Dude! I mean, it doesn't get much better than this. They have all different kinds of meats but my favorite are the carnitas. Now, you can have these in two ways. Just regular or sin cueritos. These are without the tender pork skin still attached to the meat. Think of it as a 50/50 of meat and skin, half way on the road to being chicharrónes. Oh, they also have great freshly made chicharrónes!! Not to mention, the hand made tortillas are he best. They have a variety of aguas frescas at all times, not always the same ones. They might not have your favorite one the day you go, but it's the perfect opportunity to try a new one. I haven't had one I didn't like. There are other drinks as well. Your selection is unlimited. The 5-door fridge has all kinds of beverages, including beer and soda. Remember that this place, prior to its transformation, was a local neighborhood butcher shop and mini-market called Rubio's Carnicería. If you haven't made it here, you must!! This is the way. read more

Got myself 3 tacos. From La primavera. Located in the same plaza as Home Depot. Attached to a market. They do have an option for in house tortilla. These tacos are about 5 bucks compared to 3. And they are much bigger. Lamb Barbacoa. If you like lamb. It's pretty good. Just a touch of the gamey flavor not too much. Carne asada is ok. Not too much flavor in my opinion Chicarron in salsa is pretty good What shines here is the salsa. It's thicker and lots of flavor. Make sure to grab extra. Also their onions are bomb. read more

La Primavera - This was found inside my torta it's a metal twist the wire torta is really good tho - Tacos Near Me - Orange, California

I had a completely average bacon breakfast burrito and paid $14! Usually place with so many obvious health code violations would be cheaper.

The food was ok. The cook was friendly to me. I spoke Spanish to everyone from the moment I walked in, and was polite to the only 2 staff members. It was taco Tuesday. I ordered 2 carne asada tacos. I was over charged for each taco. They charged me 2.97 per taco before sales tax. When it should have been 1.99 before sales tax. The decore is humble, but well kept. If you come on a Tuesday expect to pay full price. The tacos taste just like any other street tacos off of Tustin Ave. read more

La Primavera - Here is a picture of the sale for taco Tuesday. - Tacos Near Me - Orange, California

Looked promising, but never got to try the food as when I showed up 30 min before the 8 pm posted closing time for the establishment, "the restaurant is already closed". If I ever get the chance to come back and try the food, I will amend my rating. read more

awful awful awful service. I didn't even have a chance to TRY to like this place. I don't know if they just didn't like me or what. I specifically asked if the chiliquiles were Spicy And if so, I'd like the sauce on the side. I cannot eat spicy per doctor orders. she told me, the sauce is nottttt spicy, I said okay great. she brings me the order, ONE bite in, I'm suffering. its like they made it extra spicy because I asked if it was spicy or something. it's RIDICULOUS it was like satan himself spat this out to give to me. so I tell her, this is spicy, way to spicy. I can't even eat this, I'm red and sweating, my mouth is on fire and I'm upset. she says "sorry nothing I can do for you, that's how they were made." I said "I asked you though, can i just order something else." mind you, I took ONE bite, that was all i needed to know I couldn't eat his even if I tried. she said "no you can't order something else and had to pay for this." I said excuse me, I didn't eat it, i cant eat it. She said "oh well you're going to pay for it." I said if I pay for it I'm going to have to leave a review. she said "go for it, I don't care" I was shocked. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and discovered this hidden gem my boyfriend and I love this place so muchhh .Amazing authentic Mexican food and it's also a nice small market with mexican snacks. Love it here it has become our favorite spot read more

The food is amazing! You can get homemade tortillas made fresh while you wait. We love the carnitas. It's mostly a take out style spot. Perfect for grab and go! read more

Meat was rotten . I only took 2 bites of their carne asada burrito before realizing something wasn't right . I immediately felt sick after eating here read more

Yum! This hole in the wall place is awesome! Real authentic Mexican food. The staff is so friendly. Their taco Tuesday specials are 99 cent tacos. Got three al pastor tacos. So filling and good. Their beef fries are good too. Everything was fresh and flavorful. It's in the Home Depot plaza. Very busy on a Tuesday. You order at the counter, but the boss said we can pay at the end. That's really nice and unheard of in the USA! Will return on Tuesdays! read more

Best beans n rice ever! I'm going back now to get more... possibly get some of the meat to see how the rest of the food taste.

Stumbled on a rare Jem in Orange, Ca. This place has not a single negative. People were nice, friendly, welcoming. Food was fresh, they suggested the tacos and since it was breakfast I asked them to throw egg on top. It was heaven in my mouth. This place was full of local Mexican men. Walking in with my blonde hair I felt out of place but welcomed. Nice people. Excellent food. Now, off to drive 8 hours to tahoe. read more

La Primavera - Churon. You eat this as an app with your drinks. Haven't tried but looks amazing - Tacos Near Me - Orange, California

I come here for only one thing... freshly made chicharonies. It's better than what you can get in the bag and very addictive. Makes me want to get some more now. read more

Handmade tortillas and the chicharrones are the best thing here. They shouldn't even give you the option for a regular tortilla. The meats were fine, carne asada being the best one. Tender and juicy. Carnitas were also tender but maybe a little underseasoned. The lime helps. Broke a personal rule and ordered al pastor when there was no spit present. Disappointment. Marinaded pork that just wasn't that good. Chicharron was super meaty. Really great. Friendly service. read more

