1PM on Feb.17th I received our to-go taco order and got salsa for my 3 employees. Either the manager or owner (5' 2-4" clean cut male approx in his late 30s or early 40s) approached and tapped my shoulder to say, "Take only what you need." WTF? Did I go overboard? I thought for a few seconds... {Wait a min, but I'm one of the least wasteful people around. As a bizns owner managing hundreds of staff with multiple retail store chain for 25 years, I pride myself on efficiency regarding supplies and being cost conscientious without sacrificing the experience, especially being in the customer service industry as well as earning 5.0-star reviews in my hospitality business for the past 7 years. 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. read more

Everything is good! Fromm shrimp tacos to bean and cheese burritos to their @mannys special" bfast burrito, everything is solid! I had the machaca y huevos with beans for bfast, I'll be back for it tomorrow. The Salsa is good too! I'm here every other week read more

Read reviews & this was on my way home. I can't tell you how many times I've driven past and never paid attention to where this was located.! The reviews were good here on Yelp so I gave it a try! I decided to order one of each one crispy hard taco Carne Asada. When grilled fish and fried fish. Each of them were delicious I'm always in the mood for a fish taco and I'm always in the mood for a hard she'll crunchy taco. Love that they give you sour cream and guac without asking. Friendly, fast service, good food. What more can you ask for?! if I'm hungry and I'm in the area I will definitely stop again! read more

Taco Grill is our neighborhood secret spot for great Mexican food! Tucked into a little strip mall next to a laundromat, it's easy to miss this hidden gem. The service is fast and friendly. The environment beach casual with festive decorations. I recommend the blacked fish tacos, or on a day when you're really hungry, a blackened fish burrito, wet with the red sauce. Ay yay yay, your stomach will sing and not cry! Today I just got my favorite snack - Asada Fries modified to beans instead of meat. I use 7 to 8 of the fresh salsas from the salsa bar, to complement the great flavors and textures. Everything here is delicious, you can't go wrong. Enjoy! read more

You know when you've been at the beach all day, and you just want to devour a bunch of tasty fish tacos? Well, this place is the spot. Found this gem and couldnt be happier with everything. Prices are good, food is phenomenal. Given that we only ordered fish tacos, but damn, I will only get fish tacos from here. I can't imagine branching out from those from this spot for a while. Salsas were good. The service was friendly. Spot was clean, cute outdoor seating. Highly highly recommend for FISH TACOS read more

I have dined here a few times and also ordered take-out. The cashier is always friendly and the prices are very reasonable. I like that they have the salsa bar for the guests. It's a small dining room with mostly patio seating and take-out. The food is delicious too. read more

Small shop, love the food and vibe. Get in and out quick. Nice covered patio, perfect for a breakfast burrito and a Michelada (which they do well). read more

*** $7 minimum to use credit cards *** Taco Grill is a long-standing local favorite seafood taco shop that has been around since 2000. [Parking]: Easy and free parking within a small strip mall. [Salsa station]: There's a self-serve salsa station with red, green, and house salsa. The red salsa was fairly spicy but flavorful while the others were just okay. [Menu]: It is a bit unusual that the menu doesn't list prices for each item. However, this taco shop is best known for its blackened fish taco, blackened fish house salad, and shrimp tacos. *** Fish Blackened Soft Taco ($2.75) & Grilled Shrimp Soft Taco ($3.25): The blackened fish taco had more flavor compared to the shrimp taco. While both were solid, the fish taco still didn't quite match up to the ones at Tacos Baja in East LA. I also got complimentary tortilla chips for my take-out order. I also want to note that the tacos come with double-layered tortillas so customers will feel more full, but I still prefer single-layer tortillas. *** A good spot for a quick and convenient fish taco fix at a reasonable price. If you are looking for the decent fish tacos without having to drive 15+ minutes away from Westminster, then this is probably your best option. read more

Great food and great people. Best street tacos without the street. I highly recommend Taco Grill.

Damn Taco Grill, where you been all my life. Corner of Newland and Heil obviously. Actually this place popped up a lot in my search for office breakfast burritos but they don't open until 9... A little too late for the office. But I finally made it here for takeout for the family and wow, were we impressed. First off, yes the prices aren't posted but not to worry, they are stuck in 2022. $10.75 for a wet CA burrito? Where you gonna find that? 3 beef taquitos with guac AND sour cream - $5.65. Blackened fish taco - $2.75 each. Damn Grill. Food is extremely delish and so very reasonably priced. Free chips included and they're thin and crispy. Orders are pushed out super fast. A little bit of a drive for me but so worth it. Go there. Get food. Eat it. read more

Taco Grill - No inflation or tariffs here! - Mexican Near Me - Westminster, California

Everything. That's right. Everything. When you ask me what's good here? I really mean it. We started doing a game where we'd pick something random on the menu, just to see if it was a miss. That's how good everything is here. From the carnitas plate, to the tacos a la cart and the Camerones that remind me of the day my husband proposed to me after a day in Bajamar. The service is also everything - they've got a great team dynamic and always seem to be talking about what's next in the kitchen, what needs to be prepared or what to turn over and make fresh. The cherry on top has to either be the custom made salsa bar or every single Mexican soda you can think of. Dine in, outside or takeaway. The ambiance is really all because of the food and how it feeds your belly and soul. read more

Tried out some tacos since it was close to home. Sat outside and loved the cool breeze. Luckily, I got here before the lunch rush. The loaded Carne fries were definitely undercooked, not our favorite. The quesadilla and quesabirria Carne asada were great. Good customer service. Great side options to garnish your food with.

