My girlfriend got 2 sopes de asada and she said they were 10/10 delicious. Amazing Hole in the wall restaurant . I ordered two tacos de chorizo con todo and they were bomb . The service was fast and restaurant was in clean condition. Friendly employees highly recommended stopping by and getting some grub. read more

There are taco places you tell your friends about, and there are places you tell your best friends about in confidence. This taco place is one you tell only your best friends about, because you don't want everybody to know how good it is and you will want to keep it all for yourself. This review is my attempt to rectify this impulse. Consistent, delicious, and a good value. Those handmade tortillas are addicting and crave worthy. Service is fast and friendly. Ambiance is street vendor meets hole in the wall vibes. I think it's 3.5% if you pay in cash? Best papa loka around (sorry, Tacos Los Cholos). read more

We bought several tacos and the potato thing from Brea Tacos Don Goyo Friday night. I ate two tacos 1 carneasada, and 1 al pastor taco, added the green hot sauce. They tasted good. But, within a few hours after eating I got severly ill. Super bad stomach cramping, nausea, all muscles super weak. I was bent over holding my stomach, and very weak for 4 1/2 days. All through Mother's Day during visits with kids and my baby grandkids. Finally better today-Wed May 13th 2026. I usually never text bad reviews but I felt this is pretty legit. Maybe need to wash lettuce better or something, I don't know. For many years we've gone through a drive through in La Habra to buy tacos somewhat like these and never got sick. Going to stick to that place for close by street tacos. read more

Bring cash wi the you they charge extra for each time if you cards or Apple Pay. The al pastor was yummy, I asked for extra Pineapple. The carne asada was taco was loaded with meat. Homemade tortillas made them even better. The mulitas was good but we took it home so I think it would have been better if you eat it there. The burrito was good but it got so soggy when. We got home. They have a variety of salsa but there weren't as tasty as I had another olives but it was still a good taco. Oh the tostadas is the same size as the tacos just a fried shell. read more

Me: the best carne asada I've had as an LA native My husband: the best tortilla he's had at any taqueria This place is doing it right and to believe they're in Brea! The carne asada was so flavorful and rich. I went with the nacho cheese on my fries based on other Yelp reviews and I'd say it was the right choice. The tortilla is also S tier. They're the perfect thickness and the tacos are the perfect size. The red and green salsas were both good. They have a self serve salsa bar with pickled onions and some lime as well. I think a little more onion and cilantro on the fries and tacos would've been great, but now we know to ask next time. Would recommend bringing cash to save some extra cents per item! Casual, indoor seating available with high chairs. Shared parking in lot with other businesses. Our new favorite local taco spot! read more

Place was clean and functional, decor on the walls and signage. Very much spot to grab good food, family friendly, date night, come solo, and get it to go spot. Food was really good! Fresh and hearty portions. The chicharron taco with its soft fatty skin in the green mild salsa was tasty. Tortilla held everything together! The Al pastor was Smokey and sweet top with a sliver of pineapple. Meats were moist and can taste each of its flavors on its own even with multiple meats consumed. Really good food for a rainy day. Certainly will return to try more and eat more! read more

This taco spot was literally like 4 mins from my hotel so I decided to stop by. I had ordered 2 asada tacos. They were big and filled with meat but my asada was so dry I had to drown it with so much sauce! And they were not cheap!! I'd probably not return. read more

They have a great variety of meats and drinks. It is a hit and miss for me. Some days it's delicious and other days it's not seasoned right. I frankly do not like the tortillas. It overpowers the meat flavors. I tried their agua de piña and it had a lot of the pineapples thorns in it. Not very pleasant to drink it having to spit them out with every sip. The service is wonderful tho. Always friendly and fast. read more

First time here and everything tasted really good. Nachos was my favorite, it has that good cheese sauce and chips that doesn't get soggy. Tacos are amazing and don't skip on the salsas, the red/orange one was super spicy but good. The place is small but plenty of seats. Plenty of parking too. We were greeted right away and the lady was nice and went over the menu. We will come back to try others. read more

A friend recommended to try this for lunch. The place wasn't fancy packed when we got in line to order. In the kitchen I saw two tower of meat being grilled (al pastor and top sirloin). The staff busy prepping the food as the customers waited for their order. We had to scour for a table to eat. The lunch rush did mean we had to do some self service in cleaning the tables. Ordered 4 tacos (top sirloin, carnitas, buche, and lengua) and the Goyo fries with asada and al pastor. The tacos were served with guacamole and lots of meat on fresh tortilla. The fries were piled on with lots of meat guacamole and cheese. I left super stuffed. Cool place to try. read more

Amazing tacos! Even has a fresh salsa bar offering variety topping and sauces - among my fav is the super spicy habanero salsa. Sirloin beef topped tacos or burritos are a must! read more

