My dad and I go here a lot. The asada tacos but prime it up....chefs kiss. It would be my last meal before I go . If you ask me, its better than Tacos Los Cholos with 10x less the wait!! The salsa & topping station is really convenient. The vibe is pretty fun too! Had to cut back because I was spending too much money on Primecut . Heres some photos of my tacos... no judgement get it.. its not there cuz I ate it all! read more

I was craving some tacos recently and heard about Primecut on social media not too long ago, and had to try them out. I went for lunch on my first visit, enjoyed what I ordered, and can't wait to go back to try more of the menu. As you walk up to the cashier and glance at the menu, you can see the flaming grill action in the kitchen, where all the meats and other foods are prepared. I ordered a couple of tacos and sides. I went for the premium meats like Arrachera (outside skirt steak) and Costilla (chopped beef ribs). Both meats were flavorful, cooked well, and piled generously on the tortillas. I ordered the rice-and-beans side, and both were delicious, especially when adding more ingredients from the salsa bar. Highlights: - Flavorful, mesquite-grilled meats and plenty of offerings on the menu - The variety of salsas and condiments bar is solid - Taco Tuesday deals - Indoor and outdoor seating - Chill atmosphere and pleasant decor - A few TVs to watch sports - A few more locations in the OC The staff was kind, and the service was efficient. We got our dine-in order within 5-10 mins. The dining area and salsa bar were clean and tidy. We arrived around 1 pm, so we missed most of the lunch crowd. Price-wise, it's a bit on the premium side, but it's still a nice treat once in a while. They also add a small fee for card payments, so I prefer to pay with cash when I can. 4.5/5 Rating overall. read more

Food: 10/10 for taste, 7/10 for price. Their tacos are delicious but on the pricier side. However, you do get a lot of meat and could technically make 2 tacos with the meat they give you. My favorite was the tripas and pollo. Service: My fiancé and I went on a Sunday evening and it was busy. You order at the counter and then sit down with a number. The seating is first come first serve. The food is made fresh to order, so it took about 10 minutes to get our tacos. Good thing we ordered chips and guacamole, which were a decent portion and fresh. Ambiance: Restaurant has indoor and a small outdoor area for seating. The indoor area can get loud and it being a small restaurant, people who order to-go are typically crowding around the salsa/ topping bar while waiting for their food. Overall, I would definitely go again, maybe when it's a little less busy. read more

Overall a decent taco spot with higher quality meat options. They had an inside open fire grill for the meat so you know it's all about that grilled taco meats. The tripa, asada, and ribeye tacos were good and I loved the hot sauces bar. Also got the adobada and filet mignon tacos and they were just ok sort of dry. Guac and chips were Normal nothing too special about the guac felt like just mashed avocado. Inside is nice and modern ish and not your typical hole on the wall taco spot. I'd visit again. read more

A friend referred me here while I was craving tacos, and it did not disappoint. I ordered four--Carne Asada, Chicken, Octopus, and Tripas--and the quality was exceptional across the board. You can really taste the smokiness in the meat, and the serving sizes are very generous. The salsa bar is another huge plus; they have a great variety of salsas, plus fresh cucumbers, radishes, onions, and cilantro so you can customize your tacos exactly how you like them. Pro-tip: Get there before the rush! The place gets packed very quickly, but it's 100% worth it. I'll definitely be back. read more

I ordered on DoorDash so I haven't actually been in the restaurant. But I was having some DoorDash issues and I called the restaurant and they were soooo helpful! Which tells me the customer service is great I ordered the asada Mexican pizza, piña agua fresca and churro cookie. I loved the asada (skirt steak) Mexican pizza. So Flavorful!!! I'd probably ask for extra onions next time and I love the roasted peppers on the side they were sooo spicy and delicious!! The meat was cooked perfectly. Piña agua Fresca was very sweet and light. I like drinks that have more tartness but I do appreciate the pineapple chunks it added an element of freshness The churro cookie was good. Idk that I'd order it again. read more

This is such a Fullerton gem! I came across it on a random Saturday night awhile back, and now I come here whenever I crave tacos! Their chicken is always so delicious as they are in larger chunks, and their asada (beef) is amazing in tacos and their burritos!! On top of everything, their sauces are super delicious, even for people like me who don't handle spice super well. Their loaded papas (potato) IS SOO GOOD! The potato isn't dry at all and the chicken on top of everything was super delicious! I also recommend adding guac as it just tied everything together so well. Always a great time here :) read more

