    my name is eddie I work for work creation program, working with mentally challenged adults introducing them to society and to help them navigate by themselves in the real world, we usually go to lunch at restaurants in costa mesa , well we have 5 people on our group including myself 2 of us were buying lunch and the other 3 brought their lunch , well we were discriminated against, we were told we couldn't bring in outside food the manager and a female employee were very rude towards us, and told us to leave so we asked for a refund on the food we had ordered and left , we've never been treated this way usually people understand and make exceptions to the rules to accommodate our special needs but not this place I'm not coming back here ever !!!

    3 amazing tacos.  2 Papas/Chorizo tacos (amazing)... 1 carnitas Taco... Just as amazing.

    The food is wonderful. This restaurant had an amazing south of the border authentic vibe. The staff is extremely courteous and helpful. This is the second visit in less than a week. It does not disappoint.

    Authentic Mexican food in the middle of Costa Mesa. You feel like you seriously walked into a restaurant in Mexico City. Munson got the chicken enchiladas and I got two chorizo tostadas which came to $28. Food was abundant but to be honest I was surprised with the bill since the tostada were less than $3 each so the enchiladas had to be $22. It wasn't listed but they only had a picture. The cashier didn't seems to speak English so is didn't question it. Food was 4/5. Ambiance is 2/5 so overall I think it's a good experience. You know it's a traditional Mexican joint since they don't have any burritos on the menu;) except for breakfasts burrito.

    The worst driest biónico I've ever had

    Not your average biónico! It sucks!! A biónico should have yogurt/ creme. This is what I got.

    Salsa bar! Don't look for cheap pico here!

    Today is Mexican Independence Day, so we decided to have lunch at a Mexican restaurant. Originally, we were going to eat at El Toro Bravo (at the back of the lot), but they got rid of their tables. So we walked down to Jugos Acapulco. Good decision. Real Mexican music. We were surrounded by Mexican patrons. We ordered three different plates: chili relleno, flautas, and a torta. My chili relleno was massive. (I cannot verify this, but I swear they buy their chili rellenos at El Toro Bravo.) It was delicious. 9/10. My wife ordered the flautas plate. 8/10. My son ordered a torta. 8/10. The service was excellent. The young man who took our order spent some time explaining the menu. The ladies working the kitchen and delivering the food were dressed in Mexican dresses and were very courteous and helpful. There is ample parking and ample seating. (See my pics.) There are about ten tables inside and about eight tables out on the covered patio.

    Reading the menu is the worst. Why would you loop a video of moving words and then go black for several seconds to just do it all again? Worst menu display I have ever seen. Don't care how the food is, will never be back here. On top of that the 2 menu TVs are not in sync.

    My order

    Food: 3.5. Had a craving for a tamale and someone suggested this place. This is an order-at-the-cashier place. There is inside and outside tables. I ordered a pork tamale. There is a self serve condiment bar with items like salsa, radish slices, and lime wedges. After I placed my order, the cashier gave me a number on a stand to put on my table. Food came out timely. Masa part of tamale was cooked on to the corn husk. It was hard to remove the masa from the husk. Tamale was a nice size and good and, unlike many other places, there was a lot of meat. Service was efficient. Service: 3.5 Ambiance: 3.75 Value: 4

    Bad service now no bueno how sad for this place full of drunk people only
    Jc C.

    I had come to this places for so many years now they are change alot there services is bad and the girl the take the order in the register is really rude and has a attitude problem they charges $.50 cents for a ranch for a salad

The chips and salsa were really good. The aguachile had a nice spicy flavor that made it stand out. The queso fundido was SO good super cheesy, and paired with the handmade tortillas it was one of my favorites. We also ordered the calamari and I was surprised by how good it was. Everyone ordered different rounds of cocktails throughout the night and honestly, not one missed. Service was a little slow, but it was a busy Friday night, so that's somewhat expected. I've been here before and the grilled octopus tacos and carne asada burrito were just as good as I remembered them. They also made the birthday celebration really cute. They sang happy birthday, brought out a small ice cream, and gave my friend a big mariachi hat. Good food, great drinks, and still consistent as I remembered it. So long Playa Mesa. 9.5/10

The birria tacos were packed with flavor, and I loved the inside-out cheese crust. My husband's fajitas were flavorful, although the chicken was a little overdone. The guacamole was excellent, especially with the pepita seeds adding great texture. Overall, we enjoyed the flavorful food, service, and atmosphere. We'd definitely come back!

Everything is clean, beautifully organized, colorful, and incredibly fun. It's almost like Disneyland of Mexican markets! We loved sampling the tacos and exploring all the different food stalls.

The entire market feels like a fiesta. There is vibrant fresh produce, option of authentic food in different stalls, and churros served hot from the fryer. We also grabbed some carne asada to grill at home to keep the party going! And then there is pretty impressive collection of tequila for the tequila lovers! Mercado González is more than a market.

I've been shopping at this location for about a year and have been a customer of Northgate Markets for several years. Unfortunately, my experiences at this location have become increasingly disappointing. I've encountered raw chicken left on the shelf two or more days past its expiration date, fresh fruit and salsa still being sold after their use-by dates, and produce that was visibly rotten and infested with bugs. These aren't minor issues when it comes to a grocery store--they're basic food-safety and quality concerns. And then there's the customer service. Today, there wasn't a friendly employee in sight, and the customers weren't much better. I'd especially like to thank the grumpy woman on the scooter who apparently tried to run me down three separate times. I assume you were having a bad day, but judging by the atmosphere in this store, it seems like everyone is having a bad day, every day. No one smiles. No one acknowledges customers. No one seems remotely interested in providing even basic courtesy. I understand that people have bad days--I really do--but when the entire experience consistently feels cold, hostile, and unwelcoming, it becomes a pattern rather than an isolated bad day. The cashier couldn't be bothered to say hello back or even make the slightest attempt at being friendly, and the young man bagging my groceries was just as dismissive. I've spent years shopping with Northgate Markets, which makes this especially disappointing. Customers shouldn't walk into a store and feel like they're an inconvenience for simply being there. Today was the final straw for me. There are plenty of other places willing to take my money while treating me--and other customers--with basic courtesy and respect.

I waited for my friend to come and in the meantime, brought chips, salsa, and black beans to start. The chips were hot and fresh and the salsa was the perfect amount of spicy.

The Strawberry Jalapeno was delicious, but I do wish there was more spice from the jalapeno. My friend wanted a Coke and Laura said they had no more so she was so bummed. Later, Laura came running and grinning and found the LAST Coke bottle in the back and brought it out! Such a funny and cute moment! The Tres Enchiladas de Mariscos were SO yummy. Each one with a different taste, sauce, sea food. My favorites were the shrimp, lobster, crab in that order. The rice was perfectly hot and fluffy and complimented the dish. Then, my friend and I shared the flan, which is truly a sharing portion. It was so RICH and thick and was the best dessert to top off the evening. Thank you, Calo and your amazing staff!
