Burrito  Tacos
Sydney H.

The man who took our order was so nice and so helpful. He explained the menu and the specials as well. When we asked about the salsas he explained each one and even gave us recommendations. We got a burrito and the 5 tacos special and it was delicious! It was in a nice neighborhood with some businesses. There were some construction but it was relatively peaceful while we were eating. I'm definitely coming back here again.

Tacos are all 1.50. They have asada, cabeza, carnitas, lengua, al pastor, chorizo, and a few other options. I went with asada, pastor & lengua. All were delicious! They have a red and green salsa I asked for 1 of each. I prefer the red as it had more of a kick to it. They also throw in some radishes, picked carrots, jalapeño, & a few slices of grilled onions. Overall great price point and great option for lunch. They only accept cash and Zelle. No credit card or debit accepted.

¡Este camión de comida es muy bueno! I highly recommend coming here for some very tasty and high quality Mexican food! It's hidden behind the old movie theater (if you're a local) or for newbies the new church off Sycamore and Warner Ave. You can get a full belly for under $20 for two people, including drinks! We ordered an Asada supreme burrito, hold the cebollas, please! As well as an Asada Torta. Both were superb in flavor and serving size and didn't contain a bunch of greasy meat. It felt and tasted homemade. Their salsa choices were red and green and a mild pico de gallo o that came with the chips. The owner/gentleman running the trucks speaks both English and Spanish and was very friendly and welcoming. That's a big plus in this day and age with customer service. Seriously, already drooling over my next meal from here...

5 tacos de pastor in one plate. 1 taco de asada, 1 taco de carnitas, y 1 de chorizo en el otro plato

My boyfriend and I were in Huntington Beach for Labor Day weekend and before leaving we searched Apple Maps for a taco truck. This one was the first one that popped up & we went for it seeing that they had 4.5 stars on Yelp! Let me tell you, soooooo good! We happened to go on Taco Tuesday so they had a 5 for $5 special on the tacos! They're regularly $1.50 each which is still super cheap. They were amazing and will definitely be back when in the area! Service was great too!

3 Tasty Tacos!

If you are in HB and looking for great tacos, do yourself a favor and stop by Tacos El Rey and order up. This place offers solid super authentic tacos. I had asada, al pastor, Carnitas and chicken. They were all awesome. The owner, Omar, is a great guy and working hard to deliver a quality product. Can't wait to go back!

So yummy! I'm paying double next time!

At first I was curious about the price because tacos in Southern California are usually really…read morecheap. But once you get the food you truly understand where that extra money is going. Hands down the best tacos you are going to get in Huntington Beach PERIOD! Also, I love that they have a self serving condiments area. The sauces they have to choose from are out of this world. (The habanero being my favorite) the location makes it better, having ocean side views and being right next to Main Street. All in all, definitely stop by and give it a try.

I've walked by this place so many times during trips to Huntington Beach and we finally decided to…read moretry it. Wow, we have been missing out. This place has an open concept dining room where the windows are open so even if you are sitting inside, you still feel the beach vibes. They also offer outdoor seating. You order at the kiosk and select from three tiers of meat, which vary in price depending upon which you select. The employees are all very friendly and seem to enjoy working there, which is rare to find. We first stopped in last weekend during a trip and enjoyed a selection of tacos- chicken, asada, al pastor, and chorizo. The meat is so flavorful, my favorite was the chicken and my fiance preferred the chicken and asada- they were all delicious though so you can't go wrong. We didn't try any of the 2nd or 3rd tier meats, so we can't speak to those, however a lady next to us recommended the cecina. They double up on the corn tortillas, so it holds up to any of the delicious salsas you add. Speaking of, they have a double sided salsa bar with green and red salsa that ranges from tame to spicy. The other side has a selection of cucumbers, cilantro, white onions, pickled red onions and limes. They also have a stellar Taco Tuesday deal, 3 regular/classic tacos for $7.50! At least as-of July 2026. It was so good that on a trip back this week we ate there twice. Of all the places I've tried in Huntington Beach, this is my favorite. Do yourself a favor and don't make the mistake of passing it by.

Best fish tacos by far and very friendly service. Sometimes Normita is around. Never disappointingread more

First stop in SoCal for our meal was Normita's fish tacos. We came here due to the birthday boy's…read morerequest which he found off of Yelp. When we arrived, the seating outside the restaurant was packed. We went inside to order with the lady cashier. We ordered 3 orders of 2 fish tacos, one order of fish burrito, and one order of chicken taco. I chose the fish burrito because I saw the line cook making it while we were standing in line. Luckily, there were tables that opened up after we finished ordering and walked out. They either call your name or bring out the food to you when it's ready. Everything we ordered here was moderately good, but the fish does get tiring to eat after the first taco. Same with the burrito because I was only able to eat my half and had to take the other half home. I wished my fish burrito had more coleslaw. I've had really good coleslaw in fish tacos before, so this place was considered more mid. The chile salsa that came with the fish burrito was delicious though. It really helped with the dryness of it all. For some reason, my friends who went to get the food after our name was called said the lady cashier inside talked mean to the line cooks and helpers. I'm not sure what happened as I was waiting outside, but they said it's something to note.

Their tacos are decent, their tortillas aren't bad, and the presentation is fine but not particularly stand out for upscale cuisine but ultimately the salsa is nice and bright,the servers are attentive, and the portions are very serviceable. The meat here is well cooked and has a nice char though most of the dishes are not as spiced and flavorful as some of the local competition. The dishes here taste clean and fresh, but a little too clean for my preference. The lighting inside the restaurant makes it very difficult to see anyone including the food, highly recommend sitting outside or closer to the entrance if that's not your jam.. Overall a decent restaurant but not something I'd go out of my way for.
