Food is actually really good. Service is top notch. Fun vibes with music always playing. Price is an immediate punch in the face, but they actually pack the taco with a good amount of meat. The bowl is my go to. read more

Service was great, I had the Birria bowl it was Pretty good at its price for the quality of the food, The best thing was the ice cream, it was amazing, I will say the other items like the tacos would be good at the price if it came with at least two but it's 1 for $11 either way I enjoyed my visit and am eager to come back for more. read more

Very nice and very helpful. Food was amazing highly recommend! Liz and Al are amazing!

AQ Tacos in Chino absolutely exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I noticed how spotless and welcoming the restaurant was. The dining area was clean, organized, and had such a fresh, inviting atmosphere that made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made me feel appreciated as a customer, which always makes the experience even better. The food was incredible and every bite was packed with flavor. Not only was everything delicious, but the presentation was stunning. My bowl was filled with vibrant, fresh colors that immediately caught my eye--the bright guacamole, juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, perfectly seasoned rice, creamy beans, grilled corn, pickled onions, fresh crema, and tender, flavorful birria all came together to create a meal that looked just as amazing as it tasted. Every ingredient tasted fresh, and you could tell they don't cut corners on quality. The Birria was juicy and perfectly seasoned, the guacamole was rich and creamy, the vegetables were crisp, and the house salsa added just the right amount of smoky, bold flavor without overpowering the rest of the dish. Every bite had the perfect balance of textures and flavors. It's rare to find a place that nails both presentation and taste, but AQ Tacos does exactly that. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the attention to detail really shines through in every dish they serve. Whether you're looking for an incredible taco, burrito, or a loaded bowl like mine, this place delivers on every level. If you're anywhere near Chino and craving authentic, fresh Mexican food made with care, AQ Tacos is an absolute must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back again and again! read more

AQ Tacos - Birria Bowl - Tacos Near Me - Chino, California

They say this place is gourmet tacos? It doesn't even taste gourmet? How could you tell me to pay for one taco and a couple pieces of potato chips for like 13-17 dollars depending on what kind of taco you want. They are very stingy with the hot sauce too. read more

For a freshly opened restaurant the service was good, and the ambiance inside is clean. The food is decent, but could use some tweaking on portions for the price. I got the bowls using a BOGO coupon they sent out in the mail. Total was ~$18, so in this case 9$ per bowl, so not bad this time around. As someone who frequents places in LA like Leo's Tacos, I'm not excited with the flavor and texture of the al pastor, and the meat portion of the bowl is small for 18$ normally, with the meat borderline hidden underneath some of these other toppings. It's nice plating and I appreciate the variety of ingredients, but I'd expect the meat to be where any Mexican restaurant let's their skills and flavors shine. The sauces all seem to be original flavors and house-made and I really enjoyed those, especially the green one. If the meat portions and flavors are tweaked I'd be happy to get this bowl again. I was also similarly shocked when I saw other reviews talking about the $10 per taco. Not even in the most vibey-silverlake attempts at reinterpreting Mexican cuisine would I entertain $7 a taco, let alone $10. I really miss the Taco Man near Euclid before they relocated to Upland since I think they had their flavors and saudes down to a science. For tacos in this area, I usually stick to Tacos El Juanito near Cardenas and the 60. Pure flavor and none of the fuss. Angel's Tijuana Tacos is also not too far over in Riverside, so the competition for flavor is fierce. Would love the option for cheap, flavorful street tacos here at AQ, too, especially since this plaza serves so many of the nearby suburbs. It sounds like the other reviewers are also looking for a good place to support, but I don't see myself settling for a place just because it's closeby. read more

I've been here three times now, and I have to say, it's always a great experience. Returning customers is a true sign of quality. The food is fresh, prepared quickly, and made with healthy ingredients and quality meats. The service is friendly, and the owners are welcoming--they even greet you personally. Supporting this local, family-run business is a no-brainer. Some might complain about the prices, but let's be honest--this is California, specifically Chino, where everything tends to be more expensive these days. read more

This place is a huge no for us. I was really disappointed with my experience. Paying $13 for a single taco with chips, 1 TACO!! I expected much better quality and flavor for that price on 1 taco. As you can see from the pic, the taco also wasn't very big. Unfortunately, the food lacked authenticity and had almost no flavor at all. It was bland and not what I would expect from a taco place. The only thing that was good was the tortilla, it tastes fresh, homemade. For the price, I was hoping for something fresh, flavorful, and worth the cost, but this fell far short of expectations. read more

