Do yourself a favor and come check out Ryan's food! PROMISE you will thank me. Also...Don't let the name fool you LOL- he knows his stuff and you will not be disappointed! He is a gringo that KNOWS Mexican flavor. His salsas add the best finishing touch to all of the bomb items on his menu. Make sure you're there earlier than later, or else they might not have the protein you want! He sells out! There's a few tables to sit and enjoy or you can order to go! read more

Ordered takeout today and while it was a delicious burrito, it wasn't what I ordered. I got a Breky Burrito with Al Pastor and scrambled eggs and red salsa, but the burrito had an over-medium egg, carne asada, and no salsa. While the burrito wasn't what I ordered, the meat was good and I appreciated the way all of the ingredients were mixed together evenly through the burrito. The salsas provided were also good, though I wish they gave more (since I paid for it). I'd definitely come back and try this place again, but next time I'll come in and order myself. read more

Really wanted to like this spot, but flavor wise it was ok for me ..maybe the seasoning wasn't my cup of tea. I got the pollo asada Brekkie burrito because health. It had good texture from the crispy potatoes, but something about it did not pique my interest. Sad. The tortilla had a nice chew! Salsas were whatever. Parking Good luck in downtown lol Huge portions tho! Prefer the trough, bite club, lil LJs, and work in progress. I'm not a fan of chorizo so I didn't wanna bite the bullet nor did I want so much beef in my burrito as a protein haha read more

I have been wanting to try their breakfast burrito so when we had a free Saturday, we gather the cousins and headed on over. There are no parking just a loading area. I recommend calling in your order so it be ready for pick up. We end up eating right out of our car and lay the food in the trunk. The portions are huge. We ordered one chiliquies and two burritos. Our first bite was the chilaquiles, I love the flavors and the chips stay super crunchy. Next, the burritos were great. The portion of everything was just right. We picked asada meat as the protein and it was the correct choice. The eggs were fluffy and the tots stayed crispy. It was a good burrito! The service was good. Overall, great place to eat if you're in the area. read more

Got to say, it's one of the best burrito food truck I ever had and of course the price is not cheap either. Ordered a burrito with 1/2 asada and 1/2 pastor and it costs $18. But the size is huge & plumed, good enough for 2 but I ate it all since it was simply delish. The meats are simple well marinated and well tendered. Easy order with n or and friendly staf (think it's family business). There are couple tables with chairs for right there eating, which I did. Quite a vibe for sure. It's busy most of the time, high and low but definitely avoid lunch time if possible. After you ordered, you are most likely have to have around 7-10mins for your foods so prepared. They do cooked with care and love so be patient which all are. Really enjoyed this place a lot. read more

I would rate this a 4.5/5 if I could! SO good and SO stacked. The breakfast burritos are hefty. Service: I placed an order for pick up online. They order was slated for 25 mins but ready within 15 mins. Parking: This is a food truck parked in downtown Santa Ana. Parking can be a little difficult depending on the day and time. Breakfast Burritos - SO good. Large portions, hash browns remained crispy, and great salsa. - Breky Burrito (5/5): I ordered the build your own option with over easy eggs + carne asada (Additional $5). The carne asada was tender and you can really taste the smokiness from the grill. - Farm House (4.5/5): Also a great option! I ordered this with the tri-tip. Tri-tip was also very tender. My only complaint from this burrito, is I wish they gave me an option to order over easy eggs instead of the default scrambled eggs. Definitely making a trip back here for their breakfast burritos! read more

