I really wanted to give Taco Mesa a better score because the service was great when we visited. We met the manager/owner I believe, and he was very welcoming and friendly! The food was lacking for us unfortunately. There just wasn't enough authentic flavor in any of our dishes. The taquito was just okay, but the chicken burritos we ordered did not taste good. read more

Such a cute spot to check out while waiting for my Tesla to charge! I absolutely loved the vibe--super welcoming and relaxed. The food was incredible, and the staff were genuinely so sweet and attentive. I ordered the tacos along with rice and beans (everything is à la carte, which I liked), and every single bite was delicious. You can really tell they put care into the food. I'd definitely come back again--highly recommend if you're nearby! read more

NO SEEE OILS here!! Yahoooo!!!! Tortilla chips fried in beef tallow?!! C'mon! The best!!! And a non dairy horchata ?? I also had the grilled fish here. Never disappointed. Love this place and the people behind the counter. Wish there were more locations serving without seed oils. read more

Taco Mesa delivers the kind of meal that reminds you why fresh ingredients and bold seasoning matter. We tried a shrimp and chicken burrito, a blackened shrimp taco, an al pastor taco, a stuffed jalapeño, and a side of beef tallow chips--and every bite hit the mark. The staff is friendly as well! We appreciate Angie's hospitality and assistance in selecting our lunch items. The shrimp and chicken burrito was hearty without being heavy, with perfectly cooked proteins and well-balanced flavors in every bite. The blackened shrimp taco stood out with its smoky spice and tender shrimp, while the al pastor taco brought that classic sweet-and-savory balance you hope for, packed with flavor and clearly made with care. Even the beef tallow chips impressed--crispy, rich, and addictive, the perfect side to round out the meal. Overall, Taco Mesa nails it with fresh ingredients, confident seasoning, and consistently on-point flavors. It's the kind of place you leave already thinking about what you'll order next time. We'll be back again soon. read more

I ordered the breakfast chorizo burrito. It did not taste like chorizo. It tasted like old minced meat.. no flavor. It was my first time trying this place because I heard good things about it. It honestly didn't have any flavor. Very disappointed. read more

Ok so I've held off leaving a review for this place until I tried it 3 times. Their tacos are some of the best street style tacos I've ever had. The quality of their ingredients is noticeable in each bite, from the meat quality and taste, to the cilantro, home made tortillas and onions. They give a lot of meat in their portions (burrito and taco is all I've tried). Back to quality; their meat is steakhouse quality, that alone sets it off. Customer service is great too, bring the food out and ask if I want any sauces. Random: fun themed bathrooms read more

I visited this new Taco Mesa location because I do love Taco Mesa, but they offered a $10 food credit as they were doing their initial advertising. I've been to many different locations, recently the one in Orange, and love that spot. I was disappointed though at the sparse menu- hoping they add more items in the future. Also, the kids meals here are basically $7-10 but don't come with any sides or even a drink.. So I am definitely not likely to get a kids meal here since I'd rather not pay $7 for a kids quesadilla by itself that my daughter may or may not eat. Considering the other locations offer kids meals with sides, I'd rather go to another spot to get more for my money. Food is always good at Taco Mesa, but prices here are a bit steep. I decided to get the entree quesadilla (to share with my daughter) and added chicken. But in the end, you pay $15 and no guac is included or anything else. I also got the chips, which my daughter inhaled. Those were awesome, and the salsa bar is pretty amazing as well. I'm not a cheapskate, but my family is on a budget and trying to be aware of what we spend. So I will likely be going to the other locations for bigger menu and a fuller kids meal selection. The staff were very friendly and helpful though! read more

Taco Mesa - Big chicken quesadilla, but would love some guac on the side. :-) - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

Don't like the taste of meat on tacos or the cheese was very taste to the family! Kids complained of the food and so did the adults

We love taco Mesa!! So excited to find a place that doesn't use lard in their beans. I came with my friend a month ago, and we've been coming every Monday for lunch since! I get the chicken burrito and it is 10/10. I love the salsa bar. My friend gets the steak plate and it is so much food for a good price. read more

Taco Mesa is unlike any other quick service Mexican restaurant. Everything is made from scratch. They use grass fed beef, tallow and olive oil, no seed oils. We ordered the tallow tajin chips, blackened shrimp tacos, blackened chicken burrito and fish tacos. Everything was super delicious and paired well with the salsas offered at the salsa bar. They only opened recently and don't have their liquor license yet. Please be patient and kind... most if not all of their staff are still in training. read more

Love this place so much!!! Also I have the SOS app and they stay WIDE AWAY from seed oils! The food is amazing too! I get the blackened chicken taco and the taquito pretty much everytime! The green salsa is amazing!!!! Support this place that goes the extra mile to use healthy oils! read more

Absolutely love this place. The flavors of the sauces, the chips, beans, all of it is fantastic. Top it off with the fact that it's all done a little healthier using tallow, avocado and olive oil only. Sure the price tag is a bit higher but it's worth it for the quality and taste. Whenever we don't know what to eat, we always end up here!! Recommendations: -chicken burrito (wet!) -Enchiladas -mini bean and cheese burritos -guac and chips..... the chips are dangerous!!!! I have yet to explore breakfast best believe I will soon!! read more

Great food! Chips were perfect. Blackened chicken taco, steak, and shrimp. All great! Mini bean burritos were delicious and perfect size.

