    5 Guisado Taco Sampler
    Lauren C.

    The tacos are OK here. Flour tortillas are quite thin. I found the tacos to be a little too salty. The tacos are a lot smaller than you'd expect (bite-sized). I can see the tacos hitting hard after several drinks at the bar nearby. I think this place has potential and hope they can work out the details of their food.

    Cecina Taco
    Lauren L.

    Lovee their tacos, their flour tortilla is firee it's the kind that's like kinda flaky pastry, reminiscent of roti. Definitely elevates the taco. The tacos are also decently large so even one is pretty filling considering it's a single taco, not that I stop at one. My favorite one so far is the cecina taco. I've tried other ones too (from my memory the al pastor, Baja fish, and one of the chicken ones) and enjoyed em all so I feel safe trying new ones cuz they seem pretty consistently good across. I didn't love the steak burrito tho, i think I got filet? I don't remember the specifics about it except that the meat wasn't tender and the other components didn't make up for the disappointing meat, was underwhelming as a whole. Will def stick to the tacos. I also don't get how they don't have limes to squeeze:(. They do provide lime juice but not having limes feels like a crime for a Mexican spot. I love also getting a drink at the bar right across, conveniently next to each other

    The food here is really good. I had the Cocina burrito. This is made with Hanger Steak. Each burrito is loaded with lots of tender yummy steak. It came with a small side of chips. I also got a bottle of Coke. They have a salsa bar on the right side of the counter. I went with the spicy which was really good. Everything here is fresh and made to order.

    Food here is fire!! It's amazing!! I've had the Cecina street taco and the cauliflower-mushroom street taco before, and it was amazing! When eating the vegan tacos, it doesn't feel like it's vegan because of the great flavors. Recently had the Cecina bowl for $18. It was super filling. Flank steak is great quality and quantity. Comes with so many side dishes from guac, rice, beans, cabbage, onions and chips!! Favorite salsa is the mild avocado, which has a bit of a spicy kick! Service counter is small and very clean. You get a buzzer and come back to get your food. I enjoy the flight area where there's lots of food options for others and they have lots of seats and water station. There is 90 mins free parking. You must know your license plate to enter in the kiosk

    Baja Fish Taco - without salsa
    Brian V.

    Mexican food stand located in the Mess Hall Market. The vibe/decor of the Mess Hall itself is meticulous, clean, large airport hangar turned food hall. As for Fonda, I would say that the food seems very traditional with a modern punch up in ingredients and presentation. The service style is you come up and order at the counter and you pick up your food when it's ready (fast casual). The person at the counter was really friendly. I came here specifically to try their Baja style fried fish taco. The fish was perfectly fried with a nice crisp on the outside with not too much batter and the ingredients and salsa all tasted really fresh. All held together by a delicious, chewy flour tortilla. Just a really great fish taco all around. Parking was easy to find because there is a dedicated lot to this area. You get some validation when you dine at the Mess Hall. Which is a scan and app process which might be a slight inconvenience the first time, but if you come here often, I would imagine it getting easier.

    If you love homemade Mexican food, you will love this place. The food is made from homemade recipes and served in Hand Made tortillas. It is kind of tricky to find this place and the parking is with an automated service that requires your credit card. One suggestion I need to make is they serve their tacos on a tray with paper under them. The issue is these tacos are very juicy and some of the filling spills out onto the tray. There is no way to avoid this. I would like to suggest they serve their tacos on a paper plate or cardboard tray to retain the juice and filling. We tried the steak and pork tacos and like others have said, they were excellent. I loved the pork with pits of pineapple in them. Crunchy, sweet, and tangy. This place is a new discovery in OC.

    Taco combo with Al Pastor Taco, Cecina Taco, Pacific Shrimp Taco!! Tortillas were delicious and absolutely tasted home-made.

    A hidden gem!!! Had a lovely outing today and split four tacos in between myself and my mom. We ordered a taco combo with Al Pastor Taco, Cecina Taco, Pacific Shrimp Taco!! Tortillas were delicious and absolutely tasted home-made. Was enough between us and was totally delicious. Honestly some of the best tacos we've had in awhile and we are Very Picky about our tacos! Service was quick and the front cashier person was kind enough to give us a second tray so we could split! Definitely making this our to-go spot for tacos!

    Wow! So glad I finally had the chance to come and check out this place. The place is inside the Mess Hall located at the Tustin Legacy. Inside you will find various other food places but we came to try this place. We ordered the Guisado taco sampler and the quesabirria. I can honestly say that all the food was so delicious! The tacos were small but filling my husband tried some and I had a few. We couldn't say which one we liked better because they were all good. The quesabirria was also delicious, the birria was tasty and it was not overly greasy. Let me also tell you about the delicious salsas. One of them tasted like the one my mom makes, so good!!!! We will come back to try some of their other food options because I am sure they are delicious! Also inside there is a bar that is owned by the same company as this place and I had a passion fruit margarita and a hibiscus margarita and both were so good. Miguel the bartender was very nice. Definitely be back for some more margaritas!

    Cauliflower Mushroom Taco and Mexican Squash Taco
    Jessica R.

    If you're in the Tustin area and looking for a great spot for lunch, I highly recommend checking out the Mess Hall. I stopped by for the first time today, and I'm so glad I did! A coworker suggested I try the Mexican restaurant there, and it definitely did not disappoint. What I liked most was that they offer vegan options, which is always a plus. I decided to try the Cauliflower Mushroom Taco and the Mexican Squash Taco. Both were cooked fresh to order and served on warm flour tortillas with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The flavors were vibrant, and the tacos were packed with deliciousness. While both tacos were fantastic, my absolute favorite was the Mexican Squash taco - it had the perfect balance of flavors and was just incredibly satisfying. I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu, and I'm looking forward to making this a regular spot for lunch!

