Jocelyn was the best. The food was always good here but the service we got made it better. It was pretty busy but we still got a party of 7 sat pretty quickly. The vibes were fun and lively. Looks like a fun place to work which shows in the staff. The horchata is fireeee read more

Sofia provided outstanding service from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome as soon as we sat down. She was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations that ended up being some of our favorite dishes. Her positive attitude and genuine kindness made the entire dining experience even better. read more

Thanks to letti for the great service! She really was enthusiastic and funny. Had a great time with her service!

Most definitely their cleanest location with quick service! I dropped by after class for a quick bite with my friend and didn't expect everything to come out so fast. The wait staff dropped by frequently to make sure we got everything we needed and that we enjoyed our meal. I love getting their Cholo Plate, as it comes with meat, rice & beans (cheese & corn tortillas are optional). This was my first time trying the costilla / beef rib meat and it was very smoky and delicious although it was on the drier side. I think I'll definitely stick to asada as the asada here is usually very juicy & tender. Kind staff, great food, and very clean interior as there are staff members cleaning around the clock. read more

I LOVE Tacos Los Cholos! Just a heads up before you go: the parking lot in that plaza can get pretty crazy since it shares space with a ton of other popular restaurants and a busy grocery store. But don't let that scare you off, it's nothing impossible and you'll always find a spot eventually. Plus, the food is totally worth it. I tried the Cholo Pizza with skirt steak and it was amazing. I was also super impressed by their topping bar. It is absolutely huge, clean, and loaded with everything you could possibly want to load up your food. Tip: bring cash for a cheaper cash price. To top it all off, the service was great. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and checked in on us multiple times throughout the meal to make sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Alot of people tend to get carne asada, but trust me... Premium Pork Belly Tacos, Hallelujah ~ Premium Tripa (intestine), Hallelujah ~ Special Menu Shrimp Tacos, Halleljah ~ These three will make you say, Hallelujah ~ My favorite winners! The condiment bar is very well kept and other than their kiosk (not a fan), they have a pretty efficient system. This place is always popping, so I would place orders online if picking up to-go. read more

Great place for tacos! Street style tacos with plenty of meats. Pricing is based on types of protein and the types of Mexican food (tacos, quesadillas, burritos, etc) you want. There are plenty of tables for dining in, and a self-serve area for different types of salsa and garnishes. Good service as well. Can be very bus at times, but worth the wait. read more

Meats are dry, but order something with cheese and get a lot of sauce and it's good! There is limited seating so there can be a wait during meal times. I think there's less seating here than their Anaheim location. This location doesn't have alcohol (or is it just beers?). There's TV's around the room to watch sports on. Papa loka is very yummy. The potato was surprisingly moist considering I've never had a moist baked potato before. The cholo pizza is the best thing I've tried here. We had it with chicken and it was The tamarind agua fresca was so so yummy. I feel like they do get adjustments wrong but they'll fix it if you let them know. Definitely not stopping me from coming back for some cholo pizza and agua fresca. read more

My sis and I went here on a whim to grab some food (checked Yelp on what's in the area) before driving back up to NorCal and woooah lol. Okay, to be fair, the meat (at least the asada and pollo) was a bit on the dry side but omg sooooo flavorful!! Great tender corn tortillas for the tacos as well. But for me the highlight is the damn charred Anaheim peppers......ahhh sooo delicious with the bold sweetness and spiciness! I could eat so many of them!! My sis got the cholo pizza and I tried a slice. It's pretty much a loaded super jumbo quesadilla that could be easily shared among 4-5 people. I'm not the biggest fan of quesadillas, but if you (and your groupies) are then I recommend ordering it! My sis ordered it with asada as the protein and there def was no skimping of it. Friendly lady at the cashier (I ordered to-go as the place was pretty packed on a Sunday afternoon). Cutthroat parking right out front because of neighboring grocery stores/other restaurants, but the shared parking lot is so huge that there is a plentiful amount of spots farther away. read more