Taco Grill - Quesadilla, Carne fries, and quesabirria - Mexican Near Me - Westminster, California

This family-run spot, is serving up flavors that'll make your taste buds salsa dance, and it's got a vibe that screams "welcome to the fiesta." If the owner is there he usually will offer the kids a lollipop or even sit down with a regular. Let's talk about the star of the show: Manny's Breakfast Burrito. This thing is my favorite breakfast burrito ever, and I don't say that lightly--I Stuffed with fluffy eggs, melty cheese, crispy potatoes, beans, bacon and asada, it's wrapped in a flour tortilla so soft. It has just the right balance of savory and satisfying. It's the kind of burrito that makes you late to work because they don't open until 9am. The salsas? Perfectly dialed in for us gringos who want flavor without setting our faces on fire. Their salsa bar offers mild, medium, and spicy options, with the mild being a crowd-pleaser that adds a zesty kick without needing a fire extinguisher. The tacos are another home run, whether you're chowing down on grilled fish, al pastor, or carne asada. They're packed with juicy meat, onions, cilantro, and that glorious salsa, all hugged by a corn tortilla that's basically a flavor delivery system. My kids? They go feral for the fries--crispy, golden, and seasoned just right. My only issue? The chips are just okay. They're fresh enough, but they lack that crave-worthy crunch or seasoning that makes you reach for more. But since I eat everything else like its my last meal, I don't mind that I am not stuffing myself on chips. The vibe at Taco Grill is pure SoCal charm--think hole-in-the-wall with a clean kitchen, a small patio, and staff who serve ice-cold Pacificos with a smile. In short, Taco Grill is Huntington Beach's go-to for a breakfast burrito that'll change your life, tacos that slap, and fries that make kids happy. read more

I AM ALLERGIC TO PORK! My boyfriend is not allowed to eat pork either, we made an order over the phone and specifically asked to not have pork in our food, a breakfast burrito still had pork. What I had ordered was huevos rancheros and wasn't told it came with pork, Since I am allergic I called the place politely to ask if I may pick up a new plate and burrito since they both have pork. This lady at the register immediately stated asking the cook and arguing with him that why does it have pork and although I am going out of my way to call because I am allergic to it she kept saying "well he says it doesn't have pork" I offered to bring it in and she said "sure ,but I know it doesn't have pork" Very rude so I came in and she started name calling me and my mom that isn't even present. I will be suing this establishment due to her treatment and lack of awareness to the situation. I could end up in the hospital due to this and I now have to re order food elsewhere and spend mor read more

2nd favorite place for asada tacos. adobo taco grill still reigns supreme but theres always a loooong line there so this 2nd place is my go to. Big fluffy tortillas, still falls apart if too much liquid gets absorbed. Wouldve liked more onion/cilantro, sometimes its a sprinkling ratio to the meat. Usually its very decent, sometimes tho you get grisly unchewable bits. Complimentary bag of chips but lately theyve been very "stale"like yet super oily to whatever they touch so i pass. The mild salsa is awesome, albeit watery usually, low fire at first but will creep up on your mouth. By asada taco 2 my mouth will be in firey agony so will need a break, then when the hellfire subsides i return for 2 more. Blackened fish is a nice alternative, appreciate the sauce and cabbage slaw that comes with, it cuts through the asada heaviness. Be very careful if youre spice sensitive to the onion/jalapeno thing. im like ooh i love smothering everything in onions, looks like salt/pepper onions ill add a bunch! Those jalapeno pieces are either completely harmless or deathfire, they all look the same. One bite no danger, next bite imdead. Need ice cream or glass bottle coke. Cashier guy always seems a bit gruff, im scared to ask about the flan but when you yelp this place, the primary picture is literally the flan that i came here for :(( Menu has no prices since the covdemic, everything has a white paper taped over. but really why bother for very decent food? Parking is ultra hit or miss. Sometimes not a single spot in this shared laundromat, smoke shop, chiro, dentist, nail strip. And the smoke shop has its "reserved" spot. at least one pickup is illegally parked. And some kids on bikes hanging out in the alleyway. Other weeks? no line and multiple spots open. idontunderstandddddd! Card min $7. Taco tues is $1.99 ea / reg $2.75 (dec 2023) New card minimum is $6.50. Taco tues is 1.99 (aug 2023) read more

