Chicharrones
Natalie Z.

This place is one of the best (if not the best) Mexican markets I've been to, and that is saying a lot for someone who grew up in SoCal. We have been coming here for a while for their chicharrones (MUST try!) but decided to branch out and get lunch here today. Some of the best carnitas I've ever had, and everything is super reasonably priced. When you walk in, the smell of baked goods takes you to another place! I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu items and baked goods! The molcajete salsa and ceviche in the grab and go fridge was also absolutely perfect. Service was friendly and quick!

carne asada tacos

Rubalcava's is a small Mexican grocery store located in Placentia. It is actually both a small grocery store, and also a panaderia/taqueria. Inside the the grocery side of the store is a carniceria, where you can buy all kinds of meats, chorizo, and marinated meats. You can buy all kinds of breads inside the panaderia. If bread is not your thing, they have tacos, tortas, and a bunch of other things on their menu. They are most famous for their flour tortillas. They won the OC Weekly's award for "Best Flour Tortilla" in 2012. Their famous flour tortillas must be ordered in advanced. The person who makes it only makes the tortillas a few days a week. It took me almost a month of calling before I finally coordinated my schedule so that I could try their flour tortilla. For me, it was a let down after I finally got them. I didn't think they were that good. Their meats looked good. Most markets use flap meat for carne asada. Rubalcava's uses skirt steak. I picked up some marinated skirt steak. The meat was thinly sliced, so it cooked really fast. The crane asada was good, but, I thought. It had a tad too much of lemon flavor. While there, I had to go to the restaurant side of the market to try some of their tacos. After all, the wife and daughter weren't with me. The tacos were good sized. It was filled with carne asada, onions, and salsa. The regular priced tacos are $1.25. On Taco Tuesday, it is about 75 cents. Along with the taco came carrots and jalapenos. It's a nice little market. I would come here more to get their meats and food. But, since the daughter dislikes Mexican food, I gotta sneak here when I can.

I came here and got a few things a total of $23, they gave me a little tiny receipt in which I couldn't even see what I bought. When I got home I realize they charged me $53 instead of $23 so I had to drive all the way back for a refund. Also they didn't want to put the money back in my card and said that my only option was to get cash but I refused. I was never even offered an apology. ‍

Holy smokes, this is the best Mex in town! We ordered the El Grande sub Asada, Que Rico plato, corn…read moreesquites, birria tacos, a pineapple margarita, and Pacifico on tap. Everything was absolutely superb! You can really taste the quality of their house-made tortillas and house-marinated meats. Plus, the portions are huge! The restaurant was packed, and it is easy to see why. The vine is super cool with lively high energy social atmosphere! Since it was so busy, we initially ordered our food to-go because there were no open seats. However, the coolest guy at the register (I forgot to ask his name!) went above and beyond. He asked us to wait a moment and personally got a table ready so we could dine in. His phenomenal service, knowledge, and great personality truly topped off our experience. All the servers were outstanding!! Watch out Que Vida, your new regulars!! See you tomorrow!!!

My wife and I had dinner at Mi Casita Restaurant in Fullerton, and we had a wonderful experience…read more The service was outstanding, and our server, Katie, was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. My wife ordered the fajitas, and I decided to try the Diablo Shrimp. I enjoy trying new and different foods, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Let me tell you--the name is no joke! The Diablo Shrimp was incredibly spicy, truly living up to its name. If you love heat, you'll definitely enjoy it. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service made the experience even better. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend Mi Casita to anyone looking for great Mexican food and excellent service.

This location has been on our list of places to try for quite some time. We had never managed to…read morecatch it during business hours and always ended up at nearby spots instead. Luckily, that finally changed and we caught them open! This is a true family-run business, and if you haven't tried it yet, you should. We ordered a 2-item combo with a cheese enchilada, shredded beef taco, rice, and beans, and it was amazing. We also got the chicken à la diabla, and I can honestly say I've never had an à la diabla sauce that good at a restaurant. Everything tasted homemade and so comforting that it felt like leaving a friend's house after a meal his mom made. The vibe was fun, the service was great, and we were lucky enough to have the son taking care of us, which made the experience even better. Thank you for an amazing meal and great conversation. We're looking forward to creating many more memories here. This is officially our go-to spot because, quite frankly, the food here is on another level.