Fire. Enough said. Honestly one of the few chains that have expanded without sacrificing their core. The smokey smell from the meats grilling is always welcoming. Ive had most of their meats(protein) all has been pretty solid. If you haven not tried, i suggest their Tripa(fried tripe) tacos. Los Cholos does it right. So good, unhealthy af but delicious haha read more

As long as I live in the area, I will never stop going to Los Cholos. They've adopted a 'wait to be seated, server comes to you to take your order' model. The host outside the door will tell you about some specials they have...usually shrimp and some other fish. Recently tried the Papa Loka and it's a new contender for the regular rotation. read more

My friends and I grabbed dinner here at the end of the weekend. I'd been wanting to come here for several years ever since my former roommate I lived with in Anaheim told me how stuffed the tacos are at Tacos los Cholos. Ordering was mostly seamless here. My friends and I were each able to order and pay separately even though we ordered table side, which was super convenient and much appreciated. After ordering, we took turns grabbing condiments from the self-serve salsa bar. I'm a minimalist, so all I got was cilantro, onions, and lime wedges. Once the tacos arrived, I realized they were pretty stuffed, so I ate some of the meat with a fork first before picking them up to finish eating. All the tacos were pretty bland. My friends added sauces for more flavor, but I don't like sauces, so I stuck with my method. I thought the meat would've had more seasoning like other taco restaurants I've been to, so they were a bit of a letdown. Despite the mediocre food, service was really good, and the wait staff was nice and accommodating. read more

We came with our family to have some good tacos & this place didn't disappoint! We ordered a bunch of items -the boys ordered a taco pizza -holy cow this pizza was full of beef and not shredded -chopped in small bites! The guacamole was fresh as well the chips. Loved the condiment bar -my sister ordered 3 tacos -pork, beef & chicken- yumm! Hubby ordered a salad read more

Tacos Los Cholos is the real deal! Ordered the adobada & pork belly tacos with guac and cheese, adobada & pork belly burrito, rice & beans, chips & guac, adobada mulita, and horchata -- and it was all soo good. The meat is cooked carbon style over charcoal which makes such a difference -- you can taste it. Quality is really high and they're generous with the portions of meat per taco, which is always appreciated. Tacos come with meat and tortilla only, but can add cheese and/or guac. Tons of meat options but the pork belly is the personal favorite. Salsa and toppings bar provided. Also worth knowing -- they do more than just tacos. They have a wide range of menu items, even a pizza on the menu which I have been meaning to try, so already have a reason to go back. Many locations around OC - casual spot, solid service. The lines do get long so be prepared. Been here a handful of times, and they never disappoint. This is 100% my go-to spot to bring people when they want tacos in OC. Highly recommend. read more

I bookmarked this taco restaurant a while ago and finally decided to discover there. I avoided the lunch time on Sat. I went over all the reviews on Yelp and everybody said the lunch time was crowded and waited for a long time to order the foods. I got there at 4:30 and noticed half dining area was not filled. Thank God! I ordered right away to our server. Regular, premium, prime 3 tiers for the meats and 3.9% surcharge of credit card payment included the prices. I got one asada, one pork marinated tacos, chips and Guac for $8.79, my hubby got 4 asadas. Taco price w 3.9% credit card service charge is $3.21, $3.09 cash payment. They don't have alcohol drinks. I took a bottle of water from home for me. No choice for drinks for my hubby. I felt the service was not friendly, terrible, our server forced me to pay the bill before I got the foods. She didn't give us any forks, napkins, etc without any explanation how to order the foods or self service for the salsa bar, forks and napkins. I didn't know anything about their system. The salsa bar has lots of different salsas, red spicy, green, pico de gallo, onion pickles, sliced cucumbers, radish, chopped onions, cilantro, limes, and etc. We got the tacos in 15 mins. I smelled the charcoal flavor as soon as I bit my taco. The beef and pork are so tender, flavorful w lots of toppings, salsas, and guacamole. I got Happy feeling w tacos....haha. My hubby liked 4 asada tacos. Tender beefs, flavorful salsas, extra Guac, and etc. He said I will be back soon for more tacos and Taco Tuesday. Excited about Taco Tuesday. I liked the quality of meats grilled with charcoal. What about the service of our server???? I didn't care of 3.9% credit card charge from the price if the quality is premium, but I am really concerned about the service. Today our service was terrible. Why I have to pay the tip???? Pros Meat quality: 5 stars Self Salsa Bar: 5 stars Parking: 5 stars. Spacious in the big plaza Cons Price: credit card payment 3.9% is already charged. Who will pay by cash all the time???? Service: 2 stars Hope they can improve the service. read more

