Was looking for good authentic Mexican food with a lot of variety at reasonable prices and Las Fajitas fit the bill perfectly. We came in on Tuesday, looking for a good Taco Tuesday deal and found exactly what we were looking for- lots of options for tacos at a good discount. Some places limit you to chicken or beef, but Las Fajitas has many, many options including fish, but not just one type of fish, they have tilapia, salmon, magi mahi, ahi, more choices than I've seen anywhere in the area- and if was really good, not just a few pieces of meat on a tor. Having been to several other taco places in the area, i think this is one of best menus I've seen. It's nice to not be limited to just one type of fish or to have only deep fried, that's what you get at places like Rubios, which just doesn't compare the choices here The lady at the counter was super nice, helped explain the big menu, and made sure we got what we wanted- we ordered a bunch of tacos and she made sure the order was right, repeating everything. Even after that, the cook in the back came over to double check he got our order right, it's all of these details that really made for a great experience Also, chips and salsa are among the best you can get. It's free! Most other places charge for chips these days, not here- it's not only included with your taco, but it's fresh and warm. Definitely coming back again for our taco fix. read more

I came in on a Tuesday and ordered 3 tacos, and a fajita burrito. The gentleman who took my order was very courteous and patient with me. They have a wonderful salsa bar - after covid you don't find many places who offer this! But they do, and it's all delicious. They do ask you only take what you'll eat. The carnitas was flavorful, but I have to say the steak is the way to go. Delicious! read more

Truly a hidden place and worth stopping in for a visit. Reasonable prices and plenty of food. The monster burrito was shareable for sure. There's a salsa bar and they offer beer and other drinks. Inside and outside seating with plenty of parking. read more

Had this place delivered via door dash and it was super worth it! Their portion sizes are solid and everything tasted fresh. We got the chilaquiles and breakfast burrito and it was 10/10. Love that they use fresh eggs and also give a portion of chips with the burrito. Also love that they are not stingy with the pico and salsa. read more

Las Fajitas - Bacon breakfast burrito - Mexican Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I stopped by Las Fajitas Restaurant in Lake Forest and had a great experience. I ordered the asada burrito lunch special, which comes with chips and a drink -- really good value for the price. The burrito was flavorful and well-portioned, with tender, well-seasoned asada. Everything tasted fresh. One of my favorite parts was their salad/salsa bar -- they have about 4-5 different salsas to choose from, plus pickled carrots, corn, and fresh pico de gallo. It's nice being able to customize your meal just how you like it. The restaurant itself is very clean, which I always appreciate. They had great Latin (salsa) music playing in the background -- not too loud, just enough to give it a good vibe. The staff was also very nice and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. They also serve alcohol, including beer and margaritas, which is a nice option if you want to relax and enjoy your meal. Definitely a solid spot if you're in the Lake Forest area and craving Mexican food. I'll be coming back! read more

I needed to cater a small (25 people) party at my house, and decided we wanted Mexican food to serve to our guests. Scouring Yelp, we found Las Fajitas, but there was a small problem: I had never ever eaten there before. "I don't want you to worry," said Sandra the manager, "come on down and try our food, you will love it. Do you have time now?" 30 mins later I walk into Las Fajitas for the first time, met Sandra's staff who were waiting for me, and 10 mins later I have a full plate of grilled chicken , steak, black beans, rice, fresh guacamole and tortillas. On the house. They were that confident that I would love their food. I did. So we ordered their "Taco Bar" , a make your own taco set up, we picked Mahi Mahi fish, chicken as our meats for tacos, and it came with all the fixings, including flame grilled veggies . Sandra delivered it all personally the day of my party, right on time , and helped set up all the chafing dishes at my house. Just amazing service. In short: Las Fajitas delivers on great food, customer service, and quite frankly they serve it with a willing heart. It's been one week later, and I'm eating leftovers and their food is still amazing . read more

I ordered a chile verde burrito for takeout. The chile verde burrito is basically pork cooked in chile verde sauce. I thought there would be more salsa inside the burrito even though I ordered it dry, but it didn't have a lot so I'm glad I grabbed a couple containers of salsa from their salsa bar. The burrito was very filling but not too heavy. It wasn't the best burrito I've ever had but it was good! read more

Arrived at 6:30 PM with the family for dinner. Nobody home. Wasted drive. The Italian restaurant next door told me that they just go home if it's slow, That cost them at least $80 and tips today. Another couple pulled up to find out they weren't able to spend money there either. Lame. I guess people should call ahead. You've been warned. But hey, the hundred spent next door got us some AMAZING Italian food! read more