AQ Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Chino, California

I was excited to see a new restaurant open in the neighborhood and wanted to give it a try before bringing my family. Unfortunately, the pricing felt very high for what was served. A single taco was $12, and a carne asada quesadilla was $17, with a drink and a small cup of rice and beans, the total came to over $30. At those prices, I expected the food to really stand out, but it didn't. The taco was decent, but it wasn't memorable or worth the premium cost in my opinion. The portions were also smaller than expected. The menu was also very limited which could be good if the items were outstanding. The service was good, and the staff was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. However, the overall value just wasn't there for me. I wish the restaurant success, but I don't see myself returning regularly. read more

AQ Tacos - $12 grass fed Australian Ribeye taco. - Tacos Near Me - Chino, California

Very Pleasant experience at this NEW Taco spot in town. It just opened; and is Shiny and inviting. The girl at the register was friendly and the gentleman in the back (Most likely the owner) was very friendly too. I ordered the "Walking Taco" first time to have "nacho style" dish served in a bag. The Steak was perfect. The flavors you would expect were all there. But the only negative thing I would have to say was that the bag was filled with all crushed tortilla chips (the kind you would find at the bottom of a bag that was crushed). I'm no expert but it was annoying to see that all the chips were crushed. This would be my only issue with the "Walking Taco". This made the dish not so appetizing. Did I say that they are Very Friendly there. Customer Service gets 5 stars. I hope to come back to try their other menu offerings. read more

I really wanted to like AQ Tacos because the staff were genuinely friendly and the service was great, but the food just didn't live up to the price. At $12 for a single taco, I expected something really memorable in terms of flavor and quality. While I can appreciate that they seem to be using higher-end ingredients and going for a more elevated taco experience, the actual execution just wasn't there for me. The tacos felt overpriced for what you get, especially considering that the flavor didn't stand out in any way that justified the cost. Good ingredients only go so far if they aren't put together in a way that really delivers. I don't mind paying more for food when it feels worth it, but in this case it just didn't. Overall, the people working there were great and made for a positive experience service-wise, but the food itself left me disappointed and I wouldn't say it's worth the money. read more

I've been staring at the lower ratings for AQ Tacos like a confused puppy. Are we eating at the same restaurant?! So I came here for lunch hoping to get an asada burrito. I was I bit disappointed being that it's Birria and ribeye, but since I was already there I thought I'd give it a try. Honestly, I'd go back. Yes, the prices might make your wallet sweat a *little* bit, but for the quality and service? I'm good! The entire place is clean and not cluttered, you could probably eat off the floors, though I'd recommend using the tables. The service was so warm and welcoming that I felt like a VIP guest at a taco gala. Now, let's talk about the food, because it deserves being talked about: * **The Ribeye Taco:** I recommend. I was braced for those awkward, chewy chunks of steak that you have to battle with. Instead, the ribeye was sliced beautifully, flat, and was tender that practically melted in my mouth. The melted cheese in the tortilla was a nice touch. Oh and Those added Chicharrones...Oh, the *crunch*! They had that perfect, airy, crunchy texture to the ribeye taco. The grilled onions were so good especially because they were not burnt. If you like your grilled onions burnt you may want request it. They were perfect for me. I'm * **The Tortillas:** yum! I'm not a corn tortilla gal because I feel the corn flavor takes up all the flavor (I'm a burrito gal for the flour tortilla)...I was pleasantly surprised. You can instantly tell they are homemade. Well I'm not sure if they but they sure taste like it. If you've been to 5 Puntos in Boyle Heights...these tortillas reminded me of a thin version of those. They were warm, soft, pillowy, and held everything together like a delicious edible hug. * **The Birria & Consomé:** I have had my variety of Birria (growing up with Mexican friends and being married to a Mexican with like 20 Tias who all make it), though my benchmark is Birria El Cunado in Rosario...mmmm yummy! Anywho...The birria was juicy, wonderfully seasoned, and absolutely *not* dry (my biggest pet peeve!). The consume was a rich savory flavor bomb that I definitely drank the side of consume like a cup of coffee. * **The Chips:** A nice, complimentary little touch to kick off the meal. The red salsa had vibrant flavor without burning my tastebuds off. A light kick with citrus hints. I'll definitely be back for lunch. read more

I wanted to like this place but not my vibe. In the photo is $21 dollars of food . 1 rib eye taco ,chips and a side of beans. This is a restaurant for a certain clientele. The taco was subpar and the beans were bland . The hot sauces were actually decent and helped. I'm sorry couldn't leave a better review it's right up the street from my house . read more

The staff is very friendly unfortunately the food has no flavor and on top of that tacos are overpriced their excuse is that the use Australian meat but I noticed on the menu a vegy taco for $8.99 go figure., I really wanted to like their tacos since I live within walking distance so now when we crave tacos we go to King Taco read more

I wouldn't recommend ordering the nachos to go. When I got home (5mins) I was surprised they were in a sealed bag. So they are steaming in there the whole time. They were so soggy it was gross. read more

