Maybe I caught them at the end of a bad day. Ordered 3 street Tacos to go before I could get up Beach I was pulling over to throw up. a Homeless guy asked was I ok and all I could muster was "Tacos". Now everything looked good and clean when I was in the Restaurant but man that Taco came back up like it was late for work. I probably won't go back to this one too give them a second chance as I usually do. Just can't do it. Sorry!

Super fries

I have been driving by this place a Few times now, but finally decided to come in. Small little restaurant, nothing too special aesthetically but the foods is awesome. I hesitated at first and only ordered a few items to test the water but ended up buying almost $50 worth of tacos and fries for my family. So full, I think my belly is about to explode lol. Love the service, cashiers and prepper knew their foods and took their time to introduce the items to me.

Sorry won't be back. Got a stomach ache. Meats dry, because overcooked. No freshness. Sauce bland, lacking flavor.

It is such a nice touch and makes the wait feel even shorter. I ordered the carne asada plate which comes with beans and rice, lettuce, guacamole, and tortillas. I went with flour tortillas this time. The portions are generous and everything was cooked well. The carne asada had great flavor and paired perfectly with the sides. The food comes out quickly and is always filling, which makes it a great option if you are stopping in during a lunch break. The atmosphere is fun and casual, and the staff are always friendly. They also do a great job checking in and helping clear the table once you are finished. There are so many options on the menu and everything I have tried has been delicious.

Also resturant is like an old school cafeteria and it is such a vibe. If gen-z and gen alpha find out about this place the lines will be massive.

Chicken quesadilla: 7/10 the chicken was flavorful and the quesadilla itself was good but it barely had any cheese. I literally paid for extra cheese.

Customer service : 10/10 Red salsa: 10/10 Green salsa: 8/10 Based on my experience I probably would only come back for the fish tacos.

Super yummy food with great customer service! The food is delicious because I keep coming back. However, one employee treats their sauce like it's gold. I always got sauce for free to go and then all of a sudden he decided he wanted to start charging me. Sometimes I get charged, and sometimes I don't. It's very frustrating because they only except cash. There was a female employee that used to work there during the day. I haven't seen her for a while, but I wish she would come back. She was awesome!!!

Earlier this month I was in the Little Saigon area (Westminster) of Orange County in Southern…read moreCalifornia on a Taco Tuesday with family and discovered this food truck in the ABC Grocery store shopping lot on the intersection of Magnolia and Bolsa. Decided to drop in and was delighted to know their Taco Tuesday special is $1 street tacos for a select handful of 8 protein fillings and $2 for 6 other choices. Even their regular price is still very reasonable. There was definitely a line around 6pm but it moved quickly. Love that they also have a self service taco condiments bar and area on the side of their truck where you can top your food with the freshly sliced or pickled veggies/chilis and slather on various taco sauces to your heart's content. Especially loved that they use a rotating gyro style meat grill for some of their meats. I also noticed they had another truck/van parked nearby where one of the staff would go to replenish some of their supplies for their taco truck. What an efficient way to keep up with demand by having a mobile/secondary vehicle that you can use for storage of stock to keep up with the high demand. I loved all the street tacos that I tried: carnitas, fried fish filet, al pastor, carne asada. Flavorful and done right! Definitely recommend this spot any day of the week when they're open, but especially for their Taco Tuesday specials.

Honestly, this place is terrible. It doesn't come close to the superior Tacos El May right next…read moredoor. I used to come here on Taco Tuesdays only because the tacos were $1 and the line at El May is always too long. I chose convenience over taste, but in the end, this place offers neither. On my last visit, I waited about 40 minutes for my tacos. I ordered six and only managed to eat three before realizing I had overpaid and that the $1 tacos weren't worth my time or the effort it took to chew them. I threw the remaining three straight into the trash. I genuinely chose to go hungry rather than finish them. The meat and tortillas were both bad, and the portion sizes were pitiful. I honestly don't recommend this place at all, especially when Tacos El May is literally right next door.

I really liked: Baja Fish Taco…read more Churro I liked: Asada Mulita This was ok: Burria Taco The Baja fish taco is the standout #goodeats here. The crisp on the fish is solid, and it tastes clean without being overly greasy. Pair it with their sauce and it really comes together. The churro was super fresh and honestly one of my favorite parts of the meal. Light, crispy, and just sweet enough. If they added a chocolate dipping sauce, it would go crazy. The asada mulita leans heavily on the cheese. The cheese itself is good, but the asada doesn't bring much flavor, so it feels a bit one-note. The burria taco is just okay. It's a little dry, and while the sauce helps, you can still tell it's lacking some juiciness. Service is pretty straightforward. You walk up, order at the window, and grab your food when it's ready. Nothing over the top, but it gets the job done. I did appreciate that they'll pack up grilled onions and cucumbers if you ask. Nice little touch that adds to the experience. The plaza it's located in is super cute and honestly adds a lot to the visit. There's plenty of open seating, and it feels like a great spot for family hangouts or casual group meals. There's usually music playing, which gives it a fun, lively vibe.