It's been a while, mainly because I live in Orange. However they have the best ribeye quesadilla. Makes me wanna drive over there and get one. But it's closed. I'm gonna have to make some time to go over there to get some dinner soon. read more

Came here several times and love this place! I would say it's one of the top five taco restaurants in the OC! They have a wide and solid variety of items in their menu, but I would recommend getting anything with arrechera (skirt steak). Whether it's their tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or pizza! However be warned it can be pretty overall greasy and saucy, so even though the food is great, it can sometimes leave you not feeling so great afterwards if you overdo it! That's the only thing! They got tvs so come if you want to watch your favorite team! Service is nice and friendly Plenty of parking! There's a bit of a wait when it gets busy. read more

100% worth the hype. This was my 2nd visit and I was not disappointed. We went on a Saturday afternoon so it was very busy. There were not any tables readily available so we opted to take our order to go. You have the option to order via kiosk or in person. We ordered a pastor mulita and asada tacos. And oh my goodness they were SO good! I'm still thinking about them a week later. The food arrived fairly quickly after ordering (maybe we waited 10-12 minutes), despite the vast amount of people. There's an assortment of salsas and toppings available for you to enhance your tacos (although they are great plain, as well). I will definitely be back over and over again! read more

My wife and I went to the new charcoal grilled Taco place in Fullerton. This is popular taco chain restaurant as charcoal grilled meats. We tried to avoid lunch time on Sat. We arrived around 4:30 and no problem to find a table. We ordered 1 asada, 1 marinated pork tacos for my wife, 4 asada tacos for me and chips and Guac, one coke for me. Unfortunately they don't have alcohol drinks like Margherita, beers, and cocktails. I really liked their self salsa bar in the front and on the corner in the back. I tried all different salsas, my fave was green spicy. For asada tacos, very tasty, tender, char smell, and lots of beefs, great tortillas. Loved it w lots of toppings. I also liked chunky guacamole w chips. My wife said, OMG!!! First time char grilled asada tacos..... Pros 1)Price is not too high but 3.9% credit card charge is included on the price. 2)Service is not great, our server forced my wife to pay as soon as we ordered. She said she was leaving.... 3)big parking lots Cons 1)No alchol drinks 2)3.9% surcharge included for the credit card payment 3)Lots of noise read more

I finally tried Tacos Los Cholos and it definitely lived up to the hype. The tacos were packed with flavor perfectly seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and those handmade tortillas just hit different. You can tell they take pride in the food they make. The carne asada was juicy and cooked just right, and the salsas had a great kick without overpowering the food. But my favorite was the sweet pork taco.The vibe is casual but always busy be prepared to wait in along line, which says a lot about how good the spot is. Only downside is the wait can get a little long, but honestly, it's worth it. If you're a taco lover, this place is a must try. read more

Tacos Los Cholos in Fullerton definitely has larger parking lot compared to the Anaheim location, but don't be fooled, you still have to drive around a bit to snag a spot, especially on a weekend. Weekday nights aren't terrible but expect to have a bit of a walk from the back of the lot. I love the staff here! They were so kind and checked in with me when I was looking for napkins. The service was crazy fast! I think they're more efficient here because someone seats you and takes your order. At Anaheim, you need to order at the register and then seat yourself. We were surprised at how quickly our order came out, but (again) this was on a Monday. We normally take the food to go and that does take a while. My go-to is their asada. Their adobada is also solid. I tried their mulita for the first time and it was delicious. One is enough because there is plenty of meat and cheese. I ordered a mineragua sparking water, and not only was the bottle chilled, the also brought me a large cup with ice. Pricing is average. I think they were on the higher end before, but it's now it's on par with how other spots are pricing their tacos. They're still the best in town, in my opinion. Cholos does not miss! read more