Las Fajitas - Closed, tables locked up... their loss. - Mexican Near Me - Lake Forest, California

My mind is blown by how incredibly fresh and delicious the food is here. This spot is literally a hole in the wall and within aa walking distance of our motel. We ordered a combination plate of a child relleno, enchiladas and a asada taco w/ rice and beans, an extra asada taco and al pastor taco. The chille relleno is flavor ful, juicy and goes great with its tomate sauce. The enchilada was good, just a plain cheese, and the taco de asada..... wow, the meat was tender and juicy, perfectly seasoned. The taco de pastor was good as well. The have a salsa bar with different salsas, condiments a d toppings. Their pickled carrot are a must try! Also keep in mind the quality and size of the food is a perfect deal on the price. read more

If we are ever in the area again we will definitely pop back in! read more

Friendly service, reasonable prices and absolutely the best chile relleno I've ever had! So delicious.

There are plenty of parking spaces. You order first and then sit down anywhere you'd like. It comes with chips and you can get some sauces from the sauce bar. I ordered the Chicken and Ground Beef Enchiladas half red and half green sauce. It comes with a choice of pinto or black beans and also rice. The enchiladas were really good and flavorful with the sauces. The meat wasn't dry. I also ordered the Steak Fries, which were good, but the chipotle sauce was slightly spicy. Overall, everything was delicious. Recommendation(s): - Chicken and Ground Beef Enchiladas - Steak Fries Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Restrooms are located outside - Plenty of parking spaces - Order first and then sit down read more

Solid little spot, I always get the steak fajitas to go and they never disappoint. The meat is seasoned nicely and it's definitely enough to fill me up when I'm finished. Came in enough for the chef to notice (sometimes they will come from the back to take your order) and the staff is very kind and easy going. The location is small and it may seem under staffed, but the food is always ready in a timely manor and the amount I get is consistent every time. If you get there and no one is around, ring the bell, there are good people working here. The prices are completely fair and the food is great! read more

A hidden gem stashed away at the end of a random strip mall in Lake Forest, Las Fajitas Mexican Grill is a gem! The food is excellent - always fresh, flavorful, and authentically delicious. Every dish I've tried has been tasty and satisfying. The restaurant itself is very nice, with comfortable seating both indoors and outdoors depending on your mood. The space is clean and well-kept, which makes the dining experience even better. Service is top-notch too. The staff is attentive, friendly, and quick, so you never feel like you're waiting around. If you're looking for great Mexican food in a welcoming and clean setting, this is absolutely the spot! read more

We've been coming to Las Fajitas for a few years and for some reason, I'm barely getting around to writing this review. Honestly, this one is long overdue because I absolutely love this place! Las Fajitas is located in the city of Lake Forest, in a small strip mall. It's right off of the 5 freeway at the Lake Forest Exit. This is a shared parking lot that never seems to be incredibly busy. So, parking it plentiful. Las Fajitas' menu is pretty straightforward, but you can make modifications to your order. Thankfully, Sandra, their manager always remembers me and my order is always perfect! I always feel so welcome when I come in! The dining room is small but cozy. It's always very clean when we come in. Covered outdoor seating is also available if you want to enjoy a light breeze on the perfect day. There is a small salad bar with the menu displayed directly above it. The food is made to order and never tastes like they're cutting corners. The shrimp always seems to be fresh and perfectly seasoned. I absolutely love Mexican rice and I can tell that it's freshly made. The beans never taste like they're from a can and I really appreciate the authenticity of each meal! Las Fajitas is one of my favorite hidden gems! You'd never know that it was there because it's so easy to miss. It's adjacent to the outdoor shops and is situated closer to the freeway view from the parking lot. If Sandra is working, she will take great care or you! When you're at Las Fajitas, you are welcomed with open arms and they provide you with excellent service! read more

Had a chili verde burrito and was disappointed with the texture and the flavor and the freshness of the meat. I don't think it was made the same day and not Soft to any degree. I think they need to step up their game. They are not rated as high as yelp gives them chips were lacking as well. I should've known it by being the only one they're on a Friday night at 6:30 and the phone was not ringing. Only putting this out there so they can step up their game. Great location and setting. read more

We were looking for a Tex-Mex restaurant to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and Yelp led us to this hidden gem. There is plenty of parking and seating available inside and outside. It has a nice relaxing atmosphere, not too noisy or crowded. You place your order at the counter and seat yourself. Complimentary chips are served when you are seated. They have an awesome complimentary salsa bar with lots of variety. I ordered the steak fajitas. The steak was seasoned perfectly and tender. The veggies were cooked just right. They were served with rice and your choice of beans as well as guacamole. It was so good that I wanted to eat it all- I was stuffed! I'm so glad we found this place. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area. read more