This happens to be my first review of a food provider operating from a catering truck and so glad that I was influenced by the review of fellow Yelpers to give Tacos El Gringo a try. They assemble some very tasty tacos and I happy to share my recent experience. My "go to" proteins when trying Mexican cuisine is to try the Carne Asada, Pollo (Asada when available), and/or Carnitas. On this occasion, I was able to sample all three. As you can see from the pictures, their portions are very impressive with a single taco able to take care of a taco fix. But, since it was a Friday, one just would not do, so I went with all three. The flavor of each protein was very good with the right balance of crispiness with juiciness and a good depth of flavor. I was hoping to add guacamole, but unfortunately, it was not an option, so I ordered and added slices of avocado. These ingredients with the sauce/salsa option really elevated each one of these tacos. The onions, cilantro, salsa and avocado hit the mark. One great discovery is the quality and uniqueness of the salsas. Excellent flavor with the added spices to remind you of legitimate "soul food." I was not a fan on the cream sauce, both those around me enjoyed it, nevertheless. My dive into the Catering Truck side of things went very well and I can understand the lines awaiting the creations from the Tacos El Gringo kitchen. Very good taco spot and one that I would recommend. read more

Tacos El Gringo - Carne Asada, Pollo and "Carnitas." - Food Trucks Near Me - Santa Ana, California

After my disappointing experience, Ryan reached out to me to make this right. I came back for a comped burrito and also ordered a second for my husband. I got the Breky burrito with carne asada again and my husband tried the Breky burrito with al pastor. I had zero problems with getting the comped burrito. I came on a Wednesday so it was $3 off the burritos. Ryan even gave me a sticker for my daughter. Let me tell you, these burritos were absolute perfection The tortilla definitely tastes homemade and I love it. The burritos are heavy and filled nicely. I love the creamy Chipotle sauce and my husband loves the salsa verde. I'm so tempted to go back every week. Maybe multiple times a week The protein choices do change every day so you don't really know until you get there but I think the carne asada, al pastor, pollo, and chorizo/soy-rizo are the staples. Definitely come here for one of the best breakfast burritos in Santa Ana! They're generous with their sauces too. You can ask for whatever you want and they'll give it to you with a smile. Give them a shot, you won't regret it. read more

Had this spot recommended to me by a coworker and I'm so glad they are open on Easter! Wanted a hearty breakfast to hold me over until Easter dinner later tonight and this completely hit the spot. Beautiful blue blue truck parked on fourth Street that serves some incredible breakfast burritos. The smells emanating from the truck as you wait are absolutely mouthwatering. I love that they have clear windows so you can watch them as they make your food. If they're busy, be prepared for a bit of a wait but I can assure you it's worth it. It was a bit busy this morning and it took about 30 minutes for me to get my order. I ordered a Chilaquiles burrito with Al Pastor and a Breky burrito with chicken. Both were absolutely delicious. Chilaquiles burrito did benefit from some added salsa, but the Breky burrito was perfect all on its own. I did only try their habanero salsa and salsa Verde so next visit I plan to try their other two salsas, the chipotle and red salsa. With this spot being so close to me I 100% plan to be back and I highly recommend it read more

Came here for a breakfast burrito Wednesday morning and was pleasantly surprised! I got a standard breakfast burrito with asada and Wednesdays they have $3 off burritos so had a nice discount on it. I really enjoyed this burrito, you could see the guys grilling the tortillas over their open flame grill adding some great flavor. The eggs were nice and fluffy, the steak was tender and juicy, and the tater tots were crispy crunchy and delicious! This was not greasy it was nice tasty clean and very filling! I did notice after the fact the lack of cheese, maybe mine didn't come with cheese but there was no taste or stringy cheese. The orange sauce is SPICY!! It was very good, creamy and HOT but added good flavor! If you need a good breakfast burrito in Santa Ana this is a great spot! read more

Tacos El Gringo - Chilaquiles Burrito!!!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Was introduced to this place by some coworkers and this is my new favorite breakfast burrito (and taco) spot hands down. I got the farmhouse burrito and it was worth every penny! This place sets the example of what a good breakfast burrito should be! I love their Chipotle sauce! Warning for the spicy loving people, their habañero sauce is not for the faint of heart, it is straight up pureed habañero. It's good but very spicy. Their meats are all perfectly cooked! I had their al pastor the other day and it was also perfectly done. read more

