This restaurant has quickly become such a favorite of mine. Their tacos are so good and I cannot get over how amazing they are. Everytime I want to try something else on the menu, I cannot because I want the tacos again. My order is the taquitos dorados de pollo con consome. Absolutely incredible and something I had never tried before. Then, I get a taco de birria and de cecina. The birria is better each time and their tortillas are hechas a mano and fresh. The cucumber agua fresca is really good. They also serve chips and salsa and I recommend the salsa cremosa. The women who have served me each time are so kind. The vibe is relaxing and there is plenty of seating. During the world cup they were playing big games and they also have music playing. This place is the best. read more

Food is not all that no flavor service is not even average. Ambiance not there as well. The menu does not have a price of the food and by the time you're ready to pay it's not even worth the price you pay for the food. If there's a negative rating I'll give them a negative rating. Eating out will cost you we know that but they're clearly should not be in food business. I was expecting somehow a home cooked meal. At least a good to average salsa flavor but even the salsa is not a go to salsa flavor. NEVER GOING BACK! MATCH YOUR PRICE TO YOUR FLAVOR! read more

Taco Veloz, Great Chilaquiles verdes!!! Great food always and the owners are super nice they already know us every time we show up they are very nice folk! Im worried, I went today and the restaurant was closed for the day hope all is well. :( read more

This place is a joke. We asked for a spicy fish soup, and it was tomato soup. My father-in-law got menudo with pigs feet and no feet they said it after we got our food, and he didn't get a choice to get something else. My wife's torta had pretty much beans and the bread. To top it off, the prices were wrong. I told the waitress, and she said sorry they haven't updated the menus and still charged me the extra even though that illegal I asked can I see the rest of the menus they had the wrong all of them defenetly gonna look for legal action read more

First thing you see when you enter is a beautiful decor of Mexican culture. We were greeted and asked whether we'd be eating in or out. You choose your desired table and your given the menu. You get a drink and appetizer while you choose what to order. The waitress was nice she brought our food in less than 15 minutes. The food was great, I ordered a plate(fajitas de pollo). The only downside were the dry tortillas and the metallic taste in the water. The place needs a bit of cleaning as well. read more

They have the best mojara echa al mojo de ajo (fish mojara with garlic). My Pakistaní boyfriend loves it!! I love to order their natural juices and during the cold season, their Champurrado! The owner is super sweet and attentive to our order and knows my order already! read more

I really like this place. The food is solid. The people are super nice. It feels really comfortable when you are there. It is a little small so not great for large groups. Also not super quick. Have never had anything bad here. Really like the mole. Generous portions as well. read more

I wish I could leave less than one star. This was the worst Mexican food I've ever had in my life. The service was horrible they don't have regular water you have to buy bottled for $2 a bottle, they were out of lettuce, so she said they don't have salads when I was trying to get a taco salad which is on the menu, they had a surcharge of $3 if you use a credit card without telling you they just charge it on your card, they changed the pricing on the bill from what was on the menu, I asked for pico de gallo and she said no problem and then she charged me $3 for it for my chips and salsa from when they give them to you for free. It's fine if they charge but they need to tell you before they charge you. I'm super unhappy the food was disgusting see attached picture when I said no Peppers nothing hot I can't eat any of that and they served it with my food anyway. I tried a couple bites and then could not eat I had to go to the Chinese restaurant next door. Horrible and horrible service and I speak Spanish and she still just looked at me with an angry look like she did not understand what I was saying and I went real slow. read more

When my wife's brother and sister-in-law recommended this place they really praise their food and service and they were right.

We have got to go back very soon and when we visit Southern California again we will be going back to this restaurant to enjoy the wonderful food. read more

I've always wanted to try this place since I always see it when i go grocery shopping. Good thing my boyfriend and I ate there this past Monday. I had the chilaquiles verdes and they were crispy and came with beans and rice it was so yummy my boyfriend had the birria wich was flavorful as well. Service was very friendly even though it was just one waitress and I think one cook. You guys should try this local spot read more

Food is always amazing! I love the wet burrito de lengua and the alambre plate! With all of the super cute/funny signs around makes the place feel homey. The waitresses are always super nice too. I live their red salsa for the chips :) definitely a place to go eat at often. read more

On our way to El Pollo Loco but decided to stop at this spot for authentic mexican food. I was excited to try this restaurant but unfortunately i can only give 2 stars based on their customer service and quality of my order. My partner ordered for me a "bean, cheese, and rice burrito with green sauce inside" (basic order) but they told him No that could not give sauce on the side of the order or inside the burrito that they could ONLY make the burrito "wet". Thats absolutely ridiculous... theres no reason to not just drizzle some salsa inside the burrito... now i have a soggy wet burrito that i cant even 1/4 through AND top it off there wasnt even any rice inside. Not worth the stop for me. read more

If you are looking for an authentic Mexican dish El Taco Veloz is were you should go. I personally like their Caldo de Pollo and Caldo de Res. It's prepared fresh each day. It tastes just like my mom prepared it. Portions are generous and reasonably priced. Order ahead pick up and en read more

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants that I have ever been to. The food is amazing and the service and atmosphere is the best. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food in the freshness of the dishes. It's one of the few restaurants that I can call really authentic and will definitely come back. read more

I came here with my husband and it was a wonderful experience. I tried the mole with chicken and it was one of the best I've tried. My husband ordered the barbacoa borrego consume and he loved it.

