    Spicy cucumber margarita
    Anna H.

    The good: everything we ordered was delicious from the chilaquiles options to the carnitas. The bad: it's incredibly loud between the live band and the background music. Service is very slow, and the servers don't feel a rush. There's also a pretty limited kids menu with no substitutions. Their drinks and food menus are overpriced compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area.

    Dry Al pastor, asada and carnitas tacos.

    Stopped in on cinco de mayo and I will say this place was packed. They had a live band and offered us tequila samples which was cool. Customer service was decent, but I do feel they were under staffed. The food was extremely dry. Also their prices weren't matching the quality on the menu and/or portions. I likely won't return simply due to food.

    This was my first time at this restaurant and I enjoyed it! The restaurant is brightly decorated with color, neon lights and portraits of people like Selena. Loved this! We ordered the margarita flight which came with peach, tamarindo,mango and strawberry. They are made well just a bit on the sweeter side. I ordered their chicken mole enchiladas that came with a side of their rice and beans. They were yummy. And I was actually surprised that their rice and beans were tasty. Overall I enjoyed my time here. It wasn't crowded at all during our 5:30pm reservation. We left around 7 and noticed the live music entertainers were just arriving. Might need to go back and check that out!

    Asi es!

    It's been a few years and Santo Remedio is still kicking ! I'm happy to hear and see this. Taco Tuesday 5-10pm was perfect . Live music , great service , the food was YUM and our servers Teo and Yasmin were EXCEPTIONAL! The house made salsa is to die for. Fish taco - the best and I highly recommend . I'll be back soon! Gracias !

    My granddaughter had her birthday here, and let me tell you--first time visiting and we rolled in like we owned the place after a solid one-hour road trip . Totally worth it though! Everyone was happy with their food (which is rare--there's always that one person), and no complaints at all. Safe to say we left full, happy, and already planning our next visit!

    While this place is very vibrant I wasn't a fan of their food and I disliked their loud music! There was only one other party when I arrived and the service was slow but friendly! Complimentary chips were good and the salsa was okay. Bon Appetit

    First Visit Was On 12/20/25. There Was No One At The Host/Check-In Stand. While I Was Waiting, A Couple Of Staff Members Passed By & Didn't Acknowledge Me. I Didn't Realize There Was Live Music On Saturdays And/Or The Weekends. It Was Pretty Loud, I Couldn't Hear Myself Talk!!! The Shrimp Ceviche (Marinated In Lime) & Shrimp Gobernador Tacos Was Fresh & Pretty Good.

    What a fun spot. Ambiance is colorful and has some popping music. Food is pretty good too.

    We added the center pieces and table center cloth. Restaurant proved black and red linen.

    Celebrating a birthday at this location is keen to a good time. Rating 5 for service, food, hospitality all around 100%. What a day spent with family and friends over 2 dozens folks joined us to celebrate a phenomenal woman. I highly recommend the back room to reserve for a well deserved meal and less disturbance from the main dinning area. My sister got a great deal "special" to reserve the back room with private doors. That was a bonus. The supreme part of this day was our mother's smile. We decorated the side door with balloons and back drop and a classic photo of mother. Very intimate decorations. The back room has beautiful ceiling floral arrangements and you can't miss the big pink sign in the back wall. Pictures to follow. I dropped a point due to the ridiculous high charge for my michiladas. We paid $30 for 2 -16 ounce glass with a modelo cervesa, plus a tip. It tasted well but I was not going to buy another! $26 dollars for an old fashion that my hubby paid, is out of control. The drink did not have a burbon. Budgets for an events are everything but I probably wont go back due to how the cost of two drinks were close to 40 bucks. Also the bill for the event had an addition mandated 20% tip. As a customer I choose the tip amount. I highly recommend to rethink alcohol beverage pricing. Enjoy the photos!

    Food was yummy but their chilaquiles that were spicy were way too spicy for me. I can usually eat super spicy. The other dishes were good. We liked the margarita flight. Pretty and yummy. They had fresh squeezed pineapple juice. They have great entertainment! We came for brunch with five girls. The mariachi diva group is awesome! Great for birthday brunch after church because they only have this on Sunday mornings. The corn butter cake was really good and they sang with signs to my sister for her bday. It's very loud in there but the decorations are so nice!! They have very tequila you could possibly want.