Careful, the plate is hot. How many times have you heard that? Well this time it was the real deal. It was so hot it would send an Ove Glove up in flames. I came here for an early dinner on a Saturday evening. It's located in an old strip mall with a couple other small restaurants and a Salvation Army store. Take a seat at any open table and order from a menu or go to the front counter and order off the gigantic menu on the wall. I think either way is okay. I ordered a combination plate with a cheese enchilada and carnitas taco (combos come with the standard rice & beans). I munched on some chips while waiting for my meal to arrive. There is a salsa bar to choose whichever one you want to accompany your chips and to spice up your food. I also enjoyed a horchata which was excellent even though it wasn't homemade. The cheese enchilada was thin and super cheesy while the taco was so stuffed with shredded pork and other fillings and the tortilla so soft that it was impossible to pick up without it completely falling apart. The pork was lightly seasoned and some salsa was definitely needed to give it some oompf. Thanks to that hot plate all my food was plenty warm right down to the last bite. I also had some churros which were made to order so they were fresh and hot. The chocolate drizzle and the cup of caramel provided for dipping made this a sweet dessert that I thoroughly enjoyed. Service by the lone young woman who was taking care of tables and phone orders was spectacular; kudos to her for doing an efficient job with a smile, sparkle, and charm. Although you'd probably not know about it unless you did a yelp search, it's a pretty decent option for Mexican fare. read more

Came here for a quick bite on my way to work and they did not disappoint! I told the worker I was in a rush to work and he gave me suggestions from the two items that crossed my mind, so fast and efficient and the food was so good! I ordered a burrito and came with a side of chips. Both workers that I talked to were so nice and welcoming! definitely will be coming here again!! read more

One star because you guys keep screwing up our order. This is the third time it's happened. We ordered three burritos about half and hour ago. We ordered two Burrito Special's, instead we got two burritos with black beans, rice, cheese and carne. That is not what we ordered. Again this is the third time you have done this and all three times it was substituted by what we think you call the Newport Burrito. I'm annoyed, not what we ordered and you owe us money because the burritos you gave us are less expensive on your menu. Stop screwing up peoples orders! read more

For the cost, easily the best taco and Mexican spot in Orange County. Really solid tacos, free chips and salsa (obviously), and deals on Fridays along with Tuesdays. Really not a second close in the MV/Laguna niguel/hills area. read more

Omar and every staff member were so kind and personable as they took our orders, checked on us, made food and drink recommendations, and checked in on us repeatedly throughout the evening. The food looked amazing and tasted delicious. There were so many tasty options to choose from, especially the Michelada, according to my husband, in this quaint little side restaurant that had comfortable seating inside or outside, and a nice little salsa bar to add to your choices. Thank you so much!! read more

I have been coming here for a long time and every single time it is spot!!! Service is amazing and it is a very clean restaurant. Today I had to add onto my order and they were so kind and understanding and had it come up all the same time Ashley was at the front of the restaurant multitasking doing a fantastic job all with a smile. Houston, the chef in the kitchen is a great chef. Portions are plenty and taste is authentic not like you get at most places around town. I highly recommend it if you don't come you're missing out.!!! read more

I have been there several times over the past few months as my office is now located down the street. I would NEVER go to a drive through again, not when I can get quality Mexican food for about the same price. I love shrimp and have ordered shrimp tacos and shrimp enchaldas... they are always cooked to perfection, unlike higher priced restaurants on Lake Mission Viejo (ok, Hacienda) where they are overcooked and rubbery. Their enchelada verde sause is the bomb! Their Tuesday taco special is off the charts. I got a shrimp taco and shreaded beef, chips and salsa bar for..... $7.50!!! How can you beat that! You better believe I will be going back...often! read more

The guy behind the counter was curt, not friendly. Whatever. Food tasted OK, the issue was the next three days of my life after coming here... So much severe stomach pain, and I mean SEVERE.

Food and service are excellent. Everything is homemade at the restaurant, and it shows. We will be back soon!

Make sure they get your order right because we had two errors on our order. I got the Carnitas fajitas which were a little on the dry side, but overall decent. My wife had the combo with beef taco and Carnitas tamale. We actually got chicken taco instead of the Al Pastore taco that we ordered, I wanted a normal size margarita, but they gave me a mega instead the margarita portion was really big, but not the flavor. I was expecting since it tasted very artificial. Overall a nice mom and Pop restaurant. read more