Food was good - not extraordinary! Attendants were very friendly and knowledgeable. Restaurant is clean and contemporary read more

I really wanted to like Taco Mesa in Anaheim Hills, but my experience didn't live up to the price. I paid around $30 for a burrito and a taco, which felt pretty steep for what I got. Unfortunately, the food itself was just okay--nothing particularly memorable in terms of flavor or quality. For comparison, I've had much better meals at Rubio's at a lower price point, with more satisfying portions and taste. At this price range, I expect something that stands out, and this just didn't deliver. Overall, I'd say it's not worth the cost, especially with better and more affordable options nearby. read more

Great service and always great food! Fresh homemade tortillas and the salsa bar is delicious! And they have Taco Tuesday! read more

In Short, Happy coincident to find this place and it did not disappoint. Great food. Great service. Great Location. You should give it a shot. With a few more details, I was in the town center around lunch time and I saw this big green sign that said Taco Mesa so I decided to check it out and get a menu but when I went inside I decided to have it for lunch. They cook everything in tallow including their chips. I got the Fajita to go. Chicken and steak were good. Rice and beans are included. The smell was fantastic. Salsas were great. I got more from the salsa bar as well. The cheese stuffed Jalapeño was really good. Tortillas were a highlight. Delicious and made in-house. Service was great. The guy behind the counter was very helpful introducing me to the brand and helping with the menu. I had no idea they have 5 locations in the OC. So I'm guessing I will be back with the family. I also want to try the breakfast burritos. This is a definite recommendation for Anaheim Hills and Yorba Linda. read more

We had the opportunity to visit taco Mesa again here in Anaheim Hills. The owner is there and a very friendly person. He went over all of his food. We ordered and got our drinks and sat down and very quickly. Our food came out very hot and looked great. Let me tell you the food made here is a top quality and very tasty. The salsa they provide also is really good and comes in three different ranges. The interior has always nice and clean. I am glad taco Mesa came to Anaheim Hills and will be a customer always. They are that good. Give them a try and you will agree. read more

One of my weekly favorite go to for healthy Mexican food. Love this organic option! Chips and guacamole are next level with some kind of "special seasoning" on the chips. Can't stop at just a dozen! read more

Taco Mesa - Oversized Taquito Beef Blackened Chicken Taco - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

Went in today very curious of the authenticity of the burritos, the service was busy yet friendly and the ambiance was quite mellow. The burrito was amazing for a shredded beef breakfast burrito, I would say it is very saucy for my style but would order again. I am huge fan for a good horchata but I HIGHLY Recommend NOT to get this one. It tasted fermented and/or sour in taste. read more

I'm obsessed with this place! I've been here 4 times in the last month. It's kind of like a Mexican fast casual spot, with high-quality ingredients you can taste. My favorite items include the blackened chicken burrito, which is on the lighter side but super flavorful, as well as the chicken nachos. The shrimp, crispy chicken, and fish tacos are go-tos. And get extra of the green salsas and escabeche! read more

I FINALLY found an authentic taco spot in Northern Orange County that really impressed me...as I'm on a mission to try as many taco places I can in Anaheim. I'll definitely be back to try the chef-recommended tacos: blackened chicken or fish, along with the Oaxaca enchiladas to which I know because the chef came out to check on how everything was and recommended them. Such a nice touch and great service. He also explained that they make all their tortillas from scratch and use organic oils for cooking. The decor inside is super tasteful and modern, and let's talk about the pink bathroom...total vibes! Oh, and did I mention $6 margaritas? Always a win in my book. They have an awesome salsa bar with all the staples I've come to love from San Diego, Mexico City and Tijuana. Wish I wasn't on my way to a Pilates class as I would have definitely tried more food and margs. Highly recommend! Salud! read more

This place is just what we need in Anaheim Hills. I was in the shopping center running errands and decided to try this restaurant which recently opened. . The tacos are delicious. It was so good we went back for lunch the next day. We tried the steak, carnitas, and El Pastor tacos. We are looking forward to trying some other dishes. Give it a try. read more

I have been a regular at Taco Mesa on Chapman Avenue in Orange for more than a decade. The new location in Anaheim Hills is not nearly as good. First of all, the decor is very sparse. We had to clean our table off in the outside area. We ordered three items: chicken burrito, giant taquito and chicken soft taco. My husband enjoyed his burrito. Guacamole was the best part of the taquito. For six dollars, I had a blue corn tortilla, white onions, a sprinkle of cilantro and chicken on my taco ... pretty dull. Salsa bar was nice. I miss the more extensive menu, delicious desserts and agua frescas at your other location. I won't be back unless the menu changes. read more