All new ownership. They cleaned up this little place and it's a WOW! Chicharonies are DA BOMB! Fresh and not airy. The taco combos are very inexpensive and taste like homemade. The al pastor is the best but my wife loves the carne asada. Not a real sit down spot. More of a grab and go. It's a traditional carniceria with bottled drinks to go. Don't be intimidated by the look. The people running the store are super nice and friendly. read more

Gotta love these hole in the wall places... I came in for some tostadas for dinner and I walked out w 2 tacos for lunch... carnitas and pastor... soo delicious!!! Hand made tortillas, super flavorful meat, and delicious salsa... cant go wrong... will be back for sure. read more

This place is new and way improved! The meat is fresh and very reasonably priced. The tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and tortas are super tasty. They have birria, chorizo, asada, carnitas, al pastor (which I've tried and loved) and several others which i haven't tried. They have warm churros!!! Delicious! And raspados. Yummmmmm! The thing that stands out the most is the friendly service. All 3 gentlemen are super nice and very helpful. Give it a try, it's close to my house and now my go to market! I decided to update because I've become a frequent shopper. The meat here is fresh and reasonably priced and cut to your liking. Try it! read more

I live in Anaheim Hills and was looking for an authentic taco spot that wasn't extremely far. Seen the Yelp reviews and thought I'd check this place out. First thing I asked about was their tacos. Tortillas are fresh and hand made. They have a variety, but I tried their birria, asada, and al pastor tacos. All three kinds were delicious, but I have to say that their al pastor is my favorite!!! I am extremely picky with al pastor, but their meat was soft, moist, and extremely well seasoned...I will definitely be back! I also tried an agua fresca de melon, bomb.bom! This is a small meat market that sells food, but the food is so worth it. I found my new taco spot near home! =) read more

This place has improved 150 percent with the new family that bought it. Great people good food great environment very very important in the meat market. read more

Best Handmade tacos in Orange County!!! Tortillas are made right there in front of you! If you want authentic Mexican tacos like you find in Mexico, this is the place to go. Tacos are huge too! The carne asada tacos are really good! read more

Great food. If you like authentic Mexican food this is your place. The staff were friendly. We had a party catered and they put it all together and helped me out to the car. Our guests really enjoyed it, especially the green salsa. read more

Tried La Primavera for the first time today. It didn't disappoint! Amazing tacos and nachos. Had the carne asada, carnitas, and pollo tacos. All amazing. Service was excellent as well. Will definitely go back! read more

Great Food and Great People!!! A must to try if your in OC!!!! Tacos are great, beans and rice are delicious and the price is right!!!!

La Primavera (this location) appears to have changed ownership &/or employees a few times, however, the quality & amount of food continues to impress. I only go early in the day to avoid the lunch rush & after ordering, usually walk next door to Produce World. The employees are pleasant & the carne asada burrito, imo, is excellent. Because I can walk to this location, I can enjoy some exercise & a meal. read more

Being raised in Orange, naturally trying nearly every taqueria and Mexican restaurant in this city.. It's so close to the house I was raised in for the last 25 years I've been kicking myself in the head since I first tried it... after the first carne asada burrito with horchata I knew it was true love right away lol. But really, the carne asada alone is the best I've had at a taqueria- juicy, seasoned chunks that are finely grilled instead of plain, often ground asada like half the other places around here. And they put sauteed onions in the burrito too! And some kind of creamy sauce that i assume came along with the onions is great. The red hot sauce that they make is alone, better than any I've had. The asada burrito is so good that I continue ordering it each time, there's no need to try anything else when I could eat this every day for the rest of my life! You can tell when you eat there that they really put love into their food. And the horchata, also the best... You know when u try homemade horchata for the first time and realize the junk u tried before was instant horchata? This horchata made the other homemade horchata seem like it was the instant junk from the packet!! I didn't know it was possible to make it so good! And the girls working in kitchen.. just like the horchata they are incredibly sweet lol and their smiles are contagious. I'm a wherito but my best friend was hispanic and the staff here are so friendly they made me feel right at home. So much so that every time I go I can't help it but to throw a dollar or two in the tip jar before I get my food and this is the only place I have ever felt that is necessary. My only complaint is that the kitchen closes early, I believe 4 or 5 pm. read more

This is the best little place we all like great food for everyone in the family. I a big fan of there Sopes, Posole, Tortas de carne asada. I highly recommend you visit this place with your family. read more

Mmmm! So good! This is a carniceria with tables inside and out. It's different and has a casual back in mexico feel. Eat legit tacos or Carne asada etc. And get some Mexican groceries on the way out! I like seeing my Carne asada being pulled from the display fridge so u know it's fresh. They are super nice and play old Mexican music on the radio. Something about that feel that's better than a restaurant. Got some pelon and mazapán on the way out! :) read more

See all

My brother bought a tray of shrimp ceviche and salsa for a party recently and everyone including myself thought is was very good. There must have been at least 5 pounds of shrimp ceviche and it didn't last long! I loved the salsa as well. I look forward to trying other menu items as well in the future. read more

We tried the cabeza, al pastor, and carnitas tacos, as well as the spinach/pineapple agua. All were really good. The guy behind the meat counter gave us a sample of ceviche that was tasty. We would have taken ceviche to go but we would be out for a few more hours and didn't bring a cooler. read more

I was looking for taco shop near me earlier today & this one came up through Yelp. I went in, and I realized it was a small space but a liquor & meat market as well. Me & my friend ordered burritos and they were pretty good. There was a couple of really nice guys working there, & they were very attentive. They began to to tell us they just took over the business and are quite new, so I decided to also take some marinated meat home. Overall, I thought my food and meat was really good and inexpensive. Really close to home so definitely will be coming here more often! read more
