This year's 6 to 6 event at the Orange County Fairgrounds seem to have less vendors both on the…read morefood side and on the product side. The plus side this time around is that they have a completely covered area to eat your food. Picnic benches are laid out with a full awning. Parking is still great. Prices have gone up for both the tickets and parking so be prepared to pay $15 for parking and $15 to get inside. Services dependent on what vendor you buy your food from some will accommodate the request and others will not. Of course if there's no accommodation to the customer, they've lost my business.

So FoodieLand acquired 626 Night Market in October 2025 and this was my first time visiting since…read morethe new corporate ownership. [Parking]: $15 per vehicle for on-site parking just to enter the OC Fair & Event Center. [Admission]: Our party purchased the same-day tickets and paid a $16 per person entry fee. [What to expect]: The market was approximately half food vendors and half arts / crafts / gift vendors. There were solid craft and gift vendors, but not too many art vendors. The food was extremely overpriced ... a simple appetizer = at least $15+ & a filling meal = at least $25. The only real positive? There was a mahjong area that offered free lessons. The performance stage was alright. [Food]: Our party ended up getting only 6 pieces of soup dumplings (aka XLB) from Dumpling Dream for $14 and a cup of gelatea from Boutcha for $7.20 (one of the most affordable and best item to get at the market). [Conclusion]: If I ever come back to 626 Night Market, I would probably stick with the Arcadia location as parking is free and the admission fee is slightly cheaper. I am still having a hard time digesting the fact that getting into the market cost $30+ before even buying any food if I come here alone and I would also need to spend another $25+ just to feel like I had eaten a legit meal. I am good with this one-and-done visit.

I hired the wanted taco for a company anniversary party and received nothing but positive feedback…read morefrom every guest. Everything was so flavorful and the attendants were so polite and professional. They brought the perfect amount of food, and we even had a little leftovers that they packed for us at the end.

This review is for the delivery service that I ordered for a first birthday party at a park, where…read morevendors (actual serving of the food by staff) was not allowed. I had ordered carne asada, carnitas, and pollo which came with salsas, guacamole, rice, beans, and chips for 70 people, with an add on of horchata and watermelon agua fresca. The delivery and setup went smoothly, and the amount of food was more than enough for the group. The amount of condiments given was generous as well. The downsides were the quality of the carnitas and pollo. The carnitas seemed dry and was chopped into large cubes. The pollo was shredded and mixed in with equal amounts of bell pepper and onion. The best meat was clearly the carne asada, which was completely gone by the end of the event while the other two remained. We gave away the leftovers because they were mediocre. The horchata was good, but the agua fresca was barely sweet and kind of lacking in flavor. I have sampled many taco bars at various events over the years. Overall, I was surprised that this company had a rating of 5 stars on both Yelp and Google. For a price of a little over $1200, it felt quite expensive and like we were mainly paying for the delivery and quantity of food. Friendly and prompt service, but somewhat disappointing product.

She also has home made Mexican hot chocolate (Champurrado) but I've not yet tried it. This is a new go to place for carry out tamales. Highly recommended.

* I used to love Mr. Hot Bunz. I hired them years ago for a friend's baby shower, and they were the…read moretalk of the town--literally. Guests raved about them for years. Their bacon-wrapped hot dog and signature piñabero sauce were unforgettable. The meat was tender, juicy, and absolutely delicious. Fast forward to a few years later: I was hosting another baby shower at a venue in Huntington Beach. Even though they didn't have a license to operate in the city--and their pricing was higher--I still really wanted them. I even offered to cover the cost of the business license so they could cater my event. But the day of the event was a total letdown. The staff arrived late and started cooking in foil trays, which immediately raised questions from my guests. I kept trying to hype them up, saying "just wait, this is the best I've ever had!"--but when the food came out, it was disappointing. Tacos and hot dogs were bland, and even the "signature" sauce couldn't save it. Guests were making comments like, "Taco Bell would've been better." To make matters worse, it was so embarrassing that my guests ended up filling up on the pizzas I had ordered for the kids. Since then, I've had friends and family recommend other taco caterers, which kind of stings given how much I once vouched for Mr. Hot Bunz. Really disappointed. I truly hope they can bring back the quality they once had, but I won't be using them again.

My biggest concern was the lack of access to water and the response to a medical situation I witnessed. At one point, someone appeared to be overheated and ended up on the ground. Given the warm weather and large crowds, I was surprised by the lack of urgency and support. Staff didn't have "water cups" so they ignored what was going on around them. I also asked for a cup of water to stay hydrated and was told no. For an event where people are walking around for hours in the sun, basic access to water should be a priority. The event itself was fun and well attended, but I think there is room for improvement when it comes to attendee safety, hydration, and responding to medical concerns.

Each chili vendor has a different take, so go in with an open mind. I also never agree with Chili contest winners. So there lots of different types, seasonings, with or without meat. You buy tasting tickets, then use the tickets to receive a chili sample. Lines are long, so be patient. Tips I've seen from other people is to bring a muffin tin to hold all your samples. It's a great event that could use improvement, therefore I will most likely not return.

I asked the cost of a burrito and when I went to pay, they said it'd be "a little more" cause I'm paying with card. Didn't think about it and swiped (thinking it's tax and maybe a cc surcharge), but realized they moved the price up almost 40%. Not having price transparency is bad business practice. The food took a bit and my burrito was more than 1/2 lettuce. I don't think the food is bad, but also not great. The cashier was kind and they had tables for you to sit. I'm just realizing that taco trucks used to be a good deal, but it seems more so now that they're more expensive than brick and mortar spots.