I ordered one asada, one adobada, and one rib eye taco, oh and a Diet Coke! I sidled up to the salsa bar and was excited to try the salsas! I went for the spicy end of the range. There is a medium heat green Serrano salsa and a spicy orange habanero salsa! I loaded up on those and also got some spicy pickled onions, cucumber, radish, cilantro, and raw onion. The tacos arrived naked! Nothing but meat and what appears to be home made corn tortillas! I loaded them up and they were incredible! Loads of meat, loads of flavor, and loads of HEAT!! The adobada was very tasty and had a bit of a char on it. The asada and the ribeye were amazing. I don't know if it's worth getting the ribeye tacos for the premium price. Even though the meat was cut into larger chunks and it was really good, I think the classic asada would have been good enough. Hmmmm, I may have to try the ribeye one more time just to confirm that statement! I'm so excited that this place is close by! I'll definitely be going back. read more

New favorite taco spot unlocked ! The meat quality was so good , I got a carne asada burrito and adobada tacos, and both were. I'm a big beans and rice person too -- the rice was a little different from what I'm used to, but still decent. Everything else though? So good. The salsas and sauces were a standout , tons of options and all super flavorful. Overall, I'd 100% go back. If you haven't tried it yet, it's a must! I also like how it's very close to me haha! read more

Prime cuts on your choice of burritos, tacos, pizza, nachos, tortas, quesadillas, and mulitas. We opted for the Prime Rib Eye Mexican Pizza. The meat was bursting with flavor and they were generous with the meat portion. Salsa bar had a large variety of different salsas, radish, limes, cucumbers, and pickled onions. It was steady with a large crowd throughout the evening. Worth the wait. read more

I have tried the prime cut at HB a while a ago that was a good experience. I was driving by and spotted that they were in my town at Yorba Linda. Over all food was ok. My meat was not cooked to my liking was over done. The amount of meat for the premium price was too little in my opinion. I ordered the fish taco as well that thing barely had any fish As i said the food was okay but does not justify the price for the portion. The staff were very nice and food came out really fast. I would recommend having the tables be a bit cleaner and the doors/ windows theyre all smudged up. read more

Got myself a new fav taco spot !! Primecut taqueria is solid. Tacos today. 3 tacos. 7.50. Few more bucks for premium. Plenty of meat. Enough for 2 tacos honestly. Flavors are on point. Good char flavor. The only taco I like from the premium is the tripa. To me paying extra for is not worth it. Chicken not dry. Adobada super flavorful. Love the salsas here. So many choices. Place is legit read more

Ordered the burrito bowl w/chicken and no onions. Chicken is white meat, which I prefer. The price is a little high, but they give a very generous portion of meat. Salsa bar has tons of options, I tried most of the mild and medium salsas and my favorite is the mild green salsa. Restaurant is alway busy, loud and hard to find a seat. Service is a little slow, but they are good, so you should give them a try. read more

Taco Tuesdays, standard meat selections are 3 tacos for $7.50+. I've tried most of their tacos, just to try them, and I think the regular selection is the best bang for your bucks. The prime selection is okay, but can get super costly. This is having street taco stuff, in a clean restaurant environment, with modern convenience. The condiment/salsa bar is outstanding, more sauces that necessary. More options is always good. Cilantro, onions, red onions, lime, everything to kick up the food. read more

Primecut Taqueria - Check what they're charging you - Tacos Near Me - Placentia, California

First impression: the restaurant felt very unkempt. The floors were dirty, tables hadn't been cleaned, and we actually had to clean our own table because most were still messy. For a place in this condition, the pricing is outrageous. The food was average at best and definitely not worth what they're charging. The bar area was also dirty and disorganized, which only added to the poor experience. They don't accommodate even minor menu modifications, and the fact that they don't serve basic lettuce--only spring mix--was just another odd and frustrating detail. Overall, completely overpriced, poorly maintained, and not somewhere I would return. read more

I would not recommend this business, they need some adjustments. For an overpriced $30 we got a small chicken quesodilla and chorizo nachos. I was so surprised when I didnt see pastor meat on the menu, its my favorite and the girlfriend asked what is the adobada meat and the front cashier said 'oh its just like carne asada'. Deff need training on that end, because it is in fact pastor. We also ordered our meal to go and after waiting 25 minutes (it wasn't even busy, and they have 5 people in the back) they gave us our order inside the restaurant and not to go, adding even more time on the wait. Frustrating and disappointed that they put refried beans on the bottom of the nachos making the nachos soggy upon eating them. We live the next street over, 2 minutes away and it was soggy, thats such an odd choice. They do have a large selection of sauces inside and the chicken quesodilla was really delicious, but not enough for us to come back. read more

