Out came, first of all, a bowl of free hot soup (basically a flavorful tomato soup with macaroni) - a nice little surprise! Then came the free chips and salsa, crunchy and good. And then came the huge plate of food, with the taco on a separate plate! It was almost too much food, but I managed because the excellent flavors were all there. Tiny place with a few tables and chairs inside (they seemed to do a lot of takeout while I was there), next door to a bustling bodega (pro tip: lots of great homemade salsas to take home at the bodega!). Tacos Garcia reminds me a lot of many places I've been in Mexico: humble, unassuming spots that serve good food.

The OC Weekly strikes again. I just happened to pick up the issue where they featured the…read morerestaurant, well, featured the barracoa. Once they describes the BBQ lamb, served fatty with salsa and tortillas, I was in. It did not disappoint. The place is a whole in the wall catering to a Mexican crowd, bit that just tells you is should be pretty good. Since I had the dog in tow, I sat in one of the two outside tables. Food comes out very fast, and the lamb is exactly as advertised, flavorful and succulent, with plenty of fat (easy to trip off if you like, but why would you?). The plate is served with rice and beans, a small salad and a couple of what I assume are house made tortillas. I'll be back.

I've had this place bookmarked when I was going through a Mexican soup phase. The restaurant is…read moresituated in a small strip mall. There was no one in the restaurant when I came, but it quickly filled up after I ordered. The chef was very nice and helped me order a bunch of things to get for takeout. I came on Tuesday and got their taco Tuesday special: carne asada, al pastor, and pollo. I also got a carnitas burrito, a bean and cheese burrito, picadita, birria plate, caldo de pollo, and pozole. Big portions. Food wasn't too salty here. Tacos filled with meat. Average tacos. No salsa bar. They gave me a good amount of salsa for the food I got. Green salsa was good. Red salsa was bitter. Picadita tasted like a sope. Masa was good. Carnitas burrito came with rice, salsa and a ton of meat. Bean and cheese was a good size and less than $4. That's a value for this economy. Each burrito was customized to my liking. They also have specials for $10. Wow the rib meat in the pozole was so tender, juicy, and fell off the bones. There was a good amount of hominy. Soup was oily, a bit spicy, and not too salty. It came with cabbage, onions, cilantro, and lime wedges. The chicken soup lacked flavor, but it was the healthiest item on the menu. Not oily. It came with two chicken drumsticks, carrots, potatoes, and zucchinis. Soups came with corn tortillas. Birria plate came with rice, beans, corn tortillas, and so much meat. You get a choice of goat or beef. This place knows how to tenderize their meats. It was very tasty. If you want big portions, fair prices, okay food not overly salted, cool chef, big menu, and variety, try this place.

On this day, I found myself in North Orange running errands and came across Taqueria La Poblana…read morewhich I noticed for the first time. It is located in a larger strip mall, in comparison with the others in this part of town, and after a quick check on Yelp and the stars, I decided to stop in. When trying a new spot, I look to try menu items that might represent a good barometer for other items they have to offer. For Mexican food, I will look for a Carne Asada Burrito, a Cemita Poblana Sandwich or a Torta . . . especially if it's around the noon hour. Today, and after asking a few questions, I ordered the Cemita Poblana with Milanesa. To start, this is a Mom and Pop operation and the employee behind the counter could not have been nicer or more accommodating. It is not a large restaurant, but it is kept very clean and sufficient for a modest crowd of diners. The menu is displayed on screens behind their counter with some pictures of the items for reference. The Cemita Poblana was served within a very reasonable time and one thing that was very noticeable when it arrived is that it was actually assembled with care. After my first bite, it was evident that it contained all of the key ingredients to a Cemita sandwich. This included a fresh cemita roll, good portion of meat, long string cheese, avocado, a chipotle sauce, jalapeno and some greenery. Papilo, that green leafy vegetable with a distinctive taste, was not included. Besides the preparation, the avocado was perfectly ripened with just the right ratios of everything to make each bite as tasty as the last. The only refinement that they can make is to the Milanesa which could have benefitted by a little more golden breading as it was a bit light in this aspect. Following my meal, I had a chance to speak with the employee behind the counter and learned that they could make adjustments to orders. Their ability to accommodate might vary, but I would encourage you to ask. The menu offerings of Taqueria La Poblana was pretty vast with just about something for everyone. As indicated earlier, their service was really positive and helpful. This is a Taqueria that I encourage you to try. You will be served food that is prepared with TLC and that you will enjoy. Their food is prepared much like you might at a home where the food is tasty and inviting versus a what you would find at a chain restaurant. You will know what I mean once you give a try. Enjoy!

Ever since I moved into old town Orange Jalapeños has become my go to Mexican food spot…read more First the service is always stealer, some of the best service I've received at a "fast casual" style restaurant. All of the staff are extremely friendly and know my name and order. They are always accommodating and helpful. The food and especially the salsas are very good. The medium brown tomato salsa pairs very well with the Al Pastor. The meats are all good quality as well. My only gripe is the portions on the tacos feel pretty light compared to other tacos places I've tried. Especially for $4 a taco I feel they should loaded up and they barely have more meat than a street taco. Overall Jalapeños is a great local Mexican spot.
