    I came here for National Taco Day. I wanted to try some place I haven't been to. I ordered two Asada tacos, two Alpastor, and a been and cheese burrito. They really load the meat on the tacos. Next time I may ask for more cilantro since it's a favorite of mine. I will ask for spicier salsa. The burrito was tasty too. Service was really good. The lady working was always checking to see how I was doing, and if I liked the food. I had to tell her it was National Taco Day though.

    My husband and I came across this place as we were on the way to the grocery store. We wanted a quick snack and shared nachos. The service was great! We got the nachos with half carne asada and half chicken, it hit the spot. Definitely worth checking out this quaint place.

    The service here is always so attentive & friendly. They also bring everything to you which I love. The place is clean, well lit and has lovely, colorful murals on the wall that really bring life to the place. And the food itself isn't super greasy like most taquerias I go to (tho neither is a bad thing). It tastes much more like homestyle, relying less reliant on heavy amounts of salt/lard and has you leaving the restaurant filling full yet not grossly full. And while I love hot salsa the mild salsa here is 10/10

    El Buen Sabor is truly a hidden gem in Tustin. Under new ownership for the past year, the restaurant has been completely revamped with a new menu, new cooks, and a fresh new look. Disregard the older reviews there associated with the past owners. Having visited twice, I can confidently say this place has become my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Each time, I had their chicken torta with cucumber lemonade. The torta's bread was perfectly toasted--crisp on the outside yet soft and airy inside. It cradled a generous portion of tender, marinated chicken that was succulent and bursting with flavor, complemented by fresh avocado, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and a tangy, homemade sauce. The cucumber lemonade was refreshing and perfectly balanced, a delightful palate cleanser that paired wonderfully with the rich flavors of the torta. The birria tacos were also a true highlight. The fresh, warm tortillas were filled with tender, juicy beef that practically melted in your mouth. The meat was richly seasoned and slow-cooked to perfection, creating an explosion of flavors with each bite. I literally crave their food when I'm at work. El Buen Sabor is easily the best Mexican restaurant in OC, and I'm so glad I discovered this place. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Mexican cuisine, this is the spot to visit.

    We recently visited this lovely restaurant. Family owned and ran authentic Mexican. Food service was outstanding. Pricing was good and the ambience was quaint. we were looking for a authentic Mexican food restaurant and we finally found it. Looking forward to going back.

    We are blessed to have amazing taco and burrito spots in OC. But for tortas... Bandido's can't be…read morebeat. They have their sauces to a science. The green is my favorite, but the red is what you need with their carne asides. Meat is tender, hardly ever dry. The buns come toasted and wrapped with care. Service is speedy, and the cucumbers are fresh. When I'm abroad, there are always things I want to bring back to the OC - better public transit, affordable housing, universalized healthcare... But you know what those places don't have? They don't got the best goddamn tortas. That's right.

    Later on: - They still aint picking up the phone…read more + Taco Tues still a steal though! + Still nice, helpful staff. Apr '26: Likes: + Scrumptious tacos. My fav: cabeza (head). So flavorful and fatty! + Taco Tuesdays (originally $2 each) are $1.50 each! I get full off of $12 worth of tacos. Delicious money-saver! + Splendid sauce bar. They've red sauce, green sauce, diced onions, cucumber slices, and lemon wedges. The green sauce is bomb! + If you order in Spanish, the staff respond in Spanish. + Pleasant ambience. . Decent amount of seating inside. Non-likes: - Sometimes they don't pick up the phone at all. - Limited parking. Tues evenings can get crowded. - In the past, they have run out of their signature cabeza tacos if you come later in the day. - (Apr '26): Crowded and slow on a Tuesday. Waited 30min for my order. And yeah, they still don't pick up the phone. What a drag... . Note: Last year people were hospitalized due to this establishment's unsanitary violations.
