I had the mole enchiladas with chicken. Taste of the mole was great + the green sauce they have in the bottle. The only thing I wasn't too big a fan of was the chicken. It tasted alright, but a bit dry. I understand that happens a lot with this dish but I think if they changed that the reviews of it would be better. The rice and beans were standard. Nothing too different. read more

Best Chicken Soup I've had in a long time yesterday. Food was hot and yummy. Taquitos, rice, and beans were delicious. Affordable and the service is amazing. My new spot and I've told 3 people already about them. You got yourself some new customers! read more

We were very impressed with everything we got. Our waitress was super friendly and nice. We ordered a La cart items to share. We got a chili relleno, mole chicken enchilada, mini chimichangas, and some taquitos. Everything was super tasty. I will definitely be coming back here. Delicious and reasonably priced. read more

Tacos were amazing and the agua de piña was so refreshing. That drink can be hit or miss but they nailed it! My bf got the pastor burrito, a pastor taco, and a crunchy beef taco. He was stuffed after the huge burrito but loved the food so much he finished the tacos too! We both cleared our plates so that tells you their food is bomb. The staff was super sweet and checked in on us. The music inside sounded like a live band and really set a fun vibe. Would recommend this place! Thank you!! read more

This place serves big portioned family style honest cooking. I had the two meat burrito in carne asada and pastor in green salsa. Do yourself a favor and get the sour cream and cheese on top. It's a flavor explosion to your palate. This bad boy comes wrapped with ice and beans as well. The only downside I felt was that the meats were too little. Rice and beans definitely over powered them. In a 2 meat combo burrito, I would like to taste meat in every bite. But I had to dig around half way thru to find the proteins. I hope they improve their portions. Nonetheless, it's a great restaurant serving some real flavorful dishes. read more

Great food! Awesome service! First time and definitely will not be the last. Menu items suitable for every taste and anytime of the day. Menudo was amazing!! First time visiting and definitely not the last. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Serious appreciation for the exemplary customer service by Ana and the phenomenal camarones a la diabla prepared by Max. I love this spot, it's calm, clean, and reasonably priced. The food itself is a must try in Orange, they clean and peel the shrimp! So many places don't do that and I don't even want to eat them if they aren't peeled and cleaned. So as of now this is my go to spot for my CALD. Trust me, if you like that dish, this is where it's at. Also, the Agua de Sandía is a solid 9/10. Thanks again, Ana and Max! read more

Costumer reviews on yelp help us choose great places to go. Gonzalez waittress was so friendly plus she came around frequently to see if we needed anything. The food was amazing! I had the molcajete mix the flavor was super delicious. My husband & sister in law both had their menudo and they enjoyed every bite. My cousin ordered the bacon omelet and she said there was bacon in every bite. We will definitely be coming back. read more

I wanted to like it, but the chicken tasted like mystery meat their salsa was good, I'll give them that. Their prices are cheap for the area. I didn't feel good the next day so it's possible something didn't sit right with me. Also I could have sworn I saw a mouse not too far from the entrance when I walked up. read more

First time here and picked up an order to go. I ordered the cheese enchiladas, half green half red sauce, and payed extra for extra cheese. They did not put extra cheese and gave me baby sized portions of rice and beans. The sauce was lacking too, the enchiladas were almost dry. As for the taste, I give it 5/10. read more

A must try!! Had been in search previously for "Cochinita Pibil" but after this Easter Sunday when I called in and they were open,I went in for menudo and I must say I'm definitely coming back as my go-to "menudo spot" Service was very prompt.. we were greeted and sat very quickly. Again we came for the menudo but knew I had to try out the "cochinita Pibil" Menudo was very authentic,flavorful and hot! The "cochinita Pibil" was definitely a hit,home made recipe.. full of flavor and orange juice.. the tacos were delicious and well paired with their home made salsa roja. Enchiladas were another home run for me,salsa was also authentic,chicken well seasoned. Flavorful and spicy. Loved the ambience and staff all very welcoming. Can't wait to be back read more

Consistently the best. From their complex and savory mole to the sublime shrimp cocktail and everything in between. How are they so good? Give this restaurant all the awards. I will continue to go out of my way to eat here. read more

My bf had the chilaquiles with bistek and he loved his food. the meat was soft and sauce was good too. I wasn't so lucky though. I had a shrimp burrito that was very dry and all of the sauce was just at one end. It had 5 tiny little pieces of shrimp. read more

One Birria taco that isn't really birria for 9 dollars. 9.00$ for 1 Taco seriously that's insane. The birria is dry no sauce. They said the Toco cost 4 dollars yet I had to pay almost 9'dollars fire a toco and I got no hose that were dry. Birria anything isn't dry. read more

