    Another hidden gem in OC. The best carnitas you'll find in the area. Plus their salsa and pico are top tier. They only serve two kinds of tacos, carnitas and chicharron, and you can also buy by the lb! They're at the cypress swap meet on Saturdays and Sundays located by the in front of the restrooms.

    One of thee best tacos Ive had in a very long time. Its a food stand located in the Cypress College Swapmeet on the weekends. Dont let the long line deter you from trying. It goes rather quickly. If you're a fan of carnitas or chicharrones, you have to try this place out. The chicharrones tacos was so crunchy and delicious. Make sure you dont let it sit, otherwise it becomes soggy. They're about $3 each but they pack on the meat. I dont know what home cooked tacos taste like, but I would imagined it taste like this place. It reminded me of home if that makes sense.

    Some of the best carnitas around. Literally the only reason I got to the Cypress Swapmeet.

    Where the magic happens

    BEST carnitas I've ever had!! It has all the flavors you could possibly want in a carnitas taco. Located at Cypress College swap meet on the weekends. Just follow your nose - you'll be able to smell it. They are definitely not stingy with the meat. Good luck trying to get everything in one bite. Fatty and moist with fresh salsa is top tier along with the quick but quality service. 10/10 recommend.

    5 out of 5 stars! This is my second time coming here, and the food is always amazing. The staff is…read morefriendly and truly on another level. Today we showed up around 6 a.m. thinking they were open, but they were actually still closed. The door happened to be open, and the cook greeted us kindly and let us know they weren't open yet. As we were about to leave, he called us back and said, "It's okay, I'll fire up the grill and make you something," even though they weren't supposed to open for another two hours. That kind of service is rare and speaks volumes. What an awesome gesture! I definitely recommend this place. Thank you, Señor Taco!

    Usually I write much longer reviews but there's so much here that most other people already talked…read moreabout it. My basic review is this: - There are a LOT of choices here and every option is great - The customer service is stellar and they greet you right away and make sure your order is confirmed before starting it - The pricing is very fair, I didn't feel like I broke my bank buying the tacos and quesadillas - I'm glad they have meat that's outside of just the normal beef and pork. It's not common you get options beyond this - I think they are very fast given the type of restaurant they are, and you are never going to feel "why is this taking so long" - Get their drinks! Don't forget! Top notched place in the area. I'll be coming back again for sure!

    Alberto's Mexican Food - Cypress, CA February 5, 2026…read more First visit This was my first time at Alberto's Mexican Food in Cypress, and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the beef taco and beef taquitos, and both hit the spot. The beef taco came loaded with lettuce and cheese, and the shell was perfectly cooked--not greasy, not soggy. The beef was nicely seasoned, and the hot sauce served on the side paired with it perfectly, adding just the right amount of kick. The beef taquitos were also very good--crispy, filled generously, topped with plenty of melted cheese, and finished with a guacamole sauce that was especially tasty. The rice and beans were average, nothing bad, just not standout--but everything else more than made up for it. All in all, a very solid experience, especially for a first visit. I'd definitely return and try more items on the menu.

I've never tried it so I don't know how good it is or if it's even worth it. Anyhow, Albertaco's is right at the corner. Bacon breakfast burritos for under $9.00 is the norm. It filled me up. They use French fries instead of potatoes cooked on the flat top or what we got at least were fries. I don't know if I can specify. It did the job and got my morning breakfast burrito cravings fixed. Usually we come here for late night. Their tacos, nachos and Rolled tacos are fire.

We started with appetizers guacamole, Brussels sprouts, esquites, and salsa with chips and everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered a salad for my meal, and it was fresh and flavorful. You can really tell they put thought into every dish. Of course, we had to celebrate properly with tequila shots for my friend's birthday, which made the night even more fun! The customer service was top-notch attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone at our table was happy. Speaking of which, everyone loved their food, which says a lot. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with a vibrant Mexican-inspired atmosphere. It was packed the whole time we were there, which just shows how popular and well-loved this place is. Definitely a great spot for celebrations or just a night out with friends. I'll be back!
