    Hair!!!!
    Lynda N.

    First time trying out this place. Took a bite then open up the taco to add more sauce... There's hair in my taco. Say no more! Threw out all 3 tacos.

    Not exactly the best service, it wasn't crowded but only 1 or 2 waitresses, the food was ok, nothing spectacular, the price not cheap, hopefully they invest in more people to serve faster and efficiently, at the end we wait for the pot to be processed, another person came to pick up the card. The place have potential with a good management, they have tables outside also and there's plenty of parking.

    Love this spot. The food was on point. Very fresh and refreshing. They were super nice to me they even put the Dodgers game for me. in Anaheim. I will definitely be back for some more cravings of ceviche.

    La comida está deliciosa, tienen una salsa de la casa que hace las tostadas súper ricas. El servicio amigable, muy lindas. Solo no me gustó que utilizan platos/cucharas desechables en plena crisis ambiental

    shrimp ceviche

    If you are craving ceviche, this is the place for you. I tried both the shrimp and fish ceviche tostada, and while both were good, the shrimp one was better! You can get this for yourself, or to share with others. They give extra limes on the side in case you want to add more to the ceviche. There is both seating inside and outside, and it is quite home-y feeling inside. Not all of the servers speak English, but don't let that stop you from coming and trying!

    food here is okay but seems pretty authentic. the marlin taco is in a hard shell taco and has cheese and crema. this is pretty good but the marlin meat was on the drier side. the fish taco was not good at all, the soft taco shell was cold and taco could've used more flavor. the ceviche is pretty good but a little too limey for my preference!

    All the sauces!

    The review that says "they don't speak English.." **eyeroll** BFF was digging in the trash for work earlier in the day. We were supposed to have dinner in Brea but, she had to go home and shower. We ended up here because her husband said "you can't have sushi because I want sushi but, I have to go to work." So we come to yelp... What a pleasant surprise! I like how it's a small menu, small restaurant, and friendly service. Everything my BFF and I had, we enjoyed. Botana de camaron, pulpo y aguachile - super fresh, had all the things and you know I am extra. I want to try a little of everything! Taco de camaron and taco de pescado - we ordered 1 of each to try and share. YUM. We were told that we need to get the Marlin taco. Ostiones - tasted fresh and hit the spot Michelada - the mix is amazing! My friend ended up getting some to-go for her husband. She ordered enchiladas togo for her husband and he really enjoyed it. I can't wait to bring my husband to this gem. I want to try the soups! I love soups. Our server was awesome. She was super helpful and friendly.

    I'm a big fan of ceviche and I've actually come to Mariscos Mocorito a few times already throughout the years. What I love is the shrimp ceviche and the taco de marlin. I would say those are their best items in my opinion. Their micheladas are excellent. Some of the cons are that the service and ambiance are not the best and the restaurant was very cold the last time I went. The servers are not very friendly. Our server actually dropped some cucumbers from our dish on the floor and then didn't replace them. The avocado on my tostada de ceviche was also pretty hard :/ I appreciate businesses having ACs, but the day I came it was freezing.

    Molcajete
    Yamilex R.

    First to start the service is good. The server kept checking on us every 5 min. He was very attentive. The place is nice and spaced out. There is two sides within the restaurant which is nice. The food is tasty. My husband had the molcajete and he said it was good with flavor. I had a tostada de camarón cosido and it was a nice portion & so were the tacos with good flavor.

    What's left of my delicious molcajete!  Soooooo good! A must try!

    Delicious fish tostadas and tacos! The marlin tacos are also amazing. I'm not usually a fan of Michelada's but they have the best here!

I ordered the same meal, the veggie tacos, and they were nowhere near as good as the first time. After staying away for a long while, we decided to give Gabbys another shot, but once again the food was underwhelming. This place just seems very inconsistent, and the service was mediocre at best. My wife ordered a steak burrito, and when the food arrived, the burrito had no meat in it at all. She had to send it back. It's hard to understand how a steak burrito goes out without steak. It also feels like everything is pre-batched, which takes away from the quality and freshness. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, I personally would not recommend this place. The food feels very Americanized and lacks the traditional flavor and quality you'd expect from authentic Mexican cuisine.

