So many options, and some that I've never seen anywhere else before! I first wanted to try their carnitas tacos. They're pretty basic, but good. You'll need to add salsas and stuff to these. I should have tried their most unique El Super Papa. It's a baked potato topped with butter, meat, cheese, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. It looks super and filling! Next time for sure! read more

Omg. The best ever. Fantastic service and food is delish. Very generous servings. My fave are the tacos and the aqua frescas. Run, don't walk read more

Came here for lunch after a long bike ride. Ordered the breakfast burrito with asada and it was good but I felt like it was better the last time I got it. Green sauce is bomb though. Would come back again since my friends seem to love this place. read more

I've been told about this place and decided to check it out. All the pictures on Yelp and their instagram looked so good, making a decision of what to eat was difficult but i went with the chile relleno burrito and it did not disappoint . I got mine with suadero, and i messed up thinking it was beef but was pork instead but still good. Salsa bar is awesome, very small and to the point. I truly enjoyed the pickled onions with some lime juice and salt, better than the rabanos for sure. Salsas are delicious and hot! Service was great, food was taken to our table, and the cashiers were helpful, telling me about the IG. It's spacious inside, clean and bright. Def will be coming back read more

By far the best burritos and tacos in all of Orange County. They have the best cooked meats I have ever tasted. One of the few places that offers suadero as an option. The queso dip, something I normally don't get, is actually amazing and I have gone back numerous times to get it. The chile relleno burrito is superb and always hits the spot. The tacos are next level. The two ladies at the counter have always been super nice and welcoming. The restaurant itself is very very clean and has a nice salsa bar on the side. Highly recommend if you are looking for something great. read more

A great places for some Mexican food, yum! We got the Taco Chico Burrito with Al Pastor and Torta with Birria. Both were very good and I would definitely get again. There is jalapeño in the Torta, which I wasn't expecting! Just a heads up for those who can't eat spicy. I would probably get 2 additional tacos next time since we were only content with our meal, but could have ate more! Make sure to get the goodies from there bar (salsa, radish, lime, etc.). Service was great! It was a busy night. There was a lot of space to wait inside. There was plenty of parking outside! We will definitely visit again soon! read more

Hidden gem in Tustin bold flavor tacos that are high in quality and affordable! Taco chico is located in a small mall in Tustin, interior is slightly retro with red interior. They have various meat and fish choices, burrito, taco, and others. I tried the Sonora taco with carne asada ($5) and my Bf got the carne asada and Suadero Taco ($2.95 per taco). They have a self service salsa and condiments bar in the front of the restaurant. Food came out within 10 min. The Sonora taco was packed with beans, guacamole, and crispy cheese on the bottom, a heavy dish so one was enough for me, carne asada was seasoned well. My BFs taco was delicious and seasoned well! The picked onions were a little too vinegary and tortilla isn't the best I've had but for the value it's super dank! Overall very satisfied with the tacos here! Would love to try the other tacos my next visit! read more

We had gone here several months ago when my hubby was wanting some good chilaquiles - which are not easy to find these days. I can't remember if this spot popped up on Social Media or if I saw was going through Yelp, but their Chilaquiles looked pretty good so we gave them a try. I also ordered some chicken and potatoe taquitos (against my better judgement *we have not been real lucky with chicken taquitos - they always seem to lack in flavor. Well, my hubby enjoyed his chilaquiles - they weren't the best that he's had, but they were good. And we would definitely pass on the taquitos next time. There really wasn't much to them - and the chicken definitely needed to be seasoned - it was real bland. Just the other night, we were having a late night snack attack and I felt like having some good solid order of nachos. Since this spot closed late (at 9pm) we decided to call in an order. I couldn't find nachos on their menu, so I just called to ask. The girl that answered told me they did have nachos so I asked what they included. A red flag went up when she mentioned the first ingredient as cheese sauce (minus one additional star for that). What I had in mind was nachos with melted cheddar, some beans and meat with pico de gallo, sour cream and guac. Cheese sauce out of a can does not belong on nachos. I went ahead and ordered nachos - but without the sauce and just shredded cheese and al pastor, and whatever else it came with. Unfortunately, I think they rely on the sauce to melt the cheese because the nachos we got had shredded cheese that was not melted which was kind of a disappointment. The guac was tasty and the toppings would have possibly had more potential if the chips had been warmed and the cheese was melted. So I guess that my quest for a solid order of nachos continues! read more