First time coming here and I'm impressed. The burrito is huge. The green and habanero salsa are my favorite. But be warned the habanero sauce is spicy. They are not stingy with their servings look at the pic that big piece of avocado in the taco. The staff is friendly it does get busy and you have to pay for parking but it's not bad I only paid 2.85 for 1hr and 24 mins. 10/10 recommended read more

This truck is a top contender for best breakfast burrito. Not best in OC, or best in LA, I'm talking about best PERIOD. Everything is balanced perfectly. Its not small like most of the new school breakfast burritos. The salsas are on point. The pork belly was perfectly crispy, and you get all the ingredients in every bite. This is the best breakfast burrito I've had. And I've had ALOT of breakfast burritos. I would definitely drive from the SGV to Santa Ana to get it again. read more

My boyfriend and I heard about Tacos El Gringo on IG and we knew we had to check them out. We finally came on a Sunday around 10:30am. There was no line but they were busy with orders and told us they had a 30 min wait so we put in our order and went to a coffee shop! We ordered the breaky burrito with carne asada and the breaky taco with bacon. I loved the taco! They fill it up with bacon and avocado, it was perfect! The burrito was good too, an even ratio. We just said we would get sausage or bacon next time. Overall, really great place and would totally recommend. read more

After seeing this place on social media I decided to try it since I was close by. I saw that I could order online so I placed an order for 2 breakfast burritos. I placed an order around 10:30am and it was ready by 10:45am. I picked them up and went home. When I opened my burritos I saw that one of them wasn't what I ordered. I ordered one Breky burrito and one Farm House burrito. The one labeled farm house was actually a chilaquiles with tri-tip. I was disappointed that my order was wrong. But I will say that both burritos were really good! read more

10/10 recommend Tacos El Gringo. I'm genuinely so happy to see them getting more business because they absolutely deserve it. The food is always worth the wait, and the staff is very friendly and always upfront about wait times (if there is one) before you order. I've been coming here for over a year now and have loved everything I've tried. My go-to is their breky burrito with asada (or sometimes bacon). I've also tried the chilaquiles burrito, farmhouse burrito, and their classic chorizo breakfast burrito. Everything has ALWAYS hit the spot. My eyes are bigger than my stomach and I can never finish the entire burrito (although I do get close). Their green salsa is my favorite. I have a toddler-level spice tolerance, and it's perfect for me. If you can handle anything beyond that, definitely try their other salsas. They're usually set up outside of Hopper & Burr, but sometimes they're at catering events or other spots, so it's worth checking their Instagram (@tacos_el_gringo) before you head over. They also have online ordering! Pro tip: grab a drink from Hopper & Burr while you wait. read more

My new breakfast burrito addiction. Can eat this every week . The smoked salsa is my favorite so far.

The chilaquiles plate is all I have tried but they are delicious. I ordered mine with asada and scrambled eggs. The asada was good and they actually put a lot of meat and egg. It was such a huge portion so next time I'll have to share my plate. Overall good chilaquiles, authentic, flavorful, service was fast and the workers are nice. Oh and their habanero salsa is spicy but good. read more

Long awaited review. We've been coming here since Jan 2023 at the Anaheim location. It's 2026 and we were still trying to go once a week for their queso tacos and chilaquiles burrito. You know when you try something for the first time and are hyper fixated because it's so good but then drop it after a month. Well it's been years lol and we can't drop it because Ryan and his crew literally have the best tacos all around. Just try them. Everything is 10/10. Thank you guys!! read more

Updated review This is my third time trying out this spot. This time I decided to try the chorizo burrito and it was amazinggg. The quality and amount of avocado is perfect. Bonus points for using Ochoa's chorizo. I love when small businesses support each other! Especially Santa Ana locals. It may be a simple Hispanic breakfast combo but it reminds me of my mom's cooking, and personally that makes me appreciate spots like this even more. I'm glad their service is still very much welcoming. They deserve all the love and support of Santa Ana. read more

