jalapeño sauce in particular stood out. Overall, it's a decent neighborhood Mexican spot if you're looking for a quick meal, but nothing that really sets it apart from the many other options in the area.

Received outstanding service from Mr. G (I think). He suggested that I try all 5 salsas, and I especially enjoyed the jalapeno relish. All of the staff are very friendly and accommodating, and I appreciate how much they value your experience. The store is located in a small strip mall off El Toro; parking is a little tight but seems able to accommodate any customers stopping by. The interior is pleasantly neat and clean, light wood interiors with a mix of faux and genuine plants. Would certainly return for the good food and kind service.

Aside from us, 5+ groups piled in for pickup after us. The worker kept insisting they've already started prepping the meal, once at 6:15, then at 6:30. Yet when we FINALLY received our food at 6:48pm, the food was hot. So all in all, we waited a ridiculously long time (almost an hour more than estimated) + had staff lying to our faces about progress and how much longer to wait... I dont know if their food is good, but their kitchen and staff are certainly not ready for service. For faster *and honest* service, there are plenty of other Chinese places like Mimi Garden and Classic Chinese in the area.

Asian burritos are a trendy dish that honestly not enough places do, where you basically have to go all the way to Pasadena for the Panda Innovation Kitchen or Disney California Adventures offers one variety that rotates seasonally. What you get here is the classic Chinese lunch options like pepper beef or chicken and fried rice, wrapped in the convenient form of a burrito to make a very filling meal. Their sauces are also delicious, one that's a green sauce and one that's like a sweet and sour for a delicious flavor combination. Online order makes it convenient, but I will say I wish I could customize ingredients. They didn't list that there's avocado in it, which I'm not a fan of in general but also don't find it fits the flavor profile though I'm sure most people like it. It's only a few pieces and easy to navigate around. If you're looking for a new spin on the Chinese lunch special, head into New Shanghai to try their new menu with Anna's Kitchen! TIP: You can online order and they make it pretty fast.

Great prices, service, and even better portion sizes! We ordered online and picked up in store. We ordered the steak sunny up breakfast burrito and the strawberry & cream pancakes. They do not skimp out here! I wish I remembered to take a photo of the burrito size before we cut it in half. I think it was the length of my forearm? We forgot to ask for a side of salsa but it wasn't really needed, the burrito was not dry because of all the cheese, guac, sour cream, and pico de gallo. My husband can typically finish his own burrito but this thing was huge and we ended up halving it! I also like how there was not an upcharge for steak like some places have. The strawberries and cream pancakes were thick and fluffy! It came in a stack of 3. Aside from the fruit slices on top of the pancakes, they also fill each layer with fruit before placing the next pancake on top. I may just use excessive amounts of syrup so I'll need to ask for extra next time but they give a generous portion of the purple white blueberry cream. For ~$27, we got full off our burrito halves and still have more than half the pancake order left for later. Seriously such a great find and can't wait to try out more items from Sunny Up! Definitely worth a visit.

We got the burrito and the chilaquiles and both were amazing (totally recommend it) and while we waited for our food we got beans and hot chips! On top of that service was fast and there was no line!! I'll go back for sure!

They have lots of food to choose from but we stuck with the traditional combo plate : Cheese enchilada and carnitas taco - mine was a crunchy and hers was soft taco ( both were delicious). I also ordered a delicious blended strawberry margarita and it didn't disappoint. Our servers were : Enrique and Alfonso both were great . They brought us extra bean mixture dip for the chips as their dips and chips are AMAZING as is their food . If you haven't tried this place, you must try this place as not only is the food great , the people that work here are really amazing and that made our time here even better . We checked their hours and found they are open ALL DAY something like 8AM for breakfast -10 PM like what ??? Not everyday but most days , this isn't fast food either ... You have to try this place and for those who want to eat inside it's nice inside or sit at their bar or sit outside at the really big outdoor eating area , you can't go wrong ...

Xclusive Mexican Kitchen seemed pretty promising - I like how they had Taco Tuesday so I came by to…read moregive it a try. The menu was pretty interesting, lots of variety. I will say - the ambiance is pretty cool - there are a lot of different liquors along the walls. ITEMS I TRIED - Taco Sampler: my husband got al pastor, steak, and carnitas. I got chicken and al pastor. I personally liked chicken the best because the other meats were a bit too salty for me. The meat however was just okay, didn't really taste too authentic personally. PARKING: pretty easy as it is in a plaza SERVICE: it was somewhat slow, and they charged us more despite it being taco Tuesday, it was about $10 more on the receipt. However, they did promptly take care of it once we asked about it. PRICE: for 3 tacos, you got it for $11 with the corrected price which was a decent deal. Overall, I think it was solid but I won't be craving this spot or suggesting it to others!

Casita's is fairly new and the reviews are already pretty good so with my little son in tow, we stopped by. And as I was enjoying my cheese enchiladas, I was glad I did. The food was great. Their beans and rice were very good. My son ate the chips and guacamole and a chicken taco. All of it was delicious. I'd say the guacamole was a little under seasoned but you could tell it was just made. The avocado was chunky and firm. Also worth mentioning is their salsa bar. I love places that have a nice salsa bar. The heat level was a little low for me but the flavor was definitely there. My complaints are the same as usual. No fountain drinks and portions are a tad small. If they had Diet Coke and received just a little more of the beans and rice, I'd say this place was near perfect. I am most certainly coming back to try their chicken burrito.
