    Vanilla cake w/ pastry cream filling, handmade chantilly flowers, natural fruit slices, and macarons! Top cake: 8 inch, bottom cake 10 inch

    I'd like to tell you how quick, kind, beautiful, humble, and professional the owner of this adorable successful bakery is. The owner of this little hidden gem in the heart of Garden Grove is named Blanca. Over the short time span of me coming to this bakery, I had not had the privilege of meeting her until last week. I was waiting in line, holding pan dulce and bollio, while the cashier was busy helping other customers. I didn't mind waiting, I was in no rush at all, but suddenly, a woman from behind the counter approached the second cashier and began ringing up customers. One-by-one, I was next in line within moments. This was a mere glimpse into the type of leader and business owner Blanca is. She leads through an attitude of servitude. Humbly, the owner herself served her clients at checkout. Just as the Christ of God Himself washed the feet of his apostles, coming not as a king to order others around, but rather as an attentive servant with a loving desire to fulfill the needs of others. For the last year or two, I have purchased only bollio and pan dulce from this bakery exclusively, especially for family events like Eater, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. But I never thought to buy a cake from here until last week. My older sister and I made the mistake of waiting until the last-minute to order our other sister's cake for her bachelorette party! But Blanca came to our rescue. Four days before my sister's party, I sent Blanca an email to ask if she would take-on an extremely last-minute order. The website for Estrella De Mexicali, clearly states that cake orders should be placed 4 to 5 weeks in advance. Still, I took a hopeful risk and sent the email anyway. I attached a photo of what my older sister wanted the cake to look like, and I included answers to the short questionnaire from the ordering website: "How soon is your event? What is your budget? What style of cake are you looking for? How many guests will you be serving? What flavor, filling, and icing are desired? Do you want a cake topper? Do you want handmade fondant decorations?" About 20 minutes after sending the email, Blanca promptly responded, willing to take on our last-minute order! She clarified and elaborated on a few creative details regarding the cake order: she said vanilla flavor with pastry cream filling, handmade Chantilly flowers, natural orange slices, and chocolate dipped macarons! (Top cake: 8 inches, bottom cake 10 inches.) The cake she created for us turned out even better than the photo we sent her, which was a screenshot of a mainstream Hispanic large chain bakery/grocery store. Thanks be to God the Eternal Father, I made the right choice in giving our order to a small business instead, because by Saturday the cake was ready for the party! The cake tasted sweet, light, soft, and airy. It was as delicious as it looked in the photos. Blanca and her lovely bakery have my appreciation and my gratitude for coming to my family's rescue!

Tacos were $2.50 like most of the other trucks/stands that I've been to in the area and super good. I also liked that they cucumbers with some sort of salsa on them instead of just plain cucumbers I liked both the cabeza and the pastor a lot, but suadero was the one that stood out to me the most compared to previous tacos that I've had. Def recommend giving suadero a try if you haven't yet! Two of my friends tried it for the first time and liked it a lot. Only thing that would've made it better is if the pastor taco came with pineapple

Whenever we're in the area and see the truck, there's always a crowd, and we always stop by to grab some food. They've never disappointed us. Their salsa is one of our favorite parts--it's flavorful with a good spicy kick. Our usual order: Carne Asada - 7/10 Tender, but a little on the dry side. Lengua - 8/10 Super tender and full of flavor. Al Pastor - 8/10 Well-seasoned with a nice char. Mulitas - 9/10 One of our favorites! Crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Lengua Quesadilla - 9/10 Loaded with tender lengua and definitely worth ordering. We recommend this spot to all of our friends. There's plenty of parking, and the truck is well lit at night. Although the surrounding street is fairly quiet in the evening, it's an easy and convenient stop if you're craving authentic street tacos.

Decided to drop in and was delighted to know their Taco Tuesday special is $1 street tacos for a select handful of 8 protein fillings and $2 for 6 other choices. Even their regular price is still very reasonable. There was definitely a line around 6pm but it moved quickly. Love that they also have a self service taco condiments bar and area on the side of their truck where you can top your food with the freshly sliced or pickled veggies/chilis and slather on various taco sauces to your heart's content. Especially loved that they use a rotating gyro style meat grill for some of their meats. I also noticed they had another truck/van parked nearby where one of the staff would go to replenish some of their supplies for their taco truck. What an efficient way to keep up with demand by having a mobile/secondary vehicle that you can use for storage of stock to keep up with the high demand. I loved all the street tacos that I tried: carnitas, fried fish filet, al pastor, carne asada. Flavorful and done right! Definitely recommend this spot any day of the week when they're open, but especially for their Taco Tuesday specials.

We started doing a game where we'd pick something random on the menu, just to see if it was a miss. That's how good everything is here. From the carnitas plate, to the tacos a la cart and the Camerones that remind me of the day my husband proposed to me after a day in Bajamar. The service is also everything - they've got a great team dynamic and always seem to be talking about what's next in the kitchen, what needs to be prepared or what to turn over and make fresh. The cherry on top has to either be the custom made salsa bar or every single Mexican soda you can think of. Dine in, outside or takeaway. The ambiance is really all because of the food and how it feeds your belly and soul.

I can guarantee that neither my family nor my staff team will ever be eating here again, be expecting them to review your business in kind.

So later I can evenly distribute this portion into 4 empty sauce cups along with another quarter of a sandwich bag of misc vegies: 1 spoon of diced onions, 3 thin slices of carrots, 2 chilli peppers, and 4 slices of lime, all mixed inside one-fourth of that bag to be splitted among 3 different staff members. Yet this taco tickler kept grinding at my eardrums three times "ONLY WHAT YOU NEED" in front of other customers. As if he assumed that I'm the one eating these tacos, when they're for my 3 employees.

There's 3 people ahead of me. Jackpot, right? Wrong. They move so slow that a line forms behind me anyway. 15 minutes later I finally order: 2 carne asada, 2 al pastor to go, onion + cilantro on the side, salsa included. $2.65 each, FYI. Get home, crack open the foil, and... are these tacos for ants? I'm not crazy, so I did what any rational adult does: pulled out a food scale. Three tacos, weighed the meat. All came in at _under 1 oz_. Normal tacos run 1.5 oz. These are missing a full half-ounce of dignity. I usually need 2-3 bites per taco. These? One bite. I tested it. Slid right in like a communion wafer. Flavor? Aggressively mid. Carne asada tasted like it gave up halfway through cooking. Pastor was just... there. Nothing offensive, nothing memorable. Like a beige PowerPoint slide. Sides? Salsa bar? Pickled onions, grilled jalapeños, radishes? Nah. This place is a desert. You get foil, meat confetti, and the crushing realization that $2.65 bought you disappointment. Now I know why the line died. Taquería Mexico isn't even phoning it in -- they hung up. Orange County really is the undisputed champion of mid tacos. I live 1 mile from the LA County line and I'm forced to cross it like a taco refugee. Sad, because I _want_ to support brick-and-mortar spots. But not when they're actively shrinking my dinner. Giving them 3 stars on Yelp because I was raised right. Real score: 4.8/10. The pics on their site are pure fiction from 2012. Don't believe me? I took a pic of the meat on my scale as evidence. CSI: Taco Division. Do better, Taquería Mexico. This is shameful.

Might consider getting TWO of these instead of the fish. FISH: solid! Comparable to the ensenada fish tacos in fullerton I think? Or maybe that one is slightly better, been awhile.