Ok this place gets 5 stars for the Al pastor alone.. I haven't even tried the rest yet and ate the Al pastor taco on the way home in the car but that was easily one of the best Al pastor tacos I've ever had. Ambiance was fine and they had a salsa bar, which is a plus and the Diablo salsa was pretty tasty. Person taking orders was nice and thorough. I'll update after I try the rest and add pics of the other stuff but I doubt it will change how I feel about this place.. it is my new Al pastor spot that I have so desperately been looking for in this area for years! Good job guys, good job. Update: ok, this place is the best Mexican food in Orange County and I'm fat and Mexican is my favorite food so I know what I'm talking about. Ate my shredded beef wet burrito and it was the best I think I've ever had. This spot is amazing!!! read more

Grilled Fish Burrito is my favorite! Came here randomly went looking through yelp for a fish burrito. Small shop with a few seats on the inside and a patio outside. Looks like a home for local people who like good food, not full of influencers making reels kind of vibe. I could eat a fish burrito every week. It's nicely seasoned, has beans, rice, not dry and full of cabbage. Also a salsa bar where you can get whatever you want. Their prices have had to go up with inflation (you can see white stickers on their menu), but from a pricing perspective its not through the roof for what you get! (less than $10 for burrito, salsa, chips) Grilled Fish Salad is not my favorite. Somehow the bottom of the box was full of water probably from damp washed lettuce. read more

The food here is fantastic. So far my favorite Mexican restaurant in Huntington Beach. I come here once a month to eat their amazing wet green sauce burritos. I like the casual ambiance. On this latest trip I got the shrimp rancheros and it was great. I love how consistent good is their food. The plate comes with rice, beans and avocado. read more

Best bean and cheese burrito around! I haven't tried anything else, but I definitely will be coming back.

The spot for taco tuesday. Food is great, table may be hard to find but that's how you know it's good. Definitely worth a trip

Best blackened fish tacos around! They are fast , nice and affordable. I eat here a least once a week.

5 years later.... This place is still amazing! The flavors for the price are unfound anywhere else. Authentic Mexican food and excellent customer service all in this hidden gem. The vibes are all here from Hispanic music playing in the background to the cute decor. I've been coming here for over 20 years since I was a little girl.

Such a cozy restaurant with outside seating. Prices were affordable and taste was flavorful. I ordered the carnita, al pastor and carne asada street tacos. My favorite out of the three was the carne asada. Had a good chew and was so delicious with the green sauce. The al pastor was a bit too spicy but overall, delicious. read more

Absolutely love this place! I've literally never been disappointed here. The food is always fresh and full of flavor. The fish tacos are hands down the best I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned, and paired with just the right toppings. And don't even get me started on the shredded beef tacos. So juicy and crunchy, they melt in your mouth. This is my go-to spot for Mexican food and it never misses. read more

If you're in the mood for some delicious and satisfying crunchy beef or chicken tacos, look no further than this spot! From the moment you walk in, you'll be greeted by the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling protein. The tacos themselves are a work of art, with perfectly seasoned beef and not at all dry chicken, crispy shells, and an array of toppings to satisfy any craving. Whether you prefer classic toppings like lettuce, cheese, and sour cream, or something a little more adventurous like guacamole or salsa, you'll find everything you need to create the perfect taco. One of the things that sets this spot apart is the flavors. The beef is very tasty like I said seasoned well and expertly cooked, never dry like other spots. You can tell that the fellas in the take pride in their work. In addition to the delicious tacos, there are plenty of other menu items to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for a burrito, a quesadilla, carne asada fries or some chips and salsa, you'll find everything you need to satisfy your cravings. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves a good crunchy beef or chicken taco. This is my go to spot, it's close and fast. Priced fair for OC about three dollars for a taco. They have outdoor seating which is nice and a few tables inside but they are mostly a to go spot. read more

Taco Grill remains a favorite stop for lunch. Today was kind of different. The faces of staff were somber. The old man that so ably does the cooking had no smile. The young man taking our order was preoccupied. There is usually more help, but she was doing other chores. Yet, we were only the second customer until we sat down at a convenient table by the salsa bar. Then they got super busy. For me it is the usual Bean and Cheese burrito, one to eat at the table and one for home later..... and yes, I like the three mashed potato taquitos that had a mountain of shredded lettuce and cheese on top. The lovely missus loves the crunchy hard shell beef tacos with a bottle of the Mandarin Jarritos. We sat down and had a couple of scoops of salsa, but they did not give us any chips. Oh well, let's eat. Taco Grill... all their prices are covered up... probably making a new menu board with updated prices.... is Taco Grill considered a fast food place?? read more

Best! Love this place! The tacos are amazing! Food is fresh. The staff is friendly! We go here atleast once a week!

This place used to be our go to spot. What happened? They must have new owners or new management because the last two times I've been there they have forgotten something in my order. The first time, I turned back and they even questioned me about my missing item. The second time, I didn't realize until I got home so I just had to accept the loss. We are so sad that our "reliable" good eats spot had gone down hill. The food doesn't even taste good anymore and the portions have shrunk. I get that things are more expensive but taste should still be there even at a smaller size. We are now on the search for a new spot. read more

I was looking for a good taco place and finally found some authentic Mexican food. The tacos were all good and I especially liked the salsa bar to choose from the green, hot or mild.