Taco Chico - Nachos were just OK - would have probably been kinda better if cheese was melted - Tacos Near Me - Tustin, California

Taco Chico is a solid taco spot that specializes in street tacos for $3 each ($2.50 on taco Tuesdays). The tacos here are decent with generous servings of meat, but the quality is quite short of the authentic taco trucks/stands around the area. The meat here lacked a punch and flavor that you would normally get at a taco stand, and was on the dryer side. Don't get me wrong, the tacos weren't bad, but just not the best. They have a wide variety of meats -- your normal fixings like polla, carne asada, and al pastor, plus specialty meats like cabeza, buche, saudero, and even birria. They also have an extensive menu of other items like burritos, plates, taquitos, etc. so check their menu online. There is plenty of inside seating and parking. You order at the counter and the food is delivered to your table. You can find better street tacos "on the street" for cheaper, but if you are looking for a safe and friendly environment, Taco Chico will do the trick. read more

Taco Chico - Cabeza and buche tacos ($3) -- good portion but a little dry - Tacos Near Me - Tustin, California

I got the surf n turf burrito with al pastor as the meat option and requested less rice. Overall, good size burrito, flavorful meat, and good proportionate amounts of the different components. I like a good meat to carb to everything else ratio and find that a lot of times there's not enough meat and way too much of everything else, but this burrito was filled so that each bite was satisfyingly meaty and with all the components. I also liked how the cheese was melted onto half the tortilla, so it was kinda like a quesadilla vibe that wrapped the burrito on one side. Something I didn't like however were a few pieces of pork that were unchewable so I had to spit out. I enjoyed that they have a self serve stand for salsas, limes, pickled onions, and radish, giving me the freedom to take as much as I need. My personal favorite is the green (mild) one because of the flavor. The other two, especially the hot one, are much tangier and bitter(?idk if bitters the right word) in flavor. In the end, would definitely come again for this burrito. read more

Very nice customer service! The food was great!! The Birria and pastor tacos had so much flavor! We will be back!!

My new favorite taco spot in Tustin! The cabeza tacos are so flavorful and tender and service is always fast and friendly.

The food is amazing. Flavorful and portions are great. So tasty. My fam craves it. Their service is kind and courteous. Definitely worth it.

The bacon breakfast burrito is perfectly portioned with fresh ingredients and crispy tater tots for the perfect crunch. Good service and atmosphere. Definitely a new favorite breakfast in Tustin! read more

This place is amazing. Food is amazing. Prices are consistently low.....you can get away with dinner for two for under $15 and walk away stuffed. We've probably tried half the menu and never had something we didn't love. This gives San Diego tacos a run for their money. We've been coming here for years and always wonder why it isn't packed so we figured it was about time to leave a review. 10/10 I would eat here any day. Please keep it up!!! read more

Saturday dinner, pretty busy but open seating inside. Got a 2 chicken taco combo, and a few tacos with various meats Taco combo was good value, a lot of chicken on the tacos and rice and beans are pretty standard, comes with a drink. Tacos. I liked the suadero and asada. I thought the cabeza was dry the Al pastor was dripping with grease. Overall pretty good for the area and the restaurant is clean. You may find equal or better tacos from stands/trucks but this is an easy place to grab a quick bite to eat. Saw some Taco Bell employee's buying tacos here so I think they are legit. read more

