    Chicken 3 Chik'n Tacos
    Allegrah S

    Was told about this place through a friend who said verbatim "their tamales are better than probably any if not all tamales you've had, no matter what they were made with" Being Mexican and knowing what a damn good tamal tastes like, I decided to see for myself. We came on a Saturday around 5pm. There were a few people inside but not too crowded. We ordered two loaded boat tamal plates. One had spinach/crema, and pork, and the other had chicken and beans w/rajas. We also ordered a piña agua fresca since it was the special. The total was around 52 with tip, pretty reasonable. Food came out promptly and we were impressed with presentation alone, but the tamales were truly delicious. My partner and I each had some of one another's, I was partial to the two I got (chicken/ beans w/rajas) but the pork and spinach were great too!! The masa was moist, the ratio to filling to masa was relatively great, and the assortment of toppings was incredibly in quantity, quality, and presentation! The spicy and mild salsas that accompanied our plates were phenomenal in flavor, I ended up drenching mine in the spicy salsa and then taking my partners mild one too, so good! The piña agua fresca was great too, very pulp forward though, if you prefer a smoother consistency. The rice and beans were also great. Overall, the portion size was phenomenal and we left full. We loved this place so much we came back the following day prior to a concert and got a tamale plate with the chicken and pork as well as 3 chicken tacos. The employee recommended the pineapple date tamal so we added one of those as well alongside an horchata. Tamales hit the same if not better, the second time. I'd go back daily if I lived closer. The chicken tacos were phenomenal texturally, taste, and portion wise! The pineapple date tamal was phenomenal, however I wish there was a preface regarding there being walnuts(?) inside. Not a problem for us regarding allergies , but it was surprising upon our first bites. The horchata was very cinnamon forward. I definitely liked it but have had vegan horchatas that are comparable. Needless to say, I found a new spot that is affordable, ethical, and genuinely has delicious Mexican food, vegan or not! Their tamales are EASILY top 3 for me! Only ones that got them beat are the ones my family makes, but I'm sure even they will approve of these tamales once I drag em here lol. I will be back, way too soon, if I can help it!

    Perfect food! Creamy horchata and refreshing agua fresca! Fast friendly service, fluffy tamales with delicious fillings. I ate here the last 2 days in a row and I will be back over and over again. Thank you Shane's!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]you can tell that this place is well loved by the community, from the warm welcoming atmosphere to the friendly regulars that recommended their favorite items to us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tucked away in a plaza with other vegan restaurants, Shane's tamales bring authentic flavors and south-of-the border charm to orange county. The BRT bowls, with pair a tamal with frijoles, rices, salsa, crema, and pickled onions work together in a refreshing yet hearty combination. The green chile "chicken" is bright and zingy, while the "pork" is richer and aromatic. Both pair perfectly with the smoky salsa. If you get the chance to buy aguas frescas, that plus the tamalaes are an unbeatable combination!

    This place is legit for vegan tacos and tamales. It's almost like the real thing. Many options to choose from and very good quality. You definitely need to get the taco plate and tamales on the side. The service is very friendly so you'll enjoy dining in as well as takeout if you're feeling it. Stop by if you're looking for a good vegan Mexican spot!

    Vegan tamale deliciousness at Shane's. The food is so tasty and extremely filling! I had the combo plate with 2 loaded tamales and rice and beans. Both the spinach and crema and "pork" red chile were so so tasty. Rice and beans were also flavorful and a big hit with my 5 year old. The plate was packed with plenty of food that I ended up with leftovers and everything was super hearty. Will be back and will bring all my vegan and non-vegan friends!

    While shopping in the area, I found this cool tamale shop and decided to stop by. Upon entering, hubby and I were warmed greeted by restaurant staff and enjoyed the upbeat music. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We liked the relaxed atmosphere inside the restaurant, tons of inside seating, artwork for sale, as well as an area to play games while waiting for your order to be ready.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hubby asked if any menu items contained nuts and was told that the creama and pineapple with dates does contain nuts. After hubby looked at the menu, he ordered a BRT bowl with green chik'n,, without the creama with pickled jalapeños as well as three tamals to go which were green chick'n, red "pork," and a bean and cheese. Hubby ate the tamals and raved about how well wrapped they were as well as how flavorful each were. As hubby ate the BRT bowl, he said it's the best thing he's ever had. It was so good that hubby ordered another BRT for me to try. When I ate the BRT bowl, I liked that the refried beans were creamy, the rice was fluffy and well seasoned, the tamal was with mildly spicy with creama. After enjoying the friendly atmosphere, the tamals and BRT bowl, hubby and I will definitely plan to visit this restaurant the next time we're in the area.

