The asada is juicy and tender and the al pastor has a nice sweetness to it. Quesadilla Harina- This is cheesy and buttery with soft flour tortillas. It has a light sear and hits the spot. Great experience overall!

The asada was pretty typical in my opinion, nothing really too special, but pretty solid. The tortilla they use is quite thick, even if they use 2 tortillas. Although, I actually enjoyed the al pastor one better. It was more greasier, but it tasted more charred and had more flavor to it. It's a small taco truck with no seating around, so it's better to just grab and go.

I literally had to tap out halfway through, and trust me, it wasn't because I wanted to! Now let's talk about the flavor! WOW!! The meat was so juicy, and the sausage was grilled to perfection, with that beautiful char on the outside that gives it so much flavor. Every bite was absolutely delicious! The bread was perfectly toasted, the veggies were fresh, and everything came together so beautifully. I'm definitely someone who eats with my eyes first, and this torta had me excited before I even took my first bite! But the taste? Even better than it looks, and that's saying something! I'm genuinely surprised this place doesn't have a line of people out the door! Granted, I came around 3ish, so maybe I missed the lunch rush. But seriously, where is everybody?! I'm leaving with a full belly, half a torta for later, and absolutely no regrets!

The inside is on the smaller side, but it's cozy, welcoming, and full of festive vibes, with beautiful murals and fun decor that give it so much character. There is also outdoor seating as well. But let's talk about the service! TOP NOTCH! The lovely lady at the register made us feel right at home, like we were part of the family. That kind of warmth and hospitality makes all the difference! We ordered the chicken taquitos combo plate with rice and beans, chips and salsa, and a GIANT bowl of menudo. Everything was delicious! My husband is SUPER picky when it comes to menudo, so when he said it was great, you know it had to be good! And the homemade corn tortillas? OHHH MY GOODNESS! That recommendation absolutely knocked it out of the park! Fresh, homemade tortillas are always a win! Overall, great food, amazing hospitality, and that comforting, homemade Mexican food vibe we love. We're so happy we finally stopped by, and we'll definitely be back for more!

Truck was busy with a never ending line but service was great and friendly. Lots of people so waiting time matched the number or orders. Truck was clean and clean hey offered three different salsa, lime, radish, pickled onions, and salt. Truck has bright lights so way to see at night!

That won't make you go broke. Highly recommend visiting them on Taco Tuesday for the $1.50 tacos. Call ahead to order so you don't wait in line long. Amazing service, delicious food and horchata. They have tables so you can eat there as well. Use the lighter green salsa if you want it spicy. Been a loyal Taco Gutierrez customer for years now. Highly recommend trying.

The arroz con leche was one of my favorites. I could have it every day! The restaurant is also kid-friendly and wheelchair accessible. Overall, a welcoming atmosphere, great food, and excellent service. I'll definitely be back!

Taqueria El Gordito is a casual Mexican restaurant in Santa Ana known for their tacos, burritos,…read moreand combination plates. It's a small shop with no inside seating and not much standing room either. There's a small parking lot with tandem parking in the back. You might also be able to park at the laundromat next door. There's only outdoor covered seating but seems most people order food to go. I got the california burrito ($16) and the super fries ($19.50). The burrito was decent and the super fries were good. The fries were crispy in both and I liked both the asada and adobada meats. I liked that there was a good amount of pico de gallo to balance the heavy meat, cheese, and carbs in both dishes. Note that the super fries normally come with beans so if you don't want them, ask for it without. They don't have a salsa station but instead they ask what sauces you want and they give them to you in prepackaged containers. They are open late which makes for a good spot after a night out.

I ordered everything to go and went with their Tijuana-style tacos--dos tacos de lengua con todo and dos tacos de carne asada con todo--along with green and red salsa and some limes. If you know lengua, you know it needs to be cleaned and cooked a very specific way, and they definitely got that part right. The lengua was cooked well and had a good texture. For my personal taste, though, it was just missing a little salt. Other than that, the food was good. It's a cute, small spot with some outdoor seating. They also have aguas frescas like horchata, pan dulce, and coffee, so there's a little bit of everything. Overall, a nice little neighborhood taqueria to pull up to when you're craving some Tijuana-style tacos.

Tacos come out steaming hot and meat is tender and flavorful! Horchata is always good. The tortas and burritos are great but I think they need to work on wrapping it better. The torta often falls apart and burritos aren't wrapped well enough. Enchiladas are good and the nachos are good. Fish tacos were not good because the sauce was just sour cream and the fish was crispy but not seasoned so the whole taco tasted bland. However, everything else tasted great and is decently priced! There's a self serve salsa bar with green and red sauce, onions and cilantro, and pickled carrots. Service is good they're friendly and food comes out quick. There is plenty of parking and seating inside and outside. The tacos are the stars here.
