We gobbled up our tacos, beans and rice before we remembered to take a photo. I was raised on Mexican food and super picky. This is the real deal and authentic. The best part of this restaurant are the owners who pride themselves in supporting and serving our high school kids our booster groups, and are an important part of our West Garden Grove. They have fun activities as well, including an upcoming art night. If you want some delicious Mexican food to sit in or take out, this is the place to go. *Note: this restaurant was recently evacuated due to the chemical. Before they evacuated, they were worried about the elders unable to evacuate in our community, served our first responders & helped in anyway they could before shutting down. They're now open for business. Let's get out and show our support of this great local family business!

I live close to Rudy's and decided to give them a try recently -- and I'm glad I did. From the…read morefirst bite, you can tell their food is different from the typical Mexican spots around town. The flavors really stand out in a good way. Their fish burritos are honestly the best I've had -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Today I tried their breakfast burritos for the first time, and once again, the taste was unique and really satisfying. Everything feels thoughtfully made, not just thrown together. I really appreciate the Wednesday and Friday specials they have too. It's always great finding a local place that actually exceeds expectations. I'll definitely be coming back.

I thought $8 was a bit high but the burritos needed to be wrapped in double foil because they were loaded with delicious meat, rice, beans, salsa, and fresh onion and cilantro. I opted for the al pastor because I love the trompo! The meat was shaved and cooked on the flat top to get a little more char; I appreciate the extra TLC. I also picked up a few carne asada burritos which had a great smoky flavor to the meat. The reason this stands above the rest for me...is they put cheese on the tortilla, fry it to a crisp and then load the filling in. My son said it was like the best of both worlds; a quesadilla meets burrito! Definitely will be back! Tacos Darkous is across from the Shell station and in the same parking lot of Dino's and the bowling alley. There's another taco stand a few feet away...ballsy to take them on!

As a bizns owner managing hundreds of staff with multiple retail store chain for 25 years, I pride myself on efficiency regarding supplies and being cost conscientious without sacrificing the experience, especially being in the customer service industry as well as earning 5.0-star reviews in my hospitality business for the past 7 years. I know that I'm not wasteful or hoarding.} I barely got the essentials and this taco sauce police was trying to ruin my day, after a perfect surf session. I was already mellow on cloud 9 to be able to handle this penurious character. I told this cheap sk... to keep his sauce and toppings. 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. I cordially told him that I took the right amount of salsa needed for the 4 paid tacos and chips, contained in 1 quarter of a small sandwich bag which he handed me. 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. I returned these taco bar items into his hands and told him to keep or eat it himself and stop antagonizing the patrons like a pathetic mewling quim...Squeee! /.\ Should the owner of the establishment care enough to respond with a simple apology, I may reconsider to take down this post. Being a fellow business owner, who likes to give 5-star reviews to help promote others, I understand what it takes to work hard and 1 rotten employee can ruin any business reputation.

Small mom and pop local Mexican restaurant. Service is always fast. Although they have tables…read moreinside, most people seem to do takeout. Food is generally pretty good here. However, it also can be like an ingredient roulette. I've ordered the Ham and Bell Pepper burrito twice, not once did I see the Bell Peppers nor the tomatoes that are listed in the description. I've ordered nachos pretty consistently here, on occasion they have forgotten to add the cheese! The meat here in general is a bit saltier than I prefer, but my husband likes it and food is cooked quickly and is freshly made. In my personal opinion, the carnitas are the best meat they have. That's saying something coming from me because I don't actually like carnitas in general.

The lovely missus sees the sign for TJ tacos... yes they are the street tacos at $1.55ea that she longed for with a good portion of Pollo. Unfortunately her favorite Bunuelos are not made either...but they have Flan and Churro. She likes the Churro and a fountain drink. My choice for the TJ tacos con Carnitos are a tasty and porky choice. The Horchata was different today... I did drink it and refilled with the red flowery drink..not a fave...should have stuck with a bubbly soda. We ate inside and then waited for our "to take out" bean and cheese burrito as well as a breakfast burrito with bacon. Ranch Viejo despite not having soup or bunuelos on a Taco Tuesday is still one of our choice late lunch spots when at that side of town. The service was friendly and we did recognize the musical beats of Cancun whilst enjoying our TJ tacos.
