    Carne Asada Fries with poblano added
    Isaura T.

    Super friendly! Tried this place for the first time and got their carne asada fries and I added the poblano to them (how they are made for their tacos). All I can say is it was delicious and I can't believe I waited so long to try this place out. Will definitely be back!

    Front counter. Clean and good vibes

    Best tacos in the area. Pricey but very good. I'm new to the area and glad I found this place.

    Location was perfect  for me, as I can provide a craving for something worth waiting for and business all at the same time.

    Nice place comfortable and relaxing atmosphere is somewhere, you would want to be. Relaxing.

    loaded fries-pretty dry with not a lot of toppings to go around with all those plain fries
    Rob B.

    A few things... 1) I've been here a handful of times. This is my first time writing a review for them 2) First visit, I got the gabornador taco. Amazing! 3)Was bummed to learn the breakfast burrito here is only available during breakfast hours and you can't modify the burritos here or at least they wouldn't allow me to. 4)Look at my loaded fries. Notice any problems? Well for me, whether nachos or loaded fries, I like my toppings to go around. There wasn't really enough toppings to go around with all these fries. In top of that, these fries were crispy/crunchy and plain-not the type you'd just enjoy by themselves without the topping. There's a lot of seating available and there's usually someone ready to take your order immediately-this trip was no different. This place is in a huge plaza with parking everywhere. Not my fav Mexican spot but one I check out when I'm in the plaza with time to kill but I don't go outta my way for it. I like to order a lot of food when I do order, or choose a place and since the loaded fries are a no-go here and I can't have a breakfast burrito whenever I want, that limits the amount of times I'd consider eating here.

    Look at this HUGE build your own breakfast burrito.

    I stopped at a nearby charging station and decide to look for breakfast while I was in the neighborhood. This place was local, open and close by so I gave it a shot. So glad I did. I opten for the build tour own breakfast burrito and got it with birria. Damn! So good. Never had breakfast birria before. The portions are VERY generous and the line guy takes his time to cook everything right. It's definitely going to be breakfast AND lunch because there's no way I'm eating the whole thing at once! The place is clean. The service is friendly. The AC is cold. The music is a bit loud for 8am but that's neither here nor there. And of course, the food is great.

    Bacon and Egg Burrito

    Always, delicious! Clean, modern and friendly. I have to try the corn in a cup, looks so good.

    Super Cali no alpastor
    Jr. J.

    This is the best burrito in Southern California! My drive route alternates from the IE in LA SD OC and no one has good ingredients like this place. The tastiest carne asada! I get the super Cali with no al pastor sometimes with it. I'm usually here during the busy hours when it's the freshest.

    The overall service and quality of food has gone down hill. Much better options in the area that have better value and better taste.

    Another go to Mexican spot in Lake Elsinore is El Unico. This is my go to for Cabesa Tacos. Hands…read moredown they have the best and most tender cabesa tacos that I've ever had. This reminds me of my childhood. Customer service is great and the staff is always helpful. The ambiance is cozy outside type of area where you'll see birds around you, bugs flying around so your orders may end up being to go as it's an outside type of seating. Other than that the rest of the food from what my wifey has had been very good and on point.

Saturday at lunchtime, the restaurant was pretty busy and seemed potentially understaffed. The outdoor seating area had lots of seats (seems that most people are doing takeout), and is so beautiful. Absolutely loved what they did with the foliage here. While I will say the chicken enchiladas didn't particularly stand out to me, the rice and beans were some of the best I've had. I don't generally like rice and beans but I cleared off my plate here. And we were all blown away by the nachos (with carne asada)--they were so delicious and easily devoured. It's a large portion, and well worth the value. Such a lovely spot and I'm glad to have stopped by. Hope to be back soon!

    DELICIOUS HOMEMADE TORTILLAS! I've been following Aztlan Tacos on Instagram for a few months now…read moreand I finally made it in! The girl at the counter greeted me with a smile and was INCREDIBLY professional! I asked about their namesake taco the "Aztlan Taco" and she broke it down for me. I didn't get her name but she was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I ordered two of the "Aztlan" tacos with carne asada as she recommended, they were really tasty! I think the carne asada could've been a bit more savory but it's only a minor suggestion. The authentic flavors and in-house tortillas wrapping the tacos were phenomenal. My highlight were the sopes! I cannot recommend them enough, you MUST try the sopes! I ordered one chicken sope and it was hands down one of the best sopes I've ever had! The cream, cheese, meat and sope itself tasted like ingredients I would get in Mexico! Trust me, I know authentic. PRO-TIP: Squeeze a little lime on your Aztlan tacos, I did! Everything about this taco shop was quite convenient and accessible. There's a salsa bar which is covered at all times, a small fountain with classic soft drinks and a side fountain with jamaica and horchata. The restaurant was very clean and modern. I appreciated the quality AC too! Note: Dine-in customers receive a free pack of small tortilla chips or a small bag of Fritos. I recommend the corn tortilla chips.

    I got a hankering for a breakfast burrito one morning coming down the Ortega highway. After a 10…read moreminute detour and a short wait at this little hole in the wall, my mouth was happy, the birds sang a little clearer, and my belly was thanking my brain. It's delicious. A good pie starts with a great crust, and a good burrito starts with a great tortilla. This had such a tortilla. The bacon wasn't crispy, but it was thick cut, and tasty. The fries weren't crispy either. The cheese was melty, the eggs were seasoned, the refried black beans were the perfect amount, and the onions and cilantro gave it little pops of perfection. The red spicy is spicy, the green salsa is flavorful, but the profile of the green one didn't match the burrito. And honestly? It needed to cool off because the damned thing was hot--but it didn't need the salsa. This place is a 10 minute detour from the Ortega, and it's also 10 minutes from the freeway. And if you find yourself looking for a breakfast burrito and you're anywhere close to El Chapin, you can hear the birds sing a little louder too. Big, but not gigantic. Pricey, but not expensive. And awesomely wonderful.

El Chapin is located inside of a small, family-run market off Main St. They have a big menu w many different options to choose from. I decided on the asada burrito, jalapeño pupusa, and taco de Mexicano. Burrito: Different from your typical Mexican taco shop. It had rice, black beans, cilantro, onions, and guacamole. The black beans gave it a different taste than what I'm used to but I really liked it. Muy rico! Pupusa: Spicy jalapeños and cheese cooked inside a flattened masa dough. The curtido on top was delish and elevated the entire dish. Taco de Mexicano: Delicious!! Asada taco w nopales, cilantro, and onions. The nopales gave the taco an enjoyable texture and flavor. Service was great! Give this place a try whenever you're in the area!
