This place has got to be the most authentic I've had in the area. South OC is a tough area to find delicious authentic Mexican food. The burritos are filled and the rice, beans and meat are always well seasoned. I tried a taco de lengua and it was amazing with the green sauce. Best thing was having the red salsa IN the burrito. The spice was there but just enough to handle it. It's definitely a go to spot for an authentic Mexican meal!! read more

I've never tasted tacos this bad. How do you miss seasoning the taco meat?! The meat was so bland that it basically tasted like it forgot why it was there. And the tortilla was so soggy it was falling apart. Then there's the salsa... the only flavor I could get was SOUR. I honestly couldn't tell if that's how it's supposed to taste or if something was just off. And the price?? SOOO expensive for what you get. At this quality, these tacos aren't even worth a dollar. Really disappointing because I was expecting much better from Taqueria De Anda. Maybe it was just a bad day, but based on this visit, this is definitely not a taco place I'd come back to. read more

Taqueria De Anda-Grill - Birria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I ordered 3 flour tacos - 1 shrimp, 1 birria with 100% angus, and 1 carne asada with 100% angus, all were an extra $1 per taco - via GrubHub on a weekday. I also selected to add onions, cilantro, and mild salsa verde to each of the tacos. I'd requested napkins and utensils with my order, but the restaurant failed to include it with my order. It's not something the delivery driver would do, it's supposed to be included with the order before it's sealed. There were two packets of aluminum foil with tacos inside. The 100% angus birria and carne asada tacos were folded together into one foil cluster. The shrimp taco was it's own foil cluster. I think it was the salsa verde, but all of the tacos were so wet that I couldn't really pick them up to eat, I just used a spoon that I had with me at the office to eat the fillings of the tacos. The shrimp taco tasted the best, with nice and clean little bay shrimps that complemented the salsa verde, cilantro, and onions very well. My next favorite was the birria taco, the birria meat was something that tasted pretty good for something outside of Mexican fine dining. My least favorite was the carne asada, for some reason, I just didn't like the taste, look, or texture of the meat pieces. At the end of the day, I'm glad I chose to order from Taqueria De Anda Grill over Taco Bell, because I'm at the very least getting real food without a ton of chemical additives and bad fats. However, ordering GrubHub made it $6 more expensive than it would've been in-person, and so it didn't seem like a great deal. However, it's definitely a valid option for non-fine dining Mexican food that largely tastes pretty clean and tasty! read more

I was happy until I came to the front register and was about to be scammed for paying 6 dollars for a small cup of pico de gallo... I even tipped 4 dollars and they tried to charge me more money when my order was over 25 dollars After this experience, I will never return. Pico de gallo tasted pretty grimy too. read more

Amazing service and the tacos are 100% stacked with meat and salsa! Always hits the spot! Definitely recommend Taco Tuesday they have the best deal... $1.79 tacos and they are terrific! read more

I was hungry and it was 9:45. Fortunately, Taqueria de Anda - Grill was still open (1AM) on weekends. They have a welcoming decor with plenty of seating inside and out. You will hear Spanish here but there are plenty of friendly staff that speak fluent English (I would assume most of them). Their menu had exactly what I needed - an Al pastor burrito with rice, beans and happiness wrapped into a sizable log with a queso birria taco. It really doesn't matter what your mood is - it will get better when they deliver this. You know what you are in for because you watch them make it. I hadn't eaten anything earlier so I dramatically improved the quality of my life when I started eating this thing. The pastor was in big delicious chunks and it was perfect with the rice and beans - I got plenty of napkins and a fork for clean up and got after it. An incredible value for about $10. I watched them grill my queso birria taco and it was as beautiful going down as it looked on the grill. You could really taste the birria. My sole regret is that I could not eat more as I was totally satisfied. If you like good food - you need to visit Taqueria De Anda-Grill. read more

Amazing Chorizo Breakfast Burrito!!!!!! Loved the El Pastor tacos - meat is cooked on a rotisserie rack like gyro meat. It's is exquisite! Tastes like....MORE. Their Jamaica tea comes close to the best I've EVER tasted. 3 other aqua frescas. YOU MUST TREAT YOURSELF. read more

Ordered four tacos and they came all smooshed together into one sheet of aluminum foil. It is now a deconstructed mess. I guess these you eat with a fork. The chain Tacos and Co is better than this. Bummed and wish I hadn't tried something new. read more

This place is great. In and out fast and the food is always delicious! Quality stuff every time.

