    I'm so glad there are a few Miguel's Jr. locations in OC. My usual order is the shredded beef taco along with the rice and beans, but I love their Pozole too. My co-workers always get their burritos. I tried the horchata for the first time today and it's really good! I'll have to get that every time now! And they have a new churro dessert that I had actually suggested they add to their menu a few years ago, and they finally have! If you sign up online, or follow them on social media, you'll get all the special offers and deals, like today they are celebrating reaching 20k followers, so only today you can get 20% off your bill by showing them the email offer. They've also occasionally had Taco Tuesday deals at specific locations, but only when advertised. But whether there's a deal or not, it's always a great time for Miguel's Jr.

    What a tiny burrito. It used to never be like this a few months ago. More profit means less food for us. Chose wisely.

    Its not the same. The burritos are half the size they used to be and the same price. Smaller meals for us but more profit for them. Doesnt seem family oriented like it used to be.

    I'm giving this restaurant a four because I've had some of their other entrées and have enjoyed them more. Their menu is very extensive and I think if I stay away from the breakfast burrito, I will be fine. But this morning, I had their breakfast burrito (the Sunrise) and it's not something I'll have again. Not that anything was seriously wrong, but I wasn't happy with the way the potatoes were cooked, just being soggy more than crunchy. The bacon really didn't overwhelm me either, and it was a lot of fat and grizzle which is slightly expected. But they ended up putting in strips of bacon - as opposed to chopping it up and it didn't blend well with the rest of the ingredients. If you're looking for an awesome breakfast burrito, try Cali Tacos in Santa Ana or Orange. Their hot red sauce is just perfect. Not too hot and seasoned perfectly. It was excellent on the burrito. Like I said, I will be back. Their selection of burritos is pretty good and I really would like to try the wet burrito with the extra sauce and cheese on top. Next time. The service was great. Luz Elena was helpful and courteous. The atmosphere in the restaurant was definitely something that's fun for small groups.

    Chile Verde  Combo ($12,49)- Very good

    Shredded beef flavor is like no other. So juicy and delicious and had been for the 20+ years I've been going to MIguel's all over SoCal. I alwayes get the original burrito but switched it up to Taco / Enchilada combo ($12.38). Beans great, rice just ok. Taco was filled with shredded beef, cheese, lettuce and hot corn tortilla. Enchilada was good as well. My favorite is still the burrito. Chile Verde ($12.49) was very good, not fatty, just quality meat, potatoes and green sauce. The sauce they use for salsa is very runny so don't expect much although it has good flavor.

    I've been coming to Miguel's for a few years, they have good chicken taquitos, good horchata drink and the bean and cheese are not the best but eatable. I was disappointed to know they will not have pozole until January, it's cold now and well after the holidays, what's the point? Their decision... but what I'm really on here for is the tamale I tried today. Since they didn't have pozole, figured I would try their new item, cheese tamales. First of all the price is outrageous. Never in my life have I paid $5 for a tamale! Especially being the size it was, pictures included in my review. The taste was OK and could have used more cheese because most what I tasted was the green chile. $15 more and I could have gotten a dozen elsewhere! So this will be the first and last time I try their tamales, the price should actually be somewhere around $2-$2.50, honest, please consider @Miguels Jr. because I don't think much people are willing to pay what you are asking. If they do, good for them, they can afford it. I gave 3 stars, well because the food I mentioned at start keeps me coming back. This place is pricey and I don't come too often anyways. Oh and if you ever have any guacamole on your items and you placed to go, be sure you get it on side because it turns black almost immediately.

    Loaded Potatoes Bowl
    Jennifer P.

    I ordered the new bowl they are advertising and requested no sour cream, and they put sour cream. But I asked before we left and they fixed it. The guy at the window handed us two small drinks. And I look up to see there drink cups and see the large cups right there. I ask if these are large drinks and they were not, so then they corrected that. I get home to see the contents of this loaded potato bowl and it is so small with virtually no ingredients. This bowl is not loaded with anything. Potato's and chili verde with some onions & I added guacamole instead of sour cream. The loaded potato bowl is $12 And just not worth it. Buy a burrito.

    The tag for my order

    I'm writing a review very disappointed in the staff you have working for you so I had a situation in the past where I came through the drive through. I got a bean and cheese burrito and chips with guacamole. The small order when I got home the chips were stale, and there were hardly any chips in the bag. I called and I spoke to a Francisco, which is what I recall his name being. So this evening, I decided to go back through and get a burrito because I really like the burritos and I let the people know when I was ordering my food about the chips and guacamole being no charge this time. I was like blown off and told oh just come to the front. So when I got to the front, I specifically had told them when I went through the drive-through that my name was on Supposedly on a board or in a book or per Francisco, and the girl gave me such an attitude she was so rude! . She seemed like she went to look and then she comes back and says are you sure because I don't see your name anywhere and we don't have a Francisco that works here. I'm almost positive that what his name,anyway she was so rude. I said I know that I talked to somebody. I believe his name was Francisco and he was going to put my name in a book I said if it's going to be a problem, I'm going to call corporate because she had an attitude and then all of a sudden she comes back to the window and said I owed $5 and some change and was totally rude as she gives me my order as I leave. Totally unacceptable the way she acted shame on her! I didn't get her name. I will attach a picture here of my order so you can see the timeframe that I was there and know the staff that was working at that time anyways I'm not looking for any free handouts. I'm making a point that customer service is important and this girl had a major attitude to be working With the customers directly handing over their food. Also, I was so upset. I called the store. I spoke to some guy. I told him I need to speak to the manager and then the phone was picked up and it sounds exactly like the girl who gave me an attitude and she said she was the manager and then she just blew me off again. And was completely rude so maybe if you're going to hire people you should make sure they're NOT going to be rude to the customers!! also I plan to report this to corporate for totally unacceptable uncalled for unprofessional Customer Service oh and btw my name was in fact in the book the whole time.

    Serving size is light for the cost of how much it is. 12 something dollars for this is over priced at least put some lettuce on the place or something.

You definitely want to make sure you get there for happy hour and Taco Tuesday especially, $10 Margaritas $4 tacos and these are not cheap tacos. These are like serious tacos that will fill you up. Their salsa is great, not super spicy and makes great for munching while you're talking with friends. The margaritas are definitely strong, which is nice, as some places tend to water them down for happy hour. I would say that this is a great choice to go check out and have a taco or two or three or four. I had the carne asada, the carnitas, and the pastor, every single one of them was perfect and the salsa that they came with was out of this world. Bottom line? This is a great place for Taco Tuesday as well as just a hangout and have a drink after work. Whenever I am in Costa Mesa. I am definitely coming here again.