The beans did not taste watered down, and the enchiladas themselves were flavorful. I always worry about shrimp overpowering the sides of a dish but it tasted great. The rice was also really filling. We had a reservation and they seated us at a pretty big table, which I liked. The servers were very timely, kind, and knowledgeable about each dish on the menu and the rotating specials. The inside of the restaurant was HUGE. I'm pretty sure it was built inside of a church. I really liked the stained glass and elevated seating areas nearby, it reminded me of the Old Spaghetti Factory layout in Fullerton. Overall, I had a very positive experience. I had to get a Diet Coke and of course, it was crisp to my expectations. A little heads-up, unlike the Costa Mesa location, they do not have horchata. Nevertheless, I'd come here again to try their burritos, tostadas, and salads!

When we got there, I let the server know but it didn't seem to matter because he didn't ask my name or time, he just seated us. That works for me! Glad we didn't have to wait, we had to make it a fast meal! We waited about 5 minutes before we were greeted by our waitress. I had seen they had just started serving the soft serve margaritas on their IG and I was SUPER excited to order one! I asked our waitress (Rosie) what flavors were available and she had to ask someone else. Ok, no worries, they had mango and strawberry. I asked for a swirl. My husband ordered a shot of patron anejo sherry cask. She did not seem to understand what he was asking for even though it was an item listed on the menu. He repeated himself a couple times and even pointed to it on the menu before she said "I'll have to check with the bar" she took the rest of our order which consisted of another cocktail, the empanadas, and an order of enchiladas. She left for a bit and came back saying they had his tequila. Then another waitress came back a few moments later asking how he wanted his tequila. After our order was in, we received our chips and salsa. The salsa was delicious! Not too long after, my empanadas came out and they were overdone. Burnt. The pastry was bitter, but not just because it was overcooked, but because it seems like the oil was old. The filling wasn't what I was expecting, but it was tasty. My husband's enchiladas were good. I had one bite. After our meal, husband ordered one more cocktail and the dessert chimichanga. Same bitter oil taste on the chimichanga, I wasn't a fan. When we were brought the check, it turns out we were overcharged for the tequila. We brought it up to the waitress and she told him he ordered a different one when he had repeated "patron anejo sherry cask" to her multiple times. I don't even know if there's more than one sherry cask tequila on the menu! Anyway, she was able to adjust the bill to charge us for the correct tequila but the husband still didn't get to drink the tequila he wanted. Oh well.

The carnitas themselves are the star--tender, juicy pork that's been slow-cooked to perfection with that signature crispy edge on some pieces, delivering rich, savory flavor without being overly greasy. It's seasoned just right, with a nice balance of porky goodness and subtle spices that let the meat shine. Wrapped in a large, fresh flour tortilla (they make their own in-house, which always helps), it's stuffed generously with the classics: fluffy Mexican rice, creamy refried or whole beans (depending on your preference, but both work great), chopped onions, cilantro, and a solid dose of salsa. I went with their green salsa for a bright, tangy kick that cuts through the richness perfectly, plus a dollop of sour cream and cheese for that creamy melt. No skimping on portions here--it's hearty and filling, easily a meal that satisfies for hours. At around $10 (give or take, based on current pricing), it's a great value in the area. The burrito holds together well without falling apart mid-bite, and the overall balance of textures--tender meat, soft rice/beans, crisp onions--makes every mouthful enjoyable. If you're in the mood for classic carnitas done right in a casual, bakery-taqueria spot with great salsas and a friendly vibe, this one's definitely worth grabbing. I'd rate it 4.5 out of 5--only docking half a point because it's not reinventing the wheel, but it's executing the traditional style exceptionally well. Highly recommend if you're near 728 N Tustin St in Orange! Pair it with an horchata, yum
