Across the street from the Rosarito Beach Hotel sit two competing taco places that sling the best…read moreal pastor tacos I've ever had, and I've been going for decades. Marinated pork shaved off the trompo next to that huge flame, topped acrobatically with a toss of guac sauce. Heaven, and worth any detour. Angel's is the first place that comes remotely close to this. The best I've had since Rosarito a couple of years ago. Today was my first time there, and I'm an instant fan. I also had the asada, just as good, and the tripa, also wonderful. It is now easily my favorite taco place in Orange County, narrowly surpassing Tacos Los Cholos, which is also pretty darn good. At 11:25 am the line was short, but the place was already pretty full. After ten minutes or so the line was out the door. Taco Tuesday for $2.25 instead of $4 each is a no-brainer.

Initially, I was tolerant of the 1 person cashier system and dealt with the wait but my opinion is…read morechanging. For one, I feel the meat quality has gone down. The asada and al pastor is not as tender compared to my initial experiences. I addition, the tacos have gone up from $3.50 to $4.00. Positive remarks for the tacos de cabeza and the condiment bar but improvements can be had. Other notes: cards are accepted, restroom is available, and there is plenty of parking.

That kind of service is rare and speaks volumes. What an awesome gesture! I definitely recommend this place. Thank you, Señor Taco!

This time I went a different direction though and picked up one of their Torta options - the Cubana. Fresh homemade bread with all of the fixings one would expect in a Cuban inspired Torta - quite large as well! The fam got Super Burritos, some with chicken and one with Al pastor. They had nothing but good to say - my son noting that it was really fresh tasting. The service was friendly and knowledgable, and they had our somewhat large order out in really good time. While you wait there's some arcade machines set to free play, a salsa bar with plenty of options, including roasted jalapeños. The place is clean with plenty of seating, and if I wasn't in a rush I'd have probably eaten there nust to get a few more rounds of Marvel v Capcom 2 in. ;)

They tack on extra charges not listed on the menu. Ordered 3 tacos and paid $19 something (handed him $20 and got some coin change). It was 2 carnitas tacos (listed for ~$4.40 each), plus an El Jefe taco (~$6.75). When he said $19 something it sounded high, I questioned it and he said that's what it is. I didn't want to argue further. I calculated it afterward and this was overpaying by $2 something. The amount is not a big deal, but I don't like being stolen from. So I'm writing this, so that others may avoid the same annoying experience. I was hoping the tacos would be really good and justifies it. But they weren't. The El Jefe one wasn't even as described. He said there would be cheese but there wasn't. The guac tasted old. And the whole plate was incredibly oily. The carnitas ones were less oily but not very flavorful either, and there were chunks of fat. Never again. Also the place was just gross. They used the same ladle for all the sauces, so it was all cross contaminated. The bathroom looked like a mess and had graffiti everywhere too.

While the regular prices can feel a bit high, the quality is excellent, and the Taco Tuesday special makes them an incredible value. Don't sleep on the peanut butter salsa especially if you add the chili oil. Super good. Not a big inside spot though, only five chairs at the counter seating by the front window. Mostly a to-go place. If you're in Cypress and looking for a tasty taco fix, Taco Tuesday at Trejo's Mexican Food is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back!

The horchata and Agua de Jamaica was 4 stars good. Not too sweet. They have a huge salsa bar with grilled onions, cilantro, a bunch or sauces, and roasted jalapeños. Totally worth the money and it WILL fill you up.

I've been coming here since it was originally named Alberto's...The outside seating has not changed. It's still the same round table bench with the red umbrella. Service is the same, they're pretty quick at getting your food prepped. Now I said that their carne asada has always been reliable, but my last two times I've ordered a carne asada burrito (sour cream and cheese only) or a CA burrito, IYKYK, their meat has tasted different. It taste like it's some carne asada and then like some other mystery meat, sometimes liver... Either way I stop eating it when I have tasted it being weird. Maybe it's the other meats they serve that get mixed in. I don't dig that. So for that I would rate them down to a 3 star. I'm rating their 3 rolled tacos as 4 stars! It's the best around. It has the crunch and enough meat inside. It's not all tortilla like some places. We always order it with sour cream and cheese only, with carrots on the side. I've tried adeltacos down the street and it doesn't compare. Get it here.

Our favorite part of this place is the awesome spread of extra you get for free at the end of the stand. All the radishes, cucumber, onions, limes you want! And they don't just have bags, they have little plastics cups for all the sauces, double points for that.

I was curious after reading some of the positive reviews. I ordered the revuelta and chicken with cheese. Both had great flavors and would consider getting them again. The flavorful, crispy empanadas were among my favorites. I got the carne (beef) and spinach with cheese empanadas and loved them. The perfectly fried shell and flavorful filling. Their Salvadoran tamales are prepared in the traditional style, with a flavorful filling and soft, moist masa, wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks. I love Mexican-style tamales (especially homemade), so this was a new experience trying Salvadoran-style tamales. I think most people will order takeout, but there's a moderately sized dining area with tables. It has a local feel and a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was kind and provided great service. The prices are fair for the quality of the food. I still can't believe I waited this long to visit Nancy's. I can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. Note: There is a little charge for using credit cards, so cash would be better if you want to avoid the CC charge.