First time I tried today 08/27 tacos are good and stuff but not worth the $40 dollars I paid just for 3 breakfast tacos.. Too over priced.. ordered a bacon taco and it's literally pieces of bacon with egg and avocado.. it says 3$ at the menu.. but once I paid it came out to $40 almost.. I get that it's "prime" meat or whatever but have that included in your menu.. 3 tacos shouldn't be more than $20 in my opinion.. read more

We've supported this spot since pop up days, and it's been really special watching them grow. This is a small family run business, and you can truly taste the effort and dedication in every bite. We always come back for the loaded tater tots, chilaquiles burrito, and tacos de papa. Everything is fresh, flavorful and hits every time. The owners and staff are incredibly kind and hardworking, and it shows in the quality of the food and service. Also, they are open. We were just here today. Definitely worth trying. read more

Hands down good solid food! Some of the best chilaquiles in OC!! Great serving sizes. I've been eating from them for years.

Bomb burritos and tacos ! Chicken is always cooked to perfection . Chilaquiles burritos are where it's at!

I sat with myself for a couple of hours now debating on making this review, but the breakfast burrito is just not the same as it was!! literally was chef kisses now it tastes like an egg burrito from chick fila it literally fell apart (super greasy) and the egg bites where too big (before you used to get a perfect bite) now it's just egg #BringbacktheOGburrito read more

Pretty darn good food truck. They were one of the trucks at an outdoor event, and the burritos and quesadillas are both large, filling, and tasty. I definitely didn't need both, but no one was serving desert, so I went for the quesadilla more toward the end of the evening. The hot salsa is hot. No joke, legit hot. They are all flavorful, and you can do a little mixing to get the right amount of heat, but don't just slather the hot one on your food. read more

It's located in front of the Anaheim Packing District so come prepared to find street parking especially during the weekends! It was in the same building as a couple other sit down restaurants. We ordered a total of 4 burritos of different kinds. It took them around 30+ minutes which wasn't too bad. My favorite was the chilaquiles burrito and we made it "Premium" by adding pork belly as my protein ($15). To be honest, the protein was nothing special, it was under seasoned and I wish there was more flavor ti it but the chilaquiles itself were very tasty. They were still crispy which added a nice crunch. The lengua burrito that my sister in law ordered was also good! Meat was tender, flavor was there. Size was also hefty and worth the price imo. read more

Took such great care of us at our wedding. They were so helpful with questions through the process. Guests raved about the food. Thank you!

Wondering where this taco truck was all my life when I've always been around this area! My boyfriend and I were one of the last people to come so we were able to just stick around and ask Nadia(?) and Lalo questions about their items (also gave us complimentary Pork Belly Tacos from whatever they had left while we were waiting :')) For the day we went, we ordered the Al Pastor Quesadilla and the El Grifo Burrito. Both were already so flavorful that only lime was really needed to enhance the flavor (it was also a good level of spicy so adding extra sauce sadly wasn't needed for us). The El Grifo Burrito was so big and shareable between us two. I believe it included Asada, Chorizo, Hot Cheetos, Rice, and Beans (I asked for none) from what I remember. If you want to be able to try out more things, I'd stray away from that burrito because finishing it made it hard for us to start on the quesadilla. Their location and menu changes every week, but they're trying to keep it at the Westminster location! You can stay up to date with their location/contact them about catering on their website or on instagram (@tacos_el_gringo). We're definitely returning to this place as a repeating customer!! read more

Got a little of this and that and it sure was a lot of deliciousness!!! The meat were flavorful and cooked perfectly (not over cooked or dried). The salsas were the right about of spice and added to the tacos for sure! The fries were bomb. It was pricey, but definitely loaded with a lot of toppings. Easily be enjoyed by a party of 4 or 1.