Good service and their red salsa is tasty. Love their pastor. The asada and shredded beef lack a little flavor. They are very friendly and the meal is always served quickly. Love these family restaurants. read more

Hello everyone! I want to let everybody know that this restaurant is fantastic and everyone should come here to eat delicious Mexican food! My family and I have been coming here ever since they opened, and the quality of food and service is still just as amazing as our first time dinning here. That should tell you that regardless of what is going on behind the kitchen they put the customer needs first in serving the absolute best! The quality of the food is soo good and delicious! My family and I have tried a variety of plates in the menu and they are all delicious! In addition they can accommodate any plate if you want (preference/health concerns). Pricing is fair. It can range from cheap to some plates being more on the pricier side, but it is all worth the $$ because each plate is delicious as well as their drinks! This place always makes my family and I feel like at home and as part of the family. The restaurant never disappoints! On the contrary the food served here is done with such great love, passion, and respect for the Mexican culture. I appreciate everyone working here and their hard work and for their continuing success! Here is a picture of my mom winning a raffle prize! We are so grateful and very appreciative of the prize and the restaurant for doing these fun raffles! As always we will continue to be eating here as our favorite Mexican cuisine place!! read more

First of all the staff is amazing. The young girls were regularly checking up on us and whenever someone left they would go and clean the tables right away. The portions are big for the price. My Husband recommends the Wet Burrito (green salsa). The place is hidden if you're not from around here. The inside of the place is small yet big. Nice and cool inside with tvs showing soccer games. Overall such a great place to eat read more

This place has amazing service and food. Our waitress was the sweetest woman in the world. She took care of me and my family of 5 during rush hour. The food is authentic and delicious. They help satisfy the craving for true Mexican food. read more

This is a great place to come eat some authentic Mexican food. Overall experience was good. Service was prompt and friendly. Server was able to go over the menu and point on the signature dishes. As far as the dish is concerned I ordered the chicken mole enchiladas which were great tasting. Could have used a slightly more chicken but overall great flavor. My son ordered the Asada tacos plain with fries. It's a good portion for a toddler but found the meat to be too "fatty." It's not flap or skirt steak but more of a fatty possibly chuck steak. Atmosphere was great. Had music and TVs at the location but the lack of AC felt uncomfortable after a while. They use fans to try to keep the place cool. read more

My son came out to visit and we decided we wanted to go to an authentic Mexican restaurant. We looked on Yelp and found Gonzalez's, not far from my home. It is hidden somewhat back in a strip mall and we had to go around the block when we missed it the first time. But it was worth the extra driving! It just a small restaurant, that is not terribly noticeable but the food and service are fabulous! I would consider it a hidden gem in Orange! It was everything we were hoping! The food was very tasty and the prices were great!! In addition, the service staff couldn't have been any nicer or more helpful!! read more

I'm very picky when it comes to Mexican food. But the food here taste as if it came from my grandmother kitchen. Absolutely delicious and authentic. The staff is very friendly too. You have to try the barbacoa! It's my favorite. All the food here is great. I highly recommend. read more

Found this restaurant on yelp and I really wish I had known about it sooner. Everything was delicious, starting with the chips and salsa and refreshing horchata. We got the chimichanga appetizer, half chicken and half beef, and they were perfectly crispy. The chile relleno plate and wet al pastor burrito were yummy and filling. Topped it off with warm, comforting churros (the ones from Disneyland will pale in comparison now). Cozy little place tucked in the back of a strip mall. Excellent, friendly service. Will definitely add this to our rotation now. read more

Their customer service as well as their food is outstanding. I would highly recommend coming to this place.

Server was very friendly and constantly checked on us. Got the chile relleno and pambazo, both very good. They gave us complimentary salsa and chips, salsa was perfect. My favorite was the hot cafe de olla and churros, would go in on a chilly day just for that! Spot is easy to overlook, glad we tried! read more

My sister told me about the awesome Taco Tuesday deal so I had to try it for myself. Street tacos (not including shrimp and fish) for $1! The restaurant is a small hole in the wall that delivers tasty food! They gave us complimentary chips and salsa to munch on as we waited for our orders. I ordered the Cochinita Pibil, Al Pastor, Carnitas and Asada. My favorites were the Cochinita and Al Pastor because the meat is packed with so much flavor! Super juicy and delicious. I was not a super fan of the other two, simply because they tasted bland. I had to add the green hot sauce to enhance the flavors. I do want to come back to try other items on menu. The service was quick and friendly, but the waitress did forget my brother in law's second order of beer. He ended up cancelling it since we were done with our food anyways. read more
