I do prefer fuller pieces, but the flavor and so much meat I was absolutely impressed. Everything tasted fresh. The shrimp was crunchy. Perfect amount of rice and beans. A ton of salsa was given as well. Fish taco was very good and again ample amount of meat. Two tortillas to hold that shark together! BRC burrito was lived by the vegetarian in the household. Great flavor and very authentic tasting was her comment. Now the street tacos flavor was good. But the chop meat was so fine I felt like a baby being fed steak. Bigger bites people! Having said that the flavor was still good. And wrap them so they don't fall apart in the packaging. Overall five stars! Super friendly service. Proving is fair for what I'm getting. I'd pay 15.00 for that surf/turf burrito. Well done Chico tacos. Oh and they have a lovely stone sitting outdoor area to enjoy your meal. Or inside is great too. See you tomorrow! Gotta have that burrito!

The service was extremely slow-we ordered to go and each taco was in its own box which was a huge waste of plastic overall. The salsa bar was clean and stalked but overall not worth the price of the tacos. The meat was a little dry and there wasn't much to them even with the added cheese unfortunately mostly tortilla.

I'm going to start this review by saying we go here often and we love the food. Quality is great…read moreand flavor is there. The drive through can take a bit , but it's not fast food so that has never bothered me. My one gripe, and it's enough for me to knock 2 stars, is their stinginess with salsa. Only Mexican restaurant I've ever been where they are vehemently stingy with their salsa. Order chips and pay close to $5 after tax and you get a solid amount of chips, but they only allow you 2 salsa and half the time they barely fill the salsa containers (honestly sometimes like 1/4 full which is less than an ounce of salsa). Again, it's literally the only Mexican food restaurant I've ever been to that limits you on salsa and it's not even reasonable. And this last time I went finally sent me over the edge because they charged me extra for salsa because I wanted more and I finally agreed to just pay up only to get home and realize half the containers were less than half full. Honestly unacceptable. And on top of that I'm a frequent customer that will tip a few bucks every time even though I'm not dining in and I continuously get screwed on the salsa.

*HALAL FRIENDLY*…read more Already planning my next visit! So so soooo good, great price points, excellent service, more than enough seating available indoors, and just a great experience overall. I ordered the crispy taco birria and quesa taco birria and both were 5/5 for sure. Next round I'm definitely getting at least 3 quesa taco birrias -- the sizes were honestly decent but it was so good I know I'll need at least three. I am also really excited to try the rest of the menu!!

We will definitely come back! The lady was super pumped to have us dining there for the first time…read moreand she helped us order. The asada, carnita, then queso birria tacos were all finger licking good! Then that red salsa was the cherry on top. The only call outs we have were there was fat pieces on the meat (personal preference not have that) and the beans had a smokey flavor.

The burritos are packed next to grilled vegetables which made the tortilla soggy (recommendation: separate the grilled vegetables from the burrito). The burritos was packed with ingredients but very bland. My husband said his chicken burrito was fine and would give it 3 out of 5 stars, too. They also offer 3 different sauces, too. Glad we tried it.

It is next to a gas station. It looks like a pretty popular place during the lunch hour. It's a smaller place inside, but they do have an outdoor patio. We were able to find a small table, not too far from the front counter. Ordering at the front was easy. The staff was friendly and quick. We could see the cook grilling up the meats as we placed our order. There were at least five different salsas to choose from as well as cucumbers and a chili oil at the self-serve salsa bar. I noticed a customer in front of us ordered a kids plate which included two street tacos and rice and beans. That's what I ended up ordering with Carne Asada and chorizo. There were four or five proteins to choose from for the kids plate. I loved the grilled meats with the char flavor. It was delicious! Everything was well seasoned. I wish I would've ordered a third or maybe even a fourth taco because it was that good! I will definitely come back many times and it's going to be on our lunch rotation for sure.

Taco Gutierrez you have my whole heart!…read more After having moved to Santa Ana last year this has become my go-to spot for tacos close by. It's hard to find a good Taco Tuesday but they do a great job helping the community and keeping the prices $1.50 for basic meats like pollo, asada, and al pastor. I personally love my lengua and this truck has some of the best I've tried! It is a bit pricier but definitely worth it given the taste/quality. A couple things about the condiments--green sauce is spicier than you think, red one is more of a salsa and not that hot. Radishes are unfortunately not very crunchy/juicy at this location so I don't get it as often as I would at other taco spots. If you're ever in a rush, they do phone orders AND DoorDash. I've done all the methods and quality stays up there each time! However, if you do wanna enjoy your tacos right after they're prepared, you can always sit at their tables next to the truck. They have quite a bit of dining space and I've never seen it too crowded to the point of having difficulty finding a spot to sit. In terms of finding the truck, you just need to turn into S Hathaway St. Very close to the train tracks. I park in any free space they have there, since the businesses are usually closed after 5pm (which is when the truck opens).

