Small hole in the wall in the strip mall behind the chevron station, i had friends recommend this place and decided to give it a try. Service was excellent, i went around 2:30 and nobody was in there, the cashier was friendly and answered all my questions about portions and the food itself. The restaurant is small but with seating and they have soccer and other sports playing on the TVs. Portions are pretty good, i got 2 orders or shrimp ceviche and 2 orders of the aguachile shrimps. My favorite of the two is the shrimp ceviche for sure, but i loved the spice of the aguachiles. Because of portions, i might have over done it, i think 1 and 1 of each would have been more than enough. For my order today i spend 62.00 bucks , which at first i wasn't ok with but the portions do justify it compared to other places. Flavor is good, and was filling. My daughter ate a whole tray and said it was "mid" def going back to try the pulpo and the other non ceviche items they have. read more

MSG! Im allergic to MSG and woke up to pain and puffiness. The fish tacos were so so. Not going back. If you can't make salsa without adding Knorr bullion seasoning, then you shouldn't make salsa. The Aguachile was so basic. Saying anything against it would literally be putting down shrimp, lime, avocado, onion, and cucumber because that's literally all that it was. Not returning read more

New cevicheria spot in Orange. Great prices. Blanca was super nice and helpful Ceviche. Huge portion. Taste really fresh. Good quality seafood Fish taco was pretty good. 3 bucks every day price is a great deal. Shrimp taco wasn't as crispy as I like. Maybe I was here earlier in the day. I'll try again or stick to fish tacos Michelada for 7 bucks. They make the mix. Not bad It's huge Good salsas. Great service great food. And excellent pricing. read more

Man... I had high hopes for this place being close to me and all. Unfortunately, it wasn't a 5 star place in my opinion. My friends and I wanted to try out this place. I looked on Yelp and a picture of the menu from 5 months ago showed tacos at $2.99 each. Decent price. I got there and noticed the price went up tremendously. Same taco that used to be $2.99 is now $4.25 each. Yikes. Nearly a 50% markup in less than 6 months. That was my first disappointment. I ordered both the fried fish burrito and the fried shrimp burrito along with a chicken quesadilla. Since I did takeout, I didn't check my order until I got home. Come to find out, I got a cheese quesadilla with no meat. I called them and they mentioned that they remembered me ordering the chicken quesadillas but they accidentally rang up a cheese one. Quite honestly, I wouldn't pay for the cheese quesadilla since I can easily make it myself. Not worth $7 or whatever it was. The person on the phone apologized but that was it. No offer to make things right. No offer to come by and have them remake it. That was disappointing. Lastly, the burritos were fine, but that's about it. 3/5 stars at best. Maybe it was my fault for getting the fried fish and fried shrimp burritos, but it didn't have the fried crunch that I'd expected from a fried fish or shrimp burrito. Definitely not worth it in my opinion. Will I come back? Probably not. Unfortunate since it's so close to me. read more

Very clean and classic decor. I've always been a fan of this style of Mexican food and I'm very critical of Ensenada style tacos. This place meets my standard of a great battered fish or shrimp taco. Their salsa bar accompanies the food in a tremendous way. The green tomatillo salsa is just smokey enough to pair super well with the seafood. The service was impeccable as they even brought the food to my table. I'll definitely be back to try some of the ceviche and other items. read more

So awesome! New place, super clean, super fresh fare and super attentive. Our ceviche brought back fond memories of our stay in the Yucatan province and their rich food traditions... fish tacos ditto, so fresh and maybe even better when there's a choice of double tortillas to keep them more together. Governator taco is nice but the regular items are at least just as nice. Hopefully they can stay in business for a long time as the prices are really decent.... $26.00 for a very good amount of food and a fresh jamaica drink. read more

First time here and I will say their prices and customer service were the best part of this restaurant. Unfortunately their tacos were very bland and lacked flavor but I did enjoy their rice and beans. If I'm being honest, I think they tasted way better than the tacos. The interior was very clean and there was plenty of seating. I do hope they improve in flavor and do well, but I sadly won't return. read more

Wow! Super fresh ceviche is found right here! I had an Ensenada Fish taco (fried) & shrimp (fried), they had lots of cabbage & pico de gallo too! Melt in your mouth fish & plump shrimp were outstanding in the tacos. Both Next was Tostada Tropical (shrimp cecivhe & mango), fantastic to the end! After that was devoured, I had the Tostada de Aguachile Verde (shrimp ceviche, cucumber, red onion & aguachile sauce) which was delicious & refreshing! Salsa bar is stacked too, with Limes, Habanero sauce, Avo-crema, pickled onions w/ habenaro chile, salsa, cilantto & white onions. read more

Stumbled upon this local gem and to simply put it, the food is delicious! I wasn't expecting anything and I appreciate the effort, care and thought put into the dishes. It may look simple but it's done right. I loved that the vegetables and aromatics are cut small dices and the protein is bite size; together it makes the dish easier to eat and no, one ingredient is overpowering the other. To top it off, their salsas are delightful. Highly recommended, not too many options however, a good variety that feels intentional and complementary to all their dishes. The ambience and service is welcoming, clean and refreshing. It's my 5th time and 10/10 would come back again and again. read more

The seafood dishes are the stars here: tender shrimp, flaky fish, and rich sauces that balance citrus, spice, and freshness just right. Everything tastes vibrant and thoughtfully prepared, not heavy or overdone. Even the sides and salsas feel intentional, adding layers instead of just filling space on the plate. Service is warm and welcoming, the atmosphere is relaxed but lively, and it's the kind of spot that works just as well for a casual lunch as it does for a night out. You leave full, happy, and already thinking about what you'll order next time. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Mexican cuisine and appreciates great seafood done right. read more