Food - decent but not winning. Food is good but not to the moon. I've had better genuine Mexican food including birria tacos. They sell tacos, burritos, military, spies, torta, quesadillas, street corn, churros, and a host more including breakfast. I had their birria taco and cabeza taco. You should try and see for yourself but I'm ok. Service - order at the counter and be called. No frills. Ambiance - well lit and spacious. Good seating indoors and a few outdoor seating. They have classic rock music playing. Verdict - give them a shot to support this business pero no 5 stars. Pero 3.5 stars maybe? read more

Really kind of a 3.5, but I'll round up because it's probably one of the nicest Taco Tuesdays places we've been to recently and the staff was really friendly. Definitely some good and some ok mixed in. The Taco Tuesday special eligible tacos were ok, but not super special. We had the chorizo, the Al pastor and the chicken. The chicken was actually really not good tasting. I would not recommend that one. The other two were decent and I would get them again. We also got the elote, but that was too much mayo, or something that tasted more mayo-ish than any other elote we've had before. But the tacos that brought it up in rating for me was the tacos gobanador, that we're not part of the Taco Tuesday deal. They were really nicely crispy and the shrimp inside was well seasoned and cheesy. I would 100% get those if you get anything here. read more

Clean place including the restrooms and friendly staff. The food was average. I choose a taco combo. Two chicken tacos served with rice & beans and a drink for $12.50. I went with pineapple Agua Frescas which was really good. It was about a 25 minute drive from Irvine during traffic. Overall it was a good meal for a fair price. read more

Came here after getting a massage next door. Ordered a chico burrito with carne asada and two Al pastor tacos for take out. First thing I noticed immediately taking my first bite was that the meat is really bland. It was the same for the carne asada. I've had better tacos and burritos. I liked that they had fresh watermelon juice and other fresh juices. I was initially excited to see a taco restaurant that was near my home but I doubt I will be back. I would rather drive a little farther for better food. The service was quick. read more

The best shrimp ceviche! They make it fresh and you can tell, the portion size for the price is amazing and the service is always quick. You can order over the phone & pick up. They also have good asada tacos, corn, and chicken too but personally I'd go here for the ceviche any day. Clean location with plenty of indoor space. read more

Can you fall in love with a restaurant?? Cause this place just keeps making me fall in love with them more and more. I already love their tacos, but this taco salad OMG! You get the ingredients of a taco + tons of greens in a crunchy tortilla shell. And the dressing LOVE!! I would totally get the dressing to add to my tacos. I didn't know you could get a food coma from a salad until now. PS - photo isn't mine it's Taco Chico's from their IG. We ordered to go, so it didn't look as pretty and wouldn't do this beauty justice. read more

The Pastor California Burrito was bomb If you happen to be around 17th street this place is a must.

Love their food! We've also used them for small parties. Their party packages are such a good deal and they come with a lot of food. All our guests loved it! read more

Location is clean and neat. The girl that helped me was very helpful. She was pleasant and answered all my questions since it was my first time. I got a variety of food to take and try out with family. I was excited to go home and try all the different foods. Unfortunately, there wasn't any flavor and it was blend. From all the different meats, guacamole, rice and Queso with chile it was not great. Everything needed seasoning and there was not much meat. Lastly meat was dry. We actually end it up tossing the food and order some DoorDash. Maybe it was an off day for the kitchen but I wouldn't recommend this place. The one thing hands down is great service and cleanliness. But the food isn't great. read more

Convenient location on 17th street, east of 55/Yorba; same center as Flame Broiler. Although I don't live in Tustin, I'm there nearly every week. I'm, therefore at Taco Chico nearly every week. All the food is delicious and well prepared. If you're a fan of Taco Bell, this isn't your place. We've ordered quesadilla, tacos, mulitas, loaded fries, burritos, and family style tacos with rice and beans They have a salsa bar with mild, medium and hot salsa, plus lemons, pickled red onions. They have self self drinks, including horchata. You order at the counter, they call your# when food is ready. If they're not too busy, they bring food to your table. Nice, friendly, helpful service. They get busy at lunch time! read more

Love this taco spot. Good prices and they are discounted for taco Tuesday too. The al pastor is my favorite meat here, lots of flavor.