    All beans and white rice, hardly any meat
    Jessica S.

    My son was hooked by a picture he saw online for this place, so we came by to try it out for dinner. The place is inside of the Tustin food hall, amongst a few different spots for food and drinks. It's cute, but definitely needs more businesses. The ordering process was easy, the cashier was friendly. The food was okay, and not worth the price. I bit into my chorizo burrito and it was mainly beans and rice, and it was regular white rice, which was strange. Hardly any cheese. My son ordered the chicken tinga burrito, which lacked flavor and was not juicy.

    I tried Fonda Moderna a couple of weeks ago. It is located inside the Mess Hall food court in Tustin. We ordered a few tacos, the al pastor and the beef. I enjoyed the al pastor tacos the most. They were extremely juicy and had a pineapple salsa in it. The decor inside the food court is nice.

    A taco shop tucked away inside the Mess Hall at FLIGHT. Lots of seating area inside and there are ping pong tables that you can use outside. Extra bonus is the bar right across from here. Counter service was quick and their staff was friendly/helpful. I loved that there's a self serve salsa bar. All of them were delicious and had a slightly different level of spice. Was hoping their extra caliente salsa would pack a punch but sadly it under delivered. Birria Taco - 3.5/5 the meat tasted good but a little under seasoned Al Pastor Taco - 5/5 loved that there was pineapple on top Carne Asada Hanger Santa Carota - 3/5 had very little hanger steak and mostly fillers Overall, it was not bad. Burrito was disappointing since there was barely any meat inside but the tacos were solid. I want to come back and try their vegetarian tacos. The cauliflower tacos looks amazing.

    Is this place still in business? We call every day and no one picks up.

    Still open, I ate here maybe a week ago. Not sure why they wouldn't pick up. Sometimes the food court it's located in closes early or on random days and doesn't update their hours on Google or Yelp.

    Says they're open until 10 here but went at 7pm and nothing in the complex is open. When is the grand opening?

    Wow. Totally outstanding. We had reservations for 1:30, but traffic was really bad so it looked…read morelike our arrival time was more like 2 o'clock. We call them and give them a heads up and wondered if there was still availability. Melody was pretty transparent and said that there is a different menu between two and five ---a more limited menu. She asked if there was anyway we could get there before 2 o'clock. Long story short, she was super gracious and told the cooks that we would get there a little after two and they would make us something from the lunch menu. Isa was our waitress, and she was phenomenal! Great sense of humor, very transparent about the different menu items. I got a copal and it was fantastic! Smoky and spicy, but not too spicy. We started our late lunch with Caesar salad, Sopa Limon, Seabreem fish dish. We also got the cubano. We were so stuffed by the end of it, but everything was phenomenal. The Caesar salad was a great way to start the meal, but after a couple of bites of it once we had the other dishes, it didn't stand out as much. We probably would've ordered the same thing all over again, with the exception of the Caesar salad (although it was still good!) Sopa Limon had a very unique bone broth flavor. It was a little sweet. So amazing. Seabreem dish - the vegetables played an important part in the flavors! The fries and the aïoli for the Cubano was amazing. The Cubano was excellent, but was a big serving. We sat outdoors, but if I had to have my choice, I would prefer indoors because the ambience indoors is similar to a resort. It reminds us of a place up in the Bay Area called Luna in Campbell. Except the food here is slightly better :). Will definitely return!

The drive through can take a bit , but it's not fast food so that has never bothered me. My one gripe, and it's enough for me to knock 2 stars, is their stinginess with salsa. Only Mexican restaurant I've ever been where they are vehemently stingy with their salsa. Order chips and pay close to $5 after tax and you get a solid amount of chips, but they only allow you 2 salsa and half the time they barely fill the salsa containers (honestly sometimes like 1/4 full which is less than an ounce of salsa). Again, it's literally the only Mexican food restaurant I've ever been to that limits you on salsa and it's not even reasonable. And this last time I went finally sent me over the edge because they charged me extra for salsa because I wanted more and I finally agreed to just pay up only to get home and realize half the containers were less than half full. Honestly unacceptable. And on top of that I'm a frequent customer that will tip a few bucks every time even though I'm not dining in and I continuously get screwed on the salsa.

El Habanero is that kind of spot  the ultimate hidden gem. You walk in expecting a quick bite and somehow leave feeling like you discovered a secret the city has been quietly protecting. I ordered the carne asada torta and immediately realized this wasn't just a sandwich  this was architecture. The bread? Perfectly toasted, soft inside with just enough crisp to hold the universe together. It cradles everything like it knows how important its job is. Then the carne asada shows up  tender, juicy, smoky, and seasoned like someone's abuela personally supervised the grill. Every bite releases layers: char, citrus, salt, and warmth all hitting at once. The toppings don't just sit there either they collaborate. Creamy, fresh, bright, and balanced so the meat stays the star while everything else plays the perfect supporting role. The sauces? I'm convinced they bend time, because the torta disappears way faster than logic allows. This isn't just food  it's the kind of meal that makes you pause mid-bite and look around to see if anyone else realizes what just happened. El Habanero didn't just make a torta... they made a reason to come back.

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.