Delicious tacos! My daughter has a lot of food sensitivities and this is one of the places that doesn't flare up her condition. We are here about twice a week. The only downside is the high prices but you are definitely getting what you pay for! read more

We had a BOGO coupon so we decided to try it out, and we are fans! The tacos were great, and came with really good chips. The bowls were very filling and the salsas were amazing. We will be back! read more

I'm going to have to agree with most of the reviews, $11.99 for one taco it's a bit much. The name should be corrected from AQ tacos (plural) to AQ TACO* (singular) for one taco being $11.99 you can only afford to eat one. Imported meat from Australia to make tacos is a red flag, LOL. Jk. The taco to me was bland, lacked flavor and something mind blowing. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. read more

It is a concept very different from what we know as a taco, featuring flavors that are quite unusual for Mexican cuisine; I wish them luck, but it wasn't to our taste. read more

Came in saw the price point for the value walked out lol $12 for 1 taco. Go buy Prime carne asada for $15.99 better value.

AQ Tacos is an absolute must-try! I had their birria taco and it was mouth-watering from the first bite. The meat was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, and the tortilla was perfectly crispy with melted cheese inside--such a great touch. Dipping it into the rich consommé took it to another level. The portions are generous--they definitely don't skimp on anything. Taco comes served with homemade chips from fresh potatoes, and the sauce that comes with them is amazing. Overall, this place is a solid five stars. I highly recommend AQ Tacos to anyone looking for flavorful, satisfying food. You won't be disappointed! read more

Staff friendly. Presentation of food and cost for a taco with no sides, not my style. Very bland. Tried it, won't be going back.

Zero ambiance. Service is very friendly. The ta ch o was tasty but way overpriced. 1taco was $12. We had 2tacos with drinks fir 44$. Zero value. Go to urban tacos for better value and better ambiance. read more

The presentation was nice. The fact that a taco is $12 was shocking and I expected it to be spectacular for that price. Very disappointing. The meat very much lacked flavor. This place needs to try way harder if they are to compete with Casa Diaz. Rather surprising that my taco was served with potato chips. read more

The taste and quality of the food was AMAZING! The quesabirria taco was one of the best I've had. I understand the meat is from Australia but the price point on the food is RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. I also don't understand the potato chips. A cup of rice and beans would be better as opposed to paying EXTRA for them. 2 tacos. Chips/guac and ONE drink was $39. Way too much money. The people are soooo nice and everything but I can't afford to eat here. Super clean environment as well. JUST WAYYYYY TOOOO PRICEY!!! read more

My husband and I thought they were open, it turned out it was a soft opening... my husband had the tacos , he said the tacos were real good and he said we are going back.

I was excited to see a taco place open in chino. I went there today and ordered 4 tacos and when they told me the price I asked them why so expensive. They told me the meat is imported from Australia. I quickly cancelled the order and got me a pizza next door at domino pizza. $11.99 per taco. Wow. Talk about inflation read more

Walked out with three tacos for 45 bucks. I tried to support a mom and pop but don't go save your money. Tacos are basic size and same with the flavor. Nothing special and way over priced. Just go to tacos Los cholos and you can get double the value for that amount per taco. It's insane. Best of luck read more

This place is ridiculously expensive. Order to Tacos cost me $32. It came with a very small container of chicharones that came from Sam's Club. Two small containers of sauces. Plus some stale potato chips. The taste was horrible. It wasn't seasoned well. Even if they say they use quality meat it was way over priced. This is the very first yelp critic I have ever written because this restaurant is the worst I've ever ordered from. Also tortillas are old and not freshly made. DON'T even think of going here. read more

I recently came across a new taco spot in Chino and, after chatting with the owner, found out it was actually their grand opening! Knowing that, I went in with an open mind and expected a bit of a wait--but it was absolutely worth it. I ordered the Rib Eye Taco Chichos Way, and it did not disappoint. You could taste the freshness in the tortillas, the rib eye was seasoned to perfection, and while the salsa was a little spicy for my taste, it was packed with flavor. To top it all off, while I was enjoying my tacos, an employee came around offering samples of their churro ice cream topped with caramel drizzle and a cookie. It was delicious! Great food, friendly service, and a fantastic first impression. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Tried this place for the first time today, stopped by to check out the menu, Got to meet the manager Lily, she was so sweet and kind. She let me sample both of their Agua-Frescas, so good the spiced hibiscus was definitely my favorite. I had the ribeye taco it's a 10 out of 10 it came out hot, you could tell it was just made. The meat was tender, melt in your mouth juicy and the "chicho's way" is a must! ‍The flavor was impeccable, it is definitely different than your average taco. If you're into trying new things I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. I'll be back to try the bowl and the birria noodles! read more
