    Carne asada street tacos with the works.
    Greg S.

    Best street tacos in the OC by far! This place has super fast service and the price is right. That's the only thing I've had here but will try the burrito bowl next time. Parking can be a little hectic at lunchtime so get here early.

    I stopped by Taqueria Mexico because it has been a reliable spot for years and I always enjoy visiting places that feel like true neighborhood staples. This one has been around for a long time and still draws a steady crowd. They used to be open twenty four hours, which was a huge perk, but even now it remains a go to choice for quick and flavorful tacos. I ordered their street tacos, which continue to be some of the best I have had in Orange County. They remind me of tacos I have eaten in Mexico. They are small in the perfect way, two or three bites and you are through the taco, which is exactly what a good street taco should be. The meat has a rich and savory flavor that stands out right away. The red sauce is bold and adds the right amount of heat without overpowering the rest of the taco. The staff here is consistently friendly and welcoming, which adds to the charm of the place. Service moves fast even when they are busy. Inside, the space has that classic street taco shop feel. It can get crowded, especially during peak times. The only thing I would like to see improved is a little more attention to cleaning the tables when the rush hits since you sometimes have to sit at a spot that was not wiped down yet. It is not a major issue but it is the only reason my rating is four stars instead of five. Overall, Taqueria Mexico is excellent and remains one of my favorite spots for authentic street style tacos. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a simple and flavorful meal that feels true to the roots of Mexican street food.

    Only Meat Burrito (outside)
    Diana N.

    I have came here a bunch of times ever since I started dating my boyfriend. He was the one that introduce me to this place. This place is amazing for lunch and dinner. Today, I got the only meat burrito that comes with any meat of choice, beans but I didn't get it today, cilantro and onions, cheese I didn't get it today. They fill up your burrito really good. They also have sauces on the side red sauce and green sauce along with the lemons. I also tried their pineapple juice before and it was delicious. The service was fast & employees are very nice and friendly. The store has a great atmosphere, spacious, and clean. Plenty of parking. I would definitely come back here for their delicious burritos & want to try their tacos as well.

    2 stars only for flavor. Their tacos and burritos are very good. They just absolutely are not worth $2.40 for a 3-4" taco and $13+++ for a burrito. Been a weekly monthly customer since 1989 (was 2-3x a week when it was affordable for what you ordered) when they opened. Way over priced now. You can't get your own peppers and carrots now etc.

    This is a hole in the wall taco place and as authentic as you get besides food trucks or street taco stands. They have tacos, burritos, quesadillas with your choice of meat and cilantro, onions and or cheese as a toppings. They used to have an open salsa bar which was great now you have to ask for sauce, jalapeño etc the staff seem reluctant to give them to you. There are not a lot of parking in front and sometimes there is a long line.

    Smallest burrito for $11.00 at a taqueria ever...
    Michael M.

    Went back to give these guys another chance and got another tiny burrito for 11.00. I'm sorry but this place used to be the go to and now they just keep raising the prices and giving you less. Sad that this is happening to the local spot. Off to the next taco spot

    Chicken burrito
    Steven N.

    Chicken Burrito - big burrito - tasty tender chicken - not a fan of the beans - rice has an interesting flavor Carne Asada Taco - meat is a little tough - lots of meat Al Pastor Taco - lots of meat Red salsa - spicy Pro Tip: - order in person to get cheese

    Chicken Tacos and Carne Asada Tacos
    Garett Y.

    If you are looking for an inexpensive taco, this place has you covered. It was everything I was expecting it to be. Also, super quick! Line was out the door and it only took 5 min to get to the front. Tacos: they were decent, got them plain so I can really taste them, meat was cooked and seasoned well and the tortillas were just the right size. Not big, but also not extremely small. It was a two biter for me lol! Burritos: (not pictured) here is where it lost a star, the tortilla were from Sam's Club. It was the Sam's Club brand so it tasted really processed. I was super bummed since the tacos were so good! Beans and Rice: (Not Pictured) beans were not refried, they were Beans De La Olla. Not my preference, they are still kind of firm and not super mushy so that was a plus. The rice was basic, not horrible but also not super amazing. Over all, I will be back for tacos, not much else.

Looked around and this is what everyone had, even people after us. Must order one of these! YES, it will fill you up! Guac Mexicana - freshly made guac to order and it was great! Flavor was perfect and went well with everything. Beans - we're bean lovers and these were so good I had to call it out. The pico de gallo is a must as well, don't miss out on it. Spicy though! This is a must try for anyone in a 10-15 mile radius....and any closer you should run there! The restaurant was very clean, staff were attentive and pleasant from entry to exit...we couldn't be happier with our experience. Kudos to this place for running a restaurant the right way! They should teach other restaurants how to do business!

For $8, you get a whole mug, ice cold, no need for a refill. The shrimp enchiladas were spectacular. They chop the shrimp small so you're not getting huge chunks of shrimp each bite and they top it with either red, green, or mole sauce. The ceviche was great. Great flavor, crunchy vegetables, and the portion was huge. But that's not the best part. I'm a sucker for good refried beans. Wow. Some of the best I've ever tasted. You can just tell they smash them fresh every morning. So I got to talking to the waiter, who was great by the way, and he said a while back they changed from lard to real butter in their beans and what a great change that was. The flavor is next level.
