I really wanted to like this place. The cashier was very friendly but I'm pissed to find onions in both of my burritos. That's the only thing I asked them not to put in my burrito. I don't know why this is such a difficult request. I'm not asking for anything extra, I just want them to leave something out. Just spent $85 there and I'm eating cereal for dinner now. Not happy at all. read more

Tried Nono's for the first time. It's in a weird spot- on top of a car wash and no other businesses around them are open. They do have outdoor seating, but you're listening to the car vacuums. It's a sit down place, which I did not expect. You order at a table, not the register unless you're taking it to go. I got a carnitas and al pastor taco. They're small but filled to the top with meat! The carnitas was not what I expected- not bad, just not what I thought was traditional. The Al pastor was great- really crispy! I would have enjoyed a sauce on both of them because they were a bit dry, and chunks of pineapple on the pastor. The salsa served at the table is more saucy than chunky so I used that as the condiment. It is on the pricier side, probably because there are not many restaurants in that part of town, and it's next to a hotel. I would go back to try other things. If you use a credit card, there is a surcharge. read more

Tried a few more things - cheese enchiladas had more sauce this time! The bean tostada had lots of toppings. The carne asada was solid but the crunchy tacos were not fresh cooked and seemed to be mass produced ones. So that was disappointing. read more

I wanted to grab a quick bite while my car was being washed. It was a protein bar or tacos -- I chose tacos. This was my first time at Nono's and it was terrific. The service was so nice and food was excellent. When I came in, I could see the trompo with the al pastor. I knew instantly what I wanted. The server started with some chips and salsa - both good and then came the tacos. Three al pastor tacos with onions and cilantro. The double tortillas were hot and a little crisp. The meat was tender and delicious. I will be back for more. read more

We are so glad Nono's is so close to us. It's hard to find authentic tasting Mexican food that is quick and easy. Great prices especially for taco Tuesday, high quality meats that are seasoned very well, and lovely Hispanic music, not like most places with their AI-generated pop these days. Service is always friendly and quick and they give free chips and salsa that are top tier! It's a new staple for us. read more

Prior to entering the restaurant, there's a menu posted right outside the door which is convenient. The menu features several Mexican dishes. I kept it simple by ordering two carnitas tacos with rice and beans as the side. Unfortunately, the cashier was quite dismissive and somewhat unwelcoming. Food took about five minutes or less to be served to me ( takeout order) . As I waited I was pleased by the cozy ambiance and music playing. Once I opened my takeout bag there was a surprise... chips were complimentary. However, after tasting the chips, I felt they had lacked salt. The salsa that accompanied the chips was fairly spicy yet delicious. As a previous review mentioned, the tacos were full to the rim yet pretty dry.. the slice of lime given did elevate it a bit, however the meat did need a bit more moisture. The refried beans were incredible and had that perfect touch of lard. The rice had an interesting flavor... not bad, but also not my taste. Overall, the beans and salsa carried this dish for me. read more

We ordered two large trays: Rigatoni with Pink Sauce, which was the clear favorite among everyone, and Rigatoni with Meat Sauce, which was equally delicious and happened to be the only thing my 3-year-old would happily eat. The food was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations for a catered party meal. Based on the quality and taste of what we enjoyed, I would absolutely love to come back for a sit-down dining experience. If the party trays were this good, I can only imagine how amazing the full menu is!

Nothing screams picnic quite like an iced latte and panini pairing. I ordered the chicken pesto panini, apple chai kombucha, and a mushroom iced latte. This latte did loads for my social meter. Giving me the extra pep to talk all things books. The sandwich was stacked with thick pieces of avocado, jalapeños, and sliced chicken. A very filling meal that definitely caught everyone's eye. Would love to return and explore more of their food menu.

