    Food tastes delicious. Service was super quick. They even remade an order which was super friendly. Definitely recommend this place for some yummy quick tacos

    Burrito  Tacos

    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!

    Is the price $1 still and everyday?

    Do they accept card or cash only?

    I'm 99% sure it's cash only.

Not even the complimentary fake restaurant "Hi, how are you guys?" Straight to business. I respect efficiency, but maybe sprinkle a little hospitality on top. First, I'll give them this: the place itself is pretty cool. Fun atmosphere, cool interior, definitely has some personality. The tables, though? Dirty. Normally I'd understand if the place was slammed and everybody was running around. Except one cashier was taking orders while the other employee was just standing there texting. My friend... the tables are asking for you. Put the phone down, grab a sani rag, give one of them a little love. You don't need to deep clean the building--just make me feel like my forearms aren't about to become part of the previous guest's meal. Food-wise? Meh. The flavors were actually pretty good, but some of the chips weren't fully cooked through. And the tri-tip? Let's just say "tri-tip" was doing some heavy lifting on that menu description. Then we went to get ice. Nothing. Zero ice. I understand they're currently transitioning and moving across the way, so I'm willing to give some grace there. But no ice? Guys... CVS is across the way. I'm pretty sure they sell bags of it. Sometimes the solution doesn't require a manager meeting. Overall, the service wasn't terrible. It wasn't great either. It was just... meh. And unfortunately, that describes most of the experience. The frustrating part is the place itself is cool and the food has some decent flavor. The little things are what killed it for me: dirty tables while someone is texting, no ice, undercooked chips, and basically no hospitality from the jump. Nothing individually is catastrophic. But stack enough little things together and eventually you're sitting there wondering why you came in. Venue: Pretty cool Food: Meh, but decent flavor Service: Not bad, definitely not great Chips: Some needed another date with the fryer Tri-tip: We need to discuss the definition of tri-tip Ice machine: Thoughts and prayers Dirty tables + employee texting: Come on now Maybe once the move is finished they'll tighten everything up. My partner wanted to try it. We tried it. Mission accomplished. For us, we'll stick with Prime or Los Cholos.

He's exactly the type of person you want representing your business. The food was just as impressive. I ordered the enchilada and taco plate, and everything came out fresh and full of flavor. I appreciate that they didn't play it safe with the seasoning. Some Mexican restaurants make their food too bland to appeal to everyone, but Que Vida actually delivers authentic flavor without overdoing it. They also have a full bar with a great selection of house-made drinks, and the atmosphere fits Huntington Beach perfectly. It's clean, inviting, and a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. If you're looking for flavorful Mexican food, great service, and a fun atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend giving Que Vida a try.

Shout-out to my good friend and fellow Yelper who recommended this place to me! Carnitas and barbacoa tacos were delicious; each was $3.55. Mega Surf and Turf taco (shrimp and carne asada) was amazing, and though it's priced at $11.35, it's a large taco! What I loved about these was the generous amount of flavorful protein. I also tried what I think was a quesa birria taco, and the crispy shell loaded with melty cheese and dripping with savory meat and consome was the epitome of an ultra satisfying combination. They have bottled salsa verde and salsa roja available, which were nice to try and use as needed.
