    Fajitas de pollo
    Samantha M.

    First thing you see when you enter is a beautiful decor of Mexican culture. We were greeted and asked whether we'd be eating in or out. You choose your desired table and your given the menu. You get a drink and appetizer while you choose what to order. The waitress was nice she brought our food in less than 15 minutes. The food was great, I ordered a plate(fajitas de pollo). The only downside were the dry tortillas and the metallic taste in the water. The place needs a bit of cleaning as well.

    I really like this place. The food is solid. The people are super nice. It feels really comfortable when you are there. It is a little small so not great for large groups. Also not super quick. Have never had anything bad here. Really like the mole. Generous portions as well.

    These are the added vegetables that I asked her not to put in my fajitas because I am allergic to bell peppers

    I wish I could leave less than one star. This was the worst Mexican food I've ever had in my life. The service was horrible they don't have regular water you have to buy bottled for $2 a bottle, they were out of lettuce, so she said they don't have salads when I was trying to get a taco salad which is on the menu, they had a surcharge of $3 if you use a credit card without telling you they just charge it on your card, they changed the pricing on the bill from what was on the menu, I asked for pico de gallo and she said no problem and then she charged me $3 for it for my chips and salsa from when they give them to you for free. It's fine if they charge but they need to tell you before they charge you. I'm super unhappy the food was disgusting see attached picture when I said no Peppers nothing hot I can't eat any of that and they served it with my food anyway. I tried a couple bites and then could not eat I had to go to the Chinese restaurant next door. Horrible and horrible service and I speak Spanish and she still just looked at me with an angry look like she did not understand what I was saying and I went real slow.

    When my wife's brother and sister-in-law recommended this place they really praise their food and service and they were right. We have been to El Taco Veloz already twice and it is wonderful each time. We have got to go back very soon and when we visit Southern California again we will be going back to this restaurant to enjoy the wonderful food.

    Honestly, the best Mexican food you can get a restaurant. The food is authentic, fresh, and so delicious!! My family and I come at least 1- 2x a month! Come and give it a try because you won't be disappointed.

    It looked good...................but no. Salsa: bad. Meat: no flavor. Food: Got me and my girl friend sick for a day. Not going back.

    Chicken Fajitas to go. So Yum!
    Christina J.

    My favorite Mexican restaurant in Orange County! The Fajitas are never dry. So juicy and flavorful! You won't be disappointed!

    We recently relocated from Garden Grove to the Santa Ana/Fountain Valley area and have been on the…read morehunt for a Mexican restaurant to fill the void left by our beloved spot in Los Alamitos. Thanks to Restaurant Week, we stumbled upon this gem, and we are so grateful. The hospitality alone would earn five stars. But then came the food. The tacos? Absolutely exceptional. The steak was tender and flavorful in a way that reminded me of eating throughout Mexico, you could actually taste the meat. A light, gentle pickle of vegetables on top, minimal cheese, nothing heavy or greasy. These are not the American-style tacos drowning in a pound of melted cheese. These are the real thing. The beans were lovely, the rice was solid, and my passion fruit winearita drink was genuinely a treat. Restaurant Week gave us the perfect low-pressure reason to try somewhere new, and we walked out with a new favorite. We'll be back for lunch. We'll be back for dinner. And yes, Taco Tuesday, we'll absolutely be back for that.

    Honestly, I have no idea how this restaurant has nearly 5 stars…read more We arrived around 6 PM with a party of 6 adults and 3 toddlers, and we didn't receive our food until almost 8 PM. To make matters worse, one of our meals was completely forgotten. The service was extremely slow throughout the entire visit. Every time we needed something, whether it was a refill, an update, or assistance, the wait felt excessive. The restaurant may have potential because the food itself was flavorful, but it seemed like they were either understaffed or unprepared for the number of customers they had. Another disappointment was the drink selection. We were told they don't have a liquor license, so hard alcohol isn't available. Their sodas were canned, and when we asked for juice for the kids, they told us they were completely out. As for the atmosphere, the restaurant is on the smaller side and felt more like a converted house than a traditional restaurant, complete with a fireplace and television in the dining area. The food had good flavor, which is the only reason I'm giving more than one star. Unfortunately, the long wait times, missing meal, lack of drink options, and poor service made the overall experience disappointing.

It is next to a gas station. It looks like a pretty popular place during the lunch hour. It's a smaller place inside, but they do have an outdoor patio. We were able to find a small table, not too far from the front counter. Ordering at the front was easy. The staff was friendly and quick. We could see the cook grilling up the meats as we placed our order. There were at least five different salsas to choose from as well as cucumbers and a chili oil at the self-serve salsa bar. I noticed a customer in front of us ordered a kids plate which included two street tacos and rice and beans. That's what I ended up ordering with Carne Asada and chorizo. There were four or five proteins to choose from for the kids plate. I loved the grilled meats with the char flavor. It was delicious! Everything was well seasoned. I wish I would've ordered a third or maybe even a fourth taco because it was that good! I will definitely come back many times and it's going to be on our lunch rotation for sure.

The burrito was solid sized, I was definitely full after eating it. Great seasoned potato wedges inside, tasty egg, and plenty of bacon and sausage. Only thing with the bacon and sausage was that the bacon was actually bacon bits. I'm pretty sure they are pre bagged bacon bits, judging by the extreme salty taste...they overpowered the sausage inside so all I was really getting was bacon bits. There was supposed to be chipotle mayo inside as well, but I don't think mine had it. Or it was also overpowered by the bacon bits. Burrito was grilled on both sides and wrapped up nicely. By the time I got it, it was still super hot. The green and red salsas are also delicious.
