Fish  taco
Sb W.

Great fish taco & great ceviche tostada! Place was busy, obviously a popular spot. Service was very attentive & food fresh & delicious!

Hair!!!!
Lynda N.

First time trying out this place. Took a bite then open up the taco to add more sauce... There's hair in my taco. Say no more! Threw out all 3 tacos.

Not exactly the best service, it wasn't crowded but only 1 or 2 waitresses, the food was ok, nothing spectacular, the price not cheap, hopefully they invest in more people to serve faster and efficiently, at the end we wait for the pot to be processed, another person came to pick up the card. The place have potential with a good management, they have tables outside also and there's plenty of parking.

Shrimp ceviche
Desiree L.

This is my favorite mariscos restaurant in all of Orange County . Their prices are great for the portions they serve. Their seafood is always fresh and the quality is excellent. They always serve your food within 5 to 8 minutes after you order. There is plenty of seating and it is always clean which makes me confident their kitchen area is also well kept. I highly recommend stopping by to try, you won't be dissatisfied.

Tostada de camaron

Love this spot. The food was on point. Very fresh and refreshing. They were super nice to me they even put the Dodgers game for me. in Anaheim. I will definitely be back for some more cravings of ceviche.

La comida está deliciosa, tienen una salsa de la casa que hace las tostadas súper ricas. El servicio amigable, muy lindas. Solo no me gustó que utilizan platos/cucharas desechables en plena crisis ambiental

shrimp ceviche
Kim T.

If you are craving ceviche, this is the place for you. I tried both the shrimp and fish ceviche tostada, and while both were good, the shrimp one was better! You can get this for yourself, or to share with others. They give extra limes on the side in case you want to add more to the ceviche. There is both seating inside and outside, and it is quite home-y feeling inside. Not all of the servers speak English, but don't let that stop you from coming and trying!

food here is okay but seems pretty authentic. the marlin taco is in a hard shell taco and has cheese and crema. this is pretty good but the marlin meat was on the drier side. the fish taco was not good at all, the soft taco shell was cold and taco could've used more flavor. the ceviche is pretty good but a little too limey for my preference!

All the sauces!

The review that says "they don't speak English.." **eyeroll** BFF was digging in the trash for work earlier in the day. We were supposed to have dinner in Brea but, she had to go home and shower. We ended up here because her husband said "you can't have sushi because I want sushi but, I have to go to work." So we come to yelp... What a pleasant surprise! I like how it's a small menu, small restaurant, and friendly service. Everything my BFF and I had, we enjoyed. Botana de camaron, pulpo y aguachile - super fresh, had all the things and you know I am extra. I want to try a little of everything! Taco de camaron and taco de pescado - we ordered 1 of each to try and share. YUM. We were told that we need to get the Marlin taco. Ostiones - tasted fresh and hit the spot Michelada - the mix is amazing! My friend ended up getting some to-go for her husband. She ordered enchiladas togo for her husband and he really enjoyed it. I can't wait to bring my husband to this gem. I want to try the soups! I love soups. Our server was awesome. She was super helpful and friendly.

Two shrimp ceviche tostadas, taco de marlin, aguachiles, and micheladas.

I'm a big fan of ceviche and I've actually come to Mariscos Mocorito a few times already throughout the years. What I love is the shrimp ceviche and the taco de marlin. I would say those are their best items in my opinion. Their micheladas are excellent. Some of the cons are that the service and ambiance are not the best and the restaurant was very cold the last time I went. The servers are not very friendly. Our server actually dropped some cucumbers from our dish on the floor and then didn't replace them. The avocado on my tostada de ceviche was also pretty hard :/ I appreciate businesses having ACs, but the day I came it was freezing.

Their goal was to bring the bold flavors and oversized San Diego-style burritos and tacos to Orange County. These lumberjack portions definitely make you like you're getting bang for your buck. It's crazy to think they would be able to profit in the amount of servings they give, but in reality, it's really quantity over quality. I got their Angel burrito and I remembered it was a humungous! I was just so happy to have lunch and dinner for later. It was jammed packed with protein and their sauces were good too. Make sure to not have any obligations afterwards, because you'll most likely knock out due to food coma. The only sad part about this experience is that I've had eaten here 3x already and I've been stricken with stomach ache twice already, so that's when I know that there's something not fresh about the place. I usually have a strong stomach for greasy or unhealthy food but there's just something here that always messes me up. So eat with caution if you come here! But the value is there but not worth the trouble if you know what I mean.

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.

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

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.