Amazing burritos!!! Amazing service!!! 10-10. Gotta try this place!! Best burritos in Lake Forest. Come in the afternoon to get super fresh stuff they change over from the morning and it's amazing!!!! read more

Extremely underwhelming. The food was bland and completely forgettable. The nachos were a joke no guacamole, no sour cream, and cold shredded cheese that wasn't even melted. Ordering was uncomfortable and awkward since you have to order directly from the cook, which felt unprofessional and disorganized. Nothing about this place makes me want to come back. Plenty of better taco spots out there this isn't one of them. read more

First time here and it was awesome!! Definitely recommend. Tacos are bomb. My family will be back.

- good tacos, but the customer service straight out of "Do Not Talk To Me" University Listen, the food? Its good. I would happily eat these tacos again. But the vibe? Let's just say if there were a diploma on the wall, it would probably read: "Proudly graduated from the School of Why Are You Talking To Me?" From the second I walked in, it felt like I was interrupting everyone's day just by existing. Ordering was a choose-your-own-adventure puzzle except the prize for solving it was getting glared at while someone silently rings you up. No hello, no welcome, no smile, no thank you. Just vibes. And those vibes said: "Please leave." And then the tip screen pops up. For what? Emotional damage? I checked later and saw 30+ other reviews saying the same thing, so I guess I'm not alone in my confusion. Great tacos. Great salsa. Customer service so icy it should come with a jacket. Would I come back? ...Yeah, probably. But I'll mentally prepare first. I was in a good mood coming in, leaving their establishment. I was a bit puzzled by the attitude. read more

i'm sorry, but please guys your tacos especially steak are way overpriced for what you and can someone please speak one lick of English. It would help out a little bit. read more

The Al pastor burrito was horrible. It was all rice no meat and what meat it had was hard and gritty. Red sauce had no flavor.

Their tacos queso birria are absolutely delicious!!! I would go more times a week if my waistline could afford it

Very mediocre and bland. The carne asada did not look like meat, rather they look like ground beef, and lacked seasoning. The shrimp were not fresh and very small, the kind you'd find at the frozen section at pavilions. The burrito I had was stuffed with rice more than anything. Not the place you'd want to go if you were looking for a surf and turf burrito. read more

Best food, best service!! I love this location, they always deliver. Make sure that you visit the afternoon shift.

Friendly service, clean restaurant, excellent salsa. I had the rice, bean, and cheese burrito, and even though it was huge, I ate the whole thing because it was soooo good. They do catering, too. I loved the food. read more

I'm updating my review to 4 stars from my prior review of 3 stars. Though prices have gone up, I think this is still good value for money. Their tacos are street tacos for $2.60 each plus $1 for carne asada, birria, lengua, or shrimp. I love the buche and the carne asada. I find that one street taco is good enough for me. Sometimes we order rice on the side which is good!! Or just chips and get their free salsa at the bar. My husband loves their burrito, and usually gets either choice of cabeza, carnitas or buche. And we down them with good Mexican coke! Service is good and fast. Sometimes they get busy but queue still goes pretty fast. Usually quiet with Mexican music playing in the background. Place is always clean. This is our go to if we don't want to spend much and still get good tasting tacos & burritos. read more

Always value and good food. And fast too! Been a customer since Brea and watching that close shop. Finding this is a gem especially since it's reasonable and fast. And the food is good too! And the place is open late. So you'll satisfy your late cravings too! Verdict - yes! read more

Food is good! I just don't like that they overload the tacos with sauce. Ask for sauce on the side! read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner and ordered chicken and carnitas tacos. Husband got a carne asada burrito and the kids got rice and bean burritos. The food came out fast, but everything was super average. The meats were dry and the salsa bar had limited offerings and needed a refill. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but if you just want a quick Mexican food fix and are in the area, it's an okay option. read more