My wife and I were craving Mexican food on New Year's Day, and Taco Chico was one of the only places open for dinner. Their shared parking lot has plenty of spaces, so finding a spot was easy. When we arrived, only one family was dining in, and there was no line, so our food came out quickly. The carne asada fries were fantastic, but the real star was the tacos with carne asada. They were double-shelled soft tacos, packed with flavorful meat and paired perfectly with lime. It felt like stepping back into the street taco scene in Mexico--so rich and authentic! We're already planning our next visit! read more

Once again ooops taco Chico did it again! Street tacos at $2.45 each a steal especially when they put a good amount of meat! It's a steal the suadero so delicious and fresh and just hmm hmm the rajas con queso I mean that cheese that raja that grilled onion that fire! Don't stop and the plain carne asada got it for my coworker because I'm gonna make a believer out of him! If you haven't tried this place and you live in Santa Ana I have no idea why because you should have tried it by now! lol look don't take my word for it just go try it for yourself you will see what I am talking about! read more

If you like shrimp or carne asada or even BOTH. I highly recommend getting the surf and turf Burrito with shrimps and carne asada. I have only tried the burritos here and all of them have been delicious. Carne asada burrito, shrimp burrito, Surf and turf burrito with carne asada and shrimp and surf n turf burrito with al pastor and shrimp. All are super delicious depending on what meat you are craving for. There's also a salsa bar, with green salsa, which isnt too spicy, red Medium salsa which has just the right amount of heat, and the spicy salsa, which is actually pretty spicy. I highly recommend coming to Taco Chico, on Tuesday there are specials for taco, and Wednesday there are special for burrito. read more

As soon as you walk in, the establishment smells amazing! We asked the girls at the cashier what she recommended and she recommended the Mulitas, which are photos I had posted. We did eat there inside the establishment. I liked the art work on the wall and it matched up with the taco wrappings. I had ordered one Mulita with pastor (bbq pork), and the other Mulita I had carne asada (roasted beef). Inside the Mulitas it came with onions, cilantro, and guacamole. Personally I have small hands so to me they were big. I could only eat two. I also had their Agua Fresca in Cucumber lime. Agua Fresca is translated Fresh Water but for some they know it as Spa Water. Anyways, the drink was so refreshing and paired so well with the food. The establishment looks big enough for a family up to 5/6 ppl, but definitely not for a big group. What's also another benefit is that, you can order ahead and it'll be ready for pick up. I am not sure if they have catering, as I didn't scan the menu board, which I forgot to picture, but pretty sure you can call and ask. Overall, I'm DEFINITELY coming back for more food items. read more

Bomb , order tacos ( asada, Al pastor ,birria ) all super good, great flavor even without salsa. The guacamole was really nice too with the pick on top. Horchata had the most flavor I've had, most places it's very diluted and milky this was all flavor. Last but not least the street corn not pictured was sooooo good, I asked for it cut off the Cobb and they gladly did ( I don't like it on the cob same with wings on the bone, it's too much work lol ) The restaurant is big so plenty of seating and the customer service was great as well. I'll definitely be back to try everything else they have a big menu with lots of choices. And I can say pretty confidently it's all gonna be very good. read more

I never post reviews but I picked a random place after going to the urgent care nearby to grab a quick bite before I go home because I was starving, and this was such a nice surprise!!! I got three tacos- birria, asada, and al pastor and they were all so good!! They were all very juicy with a generous amount of onion and meat. I was especially impressed by the al pastor as it didn't have that pork-y flavor that some places do and was so well cooked, and so so refreshing with the pineapple. The only thing that I probably wouldn't get again is the elote, but that could also be personal preference since I like it with a lot more chili :) read more