It has a charming vintage feel, with beautiful natural sunlight pouring in, making the whole space warm and cozy. Perfect for a relaxing weekend brunch or a casual meal with family and kids. Here are the dishes we highly recommend: Guacamole & Chips Absolutely addictive. The guacamole was fresh, creamy, and packed with flavor. We couldn't stop eating it. Steak Plate The steak was cooked perfectly tender, and the juicy corn underneath soaked up all the delicious flavors. Every bite felt satisfying. Pulled Pork Tacos Super authentic Mexican-style tacos with rich layers of flavor. The combination of refried beans and avocado sauce made them even better. A few small notes: The restaurant was extremely busy, so the staff seemed a little overwhelmed at times. Service was okay overall, but understandable considering how packed it was. Coffee lovers: Their coffee leaned a bit on the sweeter side for us, so if you prefer less sweetness, it's worth mentioning when ordering. Overall, such a fun and lively brunch spot in Old Towne OC. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area!

I've been back to this place a bunch of times since my first visit - my wife has been with me about four times now, and I've even taken my parents. I love that the menu is like a mix of all these different Latin foods, it's like a fusion. The oxtail stew is amazing, and even something simple like a quesadilla, they've got their own twist on it. The service here is always great. We've had great servers, and they're all really friendly and make sure we have everything we need. One thing that can be a bit tricky is finding the parking entrance - it's easy to miss the first time you come here. But once you know where it is, it's not a problem at all.

The server/bartender was warm & welcoming so we decided to have a few margaritas and try a few dishes. We ordered the elote, lomo saltado & shrimp over garbanzo beans. Each dish was very flavorful and had a great kick. Great service, beautiful space and delicious bites - look forward to trying it again!

El Molino de Oro's carnitas burrito is a solid, no-frills winner that hits the spot for authentic…read moreOrange County Mexican food. The carnitas themselves are the star--tender, juicy pork that's been slow-cooked to perfection with that signature crispy edge on some pieces, delivering rich, savory flavor without being overly greasy. It's seasoned just right, with a nice balance of porky goodness and subtle spices that let the meat shine. Wrapped in a large, fresh flour tortilla (they make their own in-house, which always helps), it's stuffed generously with the classics: fluffy Mexican rice, creamy refried or whole beans (depending on your preference, but both work great), chopped onions, cilantro, and a solid dose of salsa. I went with their green salsa for a bright, tangy kick that cuts through the richness perfectly, plus a dollop of sour cream and cheese for that creamy melt. No skimping on portions here--it's hearty and filling, easily a meal that satisfies for hours. At around $10 (give or take, based on current pricing), it's a great value in the area. The burrito holds together well without falling apart mid-bite, and the overall balance of textures--tender meat, soft rice/beans, crisp onions--makes every mouthful enjoyable. If you're in the mood for classic carnitas done right in a casual, bakery-taqueria spot with great salsas and a friendly vibe, this one's definitely worth grabbing. I'd rate it 4.5 out of 5--only docking half a point because it's not reinventing the wheel, but it's executing the traditional style exceptionally well. Highly recommend if you're near 728 N Tustin St in Orange! Pair it with an horchata, yum

The asada was flavorful and well-seasoned, and the beans and rice were classic. My boyfriend went with the carnitas burrito, and it was packed with tender, juicy carnitas and generous portions all around. We also grabbed a flaky pastry in the attached bakery (I didn't catch the name), but it was perfectly buttery and light. Service is always friendly and efficient, even when they're busy, and the vibe feels very local and welcoming. If you're looking for solid Mexican food with consistency you can count on, this is a must.

After spending the morning at the cemetery honoring my aunt's 20-year memorial, our family decided…read moreto gather for a meal at Moreno's Restaurant in Orange -- and it was the perfect place for us to come together. We had a large group of about 30 people, which is never easy for any restaurant to handle, but they accommodated us so well. They seated us at one long table so we could all sit together, talk, and share memories. It meant a lot to keep everyone connected instead of being split up. The food was excellent. I ordered the carne asada plate, and the meat was cooked to perfection -- tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right. You can tell they know how to prepare their dishes with care. For dessert, I had the arroz con leche, and it was amazing. It was the perfect balance of sweetness and comfort, especially after an emotional day. The ambiance truly stood out. The hacienda-style patio with trees created such a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere. The Spanish-style architecture inside, along with the fountain, made the whole experience feel warm and inviting. It has that classic, authentic charm that makes you want to stay and enjoy the moment. Most importantly, the staff was incredible. They were extremely patient, attentive, and very organized -- which is impressive considering we were a party of 30. Everything came out smoothly, and they made sure we were taken care of without making us feel rushed. If you're in Orange and looking for a place with great food, beautiful ambiance, and outstanding service, go to Moreno's. It was exactly what our family needed that day -- good food, a peaceful setting, and time together.

Even when I ask for no cheese guess what I got cheese!!!! Why do restaurants of this type think that Mexicans love cheese....we dont! I blv they do it only when they dont trust their food!. There beans were good but all else was left to be desired. I was really rooting for them bkz the vibe is laid back with uppity feel to it! Im sorry......less cheese is more! Good luck and revise that part of your food! Quit hiding it with cheese!!!
