    I came here for National Taco Day. I wanted to try some place I haven't been to. I ordered two Asada tacos, two Alpastor, and a been and cheese burrito. They really load the meat on the tacos. Next time I may ask for more cilantro since it's a favorite of mine. I will ask for spicier salsa. The burrito was tasty too. Service was really good. The lady working was always checking to see how I was doing, and if I liked the food. I had to tell her it was National Taco Day though.

    Wow, where you guys at?!!! The best taco Tuesday ever , authentic South American food right here

    Nachos with carne asada and chicken

    My husband and I came across this place as we were on the way to the grocery store. We wanted a quick snack and shared nachos. The service was great! We got the nachos with half carne asada and half chicken, it hit the spot. Definitely worth checking out this quaint place.

    The service here is always so attentive & friendly. They also bring everything to you which I love. The place is clean, well lit and has lovely, colorful murals on the wall that really bring life to the place. And the food itself isn't super greasy like most taquerias I go to (tho neither is a bad thing). It tastes much more like homestyle, relying less reliant on heavy amounts of salt/lard and has you leaving the restaurant filling full yet not grossly full. And while I love hot salsa the mild salsa here is 10/10

    Chicken torta with crispy bread

    El Buen Sabor is truly a hidden gem in Tustin. Under new ownership for the past year, the restaurant has been completely revamped with a new menu, new cooks, and a fresh new look. Disregard the older reviews there associated with the past owners. Having visited twice, I can confidently say this place has become my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Each time, I had their chicken torta with cucumber lemonade. The torta's bread was perfectly toasted--crisp on the outside yet soft and airy inside. It cradled a generous portion of tender, marinated chicken that was succulent and bursting with flavor, complemented by fresh avocado, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and a tangy, homemade sauce. The cucumber lemonade was refreshing and perfectly balanced, a delightful palate cleanser that paired wonderfully with the rich flavors of the torta. The birria tacos were also a true highlight. The fresh, warm tortillas were filled with tender, juicy beef that practically melted in your mouth. The meat was richly seasoned and slow-cooked to perfection, creating an explosion of flavors with each bite. I literally crave their food when I'm at work. El Buen Sabor is easily the best Mexican restaurant in OC, and I'm so glad I discovered this place. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Mexican cuisine, this is the spot to visit.

    We recently visited this lovely restaurant. Family owned and ran authentic Mexican. Food service was outstanding. Pricing was good and the ambience was quaint. we were looking for a authentic Mexican food restaurant and we finally found it. Looking forward to going back.

It's all chopped. I do prefer fuller pieces, but the flavor and so much meat I was absolutely impressed. Everything tasted fresh. The shrimp was crunchy. Perfect amount of rice and beans. A ton of salsa was given as well. Fish taco was very good and again ample amount of meat. Two tortillas to hold that shark together! BRC burrito was lived by the vegetarian in the household. Great flavor and very authentic tasting was her comment. Now the street tacos flavor was good. But the chop meat was so fine I felt like a baby being fed steak. Bigger bites people! Having said that the flavor was still good. And wrap them so they don't fall apart in the packaging. Overall five stars! Super friendly service. Proving is fair for what I'm getting.

Everything came out fast. The tacos were packed with meat and had flavor. One thing I appreciated was how the tortillas held together while eating and did not break apart. The super fries were delicious. I honestly couldn't stop picking at them and ended up finishing the whole thing. The cheese, pico de gallo, avocado, and cilantro crema all blended together well. The horchata paired well after having the tacos and fries. The customer service was good. The lady helping me was super nice and patient. I couldn't decide on a drink, and she let me sample everything before I picked the horchata which I really appreciated.

The inside seats about 20 people or so, we were lucky enough to snag a booth. The line was pretty long but our tacos came out in a reasonable amount of time considering the number of people in the store. I got an incredible amount of cabeza, asada and pollo tacos. Cabeza was the clear best with asada in second. The pollo wasn't bad, just didn't compare to the others. Cabeza melts in your mouth and has excellent texture though the portion seems smaller than the other meats. We were told that there was no more green salsa which I was excited for, but right when we had finished devouring our tacos they brought out a fresh tray of verde which bummed me out a little. Tacos were delicious though, and at $1.50 a price for Taco Tuesday that's a great deal. I will definitely be back, hoping they have some verde ready to go next time.

    Taco Gutierrez you have my whole heart!…read more After having moved to Santa Ana last year this has become my go-to spot for tacos close by. It's hard to find a good Taco Tuesday but they do a great job helping the community and keeping the prices $1.50 for basic meats like pollo, asada, and al pastor. I personally love my lengua and this truck has some of the best I've tried! It is a bit pricier but definitely worth it given the taste/quality. A couple things about the condiments--green sauce is spicier than you think, red one is more of a salsa and not that hot. Radishes are unfortunately not very crunchy/juicy at this location so I don't get it as often as I would at other taco spots. If you're ever in a rush, they do phone orders AND DoorDash. I've done all the methods and quality stays up there each time! However, if you do wanna enjoy your tacos right after they're prepared, you can always sit at their tables next to the truck. They have quite a bit of dining space and I've never seen it too crowded to the point of having difficulty finding a spot to sit. In terms of finding the truck, you just need to turn into S Hathaway St. Very close to the train tracks. I park in any free space they have there, since the businesses are usually closed after 5pm (which is when the truck opens).

A few of my friends have been telling me about them for years. We placed our order online for pick up. Unfortunately, their tablet wasn't working properly. The manager came out and wrote our order down so we did have to wait about 10 minutes... but they did their best and we appreciated the excellent service. We ordered a BRISKET BOWL $10.29, al pastor taco $2.29, Ensenada fish taco $2.89, asada taco $2.50, FISH BURRITO $11.80 + 1.50 extra for guac ~$13.50, and French fries $3. We were stuffed and our meal was only $35! The brisket bowl was surprisingly good- 4.5 stars. It was nice and smoky, and came with your choice of flour or corn tortillas. We got the flour, but once I unwrapped it from the foil, it was quite dry. The al pastor taco was okay, but very dry- 2.5 stars. The asada taco was not bad- a little dry but flavorful- 3.5 stars. The fish taco was good but not crispy. I would get it again for Taco Tuesday, but Rubio's is much better. The best item was the FISH BURRITO- 5 stars. The fish was tender and the filling was seasoned perfectly, and the added guac gave it soo much FLAVOR! I've got to try their other burritos. We also got French fries and they were pretty good- 4 stars. Huge portion- probable enough for 3-4 people! We were so hungry I forgot to take a picture lol. Would get again.