I'd been meaning to check out this place weeks ago after being recommended it by someone who had family working here. And it's pretty good. The adobada burrito had the hallmark of using super fresh meat butchered in-house I believe and being super tender. The rest of the burrito was very tasty as well. It only needed a little coaxing with some onions, cilantro, and green salsa as it was a bit bland at the outset. I definitely would have this burrito again in the same manner. I'm also insanely curious about the loaded papas entree as I only recently introduced to this a few months ago at another food joint. Over there they called it papa loka, but I suspect the upgrade in meat here would make it more adventurous. And, of course, I would want to try the nachos because who doesn't like nachos? The staff was friendly if a bit curt. That's what happens when you have a bit of a line. And while I hate feeling rushed during the ordering process, I understood. The space is a bit small and I'm not sure would be conducive to a good chill spot with friends and family, or a good place to read a few chapters of a book after dinner. It felt more pressured, like they would want you to vacate after taking your last bite, but that may have been more the tight confines and not wanting to take up real estate with other patrons waiting. At any rate it did put me in a mild state of unease eating here. All in all, not my ideal spot for a regular food joint, but the food is excellent and I did enjoy it. The rest I'm sure I can learn to accept with repeated visits. read more

My family and I have truly loved coming to this restaurant. We usually enjoy ordering a variety of their tacos, and we've always appreciated the distinct, smoky BBQ flavor that comes with their grilled meats. We understand that since the meat is barbecued, a few charred spots here and there are to be expected--it's part of the style. However, there is a big difference between "charred" and burnt black. Lately, we've noticed this happening more often, but our most recent visit was the breaking point. We ordered four tacos and a side of fries, which came out to over $50. For that price point, you expect a certain level of quality. Unfortunately, every single one of the four tacos was served completely burnt. Since we took our order to-go, we didn't realize the extent of the damage until we got home. We couldn't even go back to return them, resulting in a wasted $50 and no dinner for the family. It's great to see this business doing so well and getting busy, but that shouldn't mean sacrificing the quality of the food. Serving meat that is this consistently burnt is simply not acceptable. This was a very disappointing experience for a long-time customer. read more

Had a solid lunch at Primecut Taqueria! I got three tacos, pollo, asada, and arrachera. The pollo and asada were solid, what I'd expect, but the arrachera skirt steak taco was the star.

Service when ordering and bringing out food, and restocking the salsa bar is great. The service time from ordering food and bringing it out took a long time. So excited this place had fat thick fries!! So filling and cooked well. Generous with guacamole! Just wish salsa bar had pico de gallo, but the Mild aka Avocado Sauce is very good. Love the salsa bar options with 5+ sauces, white onions, pickled onions, cilantro, cucumber and limes. The chicken bowl was good, but too much white onion. Both very simple ingredients. Fries just had cheese, meat, sour cream and guac. Chicken bowl has rice, cilantro and onion. Ambiance is VERY small place, and there were two different songs playing at the same time, in the restaurant and in the kitchen, which you can clearly hear both and was kind of annoying. Music is loud too. read more

Primecut Taquería is located off of Yorba Linda Blvd near Kraemer. It is easy to locate and access. Parking is limited for the size of this shopping strip. If you come during peak hours, be prepared to park on the side or behind the building. This is a fast/casual establishment where you order at the counter and your food is brought to you when it's ready. The menu board is pretty straightforward: bases are listed (EX: tacos, burritos, nachos), followed by choice of proteins, and lastly add-ons and drink options. Beverage options include bottled soda, soda fountain, horchata, and beer. Pleased to find that they serve Coca Cola products here! The order taker was friendly and helpful to answer questions from this first timer. The kitchen area is visible from the counter and the cooks kept an amicable, rhythmic pace. The dining area has, in my opinion, too many tables to the point where it feels too crowded. Someone in a wheelchair would definitely have a hard time rolling between the tables. Some reconfiguration or downsizing should be considered. They do have a half dozen or so tables and chairs set up right in front of the store for dining al fresco. Their loaded papas caught my eye, so I decided to give it a try with the costilla meat. I also added on the Anaheim chile with cheese. My friend chose the surf and turf taco. We also got 3 different mild salsas from the salsa bar to try. The papa itself was ginormous! I was told it had butter and cheese in addition to the meat, so it sounded good. I also added the Anaheim chile on the side, but I guess it's normally served as a topping, because that's how it was brought to me. For the size of the potato, it needed more butter. The cheese was toasted/melted to drape over the sides. This also needed more than what was served. The cheese-stuffed Anaheim chile reminded me of a naked chile relleno ~ I actually really enjoyed it. The meat was just okay. If I didn't know it was supposed to be chopped beef ribs, I would've thought it was ground beef. Maybe because of how it's seasoned?? If I were to order this again, I would definitely ask for more butter and sour cream would also be nice. My friend really enjoyed her surf and turf taco. While the service was great, overall I would give Primecut Taquería 3.5 stars. read more

I came here for a lunch meeting and was not expecting too much because trendy taco places are kind of everywhere right now. But this place did not disappoint. I went with their premium cut ribeye for my keto taco and it was cooked to perfection and delicious.