There's also some seating outside as well. We love Portuguese sausage and was glad they had that as a protein option. Staff was very helpful when we asked for suggestions. We ordered the Kim chee burrito with Portuguese sausage and a breakfast burrito with Portuguese sausage. We also got the Island coffee (coconut flavored) and Spanish coffee (condensed milk and cinnamon). Both drinks were amazing. We also really liked the Kim chee burrito. One bite and my husband and I wish we ordered 2. It went so well with the sour cream. The service was very fast as well. This is a must try if you are in the area! Wish I had pictures but we enjoyed it so much it was gone.

We were initially drawn to Domenicos because of the stunning views of lake Mission Viejo. We had the option of sitting inside, near the bar or outside on the patio. We chose to sit outside on the patio and got seated right as the sun was going down. They were nice enough to offer us blankets since it was getting chilly. We ordered the Chicken Alfredo Pizza and the Chicken Basil Cream Pasta. To start, the pizza was truly phenomenal. There was plenty of chicken to compliment the creaminess of the Alfredo sauce along with the dough itself. We ordered a medium pizza and it was more than enough to feed two of us. The Chicken Basil Cream Pasta was also rich and full of flavor. The serving portion was large, and we were also given Parmesan to complement the dish. Overall, the dish was enjoyable. For being a last minute pick, Domenicos on the Lake exceeded our expectations and proved to be a standout Italian restaurant in Mission Viejo.

Nono's is THAT spot. Flavor-packed, no-frills, and dangerously addictive. I've been here twice and both times walked out full, impressed, and already planning my next round. Let's talk about the birria tacos with consomé--they're crispy, cheesy, juicy, and the consomé? Straight-up liquid gold. Deep, rich flavor you want to sip like soup. No exaggeration. Second visit, I dove into the carne asada fries--and wow. Piled high, perfectly seasoned steak, creamy guac, melty cheese, and crispy fries that held their own under all that goodness. No shortcuts here--every bite hits. And let's not skip over the free chips and salsa they bring to the table. SO good. The chips are warm and crispy, and the salsa has that fresh, just-made kick that gets you instantly hooked. I'd come back just for that combo alone. Service? Friendly and quick. Vibe? Laid-back, clean, and all about the food. No hype needed--Nono's delivers. Pro tip: Come hungry, wear something loose, and don't be shy with that consomé dip. read more

Food was mediocre, service worker was very confrontational. A Mexican worker with shaved head in his twenties, looks like a gang member, wears a black string necklace with a cross. This worker is trouble, he's looking for confrontation, Stay away from this place. The workers speak Spanish thinking that we don't understand, but they're saying nasty stuff and constant profanity in Spanish. When we confronted them about this, they wanted to take us on. Stay away from here. read more

Maybe that was the style but I'm not used to eat tacos that way so left most of the meat behind. Perhaps, if I ever order from here again in the future, I'd be sure to tell them to not burn my meats. Salsa was very good. 3.5/5

The meat had a nice char and was packed with flavor. We ordered lengua, carne asada, al pastor, buche, and chicken, and we absolutely devoured everything. Later, when the food truck stopped showing up, my husband luckily had saved their phone number. We called and found out they had a restaurant location in San Juan Capistrano. Long story short, we come here often now for authentic Mexican food. Everything we've tried has been very good, and we would definitely recommend it. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Not everyone speaks English, but everyone is helpful and does their best to assist customers. It's a small, family-owned restaurant with plenty of seating. The only downside is that parking can be a little limited, but the food is well worth the visit.

