Omg! I was blown away at Tacos De Birria Estilo Guadalajara! First, location is close,…read moreconvenient, and very clean. I've driven by here so many times, I assumed they didn't have any options for me to eat. However, to my delight, they have Veggie Tacos (no cheese please!). I ordered the Two Taco Combo with rice and beans, my son ordered 2 Tacos de Asada, and my boyfriend ordered the Birria Platter. We all loved our delicious meals! The service was very friendly, attentive, and prompt to pick up our empty plates (without being pushy for us to leave). We will definitely be coming back soon!

This was my first visit and I absolutely LOVED my lunch of a Taco de Birria with rice and beans…read more The beans were perfection and the best Birria Taco I've had! Compliments to the chef. This restaurant is quite small and you order your food at the counter. Your food is brought to your table which is nice. Everything looked clean and the employee was very nice. This is a wonderful place to grab a bite to eat and I will recommend it to my friends. Give it a try!

Always a good meal at Lupe's. Had family in town and came here for a delicious easy meal…read more Service is always good. We took a really long time to order and the cashier was really patience.

My boyfriend and I loved the Lupe's in Dana Point and we wanted to go to a closer location. We…read moreordered 4 birria tacos with consome ($14 for 2 tacos, $28 total). However, the tacos lacked flavor and the consome was lukewarm. We were really disappointed because we came in with such high expectations from the other location. Service was pretty mid--we weren't welcomed upon entrance and the staff member was preoccupied with another task while taking our order. We sat at the tables outside and the area was pretty clean. Sadly, we will not be coming back to this location. Go to the Lupe's in Dana Point for better food/experience!

Best Mexican dining in the county! Absolutely love the complimentary chips, dip and salsa verde…read more But the carnitas relleno & chicken enchilada verde with Mexican corn (off the cob) are the bomb! Not to mention the cilantro cucumber margaritas!! Yummmm Don't waste your time on any other Mexican restaurant! Calo's is worth going out of your way!!!

I have been to Calo 20+ times since it has opened. Our visit last night was the worst experience…read morewe've ever had there, it may be one of our last. First, the service/experience has slipped severely. The quality of Calo was personable, quick, high-touch hospitality, and near constant attention. Last night the servers were forgetful, impersonal, and terribly slow. Food came out at various times when it used to come out at once. When asked for sides of sauces at the time of ordering, they didn't come out, and then took 10 more minutes to bring out sauces and sour cream. Food was cold by the time they got back to us. There was absolutely no apology or recognition of how the service was poor. When ordering the steak tacos medium rare, the steak was well-done. The fajitas plate has shrunk considerably. All food prices have gone up about 10% in the last few months and service has gone down. This was a go-to place for us, but with very poor service and food quality going down, management/ownership needs to regroup and fix this asap to not lose customers. See more recent reviews as this is a current problem.

We started with margaritas and chips, salsa and guacamole. The ambiance was chill and it was a nice cool evening. My wife had the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas, rice and beans and I had the Carne asada with a chicken enchilada, rice and beans. The food was great and the service was stellar. The other staff members were also helpful in clearing dishes and providing containers for our left overs. Yes, tomorrow's lunch. Great place, food and people. Highly recommended

Came here for dinner on Friday night and have to say, I'll definitely be coming back!…read more The complimentary chips and salsa were superb. The chips were super crispy and light, and you can tell they're fresh. The salsa was well-seasoned with a nice kick. I ordered the carnitas plate, and it really hit the spot. The Spanish rice was some of the most flavorful I've had was super well-seasoned. The beans were good and complemented the rest of the plate nicely. The tortillas were fresh, soft, and tasty. The carnitas had great overall flavor and came in a huge portion. My only complaint was that there was a lot of lean meat, so some parts were a little dry. Overall, I really enjoyed the meal and will definitely be back to try some of the other things on the menu!

We love El Ranchito, but the one at this La Paz location did not measure up…read more One of our favorite things to order at El Ranchito is the Table Side Guacamole which is the BEST guacamole one can get anywhere. But this location does NOT have this on their menu which actually stunned all four of us sitting at the table. This is one of the main reasons we frequent the Avila's chain and needless to say, this was very disappointing. Because they did not have the table side guac, we had to settle for the premade stuff which was bland and tasted nowhere near as flavorful as the Table Side Guacamole we have had at every other Avila's El Ranchito we have frequented throughout Orange County. This location did have a low carb fajitas option which was interesting. It did NOT come on a sizzling skillet like the regular dish, and the beans were whole (not refried). Instead of rice, they give you salad. I did not love the dressing for the salad btw. I am glad they have this low carb option, but it is significantly different from the normal Sizzling Fajitas version which they do offer here. Service was decent. And we loved their large outdoor seating area covered by shade trees.

Always friendly service, the best hours, and great food…read more Good salsa bar where most of the salsas have a good kick and there's good variety too. The California burrito is excellent. Everything comes out hot and fresh similar to any of the other "ertos" type Mexican spots. The location is sort of hidden in an awful little shopping center but adds to the mystique of the place.

However I give it 5 stars because the food is amazing. We had the barbacoa plate with fresh, hand made tortillas and a torta called pambazo. They have different levels of spice for salsa. The most important part is the taste. The barbacoa is presented quite simple but makes it up in flavor . This is the closest thing to real Mexican food. I highly recommend the food. To close the food was so good that after eating we order a taco of cachete in hand made tortillas. You have to try it and if you like spicy food ask for the spicy salsa. It is hot and delicious.

Stumbled upon this Restaurant, after my dental appointment! I decided to check this place out, and…read moreI wasn't disappointed! I tried their grilled chicken monster burrito, and it certainly was monster sized!!! Tender chicken and juicy with rice, and salsa! It was delicious! I also had their cucumber mint fresco drink, and it was so refreshing and flavorful! Most definitely, the burrito was plentiful! Excellent customer service, I felt valued and appreciated! Smallish restaurant with a few tables inside and outside, and the decor was super cute! I consider this place to be a great hidden gem with fantastic food! What a fantastic discovery!!! Highly recommended. Can't wait to return!

I also got a horchata to drink. We did have to wait a bit for our food, but it was worth the wait. When we got home we dug in. My horchata was sweet and I kinda wish they added a little bit of cinnamon. I had a bite of my boyfriend's carne asada burrito and it was delicious. There was a ton of carne asada in it as well as guacamole. My taco was really good. It was super crispy, although the beef in the middle was a little dry. The red and green salsa we asked for at the drive thru helped with that. My enchilada was drenched in red sauce and had a good amount of cheese filling and topping. There was way too much lettuce though, I feel like they didn't have to add so much. I ended up just moving it to the side. It also came with rice and beans which were both cooked perfectly. The beans were smooth and the rice had some veggies in it which was nice. My boyfriend's burrito also came with rice and beans which was a surprise. That usually doesn't happen at Mexican restaurants. I would definitely come here again and try something new.