The worst Mexican food that I have ever had. Everything was extremely oily and greasy. I ended up throwing everything away. I'm surprised I didn't get sick. read more

I'm here in town for a conference and stopped in here the first night I was here for an Al Pastor dinner burrito. I was going to do a quesadilla and it was way too much food. The burrito was terrific! Just hit the spot. Service was excellent as well. Today I went for a quick lunch and got tacos and a quesadilla for lunch. Had to have one more meal here before flying home. Again, they do not let me down. Quality, speed, professionalism, and delicious. Support small businesses! This place is excellent! read more

Me and my co worker went in around 1pm. There was no line. We were never acknowledged, and were never served. We stood there for 20 minutes in line, and not one "we'll be right with you" or anything. At least let us know that you see us and that we'll be helped momentarily. They avoided eye contact with us completely. We just left and went somewhere else. We were helped elsewhere instantly. P.S. It was my first time visiting this location so this was my first impression. Yikes. read more

There are plenty of parking spaces. They have plenty of indoor seating available. I ordered 2 carne asada and 2 al pastor tacos. The tacos were okay, the meat was slightly dry and didn't taste as good as other taco places I've tried. Recommendation(s): - None Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Accept Apple Pay - Restroom available read more

Some of the best Al pastor you can find nearby. Currently taco Tuesday has $1.60 chicken and carnitas tacos that honestly can not be beaten. I also have a gluten allergy (celiac disease) and now they know me and take extra precautions and haven't been sick in a year. I will gladly come here over many many options in the area. Plus late night on Friday and Saturday is a plus. read more

The portions here are HUGE. The burritos have a lot of meat and ingredients. My favorite is the carne asada burrito. The burrito bowl is bigger than the burrito in the tortilla if you're wondering. HAPPY BURRITOING!! read more

We travel 6 or 7 times a year to Irvine and always make a point to stop here. Amazing food, great team! Churros are better than Disneyland.

Food was excellent plus in a descent portion. Give there wet burrito a try make it into a combo with chips and a drink. Service was excellent so we're the server. Ambience is chill and a nice vibe give them a try. I really recommend. read more

This was my first time here, and unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. The food was served cold and did not taste good. The pricing is also very high. A burrito listed as $14.99 was charged at $15, plus an additional $1 for pico de gallo and $1 for cheese. For two burritos, my total came out to $44, which is close to what you would pay at a full dine-in restaurant with better quality and service. To make matters worse, the staff was not friendly. Overall, I cannot recommend this place. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

I love this place. been coming here for around 10 years. I almost always order either a carnitas or birria burrito, because i like them that much, but there's a lot of other stuff i wanna try. we saw them making asada fries and they looked bomb. their salsas are amazing and the little garnish bar is always fresh. it's a must to add the grilled jalapeños/onion too. service is also always great, the guys are friendly and quick. definitely recommend. read more

The asada meat at this location was bad. Why call it taqueria de anda grill if it ain't even grilled? . If you're looking for good mexican tacos this place is not from them! Please better the quality of meat served here. read more

The food is prepped fast, so it's great if you're starving and don't wish to wait to eat. The beef tongue and the carnitas are exquisite. I ordered the burritos and the rice and beans that come in them are cooked perfectly. Salsas are fresh and delicious. The burritos are HUGE. It's very convenient location right off the 5 at Rockfield and plenty of parking make it a great spot for a quick lunch. The ample seating inside and out makes it a great hangout for a leisurely meal as well. Service is quick and easy going. read more

Just started coming here for my taco fix! I've had two experiences so far and they've both been solid so far. The first time I ordered, I DoorDashed food and was very pleased with how well it was packaged and the tacos were not soggy or falling apart, even with salsa and the works on top. I decided to go in person the second time and found the place to be clean and everything was easy to access. My personal requirement for a taco place is they need to have buche as a meat option. They definitely succeeded here and it was good! The tacos are about $2.40 each which is a good price point, especially with other places trying to sell small street tacos for $4 each. These tacos are completely loaded and dressed with meat and the fixings. I will definitely come back when I'm craving tacos. read more