Don Goyo is my new favorite taco joint! I love their handmade corn tortillas, they're thick enough so you only get one per taco. They're one of the best I've tried, and it's what really elevates their tacos for me. I also think very highly of their pastor. I usually don't like pastor at most places because they tend to be on the sweeter side. But here, it's well balanced and not sweet. I also appreciate the top sirloin option. You can see both the sirloin and pastor on the spit here and can taste the fire. They load up your tacos with generous amount of meat as well. Overall, a very solid taco joint, arguably the best one in this N. OC area. read more

Wow great tacos! I had the Al Pastor and Lengua. Guac sauce on top was fantastic. Also inside was a salsa bar with multiple classics. The service was fast. You can even watch them prepare your food. Murals on the walls and photos decorate the interior. I am glad I found this place and will be back for sure! read more

Went there for lunch today around 1:30 PM with my wife. There were about eight people ahead of us when we arrived, but plenty of seating available. Ordered asada tacos, tripa tacos, and the Goyo nachos with asada. Both the asada and tripa tacos had great flavor, and the handmade tortillas were a nice touch. The salsa was on point too. The nachos, however, weren't to my liking -- the cheese was a bit overwhelming and too salty. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try the other tacos on the menu. read more

We tried Tacos Don Goyo for the first time on Friday and was pretty happy with our food! I had the carne asada fries, which was loaded to the brim. Tons of the flavor coming from the sour cream and guacamole. If you order their chips, they also fry them fresh and hot. Pretty low key spot tucked in a small plaza. My tip if you are getting the fries is to go for the nacho cheese rather than the white cheese. Also don't sleep on the orange and red salsas at the salsa bar, they both have a nice spice. And the best part about getting the fries is you can air fry any leftovers! read more

Quick service and friendly staff. The asada mulita and green salsa are the way to go! I loved the grilled onions (extra charge, but worth it). Rating it a bit lower because they charge more per item if you pay with a card instead of cash, which felt unfair. Also, seating is very limited, so don't count on finding a table during busy hours. The ambience is very chill. People just go and eat. read more

Tacos Don Goyo Brea - Tacos Near Me - Brea, California

The tacos are filled with generous portions of protein and made with handmade tortillas. We ordered sirloin (35¢ upcharge), asada, tripa, pastor, and chicharron. The tacos were all good, but the sirloin was my favorite, followed by the chicharron. They're served with cilantro, onions, and guacamole unless you ask them to omit these toppings. The self-serve salsa bar offers three different salsas: red, green, and habanero. The habanero was the best and really enhanced the flavor of the meats. Refrigerated soft drinks and aguas frescas are available for purchase. No booze here. There is also refreshing, ice-cold cucumber water on the counter, which is complimentary. It's a smaller taco shop with older, uncomfortable, sticky tables, so we ate quickly and left. The music was so loud that I could barely hear the cashier. Overall, we enjoyed the tacos, however, the meats were overcooked and a tad dry (with the exceptions being the chicharron and tripa). I would return if I ever found myself in the area. read more

Just happen to be in the area from Long Beach and wanted to try some food while here. We looked up and decided on this place. I ordered 2 asada tacos and 1 tripa as the cashier told me it was made crispy. In fact the tripa is crispy and probably better tasting than the asada. However my 2 asada tacos came out and the meat was cabesa. Luckily I know the difference because if someone didn't know they would've just ate it. These kind of mistakes shouldn't happen!!! The place is small and tidy. read more

This was my second time and both times the tacos were not hot. This time they poorly served my tacos. When I opened the tray it was a complete mess. Meat and guacamole spilled out and I have to put everything back inside the taco. Idk why but both experiences I didn't appreciate. The other tray of tacos was almost still intact. We both are unhappy. The tacos would be good if I didn't have to build it back myself read more

Tacos Don Goyo Brea - 2 tacos - Tacos Near Me - Brea, California

This is our favorite place to get burritos and carne asada fries from. They put things together once you order. They can modify and make things for your preference. There's plenty of meat options but they do offer vegetarian. Side of onions and jalapeños is a must. Prices are affordable and portions are massive. One burrito alone makes us full to the brim if I eat it in one go. There is a salsa bar with three salsas as well as limes and cucumber/radish, they have sauce containers and little baggies so you can take as much as you desire. Personally love their salsa verde the most, it is medium style. They get busy fast and there's a reason, very nice staff as well. read more

Came here for a late night snack so got 1 taco which brought my appetite back up surprisingly. I ordered the Al Pastor, it was tasty - the tortilla tastes freshly made, the meat was tender, and the sweetness of the pineapple completed it. Worth a mention - the sauces, radish and cucumber on the side bar! The service was quick and there's plenty of seating. In a dark lit plaza but, easily to find and tons of parking available. Will be back here for another late night taco craving! read more

Back at it again for another restaurant review! Location: good location. Kind of hard to see from the street because it's tucked away in a plaza. Plenty parking spaces. Interior of the Restaurant: cool small spot. Although it's a bit small, it's clean and well put together. Workers: Soo far everyone's friendly and helpful. Food: Excellent. I don't know about you guys, but I think one of the most important recipe to good Mexican food is the flavor of the meat. If the meat tastes good then everything else will fall into place. Their meat tastes phenomenal . Oh I love their sauces too :) read more