I tried the burrito and a few tacos. Hands down, the beef rib tacos were the best thing I had. Super flavorful and just hit right. The burrito with their regular asada was good, just not my personal favorite compared to the tacos I got! Service was good, even when it started getting pretty busy, which I expected. I also really liked their tortillas and I appreciate that they let you add your own sauces instead of loading the tacos up for you. Overall, good experience. I'd definitely come back, and next time I already know I'm going straight for the beef rib tacos again. read more

We both enjoyed Tacos Los Cholos in Anaheim, so my boyfriend and I were excited to try their Fullerton location. It was at night and the parking lot was packed and the exterior lighting here was burnt out so it was dark. The plaza should really look into that for safety. At we approached we can see a crowd of people wait outside the restaurant. This location is really organized. They have a line for takeout, and a host stand in front for dine in. They told us it would be around 20-25 minutes, which is pretty accurate of an estimate. At their other location the dine ins order in line and fight for a table, but here they will seat you and take your order. Service was super friendly and on top of things. The pricing here varies if your protein is a regular, premium or prime. There is also a different price for cash versus credit card payment. My boyfriend had a burrito, 2 tacos, and a Coke ($2.08/can). I had a Pork Belly Taco ($4.15), Ribeye Taco ($9.14), Adobada Quesadilla ($9.87), and a Horchata ($4.94). While waiting for our food, we went to their sauce bar for sauce and condiments. They really stay on top of refilling these 2 stations, one in the front and one in the back of the restaurant. My favorite sauces were the aguacate and the chimichurri. And the radishes give a nice relief after the spicy bites of chile. Yum! Loved all the food. I think the adobada and pork belly were just better value. The ribeye was good but not sure it's good enough to be triple a regular protein and more than double a premium protein. Still worth a try if you're visiting for the first time. Tacos Los Cholos is one of my trusted taco joints while I'm in OC... but if you're in LA, stay in LA for the tacos out there. read more

The food is not comparable to the Tacos Los Cholos in Anaheim which grills their meat outback, but still good solid taste and portions. You might just miss the char flavor! All that aside, the service is pretty awesome and they check frequently to make sure everything is going well. They have an amazing salsa bar and I did appreciate that everything was labeled. Lots of hot options, the serrano was my favorite! Parking was easy enough for a Friday afternoon, but the lot did still seem to be very full. Not quite a line out the door, but definitely very busy the whole time we were eating there. read more

This place has some of the best tacos I've ever had. My wife and I ordered a number of different tacos as well as a papa loka. Our favorite meats were the beef intestine and the rib eye. I'm not normally a fan of beef intestine, but the one here is amazing and a MUST TRY! Has a nice chewy/crispy texture that you don't get with any other kind of meat. Seriously, don't pass up the beef intestine. All of the meats here have good flavor from the fact that they are grilled using charcoal so you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Highly recommend this place and I definitely will be going back! read more

There's always a line out the door at Tacos Los Cholos, and for good reason. They have three tiers of meat: regular, premium, and prime. As one who always seeks the optimal, prime carne asada is the way. I ordered prime ribeye and prime filet mignon - medium-rare. The steak is expertly grilled over a mesquite charcoal fire, which layers fantastic smoky flavor on top of high quality meats. There's a reason why ribeye is my favorite cut. The large meaty chunks are the perfect balance of bold beefy flavor and rich marbling. The filet mignon is no slouch either and it's the softest, most tender meat you can find in a taco. Also, the salsa bar is glorious. Every salsa is so delicious and a couple are actually pretty fiery. The chile gueros are a bit caramelized. Spring for the grilled cebollitas. The efficient friendly team will line you up for dine in or take out, and the wait is about the same. For take-out, there's a kiosk. read more

