3/29/26 Miguel's Jr Orange, CA...Came here with a family member today. I got my Carnitas Crave On once again, I just can't get enough of it! I had a Carnitas Quesadilla with the Serrano Salsa and a Carnitas Taco with green salsa. I definitely recommend you try the Carnitas because it is so mouth-watering good and you can put it in or on top of any other item! I had the refreshing iced horchata to drink to wash all the Carnitas yumminess down! Come give it a try, it's only for a limited time! My son in law had the pork salsa Verde bowl. The place was very clean and welcoming. The workers were very nice. Great visit !!!

Tamales cheese and green chile
Britney M.

Cheese and green Chile tamales all dayyyyyy! I am obsessed with the cheese tamales! They are so good. I've had them at other locations- very good. They were just as good at this location! I think this is my favorite location for cheese tamales. They steam the masa perfectly! I gobbled those tamales down so fast! Delicious! I hit the drive-thru. Service was good. They were quick with it! I was in and out fast, and on my way. I had an appointment to get to, so the drive-thru was perfect. The food was hot and fresh. I had napkins and hot sauce in the bag- perfect! Food tasted amazing. My belly was full. That's a great day if you ask me lol

The Miguel's Trio which is a taco, burrito and lemonade for only 8 dollars is a very good deal especially with the quality. You get a choice between hard and soft shell and chicken and beef. I ended up getting the beef hard shell with the beans, rice and chicken burrito and chips and guac on the side. I personally enjoyed it. However I wasn't the biggest fan of the guacamole. Everything else was pretty good. It wasn't as busy in the dinner hours and service overall is good. I would definitely come back for the $8 deal again.

Glove fingertip extracted from taquito.
William W.

Dropping my review a point. Why do I keep eating here. Today I got the tip of a glove in my chicken taquito. At least there wasn't part of a finger in it. This really reinforces my opinion that management is asleep at the switch.

We drive from a few cities away to come to this Miguel's and we wish they would open one in Yorba Linda! It's delicious, clean tasting Mexican food. The kiddo actually eats the kids meal and always wants a second taco because it's so good. The service is always great. Food comes out quick and the seating area is always so clean. One of our favorite quick dinner spots.

Chips n guac
Jessica G.

Have you ever been to Miguel's Jr.? I know a lot of my Yelp friends have. Been coming here for many years the first location was the Corona. Far drive but worth it, then boom boom boom they started expanding and opened them up all over Orange County. The excitement when that happened was real lol. Always get the El potato it comes with cheese and shredded beef which is amazing. The guac and chip's delicious, love how the chips are fresh. Ordered chicken tamales and a bean rice and cheese burrito. Loved it all, it was busy that day and lots of people in the drive through. I recommend this location it is clean, and the workers were really friendly and nice, the tables were not clean but it's ok. The food and service more than make up for it. If you haven't tried their food I highly recommend that you do just once. The El Potato burrito to me is the best. Have a beautiful day, share kindness to everyone Aloha

The garbage burrito with chili verde pork and the fresh hot sauce
Tommy L.

Miguel's Jr. goes way back. I think it started around 2010, maybe even earlier. Back then, if you were in Riverside, you knew that was the spot. I believe the original Miguel's Jr. was right there, and honestly, nowhere else even came close. Everyone always talked about how great it was, and for good reason. It was always a treat to go there. For me, it was all about one thing, the Garbage Burrito. That was always my go-to, and I'm happy to say it still is. Nowadays, you can find Miguel's Jr. in more locations, and I have to say the quality, the flavor, the freshness, it's all still there. The Garbage Burrito is loaded with slow-cooked refried beans, Spanish rice, cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, fresh guacamole, and sour cream. I always get it with their chile verde pork, which is super tender and full of flavor. The burrito is big, packed full, and leaves me totally satisfied every time. I added their red hot sauce on top in one of the photos, and it gives it just the right amount of heat. Miguel's Jr. isn't just another fast food place. The food tastes homemade, fresh, and authentic. Whether it's your first time or you've been going for years like I have, you can tell they put care into every bite. If you've never been, I definitely recommend checking it out. They've got a full menu of homestyle Mexican food, and the Garbage Burrito with chile verde pork is still one of the best things I've ever had.

Potato burrito with chili verde
Eileen F.

While vehicle shopping and working in the area I seen this place- I've often seen other locations but never stopped- today I did and let me tell you- From the courtesy order taker in drive through to the cashier- they were so polite, respectful, friendly and made me feel welcomed. The first bite of that burrito was delicious! Tortilla was soft and meat and potatoes were savory and cooked just right - guacamole had a kick but was fresh! I got this good size burrito, chips, Guac and a drink for less than $15.00 ~ I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area. Drive through was an easy way to order.

Crispy beef taco
Angela B.

Miguel's Jr is located on Tustin Ave near Katella. It's easy to locate and access. Parking is tricky but plentiful. For convenience, I went to the drive thru today. Two menu boards are up, place your order at the second one. Ordering was easy and the speakers were clear and at a good volume. I was intrigued by the relleno burrito, so I ordered that and a crispy beef taco. Since they were promoting their seasonal pumpkin horchata, I got one of those, too. The burrito is filled with a smallish chile relleno, beans, rice, and cheese. I had higher hopes for this. It was good, but not necessarily crave-worthy. The taco was nice and crispy and the beef was juicy and tender. My favorite of the 2. The pumpkin horchata was like drinking dessert. Very tasty! Not much to say about the ambiance since it WAS drive thru, but I will mention that it was clean and well maintained. The menu boards are modern and easy to figure out and the drive up counter was also modern and clean. The employees I interacted with both at the speaker and at the window were all friendly and efficient. I will say, tho, that the wait in the drive thru was longer than most I've gone through, so keep that in mind if you're in a time crunch. Since the food was decent and the service was great, I'd stop by again if I'm in the area.

Asada burrito (no rice)
Denise P.

I visited Miguel JR in the OC (Tustin St. location). While the place advertises itself as Mexican cuisine, I wouldn't exactly call it fully authentic. Traditional Mexican spots usually use white cotija cheese, but here it's mostly yellow cheese, beans, and not much asada in the burrito. That said, the asada was flavorful, on the salty side. The staff was friendly and pleasant, which made the experience enjoyable. Overall, it's a solid spot for a quick drive-thru meal when you're on the go. If I go back, I'd also be open to trying something else on the menu next time.

Cherry O.

For fast Mexican food I thought it was solid. My 1st trying a Miguel's Jr as I'm not a California native. Work trip to Irvine brought me to the area and I wanted to try this place for their shredded beef tacos. It was delicious and I prefer that over the carne asada street taco. Definitely they give plenty of red sauce which was a great compliment to the meal. I also got the enchilada meal with a taco, a side carne asada street taco, and chips and chunky guacamole. Overall the prices were reasonable for the amount of food you get.

The crowd alone caught our attention, so we decided to give it a try -- and I'm glad we did. Atmosphere: The moment we walked in, the vibe immediately stood out. 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!

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 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.
