Carne Asada Burrito, Lengua Taco, and Al Pastor Sope
Karl M.

* The All-Meat Carne Asada Burrito was great - burrito was packed with a ton of juicy meat sprinkled with hints of lime * The Lengua Taco was delicious - the generous amount of lengua was very soft and the tortilla was hot and fresh * The Al Pastor Sope was amazing - the base was both fluffy yet crunchy, the al pastor was savory with a nice char, and the cheese helped round everything together * Overall, a great spot with friendly service and tasty food to grab a quick bite at, doubly-so for their spicy, refreshing salsa

Beyond stale, couldn't even chew it. I'll stick to  El Taurino next time.

Extremely disappointing, stale food, cold etc. I had high hopes. It's just not the same anymore.

Suadero and carne asada

Food was bland, rude service, no guacamole, they don't have lemons or limes. Wouldn't come back again. Gave one star because zero isn't available

Might be overrated but that's just my opinion. Atleast the staff was very nice. So first we called to ask if they do take out, but they stated "no, you still come to the line and we'll make your order when you arrive but they'll take the order info over the phone." Basically take out already? The food "to go" was wrapped in aluminum. Dine in was served a paper plate. So very casual setting Minus 1 star because they didn't give any limes. That really makes the flavor pop out. There are like 7 sections and when they call your order you go to the section that called to pick up. They call out the number in English and say something else, which I assume may be the section you pick up from but I couldn't really understand because they use a PA system. Anyways we went up to 2 different sections trying to find our food. When we finally did, the cook asked which sauce and gave us green and red sauce to go. I personally like the red because it had a stronger spicy kick to it. As for the tacos itself, I got chicken, pork and steak. The steak was probably the best because the meat was seasoned a lot more. Then pork was good. Chicken was bland. We also got 2 tamales and would avoid that at all cost. It was so bland and unseasoned. Totally meh. I guess only saving grace was how cheap it was?

Menu prices.

Chicken sope carne asada taco
Rosanna P.

Came here to see if it's still the same and it's not.. thankfully the carnitas and Al pastor tacos were good but the carne asada didn't taste like carne asada and the sope was way too crunchy and dry. My son had the half rotisserie chicken and he loved it, beans and rice that came with it were a little bland but dipping the chips into the beans made it taste better. The cheese quesadilla was good.

Large horchata

I've always heard about King Taco & bummed there's none in OC. I used to work in the same building as the corporate office which made me even more curious to try. I was surprised to see this location has a good sized parking lot & it's decently clean for the area. The inside has millions of tables & very clean too. It was pretty busy when we arrived, & a long line. The food has to be good if it's busy & a long line. I'm really boring when it comes to Mexican food & I really only order tacos. I was surprised to see they have rotisserie chicken here. I ordered 4 carne asada tacos & my husband got an all meat burrito. We also got some nachos & a large horchata to share. I was slightly bummed that they don't do the whole grilled onions :(. The food came out relatively fast & my first impressions was that the tacos looked very plain & bland. Ha was I wrong ! My first bite was without the salsa & the meat was not at all dry & there was so much flavor ! I also tried the green salsa which was my fav - adds a nice kick. Recommend ! The horchata was so good too, it definetly wasn't too watery or too cinnamon-y either. Wish there was an OC location, because this would be at the top of my places for Mexican food.

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening. We'll absolutely be back!!

This was my first time dining at this restaurant. The server was great, the food was delicious, and…read morethe atmosphere was amazing. However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.

It is a little slice of oasis in the middle of the fashion district. The restaurant itself - beautiful. I couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in my book. Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us. The service was quick and attentive. Parking was easy for us. I will definitely be back!

We initially had one server who brought us water and took our appetizer order, but then disappeared for quite some time without checking back in. At that point, I even went looking for a manager or hostess and couldn't find anyone available. Eventually, we were given a new server, but she came across as extremely rude and inattentive. What upset me most was the overall lack of communication and attentiveness throughout the experience. It made what was supposed to be a special Mother's Day outing feel frustrating and disappointing. Sadly, this experience soured my impression enough that I don't see myself returning.

Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