Wait was insaneeee on a tuesday night? We waited 45 minutes, but once we got seated and ordered the food came out INSTANTLY. The portions are huge and the sauce bar is stacked. I definitely recommend coming to try at least once because the service is so fast and food is authentic. Meats tried: -adobada -pork belly -costilla de res -asada -tripa Personal favorites were the tripa (ask for extra crispy) and the asada were delicious!! The secret menu vampiro is also super good, I would get that and a extra crispy tripa taco for my future order (: the papa loka is huge, i definitely recommend sharing that unless you're a big back. read more

Amazing! First there is always a line so expect to wait. When you enter there is two lines: the left is to order and pay. And the right is to pick up. Sooo yes there are two lines when you go in! Also after you order, there is another line, if there is one, for all the sides and salsas for your order. You can go and pack as much as you want. There is also cash and credit card prices but not that much difference. Even based on the meats, the prices does change Portions are huge! Their tacos and loaded baked potatoes are amazing! They even have their pizza versions, I saw many people try it and share among the family. The place itself is a decent size but it does get packed very very quickly. read more

Such a delicious taco spot. I got the adobada taco and the rib eye taco (medium rare) and both were fire. The rib eye was cooked perfectly and it was so juicy with so much flavor. 10/10 The adobada was also good, not the best I've ever had but definitely a really good quality adobada 8.5/10 There's a sauce bar where you can grab whichever sauce you want along with what veggies you want. The sauces had a nice kick and complemented the tacos well. The taco shell itself definitely seems house made. Would definitely return here. Service was also fast! read more

What can I say about this place? If the Dodgers had them hosted their parties, you know it's damn good. I had to try it myself and indeed, I can see why there's a line, but it goes by fast. The price is slightly pricier than typical tacos joints/trucks, but you pay for what you get. I absolutely love the prime ribeye. It's tender and juicy and yes $9/tacos, but they don't skimp out on the meat!! The arrachera and tripes are my 2nd and third favorite. I ordered the pork belly, but I guess they made a mistake and gave me steak instead. It's still delicious. Horchata is on point. Sweet and creamy. The place is pretty clean for a Mexican restaurant. I'll definitely be back to try other stuff on the menu. I do love the self serve salsa so I tried a varieties of salsa and my favorite is the green ones! The service was on point. They gave us water and asked if we enjoyed our food and checked on us. read more

But first...I have to give a shout out to Leticia (Letty), she was extremely helpful and checked with us on how everything is, and checks to see if we need any more water! She was awesome!! Now...for the tacos we ordered...OMG...chef's kiss!! I wish there is one in the West San Fernando Valley!! I ordered Chorizo and Pork Belly tacos and my hubby got the Chicken taco, and the Asada. We both loved it. But since I'm writing this (lol), my goodness the meats are so full of flavor and meat portions were generous!! We also ordered Chips and Guacamole and side of Beans and Rice. All delish! The size of the guacamole excellent. My favorite part also, I love their salsa bar!!! It has Onions, Cilantro, Radish etc. My favorite salsa is the Chimichurri!! Place was packed with people on Monday evening, we only waited 20 minutes.

I love this location better than the original location. Less chaotic and seems like from a year ago, they've changed the process to get seated. Honestly better that they track the line because it feels less chaotic and less rushed. You check in with someone in front and they will call you in and you order & pay at the table. As always, I get the papa loka with a half n half filet mignon with something else. I think the quality of meat has changed--much smaller and not the really good filet. Still good and the salsa bar is always so fresh. read more

TL;DR Carne asada tacos are seasoned well and tender. I would stick to regular tacos. Service was great. The staff are kind and attentive, despite being packed. Food: The carne asada is seasoned well and tender. The rice & beans are good. Their guacamole is creamy and bright. The prime cuts are very tender but taste like they are only seasoned with salt, so they aren't worth the price for me. The tacos are a little small, but they're filled with meat. The salsas are spicy, which I liked, but I wish it was more flavorful. I wish the agua fresca tasted more fresh. Service and Ambiance: The restaurant was packed, but there was only a 10-15 minute wait. We got to our table very quickly. The staff are all very kind and attentive. All the tables were filled, but the server checked on our table with good timing. I really enjoyed the music. read more
