    Al Pastor Tacos
    Nathaniel T.

    This place is legit. My friends and I stumbled upon this place on our way back home from Dromedary Bar and saw the Al Pastor cart parked outside the restaurant. We grabbed the Al Pastor Tacos, Carne Asada Tacos and Chips and Guacamole and everything tasted great. Have high expectations for tacos and this place exceeded all standards! Would definitely come back again:

    a plate of tacos and rice

    BY FAR my favorite place to get tacos! Their carnitas tacos are so flavorful, juicy and fresh tasting. Their Al Pastor tacos also taste great! They give you lots of fresh cilantro, onions and lime. The salsa verde here is also my favorite, perfectly spiced and I pour it all over. The tortilla chips are homemade and sturdy and the guacamole never disappoints. I also love their flautas when I'm in the mood. There's lots of spots in the neighborhood but I always come back here 9/10 times. They aren't always the fastest but you KNOW they're making it fresh to order back there. The staff is so nice and friendly. Please show this place more love on Yelp

    My friends and I discovered Santa Ana after coming across a trompo cart outside on the streets. Immediately we knew we had found a hidden gem. Imagine the juiciest, most flavorful al pastor tacos: $3 and they're yours. This place has the best al pastor tacos I have ever had. If you live around here, you are beyond blessed.

    Perfect chips -- the homemade kind that are thicker/crunchier. W/ very tangy lime-heavy guac. Soooo good.

    Favorite spot in the whole neighborhood. Get the al pastor - It's the speciality because it's fresh. The taco boy is super friendly and will hook you up with great al pastor tacos, complete with doubled tortillas, lots of cilantro & onion, slivers of pineapple, radishes & lime. The quesadilla is great too, with the oaxaca cheese. My favorite chips of any Mexican restaurant. Awesome sauces & guac.

    Waited an hour and a half for terrible terrible food. The meat was not seasoned well, it was cold, but the wait for the food was absurd.

    Found myself craving Mexican (specifically, Birria) one Friday evening after a long work week…read more Nenes Taqueria hit the spot in every way I wanted. I went on a Friday evening around 9:30pm. It was still fairly busy inside, but it was mostly people grabbing to-go orders. After ordering I snagged a spot at the counter. There's extremely limited seating, so I wouldn't bank on eating at the restaurant when it's busy. Be prepared to take your food to go. I got the Nene's Deluxe, which comes with a taco, a mulita, and an empanada - all with Birria of course. It was all delicious. The mulita was at the bottom of the box and got completely soaked with Birria. It was extremely messy to eat. Get plenty of napkins. I also got a side of fries and nacho cheese, because it was a long week and I deserved it. They had a seasonal strawberry horchata as well. This was okay. I also think I might just not love horchata in general. This meal definitely hit the spot. The Birria and consommé were top notch. I would return in a heartbeat.

    I tried their Birria deluxe set that comes with a Birria taco, Birria empanada, Birria Mulita, and…read moreconsome for $16. That's a great deal! The Birria taco was good! The empanada was not like the usual closed off empanada, it was like open like a taco but instead of a taco shell, it was like the empanada dough. I didn't try the mulita yet but it was huge. Filling between two tortillas and I saw some guac filling as well. The consome was good! Not too salty - and has general pieces of meat inside the soup. The tacos were good but I felt like it lacked a little depth. I added some of the mango(?) it was a sweetish salsa and that gave it a nice little kick.

    I had thought I discovered a hidden gem when I tried their Lengua taco for the first time in park…read moreslope. Turns out they have several locations and are extremely popular. I felt dumbfounded! Nenes is something like the in n out of nyc. When my friend and I saw the storefront, the line was out the door. Many years ago back in LA, I had a mediocre cactus dish at a diner and never looked back. My friend went for a cactus mulita and I took a bite that turned into two more big ones. The cactus was crazy delicious with gobs of pull apart cheese, crispy browned edges, thick corn tortilla flavor, and spicy mango salsa, and pickled onion. When you come to nenes, you forget the line and wait. You transfigure into sheep and are happily a part of the herd. The only thing everyone is thinking are the minutes on the clock before annihilating the food.

    This place is quite affordable, as it was $13 for a pretty well-sized burrito. The burrito was…read moregood. However, I felt like the meat was a little dry and could have used a little more flavor, but overall it was solid. I do really like the sauce bar they have! The orange salsa was sweet and smoky and spicy, and the green salsa was very solid, and I liked the pickled radish as well. The service is very efficient, and the ambience inside feels very no-frills and authentic. Overall, I would recommend this place if you're looking for a good quick value meal.
