    Carnitas taco
    Alixandrea M.

    Great food! The tortillas are made in house, the salsas are delicious, and the meats are seasoned very nicely. Everything has a lot of flavor! Much better than a lot of Mexican food I have tried in the high desert. The place is always very busy but they get you your food pretty fast. The portions for the mega tacos are huge, if you have a small appetite like me one taco is a whole meal. We will definitely be back.

    First time trying this place. A friend suggested LAS CARNITAS URUAPAN (guess there are 2 locations) Its in the same parking lot as Amazon on Bear Valley. Really good carnita tacos. Meat was soo good and tender. I can eat alot of tacos and im not exaggerating when I say 1 taco here will fill you up. 2 tacos and you'll be stuft. They are MASSIVE! They have a ton of meats to choose from and even offer you a sample of any meat you wanna try first. Place also has a nice salsa bar. Will be coming back soon.

    Finally a taco place like in Los Angeles. great tacos, burritos, tortas for $3.50 all the meat they give you

    I walked in there Sunday for the 1st time ever. It was so full of people waiting to order and waiting for food and also sitting down but the girls working the front were very efficient and pleasantly polite. I liked the way they worked fast and got people out there fast. The food I ordered was delicious and the wait time was not bad at all especially because we ordered a lot of food. I would definitely come back and eat from there again! 10 outta 10!

    Burrito.

    Service wasn't too great. Found big hair on burrito. Don't recommend this place. I called they didn't really do anything about it

    Carnitas Tacos are excellent. Huge overstuffed on grilled homemade corn tortillas!

    Carnitas Tacos are excellent. The meat is "surtido" meaning mixed so you get a little chicharron in it. It is tender and delicious and served on 2 grilled homemade corn tortillas. I've never seen such big, overstuffed tacos in my life! Tastes like real grandma's cooking!

    Birria Torta with all the fixings.

The restaurant is warm, cozy, and full of charm, with a beautiful country-style atmosphere that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The service was exceptional--friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. I ordered the salmon with pesto sauce, and it was perfectly cooked, juicy, and absolutely delicious. It came with a fresh green salad topped with sunflower seeds, flavorful beans, and fresh guacamole. Every part of the meal was excellent. My son loved his burrito, and everyone at our table was happy with what they ordered. We finished with the flan, which was one of the best I've had--smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. Even the coffee was served in a beautiful traditional Mexican ceramic cup, which made the experience feel even more special. You can truly feel the love and care that goes into both the food and the hospitality here. If you're driving between Orange County and Las Vegas, this restaurant is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be coming back on our next trip!

We came here about 3 years ago for my son's birthday, and he insisted on coming back here again for this year's birthday. The waiter was nice and attentive, he didn't have any issues waiting when we needed more time to decide on our order, and he was quick to correct an issue when our food arrived. We never ran out of our drinks, which is a feat in itself with how fast the kids drain theirs! The best part for me was when I showed the waiter a picture of a drink I ordered 3 years ago and the bartender was able to replicate it and tell me what it was so I could order it again. It wasn't on their menu anymore, so it was impressive that he was able to identify it from a picture. Bring back the White wine Sangria, it's delicious! Oh, I also have to mention that when they brought the ice cream out to sing happy birthday, they made sure to include an ice cream for my 5 year old so that she didn't feel left out. I love that they took her into consideration.

The item was actually supposed to be chicken suizas, but we received chicken enchiladas with green sauce. Ironically, my mom liked this first order more than the second one. The shrimp in the shrimp fajitas was seasoned very well and I liked that it was visibly seared/grilled. My mom enjoyed her chicken enchiladas. 2nd order: Shrimp fajitas, but I received fajitas with chicken, shrimp and steak. I made an attempt to eat the steak but it was dry. We ordered chicken suizas and received the actual chicken suizas, which did not have shredded chicken but blocks of chicken. My mom hated this dish and said it made her sick unfortunately. The manager was gracious in correcting the mistakes and gave us some delicious churros, so that helped. The flour tortillas seemed handmade, they were very fluffy. The salsa and chips were good. I enjoyed my fajitas but sadly my mom hated the suizas.

The Tlayuda was very interesting; kind of like a pizza concept but very very thin, black beans, interesting types of meat, guac, cabbage, etc. I didn't like it very much unfortunately as I felt like some of the meat wasn't very good but that's just my opinion. You have to pay to get salsa and chips which most Mexican restaurants give for free, and that wasn't very good either. Authentic but mediocre. Service wise it wasn't the best either, we waited awhile, had to ask for water, she was nice but wasn't the best Inside is pretty small, they have group tables but it's like you sit all in a line. It was interesting, and they of course have a good amount of 4 seaters. Overall although authentic I would say that for price it did not match quality

This was worth the mini heart attack. The cheese was plentiful on top of chorizo. The only problem was they don't give you enough tortillas. No worries, we just used a fork to get it down. I ordered the dish in my photo that I can't remember. At first sight, I was a little disappointed with the thin meat on top but the total plate together was soooo good. The red saice was delicious. I would recommend.