    It's not very often you eat something and love it so much that you can't stop thinking about it even though you're really full I was curious to try Shane's after seeing the positive reviews and was beyond impressed with the food I wanted a try a little of everything I got the BRT bowl with the pork tamal and I got the three chicken tacos The food came out really quick. The BRT bowl has a lot of little thins added to it. Some crema and pickled onions. I was hungry but loved it. The vegan meat didn't taste off putting and the masa was nice and tender The rice and beans were spectacular and the beans had a little smoke to them I wasn't full after this because it was so light even though it was quite a bit of food I go the chicken tacos next. They may be salty for some but i loved it. I like my food well seasoned The tortillas were soft and warm with a great corn flavor I felt like I was Anthony bourdain eating tacos in Mexico City!! The baby limes that came with it looked they were grown at someone's house The salsas that come with your food are also incredible Be patient with them because there's just one person working there but it's worth the drive and wait. You won't be disappointed Probably the best bite of food I've had in years!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is small. There's a larger table, a smaller table and an area facing the window[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's all what makes this place so special. I feel like I was eating at a grandmothers house[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Vegan tamales! It's rare to see a place do this. And they do it well. I ordered the loaded boat tamales plate and chose the chick'n green chile, "pork" red chile, bean and cheese with rajas tamales. Employees are super friendly here. As I was buying this to consume a few hours later, they were nice enough to offer putting the toppings on the side (guacamole, vegan crema, picked onions, cilantro, salsas). Also the food was ready super fast. Not a long wait time at all.

    Fooood is amazing ! I recommend the bean and cheese with rajas. It's super creamy and soaks into the masa making it moist and delicious. I love the energy in this shop, they are always welcoming and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's usually a tv playing something and they have a few tables for dining in. Very chill place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They are quick with service as well, especially when there's only one person behind the counter. They also took our order almost at close and it was very generous of them to do that for us. They want to feed you

    So happy they finally opened a storefront! I've been a fan since the pop-up days. I hadn't had these tamales in three years and they still taste just as amazing they still HIT. I even flew in from Washington State to try them again, and it was totally worth it. I'll definitely be back and bringing my family. Thanks for making such delicious cruelty-free food!

    I had an excellent experience at Shane's Tamales! I went in with a friend and wasn't sure what to get. The person behind the counter was very helpful in breaking down their menu, sharing what the most popular dishes are, as well as their own favorite tamal flavor. I ordered the Guajolota and went with the recommended Nopal Tamal inside, and my friend got the Loaded Boat Chik'n Tamal. We gave in and tried the Chik'n Tacos as well. Everything was absolutely delicious! I was especially impressed by the Chik'n Tacos. The soy protein had the perfect texture, incredible seasoning, and a fantastic smokey charred flavor. We will definitely be back!

    Huge fan of Shane's tamales! If we could, we would come here weekly! They are so good; vegan or not- the best around! My husband is a carnivore and he loves them and says they are the best tamale he's ever had. That's saying something. This time I ordered the tamale bowl that comes with rice, beans, guacamole, crema, onions and cilantro. It was phenomenal!! So dang good and fresh. It was pretty filling too. I would order that again! The chickn' and green chile are my go to. The bean and cheese is tasty as well! Service is always excellent. Shane is so kind and personable. You can see him working hard and making those tamales in the back. Ambiance is very casual. There's a couple of tiny tables to eat at; but not much of a dining in experience there. Best to grab some tamales to go! We ordered a half dozen to take home. They reheat really well too! :)

    I tried to go here. Parked, walked around and around in circles. Never found it. It's this business still open? If so, how do you find it?

    Im not sure if they still operate out of that location but if you follow them on Instagram they post their weekly pop-ups! I've caught them at several different vegan events in the are. It's worth following them, their tamales are amazing!