    Birthday dessert - cheesecake option - not very creamy, super dense, not worth the $20 charge.

    Came here for my bday with my man and our two children. The place was chill for a Tuesday, we had the taco Tuesday special and the fish tacos were phenomenal. Definitely be back for those. We also ordered the gobernador tacos and those were mid. The music was chill for awhile and then they transitioned to live music which was not as fun as the reggaeton they were previously playing. But on the plus side, they don't charge for song requests, which is a nice surprise compared to other live music we've experienced at restaurants. Since we were celebrating for my bday, they offered a bday dessert but failed to tell my man that they were charging him for them so he ended up paying $20 for some mediocre cheesecake - being charged wasnt an issue but failing to let him not it's not complementary should have been disclosed. Our servers were great. Very attentive, very kid friendly and we overall enjoyed our short time there. Highly Recommend the fish tacos & the pitchers of Margarita but be aware that not all flavors are available in pitchers which is odd to me. Overall will be back for the fish tacos and the margarita pitcher.

    My cousin chose this place for her birthday brunch. We came on a Sunday mid morning it's easy to locate and parking was not a problem. I thought the place was going to be packed since it was Valentine's Day, but on the contrary, it was actually very empty. Besides our table there was probably only 3 other tables that were taken. The place is decorated very much like a lot of other Mexican restaurants that I've been too the Calavera Dia de Los muertos theme, which I actually love! So it was very colorful inside the place but it is not very big. They do have a patio area if you choose to sit outside, that area also empty. We were seated right away and the server offered to take our drink orders. We ordered a Margarita flight to share among the four of us, and honestly, they were not that great. They tasted very sweet and artificial. The server brought us some chips and salsa and those were actually pretty good! We ended up ordering similar plates steak with rice and beans and they were all just OK for everyone ..not terrible but not great. We also had ordered the queso fundido appetizer and it was brought out after the main dishes. They had a mariachi that was playing for about 30 minutes and they were decent...I think they were also probably wondering where was the Valentine's Day crowd ..they stopped playing shortly after..I'm not sure why, I wish they would have played longer. I noticed that they did a birthday singing and sparkle candle w/ mini piñata for birthdays so I asked the server to have it done for my cousin, well, I'm not exactly sure what happened because the server was MIA for a while and I'm telling you the place was very empty. When she finally showed up, she just showed up with a dessert but no birthday singing or sparkly candle or mini piñata. At this point, I was annoyed with the slow service and the fact that she ignored my request. I spoke to another waiter and I let him know that I had requested for the birthday singing and candle and he said no worries I got you a few minutes later he came out with a dessert and the candle. So I'm not exactly sure what happened there but definitely not a good first impression. Overall, I would not come back here not only because of the incident that happened but also the food was just mediocre and the vibe was Not viben. 2 stars for mariachi and the male server.

The music was good, but the door to the street was open and the cars zooming by pretty much drowned it out. We had reservations that weren't needed, we showed up 30 minutes early and the place only had one other occupied table. Service was slow at the beginning, seems like the hostess was also the waitress, and bartender, and possibly helps in the kitchen. Husband had a michelada and it was very good, super lime forward. Tasty and refreshing! My iced tea was really good, very lemony. We wanted to try the corn cake pancakes but didn't want the whole meal, so we asked for one, were told it comes with two. It was $12 for two, instead of $17, which comes with bacon and eggs. The pancakes were yummy, but slightly undercooked and almost raw in the middle. Loved the sweet corn flavor, and the crispy, salty edges. They had plantain chunks on top, but they didn't do anything for me, they were bland. I would love to order the pancakes again, and I hope they are fully cooked next time. He had the Avocado Toast and said it was one of the best he has ever had, it's served with chorizo and queso fresco. He said the chorizo was great and he loved the sourdough bread. He ate both pieces, and he rarely eats an entire plate of food! My chilaquiles verdes with skirt steak was great! I asked for the steak to be medium rare, it was around medium, but still tasty. The portion was way larger than I was expecting, I finished about half and took the rest home. Their entire menu sounds great and I hope we come back to try more of their food.

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