Honestly a great taco place in North OC. For the price, the portion sizes are good. Asada tacos had just the right amount of char and al pastor was also pretty solid. I do love that all the tacos already come with the guacamole added. It's a little loud with the music so it may not be easy to talk if you do have a larger group. Would definitely come back for the food though. They also have a 3.5% cash discount so bring cash if you can! read more

I don't leave reviews but had to on this place. Best tacos I've ever had (top sirloin) and not over exaggerating. I've had a lot of tacos in my years and I don't eat steak ever so I was planning on taking it off and giving to my husband but nope I loved every bite! This was the exception, amazing! Not the best pic, took it after we both had a bite and were dying had to share with my adult kids. read more

Soo happy to find a delicious local and authentic place for tacos! I was curious about what all the reviews were talking about when they mentioned the quality of the meat, and I have to 100% agree. The expectations were low for authentic tacos in Brea, but WOW these tacos have me feeling like I don't need to go to San Diego for Tacos El Gordo anymore! All of the tacos are loaded with guacamole, lots of meat, as well as cilantro and onion, and they are absolutely worth it. Their salsas are so flavorful, I really enjoyed the salsa verde especially you can see the grilled peppers in the sauce. 5/5 - Asada tacos, the char they get on the carne asada is crazy. This was my favorite, a perfect bite every time! 5/5 - Buche tacos, I LOVE how they made their buche crispy and this was definitely my second favorite meat. 5/5 - Asada Mulita, again can't go wrong with asada and sooo much cheese and meat in each one! 4/5 - Lengua tacos, this was honestly a 5/5 compared to lengua tacos elsewhere, but in comparison to their buche and asada it is not as good. But still very tender and flavorful! read more

When we first got here, the line was out the door and stayed that way the entire time we ate. We were lucky we got a table, because it's super packed in here and it's a small little spot. The Goyo nachos were really good. I liked the asada Cali burrito too, but the chile relleno burrito got pretty overwhelming. La Azteca in LA is still the best one for that. read more

Food: 4* Service: 4* Ambiance: 3* Tucked away in a small trip mall, this place is usually busy. A small dining room consisting of about 8 tables welcomes you to enjoy a variety of tacos. My partner had the tripa burritto. He said it was delicious, cooked perfectly and very filling. I had the three tacos: carne asada, carnitas, and al pastor. The carne asada was good, not great. The meat was nicely charred, but no real flavor. You needed salsa to help. The carnitas were delicious. Soft, juicy, and flavorful. The al pastor was tasty, with bits of pineapple. The three salsas were very good, some hot but also flavorful. The radishes and cucumbers helped to lighten the dishes and were a welcome accompaniment. The spicy onions were great, very spicy and added a nice crunch. I will return. read more

The tacos were good the tortilla really makes the taco. Carne asada was a little on the greasy side, al pastor taco had good flavor with a small slice of pineapple and the carnitas were really good(not greasy at all). The queso taco was whatever, glad I had it but wouldn't order it again. The papa loca was good. It was really salty though. The torta was ok. Nowhere near what they show on IG as far as serving size and amount of meat. It was really a let down especially when they did not even add guacamole to it like it was supposed to come with. I don't know what was going on when we were there. 3 different people complained about the orders being wrong or getting the wrong food. The kitchen and the cashiera were going back and forth about it saying it's not our fault. Glad we tried it, but would not go out of our way to try it again. read more

Good place for a grab and run bunch of tacos. Great flavor and served up quickly. Not set up to support the dine in crowd but that's fine since service was quick and food had flavor read more

Place is clean. Simple layout. Salsa bar. The Al Pastor is really good. Great place to grab lunch.

Service was fast and friendly! Appreciated the obvious signage about debit/credit price difference. I ordered 3 tacos-pollo, carne, and top sirloin. All tacos were very generous and definitely fresh. Handmade corn tortillas - yum! The meat in the beef tacos was excellent (so good) BUT I didn't particularly taste the standard marinade. Not saying that is good or bad (totally your preference). The flavor/quality of the beef was really, really good. I wasn't a fan of the pollo-size/quality of meat seemed fine but I like a bit of marinade. Didn't seem to have as much flavor as the beef. Also ordered a side of chips which were a bit greasy but yum! I should also mention the green salsa which I normally love had a chipotle type smokiness (I prefer straight chunky green but again, all about preferences). I would absolutely go again and order the beef tacos or branch out and try something else. Nice big menu! read more

Happy to find this recommendation on Yelp! Came here over other Taquerias because of the homemade tortillas, and they did not disappoint. They have some substance and chew but also tender and good flavor. A mulita gives you a little cheesy goodness. I did try the chicharones and wasn't a fan of the big pieces and how soft they are. A few places manage to get them less gelatinous, my personal preference maybe. read more