    Live very close, tried it, Solid!…read more I was hungry and a fish and shrimp taco are BIG! As their menu explicitly states, and they are priced accordingly, around 5-5.50 each. I got fish, shrimp, and a potato taco since supposedly that was good too, it was very crispy and flavorful, my favorite though is from The Corner in HB for a mashed potato taco ;) SHRIMP: think this was primo - shrimp felt warm, big, juicy, flavorful, there was hotsauce on it as the menu states iirc. Might consider getting TWO of these instead of the fish. FISH: solid! Comparable to the ensenada fish tacos in fullerton I think? Or maybe that one is slightly better, been awhile. Overall - solid spot, not the cheapest but the quality is good and they don't skimp on protein. Not as good as tacos los cholos but that's further away, this is next door and again - they specialize in different meats!

This place has a wonderful selection of Mexican favorites to choose from. They are also a tad on the pricey side but I think that's just par for the course in this recession unfortunately. I ordered the shredded beef taco and one fish taco. Both of them were so delicious that I had contemplated getting two more- but I decided to just return on a different day and try some other things. The lady behind the counter was most helpful in answering questions and navigating me through their menu. They will hand you a whole bottle of salsa to use at your leisure which is just lovely! The salsa verde was one of the best I have ever tasted. I'm coming back here tomorrow, and bringing a friend.

Decided to drop in and was delighted to know their Taco Tuesday special is $1 street tacos for a select handful of 8 protein fillings and $2 for 6 other choices. Even their regular price is still very reasonable. There was definitely a line around 6pm but it moved quickly. Love that they also have a self service taco condiments bar and area on the side of their truck where you can top your food with the freshly sliced or pickled veggies/chilis and slather on various taco sauces to your heart's content. Especially loved that they use a rotating gyro style meat grill for some of their meats. I also noticed they had another truck/van parked nearby where one of the staff would go to replenish some of their supplies for their taco truck. What an efficient way to keep up with demand by having a mobile/secondary vehicle that you can use for storage of stock to keep up with the high demand. I loved all the street tacos that I tried: carnitas, fried fish filet, al pastor, carne asada. Flavorful and done right! Definitely recommend this spot any day of the week when they're open, but especially for their Taco Tuesday specials.

Combo #2 - Tacos Dorado and Enchilada plate with rice and beans. This comes with a hard beef taco and a cheese enchilada. I upgraded to have chicken in my enchilada for an extra $1.50. The enchilada was saucy and cheesy and stuffed with huge chunks for chicken white meat. The taco was in a crunchy fresh fried shell and packed with shredded beef, lettuce and cheese. The dish came with so much rice that I couldn't finish it. I know it's a basic, standard dish, but they did it well with generous servings. Chips with Guacamole - They pour on the guacamole over the chips and there was plenty so that each chip had plenty of guac. The chips were lightly salted corn chips that were medium light thickness. Great if you are craving chips with guacamole. Enough to share as a side, or enough for one really hungry person to polish off along with a main dish. The restaurant staff was friendly and the food came out quickly and my dish was steaming hot. I will come back to try something else along with their horchata and jamaica drinks!

We learned that the owners here are the original cooks and siblings of the late owner of the first location, which made the experience feel even more meaningful. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted. Since it was our first visit, we took our time looking over the menu, and the cashier was incredibly patient and never made us feel rushed. We ended up ordering a burrito combo, a chile relleno combo, a hard taco and enchilada combo, two taco combos, and a few horchatas. The portions are definitely generous, and everything we tried was packed with flavor. The restaurant itself is clean, spacious, and has plenty of seating, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. While we were waiting for our food, one of the owners came over and chatted with us about the restaurant's history. He shared that after the original owner passed away, many of the longtime cooks and staff decided to come together and open this new location, continuing the recipes and traditions they had been serving for years. Hearing that story, along with the genuine warmth and hospitality we experienced, made us appreciate the restaurant even more. It's not often that you find great food paired with such sincere customer service. They made us feel like regulars from our very first visit. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, generous portions, and a family-owned business that truly cares about its customers, Los Grandes Originales is definitely worth a visit. Wishing them nothing but success!

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.