It is very clean and neat, the salsa bar is stocked and ready for you to pick and take as much as you want. Their fountain drinks are also self-serve. You get in line to order. I got their birria tacos with consume, a kids plate of steak tacos, plain fries, and chicken taquitos. The birria tacos and consume surprised me! They were delicious! It's hard to make good, authentic birria and consume and they hit it out of the park. The order came with 3 and I wanted to leave some for my husband but it was really hard to want to share. It was so good! The chicken taquitos were meh for me. I usually love those but I didn't care for these. They didn't taste like much. I would have preferred tacos or more birria instead. The kids plate came with rice and beans and their beans were phenomenal! I wasn't expecting that either. I didn't get to try the steak taco because the kids ate it all (they hardly ever finish their food). I also ordered a few tacos to go for my husband (he really enjoyed them!) Their horchata was just the right mix of milk and cinnamon. Not too thick and not too sweet. Right after I got my food, they were flooded with orders and were doing their best to keep up with demand. People were not patient and some were rude but I think they did a good job at being professional and giving out chips or whatever they could to keep customers happy. The whole family was working it seemed- the uncle or dad on the grill, mom prepping the plates, son or nephew going over the orders, other nephew packing them up or running plates, niece at the cash register, daughter cleaning up the tables- I love that. A family that works together stays together. What a great example for our community! I was very pleasantly surprised at how great everything was, even on such a busy day! Can't wait to go back.

Tacos De Birria El Más Chingón

Tacos De Birria El Más Chingón is an absolute gem!…read more Coming back from LA, we were craving tacos and found this spot about 3 miles behind us. We immediately popped a U-turn and drove the extra 10 miles -- best decision of the night. The place looks small from the outside, but it's clearly built to handle crowds. It was nice and clean, not overly loud, with the FIFA game on in the background -- perfect vibe. The customer service was excellent right away, and I soon learned that Alex (who was hands-on with everything) is the owner. You can tell a lot about a place when the owner is right there setting the example. We started with quesabirria tacos and consomé. Holy smokes -- super meaty, perfectly crispy, and that dip in the rich consomé took them to another level. I was so impressed that I had to keep going to see if it was a fluke. Coming from Tijuana and LA taco standards, I needed to know if I'd just found a new local favorite. Next up: asesina tacos (tangy guacamole and chiles on point), juicy cabeza, and the absolute showstopper -- tripa tacos. Those tripa were next-level crispy, loaded with flavor, and the lime juice + green sauce combo was straight fire. I had to call people to tell them about it, then ordered three more just to confirm I wasn't dreaming. I've always been a lengua guy, but this place made tripa my new #1. Every taco came out looking like a meal fit for a king. This is the kind of spot you almost don't want to tell people about so you can keep it to yourself... but I have to spread the word. Thank you Alex for the warm hospitality and great conversation. Can't wait to see your future spots -- including the upcoming "Tia-juana name" location on Hollywood Blvd. I'll definitely be back soon and often. Must-visit. 10/10. Highly recommend!

The tacos are a bit pricey (about $5 per taco), but it makes sense for being in Laguna. Can't complain! I ordered the birria queso tacos with consume, since that was a taco Tuesday special. The first bite of that perfectly crispy taco, oh my goodness *eyes rolling back* and THE CHEESE PULL! Delicious. My coworkers and I ate in complete silence because we were locked in!! 5/5 on flavor. Even though it's 5.50 for a taco, it's a pretty good size and filling. I could only eat two! To be honest, I don't have any comments on the consume, it was good, but I don't think it made a difference (for me). One coworker ordered the birria Cali burrito and completely inhaled it. He said that the fries in the burrito really soak up the sauce and it's the only thing he orders 5/5 My other coworker ordered the birria queso taco KETO style. So instead of a corn tortilla, they use cheese for the taco shell. His words were "these keto tacos are fire" so if you're looking for a keto friendly taco spot, this place is for you! Give it a try! The indoor seating is nice and quaint. I didn't even know that there was a place to sit indoors! I think it's in a shared lot with a church that's adjacent ? No comments on service, but they were super nice. You just order at the front with the cashier and you take your number to a table for them to bring out your meal. Side note - I was so sad to eat something so tasty without my husband, so I did what any good wife would do, I brought some food home for him to try. It was soggy, but he enjoyed the flavors so much that we're planning on coming here on the weekend so he can enjoy his first fresh bite of a taco . We'll be back!