We will make this place one of the restaurants we visit often for sure! read more

Zero stars would be best for this place. The server wasn't bad, she was nice but when we brought it to her attention that the caldo was bad she automatically changed her attitude. The vegetables were all bad and had a weird smell. When we told her to take it after only looking at it and giving it a small taste to see if it tasted bad too she said she will charge us for it because "it was made yesterday so its fresh" like what?! Fresh would have been if it was made today. Then the audacity that the female cook had saying "i won't charge you for it but I am not selling you anything anymore okay bye" like what??. Girl bye. read more

Have to agree with the criticisms regarding service. which was really bad. I stopped by to get my sons two bean and rice burritos. I saw they had chili rellenos, so I asked them to make me a chili relleno burrito, and the woman said they did not have them. I asked her if she would just put a chili relleno and some beans in a burrito, charge me for it. She refused, and explained the chili rellenos were for combo plates. Seriously? Why not just charge me for what I want, not try to sell me what I do not? That said, in fairness the boys really liked their burritos, and they were good. But why support a business that doesn't care for you? read more

The food was delicious, definitely authentic mexican food. Green salsa was super spicy and delicious.Their portions are a great deal.

Had two Al pastor tacos that were stuffed full and very delicious. Loved the atmosphere as well.

Another average at best Mexican joint I only come to because I can walk to from work. At least this place didn't get me sick or serve me meat full of gristle. Their carne asada burrito was actually decent but their enchiladas with red sauce which was their lunch special is pretty nasty. I'd avoid anything with that red sauce, or any of their lunch special deals because there's probably a reason why they're selling it cheap. They did let me get away with using my credit card despite not meeting the minimum, so I'm gonna be a nice guy and give them 3 stars. read more

This is probably my favorite Mexican food restaurant in Santa Ana, the best. Food is exactly like homemade. My favorite dishes are camarones a la diabla and chilaquiles. Today I had the menudo and have to say it was really good. It had a lot of flavor and not greasy which is awesome. The waitress (dannie) is so nice and attentive! The owner is there as well and she is always making some BOMB micheladas! Definitely recommend this place ! read more

I went to "Taco's Siniloa" they're pretty fancy with their plates, silverware, and service. Except all that i require for a meal is taste. So, Coming from San Diego, where there is a taco shop everywhere you look(mostly albertos or robertitos), I had trouble deciding which taco shops to try in santa ana...First time, i hit the jack pot with "El Taco Veloz"... Far better than any albertos could duplicate, this carne asada burrito left my taste buds dancing with delight... I mean, it was like, BLAAAMM!!!! in my mouth. So then today i ordered another carne asada burrito and it tasted more like carnitas, which tasted even better!!!! So i couldnt possibly care that the order was wrong. As long as your not a pussy vegetarian, you can pretty much close your eyes and point at what you want and You Will Enjoy It! This Place is Banging with Flavor! read more

This place is the closest to authentic Mexican food! Their caldo de Pollo is delicious, they have big chunks of carrots which I love. They're birria is hella bomb too! I highly recommend. read more

The food is always great here. The staff is very friendly. I always get the chilaquiles rojos. They're my favorite.

The food is good but the service and shitty attitude suck balls. I will not come here again. I ordered a wet carnitas burrito. Now the menu clearly has a wet burrito with green sauce. When the asshole server lady which I think was like the cashiers daughter brought me the burrito it was with red sauce. When I told her I wanted green sauce not red. She started arguing with me that I was going to waste a whole burrito and that I should have ordered green sauce. When I clearly pointed out that the menu shows it with green sauce and that I had been there multiple time n always gotten it the same with no special request. She gave me attitude. Came back with my burrito 15 min later ( which I'm sure she spit in) and never checked up on us agian. Food is good but I will not return there. If u want to try it just do take out read more

Not a good place for seafood taco. The qualityand taste of fish and shrimp taco is not good at all.

Worst fucking place ever. Raggedy old place, obviously never renovated since they first opened. First time i ever came here i was served old caldo which obviously had been sitting around for a while & when I asked how fresh it was they said it wasnt & was only a day old or two... what! There was foam building up from the old beef in it & i refused to eat it but still had to pay full price for something that was spoiled? Second & last time ever i bring my in law & i brought in chinese food from next door the serve obviously saw me with it in hand. My in law decides to order & dine in. I order a coke & begin to eat my food & following my in law gets her food, we begin eating & a quarter way in the server comes up to us & says we cant have any food from outside. Understandle. if this was clarified from the beginning we would not have eaten here from the beginning instead the server let us eat a quarter way in & THEN decides to let us know. On the top part of the restaurant the assumed owners were present & should have let us know the moment they saw us. Very unprofessional from & already failing restaurant read more