Came here on a Tuesday. Place wasn't too crowded and we were helped promptly…read more $1.50 tacos are a bargain these days, and they were reasonably sized. I got 3 asada and they were great!

I prefer the tacos over the burritos here, and specifically love their al pastor and carne asada. The chicken tacos are great too, and so is the nopal tacos. For burritos, you can't go wrong with the California burrito. They have an amazing salsa bar with a lot of different varieties and heat levels. I tend to get every type of salsa and put a little on with each bite! The service here is excellent as well and I will definitely be back as often as I can.

The churros are so warm, soft crunchiness and the glaze (condensed milk goodness) it comes with is heaven!

We remembered how tasty it was. Today I ordered the torta de asada. It comes with cheese , guac, lettuce and order of side of fries. She got the enchilada , (I think / see image). I was disappointed, my mom paid so I had to pretend like it and eat it. I think the meat sits out all day and just gets reheated. The meat was old and tasted raw. The kind of taste when you bite into an undercooked burger and you get that smell of rotten flesh? Wasn't pleasant . The toppings were ok.. they have a salad bar but I don't think they tend to it for hours. Taste was bland , I asked my mom's how was her plate? The enchilada , she said it was so so. The only good thing here were the fries ... I don't think we will come back here again. I like my food fresh tasting . The price was not worth it for 1 enchilada and 1 torta. Over $30 bucks . Nah.. could have settled with a 7-11 hot dog drink and a bag of air (chips). The meat could have been fresh. The orders are fast. There were 3 guests after us, their food was prepared within a minute. The food is already laying outside just ready to be heated...huge pass. Clean place though . And ok friendly service.

She bought the business many years back, she said. We used to use their catering service when I was at my previous firm. Lynn's husband always delivered the food on time. Our office staff loved their tacos and the quesadillas. Stopped by today to pick up some tacos for dinner. Their salsa bar is very fresh and constantly replenished throughout the day. Of course, I forgot to snap some photos before I left. Just realized that as I drove off. The Original Taco Factory never failed me. Delicious as ever. The steak is very lean, which I really like. We do not like corn tortillas so I get them with flour tortillas. They follow instructions exactly as ordered. Only drawback is their parking. It only has a few spots and a bit of a challenge to park at lunch hour. The place is also hidden off the street.

Hole Mole! How have I never been here?!…read more I think Rubio's is a little better, but they are much more expensive than Hole Mole... so the next time I have a craving for a taco or burrito, I'll go here instead. A few of my friends have been telling me about them for years. We placed our order online for pick up. Unfortunately, their tablet wasn't working properly. The manager came out and wrote our order down so we did have to wait about 10 minutes... but they did their best and we appreciated the excellent service. We ordered a BRISKET BOWL $10.29, al pastor taco $2.29, Ensenada fish taco $2.89, asada taco $2.50, FISH BURRITO $11.80 + 1.50 extra for guac ~$13.50, and French fries $3. We were stuffed and our meal was only $35! The brisket bowl was surprisingly good- 4.5 stars. It was nice and smoky, and came with your choice of flour or corn tortillas. We got the flour, but once I unwrapped it from the foil, it was quite dry. The al pastor taco was okay, but very dry- 2.5 stars. The asada taco was not bad- a little dry but flavorful- 3.5 stars. The fish taco was good but not crispy. I would get it again for Taco Tuesday, but Rubio's is much better. The best item was the FISH BURRITO- 5 stars. The fish was tender and the filling was seasoned perfectly, and the added guac gave it soo much FLAVOR! I've got to try their other burritos. We also got French fries and they were pretty good- 4 stars. Huge portion- probable enough for 3-4 people! We were so hungry I forgot to take a picture lol. Would get again. Looking forward to their WAVE WED: Baja fish tacos $2 Baja shrimp tacos $2.50 Shrimp ceviche $8 They also have POZOLE on the weekends. The inside is small but there is seating on the side of the restaurant. Happy eating! Yelp review #2- 2026