Don't come to this part of town very often, but we'll try to make it back out because this place was very good. read more

I was craving a burrito and craving fulfilled! It's my first time trying Primecut. I've always loved Tacos Los Cholo so was wondering how it compared. So far not bad the arabchera burrito I tried today was delicious! Perfect ratio of beans to meat, it hit the spot. Bonus - tortilla tasted homemade.. I could be wrong, but it was a really good tortilla. Meat was super tender, but tasted more like carne asada than Aranchera- was missing a little favor. None the less it was a really good. Next time I'll try their tacos. Can't wait! I can't really comment on their service. Since I ordered online and picked up.. so had limited interaction with the staff. However I can add ordering is convenient for pick up. Just order ahead on their website. They also have seating inside and outside. read more

This place just hits the spot perfectly. I've had the tacos and the potato here, and I have loved every bite. They tend to forget the guac when ordered on the side but make it right when reminded. The portions are fair for the money. This place will satisfy any Mexican food cravings. read more

It's basically Tacos Los Cholos rebranded under a different name and with a cleaner, friendlier aesthetic. There's another location in Huntington Beach and I know opening a business called Tacos Los Cholos over there would not last long, but Primecut Taqueria sounds like a USDA approved fast casual taco eatery. Literally found this place by typing in "Lunch" in the search bar for Yelp and this was one of the top places listed. They are located 2 doors down from Bodhi Leaf Coffee which means parking will suck. I already know this place needs to move to a bigger location just from my experience today. You can find more parking on the north west side of the strip mall by the bank. Inside it has a small dining area with lots of seating, but I predict it won't be enough in about a month or two once the word is OUT. I was there during the lunch hour and it was packed with no place to sit and locals just having a leisurely chat even though they finished their food a while ago. I ordered my food via their website and was quoted a wait time of 15 minutes. Arrived 15 minutes later, there was a line to order and no sign for online pick-up orders. There's a microphone on the other end of the counter but no one manning it. I checked in at the register and waited another 10 minutes with other patrons for my order. I checked out the salsa bar, same salsas as Tacos Los Cholos. They also have agua frescas and bottled beer. I ordered their nachos and it allowed me to select from a list of meats at no additional cost so I got asada and adobada. Cost with tax was around $17 which is standard pricing for good nachos in O.C. They don't skimp on the meat at all and I will say, I usually can only find nachos like that in the mom and pop Mexican food places in Santa Ana, Riverside, L.A. (you get it), but they had it here in Placentia which is convenient. The chips are the thicker ones that don't go soggy within 5 minutes of getting your order (Cafe Rio) and the beans were good. My only issue is they used a lot of pepper on the carne asada. It almost tasted like I was eating the gravy from Kentucky Fried Chicken and I don't know if the excess pepper was on purpose or an oversight, but other than that, solid box of nachos. So yes, I prefer Tacos Los Cholos because the meat is primo quality and flavor is 10/10 every single time, at both the Anaheim and Fullerton locations. This place has the same exact grill that they use at Tacos Los Cholos in their kitchen, meat is excellent, the portion size is on par with really good Mexican food spots, it's just the overuse of pepper for me. You should really stop going to Chipotle and start coming here. read more

One of my go to taquerias! Always the best food, have yet to experience them on a day bad. The amount of meat they packed in the quesadillas, burritos and tacos is worth the price to pay. We were lucky enough to come in-between their rush hours. The staff were great and efficient. Tables were kept clean and easy to find space. Not too loud for how many people were in there. Whether ordering online (my first trip) or ordering in person, the food comes out fresh and delicious every time. read more

My daughter has been in search for her new taco spot since her local fav closed down and I believe she has found it. This is the 4th day in a row that she has legit begged me to get her. Service is great, especially Jorge who is super friendly and helpful... very welcoming. Located across the street from Mr D in Placentia where pickup stinks is at. - Burritos are huge and come with lightly friend tortilla, rice, cheese, beans and your choice of meat. - Tripas is unique for us as we do not see it often but it they do it perfectly here - Pollo is very flavorful and not as boring as one would think, very well done here - Adobada is similar to Al Pastor - Pork Belly has a very strong charred bbq taste that I personally enjoy Can't wait to come try the other meats at our new favorite taqueria! read more

We LOVE this place! Amazing food, service, and prices! The salsa bar is so good--delicious salsas, pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. They have different quality of meats which is so unique for this area. You can choose from standard, prime, and premium. We've tried them all and you can't go wrong. The better quality meat is definitely worth the price but the standard selection is great too. You order at the counter and they serve you at your table. Casual atmosphere but it still has a nice vibe with authentic paintings on the walls. Primecut has become our new taco Tuesday spot. We come nearly every Tuesday and the four of us are so full for under $45. Definitely give this place a try if you haven't already. Totally worth it. read more