So far the kinks are being worked out and this has become my favorite local Mexican food restaurant. Today is Taco Tuesday. I can't be any happier! There are great options and the liquor license must have finally come through, cause the mini margarita is fabulous. The Fresca watermelon is so refreshing. I chose a crispy chicken taco and a Pollo Mole taco along with the mini margarita off the taco Tuesday menu. I couldn't be more pleased. The crispy chicken taco is full of flavor and the perfect amount of crunch. The Pollo Mole taco is the perfect balance of a tiny bit of sweet to a nice Savory mole. My husband loves the shredded chicken burrito. I love that they sell Mexican Coca-Cola in the bottle, because I prefer cane sugar as a natural source of sweetness. The staff is super friendly and the owner is very informative. The ingredients are very fresh and anything fried is done so in beef tallow instead of nut or Vegetable oils. If you're looking for healthier, fresh, and delicious Mexican food, this is definitely a spot to stop and give a try. read more

Taco Mesa - Fabulous lunch outside - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

The staff here is super friendly and welcoming, and I even had the chance to meet the owner--really great guy. Service and atmosphere were both solid. That said, the food itself was just okay. I ordered a breakfast burrito that came out to around $18, and for the portion size and taste, it just didn't feel worth the price. The burrito was pretty skimpy and honestly mid at best. I wanted to love this place more because the people running it are awesome, but for me, the value just isn't there. read more

Love the food here! The fish tacos are some of the best in the area. I also really love their half-nachos plate... for when you just want some nachos to go with your tacos, but don't want to overdo it. I order this through the delivery apps quite a bit and it's always well-packed, but no complaints with the in-store experience either. :) read more

Taco Mesa - Phenomenal food! - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

This review is just my humble opinion. I know this is their soft opening and it shows. I hope and wish them well. First of all the ambiance is rather shocking. The floor is horrible for my taste. It looks like there was some prior flooring they just ripped off and left all the stains and awful stuff behind and this became their floor. I know it suppose to be rustic, but to me it looks dirty. The walls are plain white, although the manager said they are going to add plants. The food was typical of a fast food place not great, but not horrible. My husband liked his carnitas tacos. I had the traditional steak burrito. It was extremely salty. I only ate one quarter of it. The manager or whatever he was told me if I was chocked by the floor I was going to be extremely surprised by the looks of the bathroom. I did not go see because they have one bathroom for men and women and I definitely do not visit those. So I guess that is a good insensitive for people to go check out Taco Mesa and the bathroom read more

First time trying Taco Mesa for a late lunch, we arrived around 1:30. Front counter person was friendly but seemed unsure. New employee? Forgot to give us a soda we ordered. Had to remind her. Didn't get a picture of a taco we ordered but my partner said it was very good. Pastor Burrito was huge. Sadly not much meat - primarily beans. Which I like but really wanted to try their pastor and don't feel like I did. Very tasty and the pieces of pineapple inside was a nice touch. Had no idea burrito came with a side salad. Nice surprise - very fresh. No dressing on salad or side so I used a mix of salsas from the self service salsa bar. Which BTW salsa bar was in need of attention. Few of the dishes were empty. None of the salsa bar was labeled (ex: hot, mild, etc) and no bottled sauces available (ex: tapitio, Tabasco,etc) Took 1/2 of burrito home and had it for breakfast the next day with a fried egg and homemade hot sauce. Restaurant looked clean. Not too different from Rubios which previously occupied the space. Music was loud. Over all a good experience. Well probably try them again. read more

This place was terrible. Just opened recently. We went on a Taco Tuesday and we were the only couple there. Wasnt a fan.

I love this place. Especially the chips and the green sauce. Love it :) Thank you !The service is the best too.

It was good, but expensive for what you get. I know prices everywhere are going up, but everything seemed to be about $2-4 more than I would have expected to pay for it. I was lucky enough to get their grand opening $10 off offer, so the price was good using that. I ordered their Mexico city shrimp enchiladas, which were 2 shrimp enchiladas in green sauce, served with rice, beans, and lettuce. The good: there was a decent quantity of shrimp, which were cooked well, and the green sauce was tangy and tasty. The rice had a really good flavor - they had what I think were dried cranberries in the rice, which added a sweetness that complemented the tangy sauce. And the beans were good. I got it to go, and it was all packed up well to survive the ride home. The best part was actually their salsa bar. It was clean and well stocked. Their limes were sliced into usable sized pieces, and their carrot cauliflower mixture was delicious! On the border of Too spicy, but not there. The not so good: the rice wasnt quite cooked enough - it was hard which was such a shame because the flavor was really needed with the tangy sauce. Also, in the tiny salad they gave, 2 of the leaves of what I thought were lettuce were actually bay leaves. Not edible or pleasant to bite into! Overall, it was good, and if they have another coupon or special, I might see myself going back again to try their tacos or quesadilla. But for full price, I think there are better places at the same price point, or even less. read more
