    This taco truck should get an award. The best tacos I've ever had. Everyone needs to come here ! They open until 1am and weekends 2am it's amazing ! I've been coming here for the last two years I just didn't know they had a yelp thingy. And seriously this taco truck it's awesome ! I order a chorizo torta with avocado and cheese Inside. And put the avocado salsa they have. Other times I get the chorizo quesadilla with avocado also. And a bottle coke. The tacos i get it's always Alpastor, asada and suadero. Everything is legit here. I'm happy I know this spot.

    These have to be the BEST tacos I've had in a long time. They are well cooked, flavorful and the salsas are amazing. The guys working the truck are humble and nice. Try it for yourself and be amazed!!!

    I gotta say this tacos are really good. I come here every weekend and order 1 al pastor and 1 de buche. I like the fact that they have a salad bar out there, there's a few kinds of salsas de verde, roja, and guacamole. They also have nopalitos with pico de gallo. They serve you the tacos plain with meat and tortilla only and it's up to you to add as much salsa, onion, cilantro, or nopalitos to your meal. I believe that they also have tortas, burritos, and quesadillas. I highly recommend this spot, not pricey or stingy at all. Love this taco truck

    I fucking love this place. I eat here at least two or three times a week, and it never disappoints…read more The al pastor is a 10/10..seriously, get it with everything on it. Their salads are delicious, and the quesadillas? Chef's kiss. I'm actually really picky about quesadillas because, for some reason, the cheese at a lot of places messes with my stomach. But whatever they're using here agrees with me perfectly. Honestly... not even a 1,000/10. If you haven't tried this spot yet, you're missing out.

    PREMISE: I went here on a Tuesday night with a group of 10 friends…read more WAIT TIME: Not long! You order at the counter and then you can rather take it to go or sit in their restaurant. There's plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating as well. Food came relatively quickly as well for all of us, and drinks came out right away. Wait was maybe 5-10 minutes but all the food was freshly made! FOOD: They don't have too big of a menu, but that's not bad. I tried the carne asada, el pastor, and the mushroom tacos + queso tacos. The tacos were a lot bigger than larger tacos, coming at roughly $4 per taco. I would recommend the queso tacos because i LOVE cheese but the regular tacos are good. The quesadillas were very filling and there was a lot to them as well if you want something that'll fill you up more than a taco. SERVICE: Service was good. Everyone who helped us was very nice. PARKING: There is street parking and parking lots around the area for you to walk in--all of which are paid parking. You can use an app for the lots or use coins for the street parking. I've gone here during the day and night and I haven't had any issues with parking at all. INTERIOR: The interior is very simple: warm tones with benches. If you have a big party, you most likely will have to split up between multiple tables. For us, a party of 10, we divided it between 4 and 6, though the 6 was a tight fit. BATHROOM: Clean. Nothing crazy when I went there. I'm pretty sure you can use the bathroom too even if you don't buy anything. LOCATION: This place is in downtown Santa Ana, so there are a lot of shops for you to look around, eat at, or shop at if you go during the day. Very fun to eat tacos here and then go on a walk afterwards :)) TLDR: A very good taco spot to go eat if you want good tacos. They're open till 10pm weekdays and midnight on weekends as well. Decent variety that's fresh and very flavorful

    Taco Gutierrez you have my whole heart!…read more After having moved to Santa Ana last year this has become my go-to spot for tacos close by. It's hard to find a good Taco Tuesday but they do a great job helping the community and keeping the prices $1.50 for basic meats like pollo, asada, and al pastor. I personally love my lengua and this truck has some of the best I've tried! It is a bit pricier but definitely worth it given the taste/quality. A couple things about the condiments--green sauce is spicier than you think, red one is more of a salsa and not that hot. Radishes are unfortunately not very crunchy/juicy at this location so I don't get it as often as I would at other taco spots. If you're ever in a rush, they do phone orders AND DoorDash. I've done all the methods and quality stays up there each time! However, if you do wanna enjoy your tacos right after they're prepared, you can always sit at their tables next to the truck. They have quite a bit of dining space and I've never seen it too crowded to the point of having difficulty finding a spot to sit. In terms of finding the truck, you just need to turn into S Hathaway St. Very close to the train tracks. I park in any free space they have there, since the businesses are usually closed after 5pm (which is when the truck opens).

    A pretty solid spot for OC. The birria queso tacos are fire and taste very good. The asada and al…read morepastor are good too, birria stole the show every time I've went. The birria tacos are a filling size while the regular asada/al pastor are a bit smaller. I do wish they didn't use Guerrero tortillas since the taste on those is okay, but overall this truck is worth checking out. Plenty of parking around the truck. The employees are really nice as well.

    So, before leaving my review, I wanted to try TC one more time. I wanted to make sure I'm being…read morefair in my assessment, because there's an abundance of taqueria's in Santa Ana. My cousin recommended it to me and said they were better than Los Cholos. I said no way! Way! These tacos are moist and flavorful. They use local vendors for their tortillas. You actually have to cook the tortillas. Small, thin and have that just made taste. I like these corn tortillas because it gives you a better meat to tortilla ratio. I had the asada, pollo and chueleta (pork but not al pastor). All tacos come with cabbage, cilantro, RED onion and their respective salsa. I began a conversation with Charles about tacos and he asked me if I ever had a Chorreadas. I saw it on there advertisement and was going to have one on my next visit. He said no, sit down, I'd like for you and your wife try it. We said we were really full but he insisted. It was on the house, how can i say no. It was kind of like a mini tostada. Meat, cheese, veggies, salsa and a special spread. My wife took a bite and she kind of perked up and said, " you have to try this". She handed it to me and I took a bit. And another bit and another. I not sure what that spread is but it had me hooked. My wife and I talked about it hours after. She even stated she'd go back tomorrow. My wife also had the ribeye taco. Same moist and tasty. TC is located in the Dunkin Donuts plaza. Basic ambiance with plenty of seating. Fast and friendly service. They also won a taco taste competition during Taco Week. IMO, a must try and if you do, try the Chorreadas! You won't be disappointed.

This is the kind of place you rely on when you need something solid, fast, and satisfying. My usual order is the asada or cabeza tacos--and they don't hold back. The tacos are big, flavorful, and consistently good every time. Every now and then I switch it up with the chile relleno burrito, which is also worth it. Everything I've had here hits. The salsa selection is solid too. They don't have it laid out anymore, but you can just ask at the counter--and they'll take care of you. They've always been cool about giving extra when needed. They've also got a good variety of drinks to go with it. I usually take my food to-go, but the outdoor patio is there if you want to sit and eat. Service is friendly, quick, and consistent--another reason I keep coming back. If you're looking for a reliable late-night taco spot that delivers on flavor and portion, this is it.
