    It was my first time here and it did not disappoint. I got the cabeza tacos and it was delicious. The meat was so juicy and flavorful with generous amount of toppings. They also had a sauce bar and lots of seating. This is the perfect spot to hang with friends late at night since it closes at midnight. The service was fast and efficient since the food came out right away. Highly recommend

    Starting off with the service. The service was friendly. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted and promptly attended. It is my first time here. I ordered the carne asada fries. Good amount of toppings, good serving. It lacked cheese, or maybe it wasn't spread out properly. There were too many fries with nothing on it. The asada tasted good, it had good flavor. The place itself was very clean, everything was stocked. There was multiple people present. Will most likely be returning, to give another item a try.

    Reasonable price for big portion and great, friendly & fast service. The place is clean and spacious with seats/tables on the window side and service/kitchen on the other side. Overall the food is good for the price and they do have other dishes besides burritos.

    5 !! I had the Al pastor burritos without the beans with everything on it for $12 and it was amazing. The seasoning was done just right. The store has a bathroom and provides unlimited lime, picked carrots, and chopped onions which I added to my burrito. I also asked for each of their 2 liquid salsa and they put it in a saucer for you. I smoked the burrito there on the spot and ate tons of their picked carrots and onions that I put as toppers on my burrito. Super solid food and I would visit for their Tuesday specials.

    Went here for a late night meal and it did not disappoint. The service was very straight-forward and the food came out pretty fast. Prices were also very reasonable, if not lower than the prices I see in Santa Ana. We ordered the buche quesadillas and California burrito. The amount of meat they gave us on the burrito was insane. At least 3 to 4 scoops of carne asada.

    We ordered 3 tacos (asada, pollo, and al pastor), a carne asada quesadilla, and cabeza burrito. Prices were good and they do give a lot of meat, but everything tasted just okay. Meats were lacking flavor and the quesadilla had barely any cheese. Unfortunately, we probably won't be back.

    9 Taco Tuesday & taquitos

    This place is located near La bodega store. This was my boyfriend's and I first time coming here. Since my boyfriend heard his cousin goes here and wants it to give it a try. Today, we got 9 tacos and we only got them for $1.69 since it was taco Tuesday today their original price would be $2.29. I love their deals here for the tacos honestly can save you so much coins. We also got taquitos as well since my boyfriend ordered it; I didn't know what to get. The tacos were very flavorful, delicious, and meat is very tender and easy to chew. My boyfriend would rate his tacos a solid 4/5 and I would rate it a 5/5. I also love their red & green sauce it is the BEST sauce that any taco place should have in their taco restaurant. My boyfriend and I thought the taquitos were alright it just needs salt for the seasoning, but the it was crunchy, smooth, and crispy. The lettuce and other condiments were delicious. We both would give this a 3/5 since it lack a bit of seasoning. They have their condiments station which you can get on your own with a small bag and the condiment station has limes, onions & jalapeño mixed, and carrots. The service was fast & employee is very nice and friendly. The store has a great atmosphere, spacious, and clean. There is plenty of parking, but it is very small. I would definitely come back here for their taco Tuesday if I want a good taco.

    I just spent $72 on tacos and I do not regret it. They are about $2 each and they have all the different types of meats: asada, al pastor, pollo, carnitas, buche, cabeza, lengua, and chorizo. I had to get a variety to try them all. My favorites were the carnitas, al pastor, and lengua. They all came with cilantro, onions, sauce, and a pretty good amount of meat. The tortillas are also pretty good. The guy who puts them together are pretty quick. I just wish they gave you more sauce when you ask for it. The line can get a little long here since they can only really do one at a time. I do want to come back and try their menudo which looked oh so good. Pricing is pretty low. They do charge $.75 if you use your card.

    Love this location! They have a great Taco Tuesday deal (1.49 each) and I ordered 7 tacos for $10-11. It was such quick service and there was a lot of parking. The workers are very nice and their food was very fragrant and fresh. They have extra lime and sides on the bar near the counter. There is a small free for using card so bring cash if you can. I would come back again if I wanted delicious street tacos! There is a lot of seating inside as well if you want to dine in.

Tacos were $2.50 like most of the other trucks/stands that I've been to in the area and super good. I also liked that they cucumbers with some sort of salsa on them instead of just plain cucumbers I liked both the cabeza and the pastor a lot, but suadero was the one that stood out to me the most compared to previous tacos that I've had. Def recommend giving suadero a try if you haven't yet! Two of my friends tried it for the first time and liked it a lot. Only thing that would've made it better is if the pastor taco came with pineapple

Whenever we're in the area and see the truck, there's always a crowd, and we always stop by to grab some food. They've never disappointed us. Their salsa is one of our favorite parts--it's flavorful with a good spicy kick. Our usual order: Carne Asada - 7/10 Tender, but a little on the dry side. Lengua - 8/10 Super tender and full of flavor. Al Pastor - 8/10 Well-seasoned with a nice char. Mulitas - 9/10 One of our favorites! Crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Lengua Quesadilla - 9/10 Loaded with tender lengua and definitely worth ordering. We recommend this spot to all of our friends. There's plenty of parking, and the truck is well lit at night. Although the surrounding street is fairly quiet in the evening, it's an easy and convenient stop if you're craving authentic street tacos.

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.

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!

    Taquería Mexico: The Incredible Shrinking Taco…read more I remember when this place had lines out the door. Cinco de Mayo, I'm craving tacos, I show up expecting chaos. There's 3 people ahead of me. Jackpot, right? Wrong. They move so slow that a line forms behind me anyway. 15 minutes later I finally order: 2 carne asada, 2 al pastor to go, onion + cilantro on the side, salsa included. $2.65 each, FYI. Get home, crack open the foil, and... are these tacos for ants? I'm not crazy, so I did what any rational adult does: pulled out a food scale. Three tacos, weighed the meat. All came in at _under 1 oz_. Normal tacos run 1.5 oz. These are missing a full half-ounce of dignity. I usually need 2-3 bites per taco. These? One bite. I tested it. Slid right in like a communion wafer. Flavor? Aggressively mid. Carne asada tasted like it gave up halfway through cooking. Pastor was just... there. Nothing offensive, nothing memorable. Like a beige PowerPoint slide. Sides? Salsa bar? Pickled onions, grilled jalapeños, radishes? Nah. This place is a desert. You get foil, meat confetti, and the crushing realization that $2.65 bought you disappointment. Now I know why the line died. Taquería Mexico isn't even phoning it in -- they hung up. Orange County really is the undisputed champion of mid tacos. I live 1 mile from the LA County line and I'm forced to cross it like a taco refugee. Sad, because I _want_ to support brick-and-mortar spots. But not when they're actively shrinking my dinner. Giving them 3 stars on Yelp because I was raised right. Real score: 4.8/10. The pics on their site are pure fiction from 2012. Don't believe me? I took a pic of the meat on my scale as evidence. CSI: Taco Division. Do better, Taquería Mexico. This is shameful.
